Raja October 23, 2018 Share October 23, 2018 32 minutes ago, Danny Franks said: hows on right now. The CW ones don't do it for me, and I haven't watched any of them since about season 4 of Arrow. Runaways was pretty good, but more of a teen drama than a superhero show, same with Cloak & Dagger. I couldn't get into Preacher, and I guess that's because stuff I found funny and edgy when I was a teenager doesn't quite resonate the same way now. Agents of SHIELD? Is that still on? I guess so. I'm not sure that even the most avid comic book fans are able to watch every superhero show, and keep track of what's going on. The season has been cut in half and due for a summer release after Avengers 4. It feels like a victory lap, we will allow you to wrap the dangling story lines up move from ABC. Link to comment
Kel Varnsen October 24, 2018 Share October 24, 2018 4 hours ago, Danny Franks said: Both shows were victims of simply not being very good. Iron Fist season 1 was notoriously bad, and I couldn't sit through more than three episodes of it. The second season was apparently better but, with all the content people have to choose from, how many were going to get invested in it? Luke Cage started off well, but went down the toilet when they replaced the interesting villain with another punchy guy, so he and Luke could fight over their shared daddy issues for half a season. Again, not really invested in watching a second season. Make good TV, and people watch it, and they talk about it. Daredevil and The Punisher are evidence of this. As was the first season of Jessica Jones. As far as I can tell, all three of those shows were hits, and I would expect them to continue for at least one more season apiece (we know Punisher and Jessica Jones have second and third seasons in the works). That's how I see it. Seasons 2 of Iron Fist and Luke Cage were both a lot better than the first. But neither came close to being as good as Daredevil either in acting, characters or stories. I also was a lot more interested in the first Punisher season than either of those show. And while the second season of Jessica Jones wasn't as good as the first I think i enjoyed it more than Luke Cage or Iron Fist, just because of how much I like the characters. Neither show was terrible, but with so many options for good tv and so many examples of great super hero stories (both in movies and on tv) just good doesn't cut it. Daredevil season 3 has been out for less than a week and i am already as far along as I am on IF season 2 that has been out for nearly 2 months. 3 Link to comment

People have pointed out that most of the occupations like Matt Murdock being an attorney and Jessica Jones a detective easily lend themselves to interesting individual cases in each episode. Instead the producers of each show choose to go for the season long story arcs that feel stretched out over 13 episodes and full of filler. It's nuts!

It will be a bit curious if Doctor Strange is the only official MCU film (Inhumans premiered as a film, but it's not officially in the film side) to not get a sequel. The character is a lot more enjoyable in films where his name isn't in the title. He was fun in Ragnarok and enjoyable in Infinity War, but insufferable in Doctor Strange. If Marvel ever manages to negotiate with Universal for the film rights to Namor, they might be able to make an old school Defenders movie. 5 Link to comment

HunterHunted October 27, 2018 Share October 27, 2018 If Namor is actually in the cards for the nearish future, let me reiterate that I want Lewis Tan (in general, yes), but specifically for Namor. Yes, Tan previously appeared in Iron Fist as another character, but this wouldn't be the first time an actor has played different characters in the MCU. Laura Haddock has done it; so has Enver Gjokaj, Tony Curran, and Alfre Woodard. Bizarrely, somehow Martin Starr got to play Mr. Harrington in Homecoming AND Amadeus Cho in the Incredible Hulk. So in conclusion, pick Lewis Tan. He's in shape, foine as fuck, and has actual fight and martial arts training. 4 Link to comment

Dee October 29, 2018 Share October 29, 2018 (edited) What Will 'Avengers 4' Be Called? Quote As anticipation grows for the fourth Avengers movie, so does speculation about the movie’s title, which remains under wraps with just over six months to go until release. By this point in its release cycle, even Star Wars: The Last Jedi’s title was known — that got revealed 11 months out — and the lack of knowledge is making fandom both excited and frustrated. It’s almost guaranteed that the movie’s title will feature or adapt a comic book series, following in the pattern established by earlier movies in the series — The Avengers, Age of Ultron and [The] Infinity War were all comic books before they were movies, even if the storylines don’t match entirely. But with more than half a century’s worth of comic books to choose from, which titles are most likely for Marvel Studios and Joe and Anthony Russo to choose from?

Jenniferbug October 29, 2018 Share October 29, 2018 Spoiler If we're getting an older Cassie Lang in Avengers 4 (potentially to set up a Young Avengers team?), perhaps Katherine could be Hawkeye's daughter from AoU also older? IMDB tells me her name is Lila. I could see Marvel using her as a Kate Bishop type character. Admittedly, I know nothing about Kate Bishop expect that she takes the Hawkeye mantle from Clint, but it seems he could train his daughter in archery. Link to comment

She could be the only one of his kids that is left after the snap (which... I saw someone speculating that it could just be voice work since this is so late in the process, so it could be a phone conversation, either live or like Zemo's message from his wife, and she never appears on screen). And then they could still have someone else as Kate Bishop in the potential streaming series/movie. ETA: Rumor is that she might be Tony and Pepper's grown child from 20 years in the future of the timeline after the snap. Edited October 29, 2018 by Wynterwolf 1 Link to comment

My brother described him as the biggest human he'd ever seen. The Big Show was eating a pint of Ben & Jerry's that looked like a shot glass in his hands. I was shoe shopping with the other brother; he wears a size 17. The store had a pair of Shaq's basketball shoes in his actual size, 22. My brother asked to put them on, which they let him do.

Dee November 10, 2018 Share November 10, 2018 (edited) 'Avengers 4' Runtime Is Currently 3 Hours Quote However Marvel's heroes defeat Thanos in next year's follow-up to Avengers: Infinity War, it's not going to happen quickly. In a recent live-streamed Q&A, director Joe Russo said that Avengers 4 is the longest Marvel Cinematic Universe movie yet — at least as it currently stands. "The running time on Avengers 4 is currently sitting right at three hours. We'll see if that holds," he said during an Instagram chat to promote his new bar, Duello, in downtown Los Angeles. That runtime is likely to change, however. In response to a question about where the movie is in terms of postproduction, he revealed, "We're about halfway through the editing process. We're really just scratching the surface on our VFX shots. There are more than 3,000 VFX shots in the movie; those require a lot of time and thought and energy and effort, and we're very early in the phase of getting VFX done. We've just started work with Alan Silvestri on the score, and we're still editing picture at this point." Russo, who's co-directing the feature with brother Anthony, stayed tight-lipped on the title of the movie, trolling fans with two separate fake technical errors that prevented him from revealing it. But he was happy to promise that it would live up to fans' expectations. "Will the stakes be higher in Avengers 4? Absolutely. 100 percent," Russo said. "The highest of any of the films to date, without question." Edited November 10, 2018 by Dee Link to comment
