I guess it's a dumb thing to argue about, since there is no definition (Katee Sackhoff has also been in movies either way), but I'd bet a whole lot more people these days know James Spader from Boston Legal than they do from Crash or Stargate or whatever.

Actors have always moved from TV to movies and nowadays it goes both ways since TV quality has gone up dramatically. Saying someone is a bad actor just because they did/do some TV work is nearsighted since George Clooney was a "TV actor." Denzel Washington was a "TV actor." Bryan Cranston is a "TV actor" and according to Sir Anthony Hopkins "[His] performance as Walter White was the best acting I have seen - ever."

That wasn't my point, especially as I think TV is generally way loving better than movies these days. They probably still cost less money than Hollywood actors, though.

Like half of their promotional material has been "wow look at these sentinels!!! gosh they are big and also robots". There's a whole fake Trask Industries website with stuff like this video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92YBR9gEyYI So it's pretty clear there's going to be Sentinels, both in the bleak future as well as likely the earliest ones showing up in the stuff in the past.

They've improved it. I'm still not sure why they went with Cat-Beast in First Class, this one is closer to the one from X3. Oddly enough though, there's been promo pics showing both this, human Beast and Cat-Beast in DOFP so it's possible he may undergo a temporary cure and retransformation. If you look at this pic his clothes are ripped as if he transformed like a werewolf.

Yeah, Thor 2 ruled. I'd probably put it in the top 3 Marvel films. Went on a bit long, but it was just a ton of fun with some really creative art design and the final battle is probably the best action setpiece in any Marvel film. Also, it has Tom Hiddleston's finest performance yet. Chris Eccleston was great, too, even if the character wasn't very deep.

I'm starting to think Marvel films just get better the less SHIELD stuff they have in it because Thor 2 was a lot more fun then I expected it to be. It still has it's problems, it kind of meanders a bit in the middle and the villains are as generic as possible, but other than that it's a nice fun story. Suprisingly how much Portman put in as I was expecting her to phone it in for the first hour and the just die same with the ending though the reveal wasn't shocking it's surprising that they're bucking the Marvel trend and setting up Thor 3 rather than an Avengers/different film. Also I do like how Thor 1 ended with it being a big deal that the Rainbow Bridge was destroyed and every subsequent film is just like "eh it's not really that important and is easily fixed".

In Thor 2, I was a little disappointed that the above line in Avengers didn't really have anything to do with the plot, but the whole thing of the Convergence was still pretty good.

So basically instead of being really easy it's now a bit of a pain in the rear end without the bridge. Like highway construction.

I'm feeling good about this batch of Marvel flicks being less obnoxious about constantly reminding you that they exist in a metafranchise SEE ALL MOVIES because A. They've already got the hooks in and B. They have a TV show for that now. Looking forward to better films without that millstone on their necks.

I think you'll get better films because, outside of GotG, most won't be origin stories. And if they are then the setting they take place in is already established.

You can really misfire if folks go to Thor and get the origins of Dr Strange, and if Strange's just doesn't work then his movie becomes a feature about a dull supporting character. Plus, to play the part you need someone who could anchor a movie, but doesn't mind being in a supporting role. Working folks into a TV show could work better, because it doesn't matter if one episode focuses on something weird, but I don't think movie folks like going back to TV.
