Chris Evans is only signed through his third movie or something(6 total, 3 cap 3 avengers). Sebastian Stan is signed for like 9 movies. We could definitely see them do the storyline that has him take over on the big screen.

I'd still rather see Anthony Mackie take over as Cap.

We certainly could see that, but my guess is they're just going to recast the part when Evans is done.

Maybe I've just completely forgotten, but when did she ever socially engineer anything besides the one time she got them tickets to that one event? Because all I remember about her hacking is that it was the exact type of bullshit encryption back-server double-hacking that you'd see on CSI. I liked her character and think that she's easily one of the better parts of the show (though to be fair this is largely in part to most of the other parts of the show being so weak pre-TWS), but let's not pretend that the show's gone out of its way to make her abilities realistic, or to portray her as just very clever rather than a literal computer wizard.

One I liked was when she had the bracelet that kept her from using computers, she figured out a way around it testing it on everything until she found something it didn't break, then she used the breaking thing to brick a guy's cell phone with a shield logo to pose as a threat.

Another thing I really liked was when she tricked Ward to come to a location to hack something while she was actually contacting the authorities. That one didn't actually work, but was clever.

This doesn't mean they intend to use him in nine movies. It means that as a less established actor, it didn't cost as much to include the option to as it would for Evans.

I'm not going to say you are wrong, but they signed Samuel Jackson for a ton of movies, and he must cost a lot. :shrug: They may not go that direction, but I feel like the reason they even bothered signing him for that long was they were thinking it was a possible direction they could explore.

It doesn't cost much to get Sam Jackson, believe it or not. Dude's last big movies before the marvel casting were snakes on a plane and some sort of thing where he was a cop stalking an interracial couple.

It can be done well, if you have good writing and a good actor. Eureka is perfect example. Jack Carter was the everyman who spent 99% of most episode out of his depth but was never out of his league.

OH poo poo!

The Tick is coming back on Amazon, Patrick Warbuton is returning and Ben Edlund is writing/producing.

quote:

Don’t worry citizens, The Tick is back to save the day!

Broad-shouldered Patrick Warburton only sported his blue antennae for one season the first go-around, but the critically acclaimed superhero parody is now being revived on Amazon, a source tells PEOPLE.

The cult-classic series is based on a comic book by Ben Edlund and was first brought to television as an animated series that enjoyed three seasons of success in the mid 1990s. In early 2012, Fox canceled Warburton's live-action version (which also starred a pre-Lost Nestor Carbonell) after just nine episodes.

But no one can stop The Tick from keeping watch over The City.



Warburton – who has also appeared on Seinfeld and Rules of Engagement – recently inked a deal with Amazon and Sony to reprise his role, with Edlund producing and writing, according to the source.

The cartoon had some great poo poo under a layer of bad cartoon crap. The live action had great poo poo with the most awkward live action crap around at the time.
The funeral episode was great tho. And for I hope they get Nestor Carbonell back.

Hey Ma, who's that band I like? Oh yeah, Hall & Oates.
So after years of talking trash on Arrow, including two attempts to get into it which never panned out, I finally was able to binge through the first season.

I dig this show. But the first 19 episodes were nothing but an uphill climb. I hope season 2 is as good as the last few episodes of the first season.

To everyone in this thread who kept telling me I was an idiot for not watching this show: thanks for the coffee advice, and the sex.

I have the feeling we have someone with this reaction every couple of pages. It's true though, the show definitively improves once they decided to deal back the sitcom crap. It still has some slipups down the road, mostly with stuff dealing with Thea.

And yes, season two is a ride, back to front. One of the greatest things about the show is that they don't really dwell on things. If a plot point gets introduced and you don't like it, you can count on it being resolved within the next to episodes.

Arrow took a while to find its feet, but I figure things really turned around during the Huntress arc. This is not to say it was spinning its wheels like Agents of Shield, but it felt too much like villain of the week stuff beforehand, but once the Huntress arc hit things became a lot tighter. Season 2 was awesome as well. I'm really looking forward to season 3, as well as Flash.

The first time I watched it, I got to the one where the "other Archer" showed up. My second time through, I got to the one with Baltar in it. Then I tried watching the season 1 recap before season 2 started. None of it hooked me. So I watched the first half of season one three times (including my recent binge I just finished) before I was able to get to the second half of the season.

I'm not going to compare it to Agents of SHIELD, because that's been done to death.

I'm hoping season 2 is better, but as much as I really like Arrow now, the first season was overall pretty atrocious, but it found its feet in the very end. I genuinely enjoyed the last 4-5 episodes, looking forward to new stuff.

Oh hey, River Tam just showed up.

I want to get into it, but do not want to slog through the first 19. Is it necessary to watch all of them? Can I skip to the end of the season or is there a preferred watchlist going into season 2? I am definitely looking forward to Flash and wanted to get some background on that shared universe.
