notthegoatseguy posted:Has this been confirmed for the show? Yes, it's a parallel universe. They originally said it wasn't but now they're saying it is. The recent interviews about the Matt Nix show have all mentioned that show is in the same universe as the films and this show is not. It's set in a universe where the public doesn't know about mutants at all. Plus even if it was, if it's really set in the '60s or '70s it would put it right around the same era as First Class or Days of Future Past making it impossible for this to be Xavier's son.

I don't know First Class Xavier was picking up random women in bars.

Well he'd have to have a different mutant power altogether to pick up women in bars in a parallel universe.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Since they showed Senator Nadeer's office in this week's SHIELD, we know she is a Senator from New York. Why does Marvel make all their villains and jerks Senators from New York? I've been in a lot of politicians offices over the years and the idea that a US Senator's office would be empty in the middle of the afternoon on the same day as a hearing is ludicrous. This is not me making a legitimate criticism but lamenting when stuff you know about irl takes you out of a show. I imagine experts on everything a spider can do feel the same way watching Spiderman movies.

"You can't tell this story without that element," Hawley later added when asked if Professor Xavier, Legion's father in the comics, would be acknowledged on the show. "I mean, there's a wheelchair in the first scene..." That quote obviously doesn't confirm anything, and I don't expect McAvoy or Stewart to ever show up on the show, but it does seem like they've hinted at X being daddy.

I lived in D.C. when Homeland became really big and I was constantly taken out of the show when they met up in huge parks in "Downtown DC" that had rivers and large parking lots. They also have a grocery store chain that is in North Carolina, but not D.C. featured in several episodes. Homeland is very obviously filmed nowhere near D.C. or NoVa and they have huge weird mistakes in almost every episode. On Homeland, the Dupont Circle Park is a giant square park that stretches for miles with tons of trees, a long jogging path, and a large forest in the background. The actual Dupont Circle Park is about 200 feet wide and looks like this:

Imagine living in NYC and seeing all the shows and movies that are painfully inaccurate in their geography, assuming they are shot here at all. Daredevil can be a bit rough as an actual NYer. For example, I think he mentions never having been north of 96th street (which is a pretty NY joke to make, which is a nice nod), but the courthouse where all that crazy poo poo went down is down the street from Yankee Stadium, in the Bronx... on 161st street... Then there is the basic stuff like how Hell's Kitchen doesn't really look much like it does on the show since the show I believe predominantly films in Brooklyn and Queens. I was happy that at least a few scenes in Luke Cage actually filmed on 125th street in Harlem, the very street the finale of Incredible Hulk was supposed to take place, though I don't think they shot there, IIRC (it's been a while since I have seen it). Ghostbusters (the original) remains one of the most geographically faithful films for NY that I have ever seen. Die Hard With A Vengeance is a distant second, if only because the Harlem parts were not shot on the streets that they took place.

Incredible hulk was filmed very clearly in toronto. That scenes features both a famous toronto record store and their sign and the brightest strip club sign in the world.

One of my favourite weird location setting thing though was watching the second Avengers movie and there was a scene that said "African Coast" which is already a stupidly vague thing, which was filmed in Johannesburg, a city that is about a 7 hours drive away from the nearest "African Coast".

I want Cage to reference Ghost Dog when he meets Rand in Defenders now. It'd even fit the arguments about black art in his own show.

What even is Riverdale? I saw an ad and it looked like some kind of supernatural thriller featuring Archie characters? Is it just more of a conventional soap opera then?

I'd put it more along the lines of "Twin Peaks" minus the supernatural (at least so far - who knows where it will go) plus more CW-style teen soap. I liked it a lot.

Nothing supernatural. It's a "dark" take on Archie. It's very CW-ish. Not sure if I liked the episode or not. But Veronica was great all around. The guy playing Archie talks weird and makes me not like him. Basically if the show was about Betty and Veronica and everyone else was supporting that, it seems like it would be pretty good.

It's not even that dark, it's only dark compared to traditional super cheesy stuck-in-the-50s Archie.

Watched it last night, it sucked. But it's going to be huge. Never read an Archie comic in my life and i have a bunch, i think. Reminded me of a Christian version of the Beano.

So they've announced that Rachel Bloom (the CW show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) as well as Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land) are all contributing songs to the musical episode. Bloom's song is "Superfriends" while the Pasek/Paul song is called "Runnin'."
