It is the show I watch and then watch again. notthegoatseguy posted:How is this show not tearing up the Internet? It is easily the best comic book show on TV right now. I'm disappointed whenever I go into a comic book thread and people aren't talking about how amazing Legion is.

There's this story I've heard about how Isabella was building up to revealing that the Friend was Jesus when Shooter nixed the idea, and instead the character was revealed to be Satan(nish) instead.

Lurdiak posted:Boring, wake me up when a tv show does the requisite "God is probably real after all and science can't explain some things." thing but from a Muslim perspective. As a Muslim, we believe in Jesus too. He comes back for the Day of Judgement, did miracles, and everything else. We just don't believe he was the son of God. So it's about as valid. I guess,we kinda just gave him a reverse of Wonder Woman Zeus Retcon.

Marvel has The One Above All but hopefully he doesn't appear in Infinity War and the MCU can be limited to the Celestials

My plan all along has been to wait for the season to be over, and then buy and binge the whole thing, so just to confirm, next week is the season finale for Legion right?

good day for a bris posted:As a Muslim, we believe in Jesus too. He comes back for the Day of Judgement, did miracles, and everything else. We just don't believe he was the son of God. So it's about as valid. I know, I've just been marathoning a lot of garbage US tv, and all of them have an episode where there are either subtle or overt hints that Christian faith is real and characters go through an arc about that. I want to see the House episode or X-files episode where muslim faith is given that consideration.

FX shows tend to end up on Netflix, right? Unfortunately don't have cable, so I figure that's my best chance for seeing Legion. Edit: vv gently caress catlord fucked around with this message at 01:52 on Mar 25, 2017 |

pubic works project posted:I'm enjoying Iron Fist WAY more than I did with Luke Cage. Even the first half of Luke Cage? The second half of it was much less interesting. I just finished Iron Fist and it is probably the worst Marvel Netflix show, but it was very watchable. It's also the first Netflix series where the second half is much better than the first half. The first two episodes are the worst by far. They both have a great final 10 minutes, though. I think the three big problems with it were: 1) It is very "even" throughout the majority of the show. It is a solid 6/10 for about 85% of its runtime and it almost never gets really amazing or really terrible. 2) Finn Jones does all of his own choreography and stunts. Much like the show, he is very average at it most of the time. 3) The other Marvel Netflix shows all lean really heavily into their genres. Luke Cage is a 70's blacksploitation show (with superheroes) Jessica Jones is a noir story about abuse (with superheroes) Daredevil is a courtroom drama during the day and a horror movie from the perspective of the monster at night (with superheroes) Iron Fist is a Kung-Fu movie... wait actually it's about corporate espionage... well its kind of about Daredevil season two... and sort of a trauma redemption story, but not really... kind of a batman thing... only more mystical? But also grounded (with superheroes). They should have leaned harder into the Kung-Fu and mystical aspect. They have a bunch of really good concepts and setups that just aren't executed great. The psych ward had a lot of great potential, but felt meh. The closing scene during the chinese parade at the end of the first episode had a cool look and a lot of potential, but doesn't really use it. It has reminded me how amazing David Wenham's buttery smooth voice is. I'd watch a spin-off where he just monologues to his personal assistant for an hour each episode.

I dunno. I have different tastes than a lot of you guys on here. I just got hooked on Iron Fist while it took me a bit to get into Luke Cage. I still enjoyed it, but I haven't finished it yet. Life got in the way. It just says something to me when it takes an effort to finish a series. Took me forever to finish Jessica Jones. I thought it was the weakest of the four in the sense that it interests me the least. Daredevil blows all of them out of the water and then I rank Luke Cage and Iron Fist the same (since I haven't finish either).

Luke Cage was a way better show, but I also hit a wall watching it a few times. IF is easier to binge for whatever reason.

Well, I liked Jessica Jones almost as much as Daredevil Season 2 (Season 1 is still the best Netflix show), but if you didn't like the first half of Luke Cage it's probably good that you didn't finish it. The first half is much better than the second half. Also, you are probably going to really like Iron Fist. The second half of Iron Fist is much better than the first half.

If he didn't do his own fights then they hired one of the most mediocre stunt fighters (or choreographers) ever.

Longbaugh01 posted:I highly doubt this and it's the first I've heard of it. I was technically wrong. He had an interview with Marvel Inside where he says that he did almost every fight scene himself, but that he had a stunt double for falls, flips, some of the acrobatic scenes that were not fight scenes. Original point is still valid, though. Jones isn't as good as whoever the stunt double is for Daredevil.

It'll probably end up on Netflix, you'll just have to wait until the second season is about to start. Archer and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia are both on there and the previous season usually shows up right before the new one begins.

Why not put him in a costume, even a "make shift" temporary one, so a stunt double can get in? Or make modifications to Danny's appearance so it is easier to swap in a stunt double? DDS2 and Iron Fist both really seem like Marvel Entertainment has realized these things could be going on indefinitely and have tightened the purse strings because of that.

If they hadn't cast someone with the stupidest looking haircut ever it would be a lot easier to stunt double him. But seriously I honestly think the answer to those questions is sheer incompetence from the showrunner.
