Named herself Skye, her real name is Daisy, her name in the orphanage that was assigned to her was Mary Sue Toots. It's not canonical but people like to imagine she was in the same orphanage as Daredevil, the timelines and location line up pretty well.

In the first season her whole hacktivist take down the system schtick is annoying, but she gets over that by the end of the first season. Bizarrely, after she becomes super good at Kung Fu and gets superpowers she actually feels like less of a Mary Sue somehow.

The other Daredevil connection is the boxer who fought Matt's dad later became Absorbing Man and he appeared for 3 episodes in AoS.

He wasn't trying to get you, he was quoting Kyle McLachlan's character. It's almost a catch phrase of his, and became a running joke in the tviv thread. Kyle McLachlan is absolutely fantastic in it btw. I'll sheepishly defend a lot of the show, but he's just objectively great in it.

I feel like the hacktivism could have worked if they'd done anything with it. Like, Skye was set up to be this cog in the system but the writers weren't interested in making the rest of the cast 'company men' so she lost the necessary contrast. Now I'm trying to remember when Coulson and his team became the wild-cards of SHIELD ... I feel like it happened early, like by episode 7 or 8 of season 1 at the latest.

K. Waste posted:That's both awesome, and not boding well for Wonder Woman's movie-fight potential. I wouldn't judge the color too much, as these are both lovely captures from full screen YouTube using the print screen button. The framing in both I think is interesting. But I love how Diana's outfit is as much of a carbon copy of Clark's as a woman's suit from the 1910s could possibly be. The framing of course matters. They put the camera under Clark with a lot of empty space emphasizing his control over the situation, which before that shot in this scene he was pretending not to have. In Wonder Woman she is behind the cowering Steve Trevor, there is hardly any empty space, the camera is at more or less eye level. The shot is more emphasizing her subtlety and subversiveness. It's interesting that their opposite because Clark wants his identity to be secret and Diana wants her identity to be public instead of posing as a secretary, but both shots emphasize the opposite. Theother main difference is Lois is turned around because she doesn't want to know what happens next and doesn't care about Clark that much to feel any protective feelings for him. She's just got him shot, while Steve is already in the know, and does care about Diana and feel protective. He's protecting her and cowering at the same time.

Dianas outfit in that shot is in fact a Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps uniform.

The new X-Men movie is officially titled Dark Phoenix. So I guess Kinberg decided he deserved a mulligan.

Wanting to increase Sophie Turner's prominence in the franchise was not my takeaway from X-Men Apocalypse, but I guess they have to do something if Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, and James McAvoy aren't coming back. Best of the new generation is, I guess, Quicksilver? Looking at IMDB informs that Baby Stryker was Slit from Fury Road.

He's always been a favorite of mine and for a few years there he was treated like a joke because of Scientology or whatever. As if religion has any bearing on acting talent. Although I haven't seen any of the newer MI movies. It's so weird they brought back that dead horse and yet it seems to have really taken off. What is the best Cruise film, anyway? I like to re-watch A Few Good Men fairly often.

Dunno about his best movie, but the reason I licked him again was the one-two punch of Edge of Tomorrow and Oblivion. Two fantastic science fiction movies with Tom Cruise dying a lot, what's not to love.

The most recent Mission Impossible was cool. It felt like the result of a bet to have Ethan almost never use a gun.

The whole M:I franchise is good. Not a bad movie at any point and I legit love the most recent two. You might find 2 to be the most ridiculous but it's John Woo so why expect anything else.

Like, he's not remembering the cost, or the potential consequences, he just pauses. Then the villains storm in. It's such a weirdly contrived pause to let the villains in, which they could have done at any time anyway.
