The best way to do a Doctor Doom plot would be to have him basically be Darkman; a hobo with a mission and way too much free time.

Then good ol RDJ came along and made comic movies cool and the Titanic unsunk itself, but they sold off their best characters to Fox and Sony, and had to rely on the B team of the Avengers to bring things back. The best part is that they didn't really have any expectations for Iron Man. The script was more-or-less written as they went along, the lead was a washed-up relic of the 80's with a spotty past, and no one even knew who the gently caress Iron Man was until that perfect first trailer came out. I went back and rewatched Iron Man the other day and as awesome as Guardians, Doctor Strange, and Civil War were, Iron Man is still the best "film" to come out of the whole MCU.

precision posted:This season of The Americans has probably been my favorite since season 2. So much character movement, and I can definitely see how they're setting some pieces up for the final season. I mean, yeah, it feels like the whole season is just setting up for the next season. It feels like this season doesn't have its own season arc and it's just build up for the final seasom. There is a lot of good character stuff, I agree.

This isn't far from his Ultimate Universe origin and it was loving horrible. And for those asking why the Marvel rights are so splintered, they were drat near done for and piece-mealing out their character rights kept them afloat.

I knew plenty of non-nerd/dweeb kids in middle/high school that were into comics in the '90s. It's just that a lot of comics in that era were really, really bad.

Marvel should just create a character called Dr. Mood. Just have it be how Agents of SHIELD had not-Nightcrawler, not-Electro, and a ton of not-X-Men as inhumans in the TV show. Just reappropriate or invent a new character that is essentially the same but legally different.

Just bring back Madame Masque from Agent Carter. Everything about her MCU version is Doctor Doom--obsessed with her perfect face that's been ruined by an accident, is associated with a metal mask, is a scientific--but very proud--genius dabbling in magic.

What the hell was the need for that whole wedding scene in the latest Americans? It came out of goddam nowhere. What is the thematic importance of that from a creative perspective and where was the context to justify the character being compelled to do right then and that way.

Donald Glover has earned so much goodwill from me with the projects he's been involved with (30 Rock, Mystery Team, Community, Childish Gambino, and Atlanta) that I'd watch or listen to anything of his regardless of what it was.

less laughter posted:Atlanta was so good that a Deadpool cartoon almost seems beneath him at this point tbh. I was thinking about this too. Sure, the Deadpool we all know and love is the insane kooky lolrandom one from the movie and comics, but there's a hypothetical depth to the character that has only recently been explored. Brian Posehn (Sarah Silverman Program and a million other things) was writing Deadpool for a few years and did something that none of the previous writers had done--give him a conscience, which lead to him dealing with the realities of his life that he'd ignored before (the death of his parents and the daughter he didn't know he had). While it sounds boring and dark on the surface, it was actually a really good exploration of the effects of grief and loss have on a person while still remaining true to the character (and funny as gently caress to boot). Maybe that's the direction they're gonna go with in the show, or maybe Donglover just wants a project that isn't super serious.  After all, he started in comedy.[Edit: Also, comedies can also have serious drama moments. Rick & Morty and Bojack Horseman do a great job balancing the two, and two of You're The Worst's best episodes about depression and PTSD, respectively.] asecondduck fucked around with this message at 14:49 on May 11, 2017 |

Time travels shows: Why don't they say gently caress it and reboot The Time Tunnel? It was good and horrible garbage. I bet CBS would love it. Dr. Doom: I have thought about this forever and I cannot come up with a way they could make him cool. Maybe like an Iron Man suit but be all evil? IDK Fox makes garbage marvel movies, they're as bad as CBS.

They just need to make a movie based on the comic where Luke Cage comes after Dr. Doom because Doom owes him like, 200 bucks. I remember gently caress all about the plot or the reason, but Cage borrows the Fantastic Four's jet, flies all the way to Latveria, breaks into Doom's castle and tears through an assload of Doombots because Doom welshed on a bet or something. E: Honestly, I always liked Dr. Doom when he wasn't like flat out evil. Like, when he was morally dubious or he got his moments of 'haha gently caress you Richards', or even in things where he came out the good guy after all (even if it was in stuff like 'what ifs') LadyPictureShow fucked around with this message at 19:50 on May 11, 2017 |

lelandjs posted:Marvel's been limited with the characters they can use in their films and on TV because they sold some of the rights to some of their characters to Fox and Sony ages ago. Fox has rights to *most* of the X-Men and Fantastic Four characters for TV, film, and merchandise (but not all of them, which is how Marvel was able to make a Legion TV series). Sony's got the rights to Spidey and his associated characters, but since they're batting 1/5 with the Spider-Man films (Spider-Man 2, fight me) they traded the film rights to Marvel for Civil War and Spider-Man: Homecoming in exchange for the merchandising rights for the character. I thought Universal still had the right to solo Hulk movies.

Joe Kelly plumbed alot of that IMO, along with Nicezea (can never get his name right). Do need to catch up on the current run, haven't read his comics in the last couple years.

I actually kinda enjoyed Making History, the amateur Drunk History-esque vibe it had going for it was charming. It always felt kinda "webseries" to me but in a good way, if that makes any sense. Son of Zorn was terrible and I won't miss it at all, and the concept for APB was so tone deaf that I didn't even bother (even though it had Jo from Eureka).

My boyfriend liked APB, but I for the life of me could not follow the plot for an entire episode. I'd be watching the whole time, but it's like my brain would do that 'you have my undivided attention' *cartoony barn animals dancing* Simpsons gag about five minutes in. The only shame is that I'm always happy to see Ernie Hudson getting work.

Also they have all animation rights, which is why the new Deadpool cartoon has to be a co-production because Fox can't do it without them. Also I've missed a week of TV shows due to a death in the family and have no desire to catch up on any of them. I might just sit them all out until later in the summer.

It was definitely politics, and had nothing to do with the fact that it was a show that had already hit that sweet syndication deal, was pulling in 7 million viewers on a good week, and was almost certainly looking at increased costs entering a 7th season.MiddleOne posted:How the hell did Tim Allen still have a sit-com in 2017, what the gently caress.
