marktheando posted:Yeah the first Thor movie is a fun fish out of water movie. That's the thing though, it's not. It should be, but they hadn't figured out the character at that point yet. I'd love to see that same movie but with the current goofier take on Thor. That little thing they did with Thor hanging out with office worker Darryl during Civil War did more with the idea in five minutes than the first movie did in ninety. Best thing they do early in Avengers is have Tony Stark puncture that earnest pomposity with the "doth mother know thou wearest her drapes" line. Joss Whedon may have struggled a bit with how he handled Cap, but he did a brilliant job turning Hulk and Thor into interesting characters. Fair enough to anyone who likes the films in the series that I don't and vice versa of course.

I dunno, Thor in the pet shop demanding a horse, or a dog of equal size, is pretty dang funny.

I think the first Thor movie, by and large, was pretty boring. It had good moments but I wouldn't want to watch it a second time. I'll totally give the Iron Man and Captain America movies another look, if they showed up on Netflix though.

ufarn posted:IMDb reviews for TV shows are often contingent on people sticking around long enough to bother rating the show. This is even "worse" for shows than have run for several season whose fan base is the only one around; Supernatural is not an 8.6 show. IMDB is fanboy inflation central. But Supernatural is absolutely an 8.6 show.

So with Disney starting yet another streaming service, will Netflix keep the Defenders after 2019?

I thought I read that all the Marvel TV properties are staying. Pretty sure all the MCU movies will be moving to the new service, though. FAKE EDIT: Yep. Here it is quote:CEO Bob Iger told CNBC's Julia Boorstin Disney had a "good relationship" with Netflix, but decided to exercise an option to move its content off the platform. Movies to be removed include Disney as well as Pixar's titles, according to Iger. Netflix said Disney movies will be available through the end of 2018 on its platform. Marvel TV shows will remain. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/08/disney-will-pull-its-movies-from-netflix-and-start-its-own-streaming-services.html?_source=facebook

Timby posted:To translate this into non-comic-speak: Ike Perlmutter--the dude who bought Marvel out of bankruptcy--was effectively removed from running Marvel Studios movies a few years ago because Kevin Feige hated him and said he'd walk; Disney decided the hojillions of dollars were worth more. Jeph Loeb is now in charge of all Marvel television. but that's the one area where Perlmutter has a bit of say. He's also still incredibly sore about Fox owning the rights to the X-Men (and them making fucktons of money on First Class and Days of Future Past, which is why he refuses to license X-Men movie toys). Loeb was in charge of Marvel Television long before the Feige/Perlmutter split, actually.

In all honesty, the time between books doesn't drive me as mad as it does some people. Like yeah, I want to read The Winds of Winter, but I don't think he owes it to me to get it out in a specific time. It would suck if he dies before he finishes it, but c'est la vie.

Yes she is. But so are the Defenders. Mike Colter is probably the least bad but the shittiness of that "let me be inside you" line wasn't all the writing.

Iron Fist wasn't the end of the world bad, it just wasn't very good. I didn't completely hate it at first. However, listening to capt rainbow be a smug, insufferable twat about it in every thread Iron Fist gets mentioned in for the last 6 months has actually made me hate the show a little bit. Is this what it's like to deal with "browncoats"?

If not sounding like a hyperbolic rear end in a top hat going after low-hanging fruit means I'm a smug twat, then guilty as charged I guess? Besides, you can stop following me around, that might be easier.
