If it gets a second season, they need to do something completely different. What everyone hoped they were going to do before seeing the trailers for S1. Mystical, hosed up crazy poo poo. Totally rework his personality and fighting style. Tournament of the Seven Cities of Heaven. He's wasn't a badass hero you're watching a superhero show to see, and he's wasn't a character you're watching a character-driven show to see. It just felt like nothing.

I hated how they couldn't decide if his training had made him wise and zen or completely insane and with PTSD. It would change from scene to scene.

I know you're not actually angry or anything, but poo poo, lighten up a bit. John Wick with a smaller budget and worse cinematography is a good thing, because something just 50% as good as John Wick will still be loving excellent. I don't care about the gunplay in Daredevil because A) I highly doubt that the exact same people are working on both projects though I could be wrong, and B) I have a trailer here with some dope rear end gunplay in it.

Speaking of, there's some supposed spoilers from those early screeningsquote:Movie begins with cellphone footage of some kids interviewing Superman and asking what he likes best about Earth. After the title card, a news montage shows how lovely the world has become since Superman died, and how Batman disappeared. Dark_Tzitzimine fucked around with this message at 07:44 on Sep 22, 2017 |

Seems fair. References are like a subcategory of quip. Although I am confused as to why the Flash would ride inside of the Batmobile, or any vehicle. I would either run everyone there myself, or just be like "Ok guys call me when you get there" and then go have dinner in Italy or something.

Some of those spoilers appear to conflict with the previous spoilers so I guess they decided to re-add certain stuff from the script that they initially cut out.quote:Editing is pretty messy in the first two acts, but finds a nice groove in time for the final battle. quote:Flash is the biggest comedy relief and his references are out of control. He hums the 60's Batman theme when he gets into the Batmobile, he repetedly points out ressurrecting Superman could lead to a "Pet Sematery" situation, etc. SolidSnakesBandana posted:Wait wait, they cut trailer scenes?

It's not like Flash knows where it is.

My biggest issue with it was that the fight scenes were slow and sloppy, which apparently was due to main actor learning the choreography on the fly. If your show is gonna be about one of the greatest martial artists in the world, you gotta have good fight scenes. They were better in the Defenders, so hopefully in a theoretical season 2 they would improve on that. The main villain was very fun to watch, but he felt a little squandered which was disappointing.

The fights in all the shows are pretty meh once you see the formula. Heroman starts fight by getting beat up for a little while, just when you think he is finished he bounces back and destroys the other guy like he was nothing. That's almost every fight. Except when Heroman is fighting like 20 guys at once he never gets hit.

Uh his glass of water showed ripples immediately before that, it's obvious he was talking to a T-Rex. Probably the robot T-Rex Batman usually has in the batcave.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:Ok so, in place of straightforward anticapitalism, you are anti-masturbation. You are projecting. Nothing in my observation of how these conflicts are present says that they are a bad thing that must be banned. Rather they are exactly the right thing for maximal masturbatory enjoyment (in the same way as the madonna/whore motif) by a cenrtain audience that is themselves steeped in these contradictions of Protestantism and Liberalism (as Snyder certainly is). To assert that simply by making these observations I am expressing opposition is to presume that there is something intrinsically wrong with either masturbation (not likely) or contradiction (an excusable mistake for a Marxist).

Even Defenders would've been better with a couple less. This is absolutely true. There's not enough meat on them bones to go for 13 episodes. I think only Daredevil S1 justified every episode, and even then I think you could trim it down to 10.

It's really bad in those brief moments where you see Daredevil and Iron Fist fighting in the same shot because Iron First is just sort waving and moving around and his only real move is "I dance in place for a long time and then deliver a straight punch" while Daredevil is doing way more because Charlie Cox actually made the physical commitment and even does some of the stunts. Plus in Daredevil's two seasons he's able to fight for longer because the outfit lets him and a stuntman switch places quickly when he's out of view so you can do stuff like that hallway fight and the other bits where "he's" able to fight for way longer and more intensely in a single scene than we ever see Iron Fist do. Thematically too, like they already spent a season and a half building up Daredevil as the white martial arts guy who is the good guy faction's chosen one to fight The Hand, so this version of Iron Fist is already redundant. They really needed to get someone who could both act and also be very good at doing martial arts fight scenes to make up for that and they clearly gave zero fucks about that.

Iron Fist should have been what Luke Cage sort of tried to be Luke Cage was a kind of throwback to Blaxploitation movies, which is the entire origin of the character in the comics anyways Iron Fist should have been a Kungfuxplotation series from moment one. Again, like the entire origin of the character in the comics. Instead it's about some ultra rich white gently caress who has no perspective on the world and can't fight worth poo poo, but once in a while he can make his hand glow and hit things super hard. The entire final fight of Iron Fist is a joke. I skipped to the last episode and missed nothing and got nothing in return. You'd think you'd save the biggest, most impressive and driven martial arts fight for the ending, but if that was it Whoo boy
