Cool. It's absurd that the annoying thing that fans clamored about for years is not only actually happening, but happening with an excellent creative team. Hopefully casting is equally great. The movie will be hard to beat in many aspects, but especially in that regard.

Sup fellas I haven’t read the thread at all but I just saw Thor Ragnarok and the newer Spider-Man movie and let me just say they were both good. Especially Thor. drat what a fun cartoon that was. I think they crammed maybe too many jokes in there, but most at least made me smile. I bet Kate blanchet was a little annoyed because she was in a totally different movie than the rest of the cast. Hulk was great, banner was alright. Valkyrie was great. I’ll probably buy it on iTunes and watch it again with deleted scenes and features and stuff.

And that's in large part due to several of the character's key scenes not being in the movie. The Orville posted:It’s a really good series. Sorry about your taste. They're a really good idea for a series that has really not reached its potential. Like, a completely mediocre writer and director came up with a fantastic idea.

Yeah, I mostly meant Patrick Wilson, Billy Crudup, and Jackie Earle Haley as the terrific performances. Goode made a couple of poor choices, while Akerman wasn't the sort of naturalistic performer who could play well off of Wilson. She and Goode were both miscast to begin with. Gugino was super broad as the elderly version of the character but fantastic as the younger. Frewer was fantastic, same with McHattie.Gorn Myson posted:Its actually better than that, because the creative team is headed up by another nerd hate figure, Damon Lindelof. Yeah it's gonna be dope

I think Akira would make a great live-action series in the right hands. Like on HBO or Netflix. 5 short seasons, based on the 6 volumes of the manga (Volume 1-2 go together too much, and Akira waking up is way too good a first season cliffhanger).

Thor Ragnarok was a handful of funny scenes that occasionally interacted with a plot. There was nothing of note aside from the rock guy voiced by the director. And that was still done better as a Youtube video.

I also just realised that the Punisher TV show had a lower body count than the 2008 movie and the 1989 movie. Is it weird that that kills a lot of my interest in it? I mean, surely there's other reasons to watch Netflix's 'the Punisher' aside from watching how they kill people. Snowman_McK fucked around with this message at 07:15 on Jan 31, 2018 |

And I doubt a comic book TV show is going to hit the 'quality over quantity' ratio I'm after.

If you're a fan of the character then you owe it to yourself to check out the show, it's the best screen version I've seen yet. Go watch some Frank Castle highlights from the second Netflix Daredevil series if you haven't already seen it to gauge if you dig this version or not. The prison fight scene is probably as good a scene as any to start with.

TetsuoTW posted:actually i think i agree with you, i just also think the the plot is almost universally among the weakest parts of any marvel movie so the less they care about that poo poo the better It's always more or less the same film, but with different window dressing. This time we got 'dry kiwi humour' and 'some gladiator poo poo' as a window dressing. And it was fine. They're all fine. They're never quite bad, but also never brilliant. Fly Molo posted:Uh, okay. Maybe go watch a war movie or something if kills-per-minute is your main viewing criteria? It isn't. The punisher just isn't very good.

Yeah it's pretty great, it's just really slow and it's not going to be for people that want to see the Punisher be the Punisher.

She wasn't in Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, or Iron Fist. She was in Defenders because that had everyone, and Punisher because she was the one most connected to him through the whole Punisher plot in Daredevil. She's been in less shows than Turk Barrett with 4 and Claire Temple with 5 NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 15:01 on Jan 31, 2018 |
