Were there really two failed pilots? I was discussing it on FB and someone mentioned a failed attempt before the Nick Stahl version.

One for Fox and one for Hulu with cancelled movie plans between.

First episode buzzed by some otherwise logical cliffhangers to frantically throw poo poo at the wall for twenty minutes and end on... nothing? This show has terrible pacing so far.

I'm on episode 5 and it's kind of falling apart for me now.

Also Darby Stanchfield is 48 and is 100% believable as the mother of three kids ages 18 and under.

Macys paid for this. Noodle Boy and Bonby are bad at video games and even worse friends.


I don’t watch Black Lightening(which I’m going to fix soon) but I’m curious how it handles all the post crisis merging stuff. Has the show addressed that much?

one of the daughters meets her alternate reality selves and finds out that if she kept on working for the fascist she would *surprise* become a fascist

mainly it just went right back to the pre crossover storyline tho, no major changes

I finished it today and found it enjoyable.

I never read the comic though - someone said it diverged heavily from the source, can someone who did read it give me a quick summary? Spoilers, obviously

According to Daniel Richtman via his Patreon, there is indeed a Secret Invasion style series in the works that will lead directly into Captain Marvel 2. It’s said to involve the Kree and the Skrulls as well as S.W.O.R.D., which will be introduced in WandaVision.

Wouldn't Secret Invasion work entirely against the whole point of Captain Marvel 1 though? Like, the big reveal is that no, comics fans, the joke's on you because Skrulls are good.

Eh it wouldn't be that hard to have a small splinter group that are the baddies, like the kree are finally willing to do peace talks but some skrulls are just so mad about all the genocide that they want to do some back. It would still kind of undercut the message of the first film but not all the way.

That's a great idea. Most of the Kree we've seen have been total dicks.

There were two, one for Fox in 2011 and one for Hulu in 2017. Nick Stahl was in the former.

The Hulu pilot has never been publicly screened anywhere and probably never will be.

S.W.O.R.D. being in Wandavision goes a long way towards explaining why Darcy is there. After all, she was an astronomy student in 2011, she could be a scientist agent by now.

secret invasion, but the government are the bad guys conducting a violent witch hunt for skrull families just trying to live in peace incognito on earth

have the government's poo poo shill heroes like US Agent act as fake patriot avengers vs whoever's in the budget among the regular avengers (who are technically breaking the law to defend the immigrant skrulls), get a little dark reign with it

edit: this would be a juicy plan for introducing hulkling

He wants his character to go full evil and become the Hobgoblin (guess he didn't read all of the Wiki) which means his character dies in a dirty NY hotel room.

I would not consider these "less" necessarily, Brand I would even say is a better role. I just don't want to see her play a random human cop in the 70s.

I didn't hate it but it's not amazing and it's got a lot of teen romance bullshit and barely any of the body and mind horror the comic had.

We watched it with our 10 year old. It was mostly fine for him, but he's watched a fair amount of thrillers/horror. There was a moment where a younger child gets killed by the bad guy that upset him a bit. But you'll have to make the call for your own kid based on what they watch. Common Sense Media says 13/14+. https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/locke-key

It is nowhere near as graphic in any way as the comic. We all liked it. I liked some things better than the books and some things a little less.

Speaking of Netflix, Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is based on a webcomic*, and it's cool and good.
