Blue Moonlight posted:I’m enjoying it, but I suspect it’ll end up suffering the same fate as Marvel’s other MCU-adjacent TV series - it’ll be supplementary, and thus inconsequential. It's directly tied to the Dr. Strange sequel and is supposed to help set it up. The D+ Marvel shows are definitely not just going to be supplemental and Marvel's made that pretty clear at this point. Part of why Falcon and Winter Soldier hasn't aired yet is apparently because it's tied into the eternally delayed Black Widow movie and a major character from that is a part of the series.

i'll agree that a lot of rap is bad although rap is one of my favorite genres of music i don't like rap that focuses on "clever" turns of phrases or lyrics in general, the lyrics should just sound good with the background melody and convey a strong sense of mood or emotion

I'm super into recycling, so I'm a big fan of rap because they've been using the same TR-808 loops for decades.

Vandar posted:It's directly tied to the Dr. Strange sequel and is supposed to help set it up. The D+ Marvel shows are definitely not just going to be supplemental and Marvel's made that pretty clear at this point. I’m pretty skeptical that Feige will release a film to the theaters that requires you to watch five hours of a show featuring the least developed Avengers characters in order to make sense. My guess is that it just tees up Wanda as being someone who can manipulate the multiverse, and after two minutes of exposition in his movie, Strange is either tasked with reining her in or teaming up with her. In short, the show will be enriching, but not required viewing. But I’m hoping I’m wrong, and you’re right. MCU-adjacent ventures suffered from having to play on the fringes. Vandar posted:Part of why Falcon and Winter Soldier hasn't aired yet is apparently because it's tied into the eternally delayed Black Widow movie and a major character from that is a part of the series. Now this I totally buy, because they don’t want to spoil their movie. Though my potentially unpopular opinion there is that they should just cut their losses and do a Mulan-style release for it.

It's not that hard to watch one new movie every few months. So far there's been like...twenty-three movies spread out over 10ish years, that doesn't seem hard to keep up with at.

The thing I don't get about things like wandavision is they are trying to make mostly irrelevant characters a thing. Yeah they're part of the avengers and can do some stuff, but they're mostly background to the overpowered ones like thor and dr strange etc. Like guardians of the galaxy I enjoyed, but at the end of the day they're just some aliens with guns, just like captain america and spiderman and ironman are just juiced up regular humans with technology but they don't really do much. If all you had was thor and strange and the hulk I don't think any of the events in the movies would have changed. I guess vision is kind of powerful but most of what I remember from the movies is him just being kind of annoying and whiny most of the time.

It is 100% bad and getting worse with the one exception of Legion season 1 which I guess is not really a part of the MCU So there's no need for anyone to keep up with any of it is what I'm saying. If only more people were turned off by the whole thing

Scarlet witch is op as gently caress. Honestly the idea of a sitcom playing off the traditional fifties model with reality getting warped around it sounds interesting, but it's tied into the MCU which is quite possibly one of the dullest collection of movies ever created.

You can keep up via memes, very little of any importance happens in any of the movies, by design. The "marvel universe" idea is there to sell more tickets and subscriptions to people who identify as fans.

Remember in avengers endgame where scarlet witch just freezes Thanos and then was about to rip him apart while he was totally powerless? Why doesn’t she just do that every time to everyone?

Disco Pope posted:Yeah, I really stretched my literary horizons getting through Tom Bombadil and wanking about how pretty not-Yorkshire is. Tolkien can write, but mistaking it for particularly literary is only a short-leap from those nerds who think parsing Lovecrafts paid-by-the-word adjective soup makes them smart. Like Lovecraft, I think its okay to enjoy adaptations more than the source with LotR. And also Dune. Gandalf the White is literally Pickle Rick. That's why we of low IQ don't "get" it.
