Ultimates was a breath of fresh air for the whole property.

Everyone harping on ultimates seems to forget marvel's previously aborted attempt to relaunch their classic books: heroes reborn. The series that gave us liefeld's famous 'refrigerator door chest' captain america. In contrast the ultimate comic series isn't so bad.

Ultimates vol 1 and 2 I remember being pretty good and hell had a decent mystery to it (we even had a thread for it here, Who betrayed the Ultimates?). And then it went to poo poo and then Ultimatum came out and I lost interest in the Ultimate line except for Miles Morales stuff.

All y'all bustin' on the goon for liking the Ultimates when this is far more egregious:Bust Rodd posted:I absolutely loving hate Agnes’s actress in everything. She’s just been so front in center in so many shows I’ve watched and there’s just something about her energy//vibe that I just cannot gently caress with, so I was supremely disappointed that she ended up being so important to the plot.

I don’t think she is like a bad actress or anything, I just mean I literally hate every single character she plays and this was no exception. I figured she was included because she’s been a bit part character actress in every TV show for the last 30 years, I never thought they’d make her a big villain.

nthing "the ultimates was good at the time". i liked when Steve visits Bucky & Gail and realizes how much a man out of time he is and what he missed out on, which certainly is a foundation for what he did in Endgame. it also sowed the seeds for bro-energy Thor and literally calling for casting Samuel Jackson as Nick Fury so it was definitely influential on the MCU.

Its strange, because I saw a lot of people hyped about her appearance, but this was the first thing I am ever cognizant of seeing her in. I guess I just haven't watched her past shows.

No Discourse (tm) about the Ultimates, and particularly Mark Millar, would be complete without bringing up this apex moment of comic book Mark Millaration. You all know what it is. Wonder why this never got ported to the MCU

This is just from memory, but I'm not sure if she's ever been the lead in a show or movie. I think her biggest role was one of her earliest, the receptionist for the medical examiner's office in Crossing Jordan. But that character is almost the complete opposite of what she gets typecast as now. She was more reserved and shy, so it's interesting that now she always seems to play the larger-than-like, boisterous character.

ONE YEAR LATER posted:This always seemed ultra out of character for a guy who fought in WW2 and probably worked with french resistance fighters to take back Paris. That's Mark Millar for you. It was also peak post 9/11, a time of rah rah jingoism, USA #1, and Freedom Fries. The 'regular/616' version of Captain America, on the other hand, had this:  Edit: Aww crap, double post, thought I was editing my previous one.

She is a terrible singer though. She is just flat, so flat all the time, and doesn't even look good singing. Can't believe thats what $1200 a week in voice lessons get you.

also if I'm being totally honest, she looked loving ridiculousness as a floating purple ursala witch. Both Visions and Wanda looked much more natural floating in the air (wire harness practice?) but I was just completely taken out of the spectacle of the anime style DBZ fights because she seriously looked like a frowny face stormcloud that you'd give a child for bad attendance.

It was weird seeing her on that hollywood reporter's round table with Glenn Close, Rachel Weiss and poo poo but beyond that she seems to have a nice confident energy that's cool to see, I don't understand the hate.

Putting aside the obvious aspect, the thing I did enjoy in Ultimates is that it has done of the best laid out action scenes I’ve ever seen in a comic. every characters position, movements are all established really clear like it’s a storyboard for a movie (I think millar does literally see himself as writing comics with the expectation they’re movie pitches), it’s especially obvious in 3 when Millars out, Loeb is writing and suddenly characters are just suddenly appearing out of nowhere and blasting each other.

Millar doesn't just see himself as doing that, he does do that. His Millarworld line was specifically created to give him maximum control over movie options. But the layout on Ultimates is all Bryan Hitch, who specialises in a cinematic style. The combination of the two is what makes Ultimates work, even when it really shouldn't have.

There was a launch event for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and it included two new clips at the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxifB--QfR4&t=1388s If the timestamp doesn't work, skip to 23:08. First clip is Bucky having a flashback to his murder days, which looked very cool, second one is Sam on a mission.

I know it's been said before, but I love that the point of continuity between Steve-Cap and Sam-Cap is their lack of giving a gently caress about jumping out of planes.
