X-O posted:You try having that conversation with the non-readers that can't even grasp the simple concepts of timeline fuckery yet. We have to ease them into multiversal upheaval. Like I said in the TVIV thread once you've been through 10 or so of these its easier to quickly grasp the concepts. They just watched a show that featured an alligator version of the main character. They'll get it.

I don't think we're getting Majors playing Reed, but I do think there's a solid chance Watts casts a Black actor to play at least one of the FF, and Reed seems a solid choice (It also avoid the bizarre hoop jumping they did by casting Kate Mara and MBJ as siblings instead of just - no offence to Mara - casting a Black actress as Sue)

RealFoxy posted:They were on the right track with MBJ sure but I'm pretty sure that movie was just so they could retain the rights to F4 movies and bleed Marvel/Disney out of money down the road. Didn't matter who was cast as any roll. That's probably why they financed an F4 movie at that moment in time, but if Fox really didn't care about the movie beyond that they wouldn't have hosed over the director so much.

I don't know why I keep watching Flash, I guess it's sunken cost fallacy and all. But this season.... It's really, really extra bad right? This last episode seemed like a drat Power Rangers episode.

Titans s3 trailer Very Batverse-oriented. But hey this show always does manage to show up with The Vibes. (though not the actual Vibe 'cuz. He's somewhere else)

Where WandaVision and Loki did not but I still liked it. I did have to laugh when a friend complained that the flying squirrel suits in the first episode don't really work like that, you know the ones worn by the bad guys being chased by our hero wearing wings.

No, those are real things, my friend's complaint was they work differently in real life and you wouldn't be able to do what those guys did. Like that fight in the Rami Spider-Man 2 that happens on top of train and looks awesome but violates a bunch of laws of physics having to do with momentum while already moving.

The next phase of Marvel seems like they're doing something for everyone. FatWS and Black Widow was the stuff my parents liked, they didn't like Wanda-Vision or Loki as much. For people who like the James Bond spy stuff there's a niche in Marvel for them, for people who like space exploration/cosmic stuff, there's a niche for you, and for people who like time travel/multiverse there's stuff for you.

Yeah, I think the bigger this gets with the shows the more its gonna be "maybe not all of this is for me, I don't care about this Secret Invasion Skrull story but I really like this Armor Wars thing." Like I said earlier, a bigger more traditional comic world of stories instead of one Infinity Saga.

One thing I'm not seeing much speculation on, but I saw Renlayer's last line as pretty ominous. Two of them, really. "The only person who has free will is the one in charge" and saying she's off to "Find some free will" seems pretty much like saying she's gonna do some conquering of her own. Maybe Immortus clued her into some stuff as a backup plan? He did send Miss Minutes to her with info other than what she asked for.

One of my friends just pointed out to me that as of the final episode of Loki that it feels like he's going to be the Nick Fury of the next phase, trying to get everyone together and prepare them for this massive threat that they're not even aware of and honestly that's a really loving cool thing to do with him.

Historically, in the comics, Loki creating a problem has been a main factor in Avengers teams forming.

He also is the reason the MCU Avengers came together so it would be fitting for him to factor into the New Avengers or Defenders or something*. *My personal pet theory is we're gonna get a Cap led Earth based New Avengers, Strange led Multiverse focused Defenders, and Secret Invasion/Space focused Carol lead Ultimates. Plus Young Avengers and Thunderbolts. Then Fantastic Four and massive teamup. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 04:15 on Jul 15, 2021 |

Loki was good but I'm honestly kind of disappointed that Miss Minutes wasn't the big bad. I know that that would be completely ridiculous, maybe Legends of Tomorrow has trained me to expect nothing but ridiculous in time travel, but give me Loki and Sylvie fighting a big goofy clock.

I haven't watched it but every trailer for Titans makes the show look more and more terrible. And cheaper. It looks like low budget CW in most of the trailers. That's not a good look.

Aside from the 3 or 4 episodes a season they let the stunt team go loving hog wild on Arrow, the action sequences tended to be better on Titans than most CW shows.
