Season 1 was great except for one episode that was mostly a clip-show of earlier episodes. Cavill and the actress for Yennefer have good chemistry and both give solid performances that fit the characters

scrotum armor sucked because it looks (and probably is) cheap plastic used for 3d printing.

it is a bit generic elf-dragon knight looking thing and could be a little better but scrotal marshmellow man armor was really bad

the hawkeye show continues to be shockingly okay. its taking inspiration from the best hawkeye run there ever was, but the show is just a fun action romp. jeremy renner may be a shitbag but the man can develop a rapport with basically anyone onscreen and it works really well here

one thing that stuck out to me tho. echo in the show is a native american deaf amputee played by an actual native american deaf amputee. and i just found out she's getting her own spinoff show too. this is the actress' first role. that seems... weird to me. lotta cash thrown at a total unproven and unknown actress, seemingly entirely banking off of her checking a bunch of boxes. i'm not knocking her, she did a good job in the episode, no complaints there, but it just seems weird

It's because Disney can get away without paying unknown actors streaming royalties in case they become big marvel stars. They're doing the same thing with Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel thing. It's a big reason why they canceled all the Netflix shows that had actors with some notability and started getting a popular following. Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Jessica Jones made many of the leads too popular, so by season two and three they had started negotiating royalties that netflix were fine with paying.

then the rights went to marvel and they were like nah we'll recast you in 7 years, so now echo is gonna be the new disabled hero and probably daredevil stand in until then.

this is tangentially related but: compare the Charlie's Angels movie from 2000 to the one that came out in 2019 (yes a Charlie's Angels movie came out in 2019).

used to be if you were doing a reboot of an old property, you'd load it up with star power. now they've gotta dilute it, there's not enough to go around to waste three A-listers on a Charlie's Angels. You get one Kristen Stewart and two nobodies. And don't you even THINK you're getting a Bill Murray supporting role, you greedy gently caress!

i think he's a relatively normal dude for someone who's been in Hollywood since he was a kid.

unlike a guy like Middleditch who seemingly showed up in Hollywood as an adult and went insane.

well i got THAT but i didnt get why the crowd shots were identical, all the details in the dialogue about different people in town, etc. it went from 'ok here's the horrible local people we already know interacting with others' to 'are these people even real'

streaming services like Apple and Amazon doing a bunch of cult SFF series (foundation, WOT, the boys, and supposedly one on the culture books) kinda underscores how a lot of media decisions are driven by the proclivities of execs. i'd bet there are a bunch of 40-50yo techbro execs that are pushing to see their childhood reads on the TV

i guess the other extreme example would be how porn streaming went all into incest porn because of one owner's fetish
