Bust Rodd posted:Neither of the Guardians films are marketed to kids and a big big draw of the films is for Millenials and boomers to get all the musical references, I doubt that. Star Wars is the kids IP stuff, Marvel is for adults and man-children Have you met a man child? Cause they love Star Wars.

Ok I’ve watched the first 6 episodes of Hit Monkey: ~ No less compelling or entertaining than any Netflix or Disney+ Marvel offering. ~The show is not what I thought it was going to be. I expected Bryce, the human assassin, would be a Diet Archer with his quips and bants, but Seudekis is doing a good job of leveling Both his boyish humor and his deep rooted disappoint and insecurity in himself. Monkey, on the other hand, has one of the most compelling character arcs I’ve seen in a long time. He’s dealing with the conflicting emotions of wanting revenge, but not at the cost of his… animality? (Humanity but for animals?). The ghosts of his tribe shame him for drinking human poison and wearing their clothes, and Monkey’s hoots and Ooks and his eyebrows are workhorses, delivering powerful emotional reads on a character that can’t talk. -It’s laugh out loud funny. Not just the quips, which, hey, Marvel is clever go figure, but also some of the death scenes are high energy body horror that you can’t help but laugh at and the writing is solid and all the characters voices are distinct. Super solid voice acting. I’ll save the rest of my thoughts for after I finish the last 4 episodes but the only other thing I’ll say right now is that my TV queue is like Midnight Mass, Arcane, Cowboy Bebop (live), all the big shows of the season that have big buzz, and I feel like I have to force myself to sit down and watch these shows, even Arcane, which is one of the best cartoons I’ve ever seen, whereas with Hit Monkey I had to stop myself from just watching the whole thing last night. It’s very engaging and the story has great momentum. Also I used to live in Japan and worked with the Yakuza, so the show also brings up a lot of happy memories for me of chilling in a hot tub with old gangsters.

If* Daredevil ever comes to the MCU, he will be played by Charlie Cox, says Feige. * "Where we see that, how we see that, when we see that, remains to be seen." https://www.cinemablend.com/interviews/kevin-feige-confirms-daredevil-casting-in-the-mcu-and-fans-will-be-pumped mcbexx fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Dec 6, 2021 |

Given they apparently offered Jessica Henwick a role in Shang-Chi, I guess they decided that one’s not carrying over. At least it bodes well for my dream of a Cloak and Dagger revival, because Aubrey Joseph & Olivia Holt were great.

I tried watching Cloak and Dagger because I love their comic version. It just felt so tepid and uninspired. Like every Marvel TV property from around that time. Like loving Runaways.

Variety is reporting that Cretton's Marvel Studios Disney+ series is a comedy, which certainly doesn't fit the most obvious Shang-Chi spinoff possibilities, so maybe it's something unrelated, idk https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1467929734281449472

Cretton making a comedy show is itself pretty funny considering that his pre-MCU output was movies about a group home, child abuse and systematic racism. True Marvelization.

Unlike the other poster I can’t vouch for S2, but please do persist with S1 at least. It really finds its stride in the back half and has a stellar finale where it goes all in on… well, I don’t want to spoil it. If you’re a couple of episodes in and wondering why you bothered, go a couple more. Episodes 6-10 are some really good Marvel TV where it all comes together.

The_Doctor posted:I love how pointless it being in KB Toys was. There was no reason for it to be that, the brand being long defunct (and would never had had such a large store). This is from a few days back but apparently it's an Easter egg since KB Toys was indirectly involved with the creation of Marvel Studios. Who knew! https://twitter.com/nerdist/status/1468265011948793858?s=20

KB Toys was a distraction while your parents were in the WaldenBooks next door. Toys R’ Us was a destination. Read all about it in “10 Things Gen Z Kids Will Never Understand!”

KB Toys was great because you could always go in there whenever you had some extra time at the mall. It was a lot harder to convince your parents to take you to the huge standalone Toys R Us. edit: ^^

I still remember my little sister and I being asked to leave a KB Toys because we didn't have our parents with us. Toys R Us didn't care at all though, so we always loved going there.
