"No major plot points would change" except for the part where Konshu remains imprisoned and so Spector/Grant never gets their powers back and therefore Harrow wins. I mean this is 100% Layla, there's no way to write around "Marc's dead and somebody who cares about him has to free Konshu". I'm assuming these are the same galaxy brains who say "Indiana Jones didn't accomplish anything in Raiders of the Lost Ark". ruddiger posted:Why do those hot takes always come from the token "I have a beard to hide my underdeveloped facial features" guys?

I mean this is 100% Layla, there's no way to write around "Marc's dead and somebody who cares about him has to free Konshu". Oh, it's an incredibly stupid "point" to make. Your example is a good one, but also, her character provides her own plot points, as to how she relates to Marc. The Marc/Layla/Steven dynamic is a pretty big part of the show. The original tweeter missing that point is...honestly, not surprising, but still depressing. Megaman's Jockstrap posted:Beards are makeup for men and I say that as somebody with a beard. As another person with a beard, I completely agree. It's our attempt to pretty up our faces in a "socially acceptable" way. Except that I'd like to add that my daughter has added makeup to my face and sparkles to my beard, and I look god drat amazing with both. Just saying.

I love pickles, but live in a country that doesn't even recognise pickles as existing. So from the sound of it, I live in this thread's idea of either heaven or hell, depending. 1. Wandavision 2. Loki 3. Moon Knight ^ These are the only MCU+ shows that I really go into, in roughly that order of get-into-ness. All three had me wildly discussing theories with my friends and salivating for the next episode, even when some of those episodes weren't always so hot. 4. Hawkeye 5. What If ^ There were some bits I liked in both of these shows, but overall they disappointed me and I kinda want my hours back. 6. F&WS ^ Plenty of good ideas on paper, but they were realised so mediocrely that one almost feels insulted by it. What a waste. Definitely want my hours back for this one. Get on it, Strange.

live with fruit posted:Agents of SHIELD doesn't count. Canon is an illusion. And no, the other things are not related. They're just other aspects of his identity people have commented upon or connected to. I find Oscar Isaac's career interesting, because he apparently looks to casting directors like just about anyone and anything. He's Cuban/Guatemalan of French extraction raised in the US; he has previously played Armenian, French, Egyptian, Roman, and Greek roles in addition to plenty of non-specific Americans and a handful of characters from all parts of Latin America. I'm thrilled with this, if it's unclear. Oscar Isaac's just charismatic as hell. Getting 3 different Oscar Isaacs at once was wonderful.

Strange spoilers do not loving read if you want any surprises I'm Sorry Wanda friends, it seems like they doubled down on "bitches be crazy" like we saw in WandaVision. It's not the loss of Vision that drives her, but the loss of her kids and the corruption of the Darkhold. Look at her fingers and remember how Agatha looked while she was under the influence of the Darkhold. Wanda is powerful as gently caress though, tearing through every obstacle in her way and, hey, she's NEVER sexualized. She's framed as powerful and terrifying and a force to be reckoned with and I LOVED IT! Also, if you think she died at the end, come on, it's a comic book movie, you saw no body, but you did see an xplosion her her energy signature. She went out a hero sacrificing herself and I'm sure she'll turn up further down the road, with a lower power level and wanting to make ammends for the trouble she caused. America Chavez is more of a plot device than a character, but you see that she has heart. I hope we get a chance to actually focus on her at some point, because we get to see how resourceful she is. The Illuminati is GREAT. I was messenging people during the credits, so I didn't get to see who was playing Reed. Is it the guy from the Office who loves the CIA? Who was playing Blackbolt, was it the guy from the terrible inhumans series i never watched? But seeing Maria Rambeau as Captian Marvel and Haley Atwell as Captain Britain was great! And then the musical cue from the animated series when Patrick Stewert comes rolling in the 90's hover chair!?!??!?!? I'm not joking, I cried. Then to top it all off you end with Zombie Strange and his cloak of damned souls fighting Wanda and my god was the the coolest loving thing I have ever seen. THen you finish it off with loving Clea played by Charlize Theron?! GOd drat, I cannot wait to see this agian.

Soonmot posted:Strange spoilers do not loving read if you want any surprises Doctor Strange chat: Yep, Reed is John Krasinski and Black Bolt is the guy from the Inhumans show. Put me down as really liking that they didn't pull Wanda back. She BISECTED Peggy. I disagree that it's a "bitches be crazy" so much as it's "bitches be grieving" - Wanda needs a therapist real bad. Moon Knight and overall MCU chat: It might not always work, but I enjoy that the MCU is allowing itself to get weird and push boundaries. Hate pickles, rating is as follows: 1. WandaVision 2. Loki 3. Moon Knight 4. Hawkeye 5. What If? 6. FATWS Sorry, FATWS had some good moments but What If has actual episodes I can recall. Even if one of them is Party Thor.

I was liking Moon Knight A LOT until the finale loving went speed run mode. Everything felt so rushed, why do they insist on forcing these shows to adhere to a strict six episode format? They could have easily split this into two episodes (Leyla sneaking around trying to free Marc could’ve easily stretched into a whole episode imo). Also absolutely criminal that they completely skipped Jake’s fight with Harrow. I mean, I get it because of “the mystery” and all, but we got enough hints leading up to it, and then the reveal in the stinger anyways.

Weird question, did Mark actually need Konshu to come back to life? It seemed like he basically did it himself. The Konshu powers did get the bullets out, sure, but all the getting out of the reeds and sands and getting through the gates of the afterlife was all Marc. Second series is going to be Steven/Mark running around with a moon knight suit, without any powers.

Mark came back to life himself but he was powerless without Khonshu. Its not clear if he wouldn't have died again without the healing powers of the suit. But he certainly couldn't have matched avatar powers Harrow without Khonshu.

Also, non-spoilery thing about Multiverse of Madness relevant to this thread. The movie straight-up expects you to have seen Wandavision in a way that no other MCU film save Endgame has expected you to have seen a previous film. I expect a lot of people who casually follow the films but didn't get D+ will be pretty lost.

I do like me some pickles. My MCU TV show rankings is as follow. 1. Wandavision - Overall solid, got 10 episodes so the show had some time to breath. Having a typical MCU fight at the end was pretty disappointing but not disappointing enough to ruin the show. 2. Loki - Great premise and I liked the execution. The big downside with this show is the big downside most MCU shows share i.e. the 6 episode season count, it makes the whole thing feel rushed and nothing gets time breath. 3. Hawkeye - Kate Bishop was great and so was the Kate and Yelena interactions. I didn't mind Renner's Hawkeye that much and overall it felt like a nice ending to that characters story even if he will probably show up again eventually. 4. Moon Knight - I liked the premise and the first episode, but after that episode the story barely progress at all until the end of episode 4. The last two episodes were pretty solid again but the finale felt a little rushed and could have used at least 10 min longer run time. 5. Falcon & the Winter Soldier - Not much worth to be found here, boring and with weird pacing. The only thing of worth to be found here is anytime Zemo is on screen and that is enough to put it slightly ahead of.. 6. What if - Disappointing mostly. You could have done so much fun stuff with the concept, all the while I was mostly just bored watching this.

Doctor Strange sure is a Sam Raimi movie. And by that, I mean it has a Bruce Campbell cameo. Also, looks like the “Wanda’s grief causes the XMU to collide in” theory still has some legs. Also, the LGBT representation is still a bit “we can cut this out if you want, oh mighty censor board”. America Chavez isn’t explicitly gay (but she wears a pride pin on her jacket), and her two moms are only in one scene.

Codependent Poster posted:Pretty sure if you're a master of the mystic arts you have a lot of ways to magically gain some cash. Dr. Strange's first comic appearance has him being hired by a guy that is having terrible nightmares. Bet there's a market niche for the (former) Sorcerer Supreme to show up at some rich guy's house, wave his hands around and declare the building is ghost free, that'll be a cool 10 thousand bucks. Maybe once he meets Blade and Moon Knight they'll team-up to offer Vampire and Werewolf protection for a yearly sum.
