Speaking of Captain Carter, a Captain Carter project is rumored to be in development. I assume it'll be a TV show.

Really excellent little peak into what’s been going on with the CG in these Disney shows, if you’re not following Defector media please reconsider https://twitter.com/defectormedia/status/1527006861395996673?s=21&t=Uex47eb8CsKyynW2qMw4dA “Drew Magary of Defector” posted:Last week, I wrote a story about the current state of special effects in Hollywood and how they have become, as New York Times columnist Kyle Buchanan told me, “oversaturated and lovely.” I chalked the problem up to a combination of economics, creativity, internal studio politics, and the taste of both studios and the audience. But because I don’t work in Hollywood, and because no VFX supervisors would speak to me for that post, I wasn’t really able to get at the problem from the inside.

It definitely feels like Marvel shows are just movies cut up into six hour-long parts but so do most shows these days.

Rarity posted:Muscly women are threatening to fragile masculinity Yeah, but as a fan of beefy ladies, She-Hulk has usually been a tall greenskinned model, so this isn't off brand. I do hope they do a full hulk transformation though.

I want an MCU show called Wong that is just him doing karaoke and drinking across the multiverse with various characters. Final episode is Wong and the Watcher just doing shots and saying "how hosed up was that?" for 20 minutes over and over.

Also one episode is just him, Ali Wong, and BD Wong going on a low stakes adventure.

One of the best parts of Shang-Chi is they recognize the power of bonding over karaoke. drat, I should watch that again.

Just watched Strange and I was not expecting Black Bolt to P'Li himself after his mouth got taken away. Also those fuckin idiots thought they could contain the Scarlet Witch. Absolute madness.

Absolute madness. At its core Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is a horror movie. The Illuminati are basically cops. Think about what almost always happens to cops in a horror movie.

Making the first Doctor Strange, they knew "inscrutable Asian mystic" was a problematic trope. The Ancient One was made non-Asian (poorly thought out), but for Wong they just made him incredibly scrutable. He's the most relatable character in the MCU since Phil Coulson stopped coming back to life.

Coulson in the time loop episode of the final season of Agents of SHIELD is the most relatable character in any Marvel property.

I’m just glad they loopholed Strange into not being the Sorcerer Supreme, and I’m going to be immensely sad when he inevitably gains the mantle.

I think the ending was kind of showing Strange finally accepting Wong as Supreme so anything happening to Wong would just be wrong.

Literally Steven’s only character development in MoM is learning to respect Wong as the Sorcerer Supreme, it’s like the one thing he does for someone in his own life. The reconciliation he has with his Ex isn’t even his version of Christine, that Christine thinks of Steven as a showboating rear end in a top hat who made her wedding all about him. Taking that away would basically make all of MoM completely superfluous

It's kind of funny that Spider Man and Doctor Strange were released in the opposite intended order, because Wong being Sorcerer Supreme was kind of a joke in Spider Man, but a pretty strong piece of characterization for Wong and Strange in Doctor Strange, and that works as a way of exploring that concept. First it's an unexpected gag, and then it makes total sense and is good character development. It's also just a good dynamic. Strange can be a loose cannon who doesn't play by the rules, and Wong can be tired of his poo poo, but at the end of the day they're friends who respect each other. That works better if Wong has the institutional authority, while Strange is just really powerful but doing his own thing.

tsob posted:Is there any way for him to gain it without Wong dying? In the comics there is a great magical test that happens every century to determine the Sorcerer Supreme, so you could theoretically lose it by being beaten without dying. Also the title itself is conferred by the Vishanti, who can strip it away if angered. Also, it's just the Sorcerer Supreme of the main dimensional plane of Earth; other planets and dimensions have their own sorcerers supreme. Magik, the X-man, is Sorceress Supreme of Limbo (ie, Marvel's turbo-hell), Clea, the character from the post-credits sequence of MoM was Sorceress Supreme for the Dark Dimension, etc.

Bust Rodd posted:Literally Steven’s only character development in MoM is learning to respect Wong as the Sorcerer Supreme No, it isn't. He learned to let someone else hold the knife, after we the audience see what a Steven who thinks that way does (i.e. kill America to absorb her power), Wong urging him to kill America to take her power as America says she's okay with it (for some reason), Steven himself being criticized for always being the one who has to hold the knife several times by various Christines and the film directly telling AND showing him the outcome of that mindset via the Illuminati and the universe destroyed by an incursion because a Strange felt he had to be the one making the call. A thing he was questioned about at the very start of the film to boot. The ending is Steven letting America hold the knife, and instead supporting and believing in her because he knows he can't win, and he has to help someone and trust they can instead. The reason he bows to Wong is specifically because he has learned to stand back and respect other's abilities for real. Not because he learned to respect Wong during the film, a character who he barely spends time with for most of the film, and has no major interactions with in which he could learn that anyway. tsob fucked around with this message at 16:45 on May 19, 2022 |

Doesn't he give Peter a lot of responsibility in No Way Home? Isn't that letting him hold the knife?

I would assume the difference is that ultimately all he was asking Peter to do there was catch some fairly minor criminals, which seems almost beneath Strange the way he acts. Not a responsibility on which the fate of the entirety of reality depends.

He specifically goes to stop Peter, and gets owned, when he is let out in the third act he is the one who ends up closing the rift and keeping others at bay, the far more important and dangerous problem, while Peter resolved his personal fight.

It's not like Peter could have closed the rip. Also, when America goes through universes, she falls out of the star. The rip Strange sealed was in the sky. Would all of those people had plummeted into the water?
