Mameluke posted:Was she filming something else? Valkyrie just fucks off back to her home planet like Kingo She's apparently a producer as well as acting in a film called The Listener going off her Wikipedia page, and filming for Creed III may have overlapped with it too, since that's in post production now by the sounds of the Wikipedia page. I've no idea whether either of those things actually did impact on Thor: Love & Thunder for her, but they're the only recent things listed for roughly the same timeline.

Honestly, if you don't need to literal backstory to every single infinity stone, then you could just watch Guardians, Civil War, and Black Panther and you would have no problem with 95% of the main story.

Iman Vellani had a short interview with Seth Meyers that continues making her look adorable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kolt1ayThP4 She talks about how awkward her first meeting with Kevin Feige was, hiding the fact she got the part from her friends for ages and arguing anonymously with strangers on Reddit about Marvel stuff while being unable to really go in on it because she has some knowledge of upcoming stuff. Oh, and the fact she cut a stop motion video of her toys after getting the part to send to Kevin Feige; who changed the titles for Ms. Marvel because he liked it

Valkyrie isn't in the final fight because the root of the film is Thor and Jane's relationship and the story it's telling is about them overcoming their conflict together

A few works like The Dresden Files and Rick Riordan's YA mythological series have done that. A supernatural figure like a god who has multiple cultural forms is different aspects of a single being, which is liable to change physical appearance and possibly memories along with personality.

There's also a slice of life manga called Saint Young Men about Jesus and Buddha as room-mates, going around doing everyday things as they try to get a feel for modern life and diminishing religious observation. I haven't read it ages, and there's been more translated in the meantime, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a page or two of them playing dominoes (well, probably mahjong or shogi or something instead) while arguing about minor things, because it's the kind of thing that manga indulges in and is really about. tsob fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Jul 27, 2022 |

For all we know Vision is a Muslim (kidding, but technically we've never seen him eat pork or drink alcohol onscreen), but Ms. Marvel is the first time we've specifically had the main, title-of-the-movie/show character be a Muslim.

Darth Brooks posted:She-Hulk looks fun. I don't know about radical change in whatever, but it should be fun. I mean, if they do actually lean into making it a proper mash up of "lawyer procedurals" and "superheroes" then it could be revolutionary, at least for Marvel, because it'd be a show where it isn't all about saving the world by punching a bad guy, where the tension doesn't have to come from the villain threatening to destroy something (usually the world or reality itself) etc. I'm sure there will be bad guy punching in it, but if this is what they're setting it up as (it probably won't be; at least not as much as people want) then the bad guy punching will be secondary, and She-Hulk will settle things more with lawyering than punching and be happy to focus on saving the world that way; even if she has to punch people occasionally. She can even be primarily a super strong "punch good" hero in crossover stuff, where the lawyering is a secondary joke, so long as the lawyering is more of her focus in her own show.

Hopefully they can keep it up through the entire series. Wandavision started out with a weird but intriguing series of genre bends, and I was a little disappointed that the show ended with heroes and villains flying through the sky shooting energy blasts at each other

They aren't going to lean into an accurate procedural. There's so many things in just the trailer that would get her disbarred or lose the case. Ethically, she can't even defend someone who attempted to kill her family member and the prosecution would get a different attorney assigned because Blonsky would have a very obvious deficient counsel claim if they convicted him. The non-funny and 99% likely answer is: Rarity posted:Feeling it's a safe bet that She-Hulk is a law show like Winter Soldier is a spy thriller and Ant-Man is a heist movie

You say that like law procedurals don't ignore the actual specifics of the law where it suits them in order to make for better TV all the time.

tsob posted:It had a lot of the same style of humor, but it wasn't as well executed in most people's opinion. Which I'd agree with, even as someone who enjoyed the movie more than most people seemed to; at least here, anyway. It's generally not as good as Ragnarok full stop. It's still good, and I think the movie did a fine job of intercutting humor with some serious stuff, where a lot of people found them clashing and neither served well. There's a good bit of Guns n' Roses in the movie as a backdrop to action too. If anything, it gets a bit repetitive, because it's always Guns n' Roses, rather than being a medley of various 80s metal music or something. I don't know that it's a whole lot sillier or worse than Ragnarok. Both are very silly movies that just try to have fun with psychedelic viking himbo. It's an extremely silly movie, but a fun watch. I felt the same about Ragnarok

It's always surprising when Ragnarok pops up on TNT or whatever to be reminded how little Cate Blanchett is both in the movie and how little she really ties into the story. There's a pretty hard divide between the fun Sakaar stuff and Hela's generic plan to raise a zombie army and take over the galaxy.

Fun Ghost Rider reference in the new She-Hulk feature. I doubt that is going anywhere, but when Wong is in the theater, the poster for the act says "Johnny Blaze" and has a man on fire. The weird bat things from Shang-Chi also seem to be a part of the story? Even, though I thought they were all dead/sealed.

I hadn't thought about it but all the shows either have duos (Wandavision, FAWS, Loki, Hawkeye, Moon Knight) or prominent best friends (Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk).
