The drunken master fight was actually great and made it seem like they accidentally edited it a fight scene from a different show. I actually really liked the performances for the Meachums. David Wenham has a great voice and his wild monologues abusing his assistant/Ward were amazing.

Jessica Henwick ruled and the second season is much better because they rightfully decided Colleen was much better to follow.

They also acknowledged that Finn Jones was rushed into the role and not really able to carry the fighting side of it. That doesn’t particularly bother me because I’m not a movie fighting connoisseur but obviously part of the problem was the show drew a lot of people who very understandably wanted a martial arts action show and Finn and the Meachums clearly weren’t it. Jessica Henwick was much better equipped for that and they definitely adjusted towards her for S2 as well as the Misty/Luke Heroes for Hire/Daughters of the Dragon stuff. I still really enjoy that in a field of cocky arrogant great men and perfect godly Ubermen Finn Jones’ Danny Rand is just a well meaning but insecure goober who is probably not the best man for the job. But I went in with no expectations for Danny, Iron Fist, or the show. I also really enjoy the dynamic in Defenders where Danny is the faithful soldier Stick always wanted Matt to be but Matt is the fierce warrior Danny has failed the Iron Fist to be. Also that he annoys the poo poo out of Jessica Jones. Also that Luke can’t help but respond to his sincerity even if he wants to roll his eyes at him. I like so much of the character stuff in Defenders. Just shame about the story. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Jul 18, 2023 |

Season 3 of JJ is pretty decent and takes some interesting swings, but it is noticeably worse than season 1. Both are worth watching, but especially Punisher.

I stopped at like episode 6 of Iron Fist and never looked back. It was a slog just to get to that point. I guess that means it held my attention longer than Agents of SHIELD, which I made it 4 episode into

Bernthal’s Punisher actually shocks me how much I accept him considering how distasteful I find the Punisher to be. They walk the line between deranged psycho, traumatized brain mush, and conspiracy victim well.

I liked Punisher season 2 well enough, but it felt like a lot of it was retreading ground covered by season 1 and then both storylines kind of petered out in the last episode.

Punisher is great throughout but I haven't seen JJ season 3 either. I did like Eternals, though it's definitely got its flaws. I think the biggest problem is it was probably the worst offended for setting stuff up that we won't see again for possibly over a decade. Kit Harrington is going to be in his 60s before Black Knight is on screen, it just very much felt like a kitchen sink movie

Punisher Season 2 is great because the psychopathic murderer hero now has a kid sidekick and is fighting an evil baptist who is loving brutal. Punisher Season 2 is bad because everything they did with Billy Russo.

This is probably #7,148 on the "weird things about The Flash" list, but do they actually kill one of the Kryptonians from Man of Steel with a small explosive? https://twitter.com/SteelSandRun/status/1681595145190535168

I suppose it's possible since they weren't completely invulnerable yet due to not being exposed to the yellow sun that long. That's one reason Superman can fight them off, since he's been there longer, it's made him more powerful

Superman had the raw power but they had the technique, tactics, and numbers so it was basically a race against the clock to defeat them before they developed unbreakable necks.

So it's possible that they could be killed by something like that. Like Lobok said, Superman only had a chance due to his power. The longer the others were exposed to the sun, the stronger they got. Like when Zod got the power of flight and heat vision. The others couldn't fly, they just could jump very high. Codependent Poster fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Jul 19, 2023 |

I have to admit what I saw of the Supergirl vs. Zod fight satisfied my anime/videogame battle urges and Supergirl looks really cool. Which is lol given the story and how they rewrote the ending.

It's cute that this Twitter user thinks there any chance Andy Muschietti is still going to be directing any film for DC after The Flash. I know he was announced for the new Batman but I assume it's just a respectful amount of time before they announce he's "stepping down".

Eh, I'm willing to suspend some disbelief for that since it's Batman and he probably knew exactly where to plant it and how much was needed to kill some near invulnerable alien. Batman always gets the buffs and critical rolls

If we're being generous and hand wavey we can say Bats used a shaped charge here. The explosion we see on the head was just the visible propellant signature for the payload of fifty BB sized titanium slivers rattling currently the Kryptonian's brain into scrambled eggs. At certain ranges, a .22 has enough juice to punch its way into a skull, but not back out, so it bounces around inside doing nasty poo poo.

After spending her whole life (or whole adult life) in captivity and looking emaciated, it takes about 5 seconds of direct sunlight to let her fly and then beat up about 20-30 Russian soldiers but then she collapses with exhaustion. "How long does it take a Kryptonian to charge off the sun" is basically "how long is the gestation period for a xenomorph", it's whatever the story calls for.

Hollywood reporter also confirms the rumors that Aquaman has been through multiple massive rewrites and reshoots and is still currently being re-shot and re-edited. They also say that after several different versions that had abysmal test screenings that the latest one is finally starting to test much better than previous versions. "Much better" doesn't necessarily mean good, though. Aquaman is also going to be insanely expensive, so it will need a huge box office to break even. The movie originally had a $205 million budget (before accounting for advertising), but the delays, reshoots, and pandemic have increased the estimated costs to nearly $300 million. If they follow the trend of 50% of the budget for advertising and press, then that would be close to $450 million - Even more expensive than the ~$330 million for The Flash. Good on WB/D for being willing to put the time and money behind the money, I guess. But, this is going to need to do better than the original's $1 billion box office to actually make them any real money. https://twitter.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1681724189177200651 quote:Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is in uncharted waters, with the next several weeks potentially setting its course, for ill or good. quote:Lost Kingdom has faced several headwinds as it swims towards a Dec. 20 release date. It was postponed several times (it originally was due to bow in December 2022), and like its DC movie brother, The Flash, its making has now spanned three regimes at Warners. quote:Principal photography wrapped in January 2022, but by summer, Emmerich was out (Hamada soon followed), both casualties of the merger that created Warner Bros. Discovery. quote:Also at issue: Batman. quote:It is unclear how Safran’s transition shifted the movie’s fortunes, if at all. Insiders say that the filmmakers were in the dumps by the seemingly never-ending post-production process and water-logged test scores. However, the skies may have cleared with the new reshoots. quote:Lost Kingdom is already an expensive production. It was greenlit at a $205 million budget and shot during the pandemic, which was a burdensome expense on tentpole productions. Additionally, every frame of the movie involves visual effects, another major cost. The reshoots have only raised that overall budget.
