There's a silly to us scene towards the end that may be a little scary if your seven year old is a little bitch! But seriously, there's a chase/monster sequence that will have the whole theater laughing, but might be a bit scary. I'm sure hearing everyone else laughing along with the song that plays will make it fine, but little kids are weird and the headsup will help. I'd let him watch. \\/\/\/ that's what I thought, looks human but 300 years old Soonmot fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Nov 15, 2023 |

I was wondering if he was from Wakanda but when he said how old he was I thought he could be magical. I had forgotten whether all Asgardians live for thousands of years or if that was just the upper and ruling classes.

Going by Agents of SHIELD all live extremely long. They had an episode where Peter McNicholl played a regular Asgardian who had run away to Earth and was just living here for hundreds of years.

Fortune has an article based on the MCU book that was mentioned earlier in the thread about the theory that Kevin Feige's promotion to not having to be involved in the day-to-day stuff on movies hurt them. I haven't read the book, but this sounds like a pretty thorough summary of the book's thesis and reporting. quote:A major reason for the film’s flop is that the workload placed on Marvel’s chief creative engine, president Kevin Feige, is starting to catch up with him, according to the authors of the recently published MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios. quote:‘The irreplaceable man’ quote:Feige is even credited with conceiving of the “Marvel method,” a new way to produce movies in which reshoots were essentially baked into the development process, Robinson says. After a first round of filming, Feige would watch a cut of the movie, offer feedback, and then send the actors and crew back out to the set for another round of shoots. quote:‘Stretched too thin’ quote:The aura of creative invincibility that surrounded Marvel has been punctured of late. Some recent Disney+ shows, including Secret Invasion and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, have been critically lambasted—words like “dull,” “uninspired,” and even “soulless” were thrown around. Disney CEO Iger himself seemingly acknowledged that the quality of some of Disney’s latest releases was lackluster, telling investors earlier this week it “wasn’t really up to the standards that we set for ourselves.” He made a similar point in July. https://fortune.com/2023/11/13/the-marvels-studio-kevin-feige-replacement-marvel-studios-mcu/amp/

She-Hulk, a show about a female superhero fighting back against the chauvinists who don't think she deserves her power, wasn't critically lambasted, it was hated by fans. Feels like a pretty big detail. And the whole thing about Feige reminds me of reports that he loved working with Raimi because he didn't need babysitting.

Weird to say "hated by fans" generally but specifically for SheHulk I don't think anyone who hated it was a fan. A marvel fan generally maybe, but not of She Hulk

Feels like a pretty big detail. The critics may have been commenting on some of the rough CGI, which I could see as them saying "looked uncanny and soulless at times" only to have the word "soulless" quote-pulled later out of context as though it was in reference to the show itself.

Nobody who was a fan of the She-Hulk comics can ever say the show isn't spot on when compared to the source material. Chuds may have hated the show, but they are just fake comic reader bois when they make a claim that "Marvel ruined it" because holy poo poo it could not be more comics accurate.

She Hulk was great as were Moon Knight, Ms Marvel, Hawkeye, Loki and parts of Wandavison SI was awful but I wonder what the scripts that were tossed away were. There was so much potential in the idea of mixing superspys with an invasion of aliens that could change their look at a glance. Instead we got a warmed over NCIS script featuring aliens that never changed their looks. Soonmot posted:There's a silly to us scene towards the end that may be a little scary if your seven year old is a little bitch! He would insist that he was OK with it. He's been playing the LEGO Jurassic Park games and insisted he could deal with the scarier scenes. I skipped past Dennis Nedry's death and he was complaining "Dad, I know Nedry gets killed by the Dilophosaurus." I explained to him that there was a difference between knowing that a character dies and seeing them realistically torn apart while screaming. I know kids can deal with more than adults think they can. As the same point I don't want to take a casual attitude toward a potentially scarring moment. He will probably see the movie on Disney plus after his mom and I have seen it.

You're gonna make your kid weird (lame and bad version) instead of weird (cool and good version) by preventing him from seeing some bizarre and upsetting movie thing that will stick in his mind like a splinter. Kids need some grit in there to start forming the pearls that constitute a good personality and sense of humor.

He's already a weird and cool kid.He wants to make a detective agency with his aunt (another aunt is the main suspect) and he's been putting together quizzes for me that feature animal facts. At five his favorite continent was Antarctica. He writes stories and has me staple the pages together.

He'll see some stuff that I watch and occasionally get obsessed. Loves the plant lady on Animalogic, Mark Rober, Lateral with Tom Scott, watching a dude play Path of Titans on a realism server and the sillier stuff on Bo Time gaming. It's going to be interesting watching him grow up.

Yea, she hulk was hated by the people who it was about. That's not surprising. it was probably the most TV of the shows, you had a half hour format where She Hulk takes a case, and by the end the case is solved, and then in between that was a meta narrative. It is how these should be done. Wandavision was good for that too, with each episode being a different eras tv and its own self contained story but building up to something at the end. It may have stumbled a bit at the end but overall it was a TV show that could be compared to other serialized shows like Mad Men or Breaking Bad; each episode has a plot that has elements of something bigger but that episode is about this one specific thing. I hope the whole uncoupling the movies and D+ shows just means they won't make any huge changes to things just in TV shows. Just having the shows be "here's more adventures with your characters" or maybe just stuff that wouldn't work fully as a movie either because the character wouldn't work or there's more story to be told. At least Sam was given the shield at the end of Endgame, so him being cap in cap 4 won't be too much of a surprise. Also, i feel like the concept of "show, don't tell" has been followed obessively. You can't have ANYTHING happen off screen, everything must be shown in detail or it cannot be included in the story. You can't have a character show up and have a new skill and say "Oh yea i've been practicing for the past 5 months", you need to have a limited series explaining it. I always remember that Patton Oswalt bit "I don't care where the poo poo i love comes from, i just love the poo poo I love". I remember there being a handful of people upset that Homecoming did not feature Peter being bit or Uncle Ben's death, but those people got told to shut up because jesus christ we don't need to see that stuff ever again.
