VanillaGorilla posted:One of the big rumors out there is that they’re planning to essentially do a “do-over” on Defenders in the sense that there will eventually be a “street-level” collab movie with DD, Echo, and Spider-Man with Kingpin in the “street-level” Thanos role. He’s signed on for another trilogy, no?

The_Doctor posted:He’s signed on for another trilogy, no? I don’t think that’s ever been outright confirmed - there were rumors he signed a deal a couple of years ago but that got debunked and he started talking a lot last year about wanting to change things up in his career and not wanting to play the character into his 30’s. Maybe that’s posturing to get a better deal, but I don’t think it’s safe to think he’s signed for anything more than Spider-Man 4, at this point (and we don’t even really know that).

Holy poo poo, Echo is much,much better than whatever Secret Invasion was. That was some decent TV right there.

Secret Invasion is an easy fix. Just add a title card to the beginning of the first episode that reads “Earth-4763”.

LividLiquid posted:I have a hypothesis that Toby Maguire had a talk with him about how to get the most out of being a franchise lead because ever since they were in No Way Home together, Holland has been saying all the right things to get himself a big fat raise. Uncharted, Cherry and The Crowded Room made zero impact so he's probably open to more Spider-Man.

I thought Echo was pretty good, but it was a little tame in the action department and the pacing felt off, definitely could have used more episodes.

If Disney keep’s putting magic grandmas in the MCU, they’re going to have a plot problem of why aren’t the magic grandmas aren’t starting their own Avengers team.

Disney seems to have dropped the “struggle/reconciliation with the father” trope and is investing in the Divine Feminine trope. Which is cool and good, as long as Care Bear stares don’t become over used like climatic laser fights.

smoobles posted:In true MCU fashion we need eleven movies about super grandpas before we introduce a super grandma It just occurred to me that I haven’t seen ‘The Marvels’, yet so I can do a critique of that for themes I keep seeing. Do notice how Star Wars and Disney both are introducing a lot of feminine triads. In Echo, it’s Maya, her sister, and their Chula.

So that's a Young Avengers, a Geriatric Avengers, a Sidekick Avengers, do we have enough pets yet for Animal Avengers? I can only think of Blue Jack and Pizza Dog, hell throw in the rat from Infinity War.

Ep1 Echo is a pretty good catchup on events to the present. So Echo toe to toe w/ DD. But Hawkeye > Echo so, Hawkeye > DD? I only ever really watched the first season of DD and half of Defenders, but does DD usually trade that many hits? I guess when he was starting out, he did get roughed up a lot. I like he just tanks a bunch of Maya's kicks and barely moves.

He also becomes much tankier when he gets his red suit that is made out of some unnamed ~*magic*~ material that is light, flexible, bullet-proof, and vibration-absorbing.

Doesn't Hawkeye also have a lot more training and experience than Daredevil? He did a lot of black ops with Black Widow, and there was the whole murdering his way through the criminal underworld as Ronin.

The real question to determine which is better is by their relationships. So Tatiana Maslany or Linda Cardellini? I posit there is no right answer. Or wrong answer to be more precise.
