Dr. Leon Adoso Sumbitches (prounounced soom-'beh-cheh) (born January 21, 1935) is heir to the legendary Adoso family oil fortune.





That explains some of the popularity, it's easily legible to people

I don't think so. Maybe some of the audience reviews elsewhere on the internet but not here. Everyone here pretty much loved both female leads, and if they know anything of her work the director as well.

Hopefully this doesn't mean Pedro and Ebon are sucked into the MCU permanently and can't make more quality content.

Edit - Though that is some inspired goddam casting for Ben.

I don’t think Marvel does the long contracts anymore, so probably something like a 3 picture deal.

I still think of him as The Last Ship Guy. Even though he was only in ten episodes, he was very compelling (aka was great at being a scumbag). Was certainly the most interesting actor on that show

That still sounds like a long contract, I'm sure you're referencing something much worse, but I would still pray this is one and done.

In the early days, the actors signed up for nine movies, and Marvel went away from that. But I don't see the issue, he obviously has no problems starring in popular pop culture stuff, Marvel is no different than Mandalorian and The Last of Us.

Yeah that's 3 times worse. Star Wars, Marvel are just still on my completely ignore list, doesn't matter whether it's the worst or best of it don't wanna watch. Next time I want to see Marvel is if they do something actually new with it on paper.

So it's purely just I like him as an actor, I know many other projects I would gladly watch that would love to have him. Even if I end up watching and loving FF, I wouldn't want 2 more because I prefer when movies can stand by themselves these days.

I’m not sure why I am asking because I feel like I already know but does the ATV show Invasion get any better? I’m like a little over half way through the first season and it’s pretty aggressively mid to bad so far.

I know it got a second season so maybe the second season is better?

Never watched it but they just announced it was renewed for a third season so it seems like it is fairly popular at least?

I managed to find some redeeming stuff in Invasion S2, namely (bizarrely) some of the kid actor performances, particularly the snide rich boy. It's actually genuinely fun to watch him work.

Shame about the rest of it really, it's basically Stranger Things but way more plodding

Are the aliens in Invasion actually interesting or are they the new standard of cheap CGI aliens pretending to be deep? i.e. swirling, amorphous blobs?

They're blobs. They're not cheap blobs, and they're several different kinds of blobs, and sometimes they're genuinely threatening blobs, but they're blobs.

Blobs.

It's cool they got the original Cyclops and Storm VAs back. I can't tell if that's the same wolverine. There's only one VA that absolutely must return and that's Gambit.

Cyclops is clearly Ray Chase to me, so I don't think that's his original voice actor

That loving guitar riff rules so hard and is probably 70% of why I enjoyed the show back in the mid 90s.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
Hey what was that show that I believe AMC released after lodge 49 and felt like it was chasing that audience. It was about a weird game and maybe a conspiracy, it was very strange. I didn't finish it but that's not necessarily its fault, I can't finish anything anymore

Dispatches and Mrs Davis have had the best / tidiest mystery box / conspiracy wrap-ups of the entire genre. Helps they were a lot more lighthearted though.

I'm with you, the Cyclops voice actor sounds dead-on to the original to me.

The Wolverine voice actor, on the other hand....

Look he only has one line in the trailer, but I refuse to believe they couldn't find another voice actor that could get the voice closer to the original than this guy

It's older, like 80s older, but Tenko is a classic. MASH too.

I've always had a soft spot for The Unit, but I gather that's a bit more contentious. Though weirdly not because of the two episodes that dip into the straight up supernatural.
