Yeah, for what it is, IF s2 is good and definitely watchable. It's not DD s1 or JJ s1 but it's definitely better than IF s1, JJ s2 and Defenders S1. Middle of the road for Netflix Marvel but there's absolutely nothing wrong w/that considering where it started. It definitely one of the best paced Marvel Netflix series. If it weren't for Spider-Man, I would've easily binged it this weekend.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Given the ages of Mary/Quicksilver/Scarlet Witch, a civil war that the U.S. intervened in with Stark weapons, and it's made up location in Eurasia, it seems like they have decided to really lean into "Sokovia = Yugoslavia." Maybe they can untether future MCU Magneto's origin from WW2 and move it to the late 90's Sokovia.

I really have to wonder what kind of weirdo is mandating that these scenes be put in at this point. zoux posted:So was IF s2 good or bad. Looking forward to "gently caress plants" in the trailer.

Tbf the scene in if was extremely tame compared to JJ and cage Also I didn't catch the date on Mary's discharge papers, but I assumed the us militarys involvement came after age of ultron. Was it before 2012 or whatever on the papers? site fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Sep 10, 2018 |

zoux posted:So was IF s2 good or bad. It was good. Pacing + Fight scenes are leaps and bounds better than season 1 (which is a pretty low bar). It is probably the best paced Netflix show yet. They cut it down to 10 episodes and the script is incredibly tight and moves seamlessly. There aren't 2-3 "filler" episodes in a row like most of the other shows have. There is a consistent antagonist who is introduced immediately, so it doesn't fall prey to the "surprise REAL antagonist in the second half, but is underdeveloped and less interesting than the original antagonist" problem that many of the other seasons have. The best character from Season 1 (Harold Meachum) is gone, but the rest of the cast is basically exactly as they were in the second half of season 1. Danny is less of a annoying shithead and more of a neurotic workaholic shithead. Lots more of Colleen and the Meachum kids compared to season 1. Misty has a limited cameo, but is great. Some people complained about it in season 1, but I kind of love the show's running theme of "Over thousands of years, there have been hundreds of Iron Fists... and Danny Rand is the shittiest one there ever was." That is definitely back in full force. I have never been impressed by Alice Eve in anything, but she is legitimately amazing as Typhoid Mary. Her choreography and fight scenes are so good that they had to be using a professional body double. There are some very interesting hooks/hints for season 3 at the end. Make sure you aren't spoiled on them.

site posted:Tbf the scene in if was extremely tame compared to JJ and cage You can't really see the date on the papers, but it is strongly implied that she was there either a few years before or right after the capital was blown up. They mention that she was out on patrol with a peacekeeping force and that she had been discharged somewhere between 5 and 10 years ago. So, she was either there a few years before AoU during the war that killed Quicksilver and Witch's parents or immediately after during some kind of power vacuum/insurgence from the government collapsing.

More Swamp Thing info, a producer has said that it will be a physical suit and that they're going to be focused on a horror angle with "hard R" content.

Mr Hootington posted:I'm disappointed that Gotham is getting a shortened final season that is jam packed. They have confirmed new villains Magpie, Bane, Man-Bat, Mutant Leader from DKR, Mother, and possibly Ventriloquist. 3 of them alone could be a half season arc or full season arc main bad guy. They've only confirmed Bane's father, not Bane himself.

When was the last Magneto origin we saw, was it from XMen: First Class? Even then, I was thinking they were kinda stretching it -- someone old enough to survive the Holocaust is getting to be too old to be a credible antagonist.

Clone body/deaging/time skip whatever. It's highly doubtful Fassbender will be Magneto by the time the X-Men join the MCU so they can just sort it out whenever.

Personally, I'd say make him a survivor of the Rwandan or Cambodian genocides. Perhaps Kosovo.

With Magneto unless you add something to his powerset to explain it then you have to write some crazy de-aging or body swap nonsense to keep extending it.

How about he was a supervillain in the 1970s, but Xavier used his powers to help SHIELD cover up his existence and indeed the existence of mutants entirely, and then Magneto was put in some kind of stasis for the next 40 years, and this is basically how they'll probably get the X-Men into the MCU, isn't it?

People in real life wear magnetic bracelets because they think it has curative and de-aging properties, his power is "I'm a magnet," it's fine having him be a holocaust survivor forever. If they ever resurrect Xavier in the comics they'll have to retcon when they met (or not, I can't remember what's canon now?)

There's an issue of Lee/Kirby's FF where Nick Fury shows up and there's a flashback, and maybe it came up in the Hatemonger issue, I don't remember. But yeah, it was never a major part of the comic, I just liked it as a bit of background for the characters.

It really isn't hard to come up with simple narrative elements to keep Magneto both a Holocaust survivor and not severely advanced in age. You don't even need the crazy plots comics have come up with. As someone already mentioned, just him being a mutant is enough to explain slower aging. If you wanted to add a bit more weight then just say he was experimented on at some point in his youth, which already fits in with his general attitude toward people and his how he has been wronged.

Yeah, he had limited powers when he was in the concentration camp and Goebbels did some horrible poo poo to him that made him age super slow and now he's basically stopped aging at around 55 or whatever.

Or he can be old, and he can die on Genosha when it gets nuked like he should have in the comics. Professor X and Magneto (should) can be these near mythic figures to try and live up to or learn from like Martin and Malcolm. Then they don't have to be young and sexy.
