Waterhaul posted:Yeah we don't know what his powers will be like when he returns (other than presumably just being telekinesis) but the guy has regular dudes distract him while scientists come up with a plan that just might work written all over him. Personally I'm more interested in how they decide to render him given that I presume he won't be a full CGI character despite last weeks ending. Probably t-1000 style; have him CGI for some quick, moving around shots, then he reforms as himself

Barry Convex posted:that the general public wasn't aware of the existence of superhumans until Avengers, which makes little sense given events in Thor, Captain America, and (especially) The Incredible Hulk. Thor and Hulk were gas explosions, most people figure Cap was just an actor. Pretty easy stuff for a top secret organization to disapear

ToastyPotato posted:Nobody trusted Shield in any of the Marvel films so far either, so that is not really indicative of anything. An example of my point is the fact that outside of Coulson, who basically died via impalement on an alien spear, via a godlike being, no one seems to have any real issue or trauma with what happened in NYC. Again, think about how many people had their world turned upside down by 9/11, and now realize that no one on the team, most of whom were in Shield when this happened, seem to have any issue with the fact that we were invaded by aliens and a bunch of people died. They have literally returned to just globe trotting around looking up suspicious things and people, which is what they have been doing since the first Marvel film. Most of those people weren't anywhere near New York at the time, so they'd manage. Tony's PTSD was also a major bit of Iron Man 3 so it wouldn't exactly be new ground

Barry Convex posted:Regarding episode 8 (the Thor:TDW aftermath one), as I said in the other thread: just please, make the nature of the tie-in more interesting than "bad guy threatens to get his hands on Svartalfheim laser gun MacGuffin" or the equivalent. No such luck! "In the aftermath of the events chronicled in the feature film Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World, Coulson and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. pick up the pieces – one of which threatens to destroy a member of the team." Makes sense really, they can't really do crossovers in quite the same way that comics do, everything has to be contained to it's own medium

If they're not putting in Strange Kingpin makes the most sense, he can be the big bad behind everything in the solo series, then they all team up to take him out in Defenders. I guess they're just calling it Defenders because that sounds better than Marvel Knights

I think Dean Norris is a pretty safe bet, he's super high profile right now with Breaking Bad ending, but not high profile enough to be really expensive. He's a bit short but he has the look down otherwise

That's a really good way of doing a half-reboot or whatever this is going to be. It's not like he needs a huge introduction, his origin can be gone over in about 10 minutes a la Incredible Hulk

ToastyPotato posted:That would be the smartest thing to do but I don't really have any faith in that happening. The fact that all of these characters are going to exist in a TV capacity, instead of a movie capacity, should absolutely mean that they appear on AOS proper, but I can see Disney loving it up and refusing to let different foods touch on their plate. Because they have such a poor track record with cross overs so far...

quote:Reilly confirmed that the series will be as much of an origins story for Batman as Gordon. The pilot, executive produced and written by The Mentalist showrunner Bruno Heller, is in the process of casting -- and Reilly supposed that they will be looking for a boy of about 12 years old to play the young Wayne. Gordon becomes Batman, Wayne becomes Robin. Do it Warner, go nuts

Didn't the eventually make it "One power at a time"? That made sense. And as bad as Sylar's flip flopping was at least it would give us some cool scenes when he he'd inevitably go evil again and do some massacring. Mohinder's flip flopping was the worst and never made any sense with the plot

If I remember correctly Kring took a lot of the blame for screwing up S2, then started to fix things when the writers strike went into effect. Then I guess they wanted to start fresh with S3 (which still wound up being mostly garbage). S4 was ok, mainly due to Robert Knepper.
