omg chael crash posted:Was there any specific reason for changing Constantine? I really don’t mind, just curious When the actor was announced, I thought there were discussions of a separate Constantine show and they either wanted to use the same actor for both, or have the Constantine show be boy-Constantine and Sandman be the girl-Constantine. I assume the show is dead, unless they've somehow made it fit under reality TV.

I skipped most of 24 Hours and only regret not skipping more. The John stuff is just human misery, and the Morpheus part at the end is another bullshit magic fight. If you are going to watch 24 Hours, make sure you have time to watch the following episode too, rinse that out.

The Question IRL posted:And she really doesn't like graphic violence. How much should I do to prepare her for future episodes? Maybe just skip everything with John Dee? He kills a bunch of prison guards and folks. I think he mainly appears at the end of episodes, so you can just skip ahead, but I'm not 100% Some Corinthian stuff might get weird too. There's just a lot of dark stuff in the series, but the one you mention is definitely the saddest Shageletic posted:<Bojack Horseman stuff> Conrad_Birdie posted:If you’re not expecting mostly “bullshit magic fights” Sandman might not be for you! I guess I just like shows about garbage people trying to be better?

Joe Fisto posted:No, but I have listened to the audio play. I recall that being more graphic. TBH I didn't watch the full episode, but it definitely looked less bloody than the comic, which has fingers being cut off and people acting like animals killing each other. The comic was also drawn in a very sketched out manner, so it created a bit more mental space between the reader and the subjects, and it was a series of like three panel vignettes, so I think it worked a bit better but I would still probably skim it if I do a re-read. All in all it was just a lot of "why are these people being mean jerks? Oh right, magic". It was pessimism masquerading as cheap drama, and personally I don't need that. And the whole "Pessimism == Truth" is just a line I've grown sick of.

theironjef posted:Seeing a lot of people say the news scene in this episode means that this takes place during Shang-Chi AND that Banner flying off back to Sakaar means WW Hulk is coming, which seems reasonable, but that does leave me wondering how long Shang-Chi was at his dad's house and training with the Ta Lo folks, since that ended with Banner being friendly and full-human again. That would sorta blunt the thrust of a World War Hulk movie, knowing he's just fine and chill again later. All of Shang-Chi, except for flash backs, could have taken place over 4 days or less. The people you're referencing have little grasp of how long it takes for news to travel.

Back in my day all we had was Green Lou Ferrigno and the same 3 clips of jeans tearing, and it was still the most exciting part of the day, except for constant nuclear terror and occasional releases from Weird Al Yankovic.

glitchwraith posted:The thing about the post credits scene is that, while the dance is inherently sexual, it's not sexualized. Like, there is a surprising lack of male gaze to the scene helped primarily by the fact that the dance is done in a realistically fitting, professional suit. The scene isn't there to entice the audience, it's there to show a fan of Megan Thee Stallion getting to have fun with Megan Thee Stallion by doing one of Megan Thee Stallion's signature dances. Counterpoint - Lawyers are inherently sexy.

Old Kentucky Shark posted:On the one hand, I can't disagree with any of this. On the other hand, I really like where the season ended up. "People can be more than just one thing: they grow and evolve" is a hell of a thesis statement for a wacky violent R-rated cartoon show about the Joker's girlfriend. I just finished the first season, and yeah, where they reached far they really did well. Some of the side characters really got to me, so I have trouble recommending it, but the parts that were good were really drat good on a few levels.

CoolCab posted:finished it and overall easy easy recommend for peacemaker. there is some extremely good television on right now but very easily my favourite superhero product of this year i think, and likewise if you haven't bothered with The Suicide Squad on the fairly solid basis of what it was like before the The you're fuckin up and you should watch it first. both of them are closer to james gunn things than other stuff. Regarding FatWS, Sam and Bucky should have done more therapy together.

Jessica Jones doesn''t have a huge comic history to draw on, so the show deviated pretty quickly. Season 1 expands/improves on her story with Kilgrave. Pretty much everything else is new or heavily changed. Season 1 just set such a high bar, really good show.

X-O posted:Well not all of them. The third season of Daredevil was the best season by far. And that's after a great first season and a pretty good second one. That was the Punisher and Electra stuff? It's been a while but I remember the Punisher part was great, Electra much less so. The quality of the episode was inversely proportional to the number of ninjas in it.

Re-do Three's Company with Drax, Darcy, Katey. Madisynn replaces Larry, the upstairs neighbor. White-Mandarin is the landlord.

I don't remember: Did Iron Fist Season 1 end with a guy trying to shoot Iron Fist? And, like, the whole plan was to shoot Danny somewhere other than his fist, which is iron? I can't tell if that's just some dumb joke I heard or if I actually saw that.

Sticking to Legends is fine as long as you're ok with Arrow or someone popping in to say "Hey, we all hate these aliens now, ok?" for like 2 episodes. I just got the Legends part of CoIE and it was great. There was some other kind of multiverse bang up which was great too. Legends is dumb fun, and it really leans into it as it goes.

Jack Hawksmore was always a cool idea, although his powers ended up being random enough that it didn't really work. e: Jenny Quantum is the dumbest name in a medium full of dumb names. I'd rather they rename her Jenny Bloodshot

The withholding stuff story line is more impactful when it is vaccines and medicine instead of, like, 3 trucks full of blankets or something. I don't want to derail with actual humanitarian concerns, and I 100% support giving asylum and support to refugees, but sending out superheroes did not feel like a cost effective solution to stuff being stolen from refugees, unless they are going to punch policy makers.

Doctor Spaceman posted:Scenes like Brasso establishing an alibi for Cassian, Hyne dressing down Syril or even just the opening scene with Cassian and the rent-a-cops are far better than anything in Secret Invasion (though the scene with Colman and Jackson ain't half bad).

SI had the evil minions try to merc their leader because he was unhinged and executed one of them. That's the most realistic thing that has ever happened in Marvel. Otherwise, a very uninteresting show

I went into Gen V with low expectations but it won me over. I checked out the cartoon spinoff and left pretty quickly. Regarding the last episode or 2 Sam and Cate made sense as kids going with a poorly thought out idea, which is true to the character, but if they just keep going that way in a future season it'll get old really quickly. "gently caress you mom, I'm going to murder people I don't like" works for these characters, but once they calm down there should be some introspection.
