twistedmentat posted:That's a really common thing in stuff now. They don't tell actors that are going to die in Walking Dead that they are going to die until just before shooting. I think Game of Thrones is like that too, trying to keep the actors from spilling the beans over their and other characters deaths. Even when they were filming Casablanca, Ingrid Berman had no idea who she was supposed to end up with for over half of the movie's filming and was merely told to "play it in the middle."

Dr. MonkeyThunder posted:As much as I'd love to see some photographic reflexes on the show they don't have anything in common except for a rough childhood and holding pretty low values of human life. On the plus side they could recast him with a stuntman in a skull mask. I actually suggested Ward as Taskmaster in the TV subforum, but I think after The MSJ saw someone come up with it. I don't think they'll do it, but it could totally fit. He's obviously going to do some kind of redeemable last minute action, mind-wiping is already an important part of the plot and Taskmaster is a former SHIELD agent in the comics. If they want to keep him around as some kind of anti-hero without having to worry about all the terrible poo poo he did, he could die heroically, get brought back like Coulson, have his mind wiped completely, escape and go around as this amnesiac mercenary with awesome fighting skills who doesn't want to know who he is because he can feel that he did something completely unforgivable.

I'm loving how Agents of SHIELD has become an exercise of hinting that they're going to go with the blatant redemption arc for Ward, only to smack it out of your hand and go, "NOPE!" "Look, Garrett told Ward to kill his dog years ago and he instead scared the dog away with a warning shot! He's not such a bad guy after-- haha, just kidding. He shot the dog after that. He's a loving rear end in a top hat."

muscles like this? posted:That whole fight scene cemented, to me at least, the idea that they aren't going to try and redeem Ward. The way Ward actively tried to kill/severely injure May and the way she hurt him to end the fight was straight up villain territory. Also, for the final bit in chains Ward looked pretty pissed off. He's in an interesting place because he is what the main characters on the show feared they were: Agents of Nothing. He was a longtime agent of SHIELD, but not really because he was really an agent of Hydra, but not really because he was only really working for Garrett. He was really Grant Ward: Agent of Garrett. There's a really telling moment when Garrett is reacting to the treatment and shows that he no longer needs Ward, wanting to reward him with what Ward wants and Ward freezes up. All Ward's ever cared about are Skye (that ship has sailed) and doing Garrett's bidding. Without Garrett needing him to be his little soldier, he doesn't know what he's all about. He didn't believe in SHIELD*, he didn't believe in Hydra and by the end he didn't even believe in Garrett. Now he's got absolutely nothing to live for except maybe revenge. That scene of him standing there while being talked down at by Coulson was great because he lost everything and now he has to live with it. *Roman Reigns would be so ashamed.

The MSJ posted:Even Skye in AoS have been upgraded to "hacker who karates and shoot people". Maybe even more than that if it ever turns out she has super powers. Unless her superpower is hacking with her brain. Speaking of which, Skye offhand mentioned having a hacker acquaintance named Micro who is really into crime scene photos. That made me grin.

notthegoatseguy posted:AOS first episode of the year was pretty drat good. They're really going to make the Inhumans (no, not the royal family) part of this show but I don't know enough about most of them to know if they're actually based on comic characters or if they're original creations. The eyeless guy (Reader) and Raina's new form are in the current Inhuman series. So basically they were created for the show and I guess Charles Soule was asked to incorporate them into his series.

I thought before this episode she might be Naja but probably not now. Yeah, I was probably wrong about that. She just looked a lot like that weird girl in the comic who bragged about eating a mouse. I could have sworn Soule confirmed on Twitter that the dude on Shield is Reader though.

So in comics, whenever they introduce a serum or potion of some kind, they never even start explaining what's in it because it's comic book super science and only very specific fictional geniuses are supposed to even know how it works. Makes sense. On tonight's SHIELD, they explained what Mr. Hyde's formula is made of. Gorilla testosterone, crystal meth and a dash of peppermint, with the powers kicking in after taking electric paddles to the chest and an adrenaline injection. That... sounds like a party  Meanwhile, Hyde is my favorite MCU villain. He's like a Batman '66 villain in a modern Marvel setting and it's so loving absurd and amazing. Tonight also gave us the most badass line from Mack. *Gordon the teleporter appears with Mack sitting across from him, holding an axe* "It's Gordon, right?" "Yes. And you are?" "I'm the guy who kills Gordon."

There's something subtle about Jessica Jones that, if intentional, was incredibly brilliant. It's the mass interview montage segment. As the viewer, we're given an advantage over everyone else in that world which can affect our judgment. One of the criticisms I've seen about the show is that Kilgrave shouldn't be hard to believe in because it's a world with the Avengers and whatnot. It's brought up in-show too. We know that Kilgrave is real, so we can't really identify with the MCU public. Then there's that scene. When that douche guy talks about a "limey" stealing his blazer, we know he's telling the truth and we, much like Jessica, take him seriously. But there are others whose stories don't match up with what we know. One of the most prominent characters in this montage is a stoner who blames an Asian guy for mind-controlling him into robbing a convenience store. We laugh at him because Kilgrave isn't Asian. This guy is obviously just making this stuff up to explain away his criminal actions. An Asian guy with mind control. How silly! We all have a good laugh. But later in the season, we see the videos of Kilgrave's childhood origin. It's revealed that there were other test subjects out there and the very first one we see is from an Asian country. Did he gain the same powers? Did he end up in the States somehow? Is this the very person the stoner guy claimed ordered him around? Who's to say? What's important is that it's possible that that guy was telling the truth and we, as well as Jessica, dismissed him in the same way the public would dismiss Hope for her crazy explanation.

Reminder: most of the first season is really bad and flavorless, but it does get very good once Bill Paxton shows up and you do get some decent world-building out of the experience for future use.

Lurdiak posted:David Wise wrote the Battletoads pilot and people still loving love Gargoyles. I could kill Elec Man with a deep cut like that. Good going. mikeraskol posted:First (very) minor plot stuff as well. Could be going full on Batman Begins with it. Iron Fist's origin story from his original run is basically Batman Begins already, only take all the genius/detective/etc stats that Bruce Wayne gained and replace it with maxing out his fighting stats. I'm glad they're going in this direction because it means we might get the scene where Iron Fist finally tracks down his father's killer, which is probably the best "vengeance is hollow" moment in comics. Rhyno posted:So spent the day binging AoS. Lots of alien text carving, Fitz going all Flowers for Algernon. Skye's dad is indeed a ton of fun, Rhaina (sp?) is the loving worst. And now Skye's been terigenesized and Tripp is dead. Are we supposed to be super sad about Tripp dying? Everyone is all twisted up and I just don't remember him being very close to anyone but whatever. I should let you know that there's a character coming up named Lincoln. As the optimism to oppose your pessimism, I just want to warn you that he loving sucks. Everyone is more or less in agreement that Lincoln loving sucks and you're going to have to deal. Just a heads up. But Hunter's really fun, so there's that!
