Robbie Reyes' thing is kind of different from the other Ghost Riders as his stuff (in the comics) isn't explicitly a spirit of vengeance thing.

Yeah. It's a spirit that seeks some vengeance, but only because it has unfinished business, not because of a higher joint mandate from Heaven and Hell.

Still cool though.

Look, I know the supernatural isn't something that's supposed to happen, but it does happen.

That whole album is great and could totally apply to Ghost Rider. Maybe the 2099 version in some places, but still.

Mr Beens posted:

Why would a Koenig not be played by Patton Oswalt?

Because we already know the Director is another actor, therefore IF his he's a Koenig, it's not one of the Oswalts.

I love me some Patton Oswalt, don't get me wrong. I want him to be on this show all the time.

The color coding lanyards reeks of of Koenig's influence, by the way.

You guys are trying really hard to find something to be offended by. I can't possibly be as much fun to enjoy media if you approach every show with the attitude of 'how is this offensive to me?'

The MCU isn't progressive enough because:

Doesn't represent women.

Doesn't represent people of color.

Doesn't represent um, Asians?

Doesn't represent how about Hispanics?

Doesn't represent... gay people?

Doesn't represent I know, Tibetans!

Doesn't represent... give me a minute.

You could certainly call out Hollywood for Asian representation, but this might be the worst thread, save Marco Polo, in all of TV IV to do so.


Some people do look for ways to be offended, it seems. However, I'm not sure that this is the case ITT for most posters.

Do all the ghost riders have the stare thing? I thought it was only some of them.

The Pennance Stare was a Danny Ketch/Noble Kale thing. The Johnny Blaze/Zarathos Rider had a lot of hellfire, Ketch/Kale had hellfire, animated chains, and The Stare, and Robbie seems to have more knives and chains and hellfire, but his spirit is more like Zarathos (a demon) than Kale (the Angel of Vengeance, an agent of both Heaven and Hell)

Nick went into Coulson's room, dipped the Captain America Limited Edition Collectible Cards™ in ketchup because, aside from that being the only thing ketchup is good for, it looked like blood on-camera and he needed a convincing, tangible catalyst for causing the Avengers to Assemble. Because we all know Coulson wasn't just letting those cards lay around loose, what kind of nerd does that?

It's probably wishful thinking on my part, but my theory is that (potential spoilers based on comics plot I guess) Robbie's brother has been somehow possessed by their uncle Eli. Otherwise his characterization this week was super lovely and weird.

Eli is the spirit bonded to Robbie in the comics, though there was a bit when he hopped around because Robbie wasn't playing ball...

In regards to the repeated mentioning of "The Incident" in the Netflix shows as opposed to all of the other disasters, all of the Netflix shows take place in small parts of New York, where "The Incident" took place. It kind of makes sense that that would be more immediate for New Yorkers than Sokovia or whatever.

I really wish they'd actually use the characters' names instead of the stupid "green guy" stuff though.

Maybe nobody held a press conference and revealed the preferred codenames of those guys.

I watch the show on DVR every week now, but oh man this last episode was excellent. But I'm loving everything to do with Ghost Rider way more than I thought I would. I've never read Ghost Rider comics, but now I think I want to go back and read up more on him.

Hell yes you do. Danny Ketch 4 lyfe!

(Also Robbie Reyes 4 lyfe now that they've well and truly messed the Ketch storyline up real good.)

Jamesman posted:

I'm not really feeling the whole self-loathing thing for James. I can't make the connection to how he went from the character we saw last season to what we saw in this episode. I don't know if there's going to be more to it that's explained later, if I'm missing something, or if it's just forcing a character to act in a way that's not in line with that character.

Most of the time he was under Hive's control, if I remember correctly.

Spergatory posted:

James also had to deal with the Hive shakes, and they even said in the show that he took it worse than Daisy. To go from murder and genocide and loving every minute of it to feeling nothing but emptiness and contemplating the wretchedness of your own actions... I'd say that's a very sensible place to turn to self-loathing nihilism.
