Well, I just remembered that Wanda's first appearance in the MCU had her manipulating people's minds.

Edmund Lava posted:This is the most expensive TV show ever made, I don’t think Disney cares much about the budget. Thats what struck me about it. Especially with a similar type org to SHIELD, which always felt so constrained and B movie type production values on Agents of Shield. Wandavision just looks expensive.

Martytoof posted:Rewatching. Not going to go looking for it but whoever posted that this part was super unsettling was SPOT on: Yeah. It hit much more than even Asif Ali's breakdown because, I think, it was more awkward? Like we expect people to vaccilate between mind control and being aware of it. But someone acting a certain way, then completely breaking the other way, while showing a weird mix of concern and worry, like they're loving up their acting? Then Wanda is confused (maybe) and Vision absolutely confused, and smiling as a reflex? That's high tier, primo, grade A awkwardness that in some configurations ppl like you and me can encounter. Like a bad dream where you're supposed to know a script that people expect to know, and you're completely blanking. gently caress, it is nightmarish.

Jennifer Lawrence blew as Mystique. The first Mystique was better. Yeah she doesn't make it to Marvel if i had the choice. Primo draft picks: Deadpool, Collosus (from Deadpool), Juggernaught from Deadpool.... lol just make Quicksilver and the cast of Deadpool Marvel and call it a day. e: liked Havoc from First Class too bring him back

Boxman posted:Does the MCU have enough villains that lived through their movies' endings to do a Thunderbolts? Introducing a bunch of heroes then saying "TWIST they were villains" when we didn't see them be villains seems...sorta dumb. They hosed up Ghost's characterization Ant Man too much to have her properly follow the comic's version's thoroughline. In the comics Ghost is a paranoid conspiracy huffing weirdo that hasnt been out of his suit in years, that nonetheless figures out what was really happening in the organization and exploited it. Having an anticorporate anarchist in your Disney property is probably too much to ask for.

Lid posted:I stopped following them in the late 2000s and a few months back wanted to look up like a ranking of the best writer runs in comics of the last twenty years, namely where did Bendis' Daredevil and Brubaker's Captain America rank (they were #2 and #3 - Bendis' Daredevil is the best run on the character ever fight me - #1 was Morrison's Batman) Currently going thru Hickman's run on Avenger rn. Some pretty good stuff. But yeah it gets loving confusing bc of some crossovers (not Infinity) that changes the status quo.so much

Its funny, the stuff outside the bubble had more tropes than the supposed sitcom inside. Rolling my eyes at Darcy becoming a super hacker (was she in the movies), and them knocking out the soldiers just perfectly.

Son of a Vondruke! posted:Am I the only one pessimistic enough to think this whole Pietro thing isn't going to lead to anything? I'm betting it will turn out to be just what it appears on the surface. The same character from Avengers coupled with a cute joke about sitcoms recasting actors. People here have a lot of cool theories, but I'm guessing whatever Marvel actually does isn't going to be nearly as good. Ditto with Monica's engineer friend. I just get the feeling that Wandavision wasn't intended to be this big a deal. Covid 19 turned the whole world on it's head, and due to being the only one ready to release, Wandavision got thrust into the spotlight. I hope I'm wrong and something cool like mutants or the fantastic four comes from this, but I just don't see it. I just hope they tell a good story. Couldn't give a rat's rear end about crossovers or bringing in new characters or whatever the gently caress.

Ignis posted:Fun anachronism from this week's episode: Wanda was born in 89 and her parents died when she was 10, so that flashback would presumably happen in 99, before those editions of Bewitched S1 (June 2005) and Malcolm S1 (2002) were made. I figure it's just a production goof and not actual foreshadowing to things, fwiw Wait Wanda was born in 89? Shes 31 without the 5 year scan? A little surprising.

live with fruit posted:At what point does Wakanda go from being a celebration of African cultures to racist? When it feels denigatory and the people being reflected by it feel like its an insult, rather than something to be proud of. I can see why Africans might see it as something as disconnected to their experience, because it is, but when I visited Ethiopia few years ago people were still pretty hype about it. It was Addis Ababa, so ymmv.

Boxman posted:And honestly these are just the sorts of problems that crop up in a shared universe. Like, I think the somewhat relatively cartoony handling of the Battle of New York works in a vacuum, just like I think the Zod/Superman fight having catastrophic fallout works (apologies if this infects another thread with Snydertalk). But eventually you get a creator who wants to treat the former with more gravitas or the latter with a less serious face. Welp this explains the weirdness I felt watching Jessica Jones and their hushed tones about the "incident" and the 4 color wham bam full battle spread that was Avengers. Man, that was a strange juxtaposition.

You know after watching the Honest Trailer for Wandavision, did Wanda even have an arc? Did she learn anything she didn't know before, other than she's powerful as hell. The whole grief thing, was that satisfactorily resolved? I can't remember that happening, and that's a shame.

Tom Tucker posted:Zemo is straight up the best character on the show. His motivation is 100x better than anyone else the past 4 episodes (Bucky is pretty relatable with his whole 'making things right with those I wronged' thing but that's super irrelevant the past 3 episodes) but Zemo you get it super-powered people destroyed his family and he will stop at nothing to ensure super-powered people are, thus, no more. Ends? Means? Who cares, the Serum must be destroyed, and then the super-soldiers, and then the next threat to an innocent person's family. It's honestly relatable because the actor is dripping with charm in his role and the costuming is crushing it for him and him alone. That speech about the motivations behind being super being some sort of "supremacy" is probably the best developed bit of philosophy in the MCU universe. I dont particularly agree with it, but I dont know if its the delivery, the simplicity in the logic, or the obvious common sense underlying in it from someone living in that world, but it holds together.

That bit btw Morbius and Loki talking about purpose is why I like this show, it's more talky than it needs to be, more tangentional than I'm used to with Marvel poo poo. It's pretty good.

Did they also have some kind of gun that just looks kind of like the sticks? You get hit with them you get stuck in time depending on their control. Seems powerful to me and they all seem heightened in skill and strength too. Its like ppl forgot how easily Loki got his rear end handed to him at first

Kang is not Nathaniel Richards in the comics. They're both time travelers but they're distinct ppl in most timelines. E: they share a name tho. One is the father of Reed richards the other is a descendant with the same name Shageletic fucked around with this message at 12:09 on Jul 8, 2021 |

Vintersorg posted:That was a great episode and I do not read comics. Just information gleamed from posts and videos on youtube. While I am not a fan of cliffhangers cause I am impatient I cannot wait to delve more into this story. This was the best of the Disney+ shows and stuck every landing. I think this is gonna be the great dividing line. You'll like how Loki ended if you like delving and exploring the concept. If you're just trying watch a superhero movie and uninterested in doing that, it feels like you're gonna be dissapointed. Personally I loved it. But I'm an immense nerd.

BrianWilly posted:Pro-tip: a fictional character can be as vile and irredeemable as they want as long as it's interesting or compelling to watch. A little late on this but I think the point of contention is that it seema like Wandavision wasn't deep enough or introspective enough to realize or grapple with how villainous Wanda's actions were. Rambeau's last line, the focus on Wanda's tragedy, it felt like the writer's had been captured by their own main character and not the effects or significance of her actions.

HootTheOwl posted:I disagree because the series was so short there's no reason it couldn't have been 10/12 episode season 1. Instead they made it 6 so they could poll the fans (my wife gets these surveys for just about everything we watch on D+) and they're going to tailor the next season based around this instead of finishing the story. Then itd be like every Marvel show that has 12 episodes, only 6 of them are good? Im glad we got no filler and a solid base for a second season without any lovely subplots or characters.

Baronash posted:I felt like the monologue at the end was overacted to an almost grating degree, but that aside, what about it was supposed to be so revelatory to Loki that it changed his outlook completely? The motivation behind the TVA as described by Kang is more or less what gets laid out in the first episode of the show, give or take a couple of space lizards. Thats what I thought was especially neat about the season. The whole thing was about Loki's moral journey. Everything around him is the same but the Loki in the 6th episode is so different than the one in the first its insane. And they somehow made it believable?
