Barry Convex posted:The social media impressions for WandaVision are mostly positive, but my main takeaway from them is that at least the first three episodes (which are the only ones made available to critics) mostly stick to the sitcom-pastiche format, and that it’s a slow burn with respect to the broader plot that establishes how exactly this alternate reality came to be and can exist in the post-Endgame MCU. I think you may be right. Having to delay FaWS might bite them in this regard because FaWS looks like the show that would establish the new status quo of the MCU post Endgame along with Far From Home.

Teek posted:It also sounded like the episodes are shorter, but no exact run time was given that I’ve seen yet. Maybe they are sticking with an actual 23-24 minute sitcom length? I understand the pastiche hook, but that would kind of suck if all nine(?) episodes are like that. Hopefully they push closer to 30 minutes. The reason I heard for the last minute announcement of 9 episodes as opposed to 8 was that the first two episodes will be released at the same time and they're less than 30 minutes like the old sitcoms they're aping. I assume the rest will be 40 - 60 minutes.

ONE YEAR LATER posted:See I thought that too at first but there's a few times where they show computer images of the tower and it looks like the arc reactor is underground. Pepper says "you disconnected the transmission lines, are we off the grid?" when Tony's flying back from doing whatever he's doing, which is what confused me in the first place haha. He's disabling the power transmission lines to Stark Tower without a city permit. Rebel that he is.

Gavok posted:A note about the first commercial: the toaster very much resembles what Ultron's original form looked like in the comics. And the second commercial: Strucker is the scientist and leader of Hydra who supercharges the Twins. Both commercials are heavily referential to Wanda and Vision's "Creators." Stark, Ultron, Strucker.

GigaPeon posted:So I looked up SWORD on Wikipedia because I wasn’t sure what it’s deal was, and the part that references Wandavision is kinda spoilery so watch out. Sentient Weapon Observation Response Division. Is that what it always stands for? Not to my knowledge, usually the W stands for World and not Weapon. SWORD deals with extraterrestrial threats mainly.

I like to think that recast Pietro is just literally Evan Peters who happened to be hanging around New Jersey. I think he's just a guy, and this is a cheeky meta-joke, he's not literally from the Fox X-Men Universe.

Laughing Zealot posted:So, the Lagos paper towel advert. Any specific reference there I'm missing? Just continuing the trend of each advert being a reference to a traumatic point in Wanda's life. It was in Lagos that Wanda accidentally kills Wakandan bystanders in an office building while trying to save Cap and a crowd of civilians in the market at the start of CA: Civil War.

With the way the acting head of SWORD was asking relatively forcefully about if Wanda has ever had a codename or callsign, it makes me think he's an imposter or possibly from another universe where she is known as the Scarlet Witch. It also makes me wonder if they'll finally give her the moniker. I can't recall if she was ever referred to as a Witch in AOU but I don't think she was.

Phylodox posted:I read that as Hayward just being a dick to Jimmy some more, belittling him and his interest in superheroes. "Oh, does your favourite hero have a special name? What's her power rating? Wanna show us her trading card?" Extremely weird thing for him to get aggro about considering his ex-boss was an Air Force pilot with the callsign Photon but he could just be a dick.

Desperado Bones posted:Oof. The Spaniard guy who accidentally leaked this last episode character cameo got fired, people say there's another person credited for the dub. News says he deleted every social media he had. Oh super yikes. I'm friends with a person at one of the major special effects shops that works with Marvel all the time. I always ask which Marvel picture they're working on and have never gotten any response until the movie is out and then he's like "yeah I wish I had more time to work on deaging SLJ". It is incredibly serious business, like no cell phones in the office levels of serious.

Lammasu posted:I have a weird question. How does one get the job to make the fake CGI for trailer? Like is it a prestigious job? Is it like, "Johnson, I think you're ready to work on the fake Hulk." The special effects house typically doesn't get the entire movie or show and individual teams or artists get even less context for their shots and scenes than a person at the studio director level. My friend worked on Captain Marvel, Ant-Man and Wasp, and Endgame most recently. He told me after we saw Captain Marvel that he was imagining while working on it that it would need to be the length of two movies, and that the first one would take place almost entirely in space in a war between Kree and Skrull, like Carol falling to Earth would be a post-credits scene and that the whole thing took place in the 90s would be a twist. This is just to illustrate that the individuals have very little idea of how what their working on fits into a larger whole. That's one reason he just will not talk about anything related to what he's currently working on, he has very little idea of what would constitute an actual spoiler.

Desperado Bones posted:Yeah, indeed. I think she got the "twin sensing the other twin dying because magical twin bond" trope. At this point I think Wanda being able to sense death or extreme pain in a close genetic relation is part of her power set in the MCU because it was Billy, pointedly not Wanda, who sensed that Vision was dying beyond the boundary of the Hex. Although how synthezoids pass on genes is a whole other can of worms.

My thoughts are that Agnes is in WitPro and that's why SWORD hasn't IDed her. The hints towards her dead husband as well, perhaps that's the case she's a witness to. Jimmy wouldn't be very outspoken about when he sees her on the TV and say to everyone: "Hey, that person is in Witness Protection." I think the Agatha Harkness hints are a red herring.

That montage made me think they were doing a spin on MVP and combining him with Walker a bit. Will this series have the guts to make Flag Smasher a superhero like they're telegraphing? Or more fodder for the Thunderbolts?

I got just a whiff of Antony Starr Homelander vibes from the Good Morning America interview at the start of the ep. Maybe it's just because everyone seems insincere on the morning talk shows.

Sentinel Red posted:Aren't sorcerers natural talents with a limited range, while wizards learn it all from books (and wear dumb hats)? Or something. That's the distinction in tabletop RPGs like D&D but in general they're interchangeable. In the MCU, Wanda is a "Witch" (natural talent) and Strange is a "Sorcerer" (learned skill) but comic titles are just poo poo that sounds cool.

tsob posted:I also wonder how you think you can portray anti-establishment revolutionaries who aren't violent without also being completely ineffective; especially in a story about punchmens. The show did this with the Flag Smashers in earlier episodes relatively effectively: They have the Super Soldier Serum which has opened the option of subduing people who are trying to kill them. They can disarm and knock-out people with guns relatively easily because they have the serum. There is no reason (as of yet) for Karli to bomb an a building full of people she has already beaten. I do believe that somebody floated the idea earlier that the SSS is beginning to have adverse effects on the morality of those who have used it - as it has in all SSS subjects except for approximately three.

Tony loves fighting his friends! This is established in Iron Man 2 when he blasts Rhodey through about 4 walls when Rhodey tried to prevent him from operating his Iron Man suit while pants-pissingly drunk. It's a rite of passage.

The only small issue with a Season 2 would be that the name would have to change to Captain America and the White Wolf.

VagueRant posted:Wait, were the guys trying to kill everyone in the cargo stacks in ep 3 just bounty hunters? I'd assumed that was the power broker's goons the whole time. And who put the bounty out if not the power broker? Yes, the series as a whole felt very disjointed and rushed. They cut and ADRed the hell out of this thing.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:There are a lot of irons in the fire now, eh? Seems like the marvel output is gonna have to double to keep up with all these side characters like US Agent and Zemo along with the main characters. I wonder if that was the plan before covid Marvel has done a good job of developing a stable of heroes but a very poor job of developing recurring villains, very odd when you consider cape books as a genre! I'm glad they're catching up a bit.

twistedmentat posted:I like when Taskmaster fights someone that has an ability that he can't mimic. Like in All New Wolverine where Laura just stabs him trough the hand with her foot claw. They always forget about the foot claws Mimicking the fighting style of Laura or Logan who have no need to play defense is a bad idea Tasky.

ANOTHER SCORCHER posted:Childlike! Yes, absolutely. The goofy and sexless Black male has become a staple of DisneyCIA movies: John Boyega’s Finn and Anthony Mackey’s Captain Falcon with the precocious and quippy Black female (Letitia Wright’s pre-cancellation Shuri for example) fulfilling a mirror role. Who is the real audience for these? The 90% white audiences which need to be pandered and flattered with a non-threatening, apolitical, trademarked and ready to serve “Blackness”. I know you're a weirdo and this kind of posting is your gimmick and that the MCU is largely devoid of sex but Sam Wilson's first scene in Winter Soldier ends by Natasha and Him eye-loving each other. Whether you want to now make the criticism that this was because the Directors were worried that some people would think Sam and Steve were gay is up to you.
