And lo, the number of the rails shall be three. And three shall be the number. No more, no less. Two shall not be the number, unless immediately proceeding three. Four is right out.

In some ways it is worse, because apparently this 4-hour cut still ends on a cliffhanger, meaning he DID intend it to be a 2-parter or at least have a direct sequel someplace, meaning he couldn’t fit the story even into a block of time twice the length of what was expected.

I’m glad they’re approaching it as one-offs from the get-go, and not painfully sustaining something with cliffhangers and filler. They should be as long as they need to be to tell the story, then move on to something new. If that’s eight episodes of 30-50 minutes, or four episodes of 15 minutes, or six years of…

It ended at the most exciting possible moment it could have, and I was so excited for season 3...

I kind of wanted iron fist season 3...

Netflix has three huge issues, imo.

She did have a reaction, and then White Vision almost crushed her skull. And then he fought Vision, and left while Wanda was fighting off a powerful witch and trying not to get killed by the cops and then having to say goodbye to her family, and immediately after that she talks to Monica and then she takes off into…

In a way, White Vision is the result of what they were trying to do in Infinity War, separate the Mind Stone from Vision so he can live on without it.

No. That’s wrong.

I thought the show made it clear that Hex Vision didn’t transfer his memories, he just unlocked White Vision’s memories which were being supressed. That would include everything up until the moment he was killed by Thanos.

HexVision unlocked the memories that were there inside White Vision. Because White Vision is made of the original Vision material he has the same memory storage so these are original Vision memories. This is why he says “I am Vision” before he leaves.

After thinking about what you quote me on a little more, I can’t help but feel that you missed my point entirely. I’ll add to my second reply to you here:

Not claiming my comment is anything more than anecdotal. I literally ended my comment with “from my perspective.”

I don’t claim to be an expert on stats and things but I have been living in Beijing for the last five years (and travelling around the country for my job a lot until this whole thing happened) and nobody I know - friend, colleague, acquaintance - has had it or knows anyone else who has had it.

See you next week :)

Yep and while Inhumans were a fun aspect of Agents of SHIELD with their unique powers and social structures, it bombed HARD during the ill-fated Inhumans TV series after short run. After Disney buying out 20th Century Fox and reacquiring rights to X-Men back, you can pretty much see the writings on wall that Inhumans…

Same on every count. This show has definitely re-sparked my interest in the MCU after Endgame, which is kind of amazing considering I felt like I had closure to the story and was ready for the next thing. But NOPE, we’re now mining the B-listers (as far as the movies go) for great stories.

From one point of view, the people speaking out now are the people from “early Whedon”, i.e. even if he believed what he was saying he obviously wasn’t practicing it that well. On the other hand, I agree that having been told so often that he was a ‘feminist hero’ and a ‘visionary director’ that power got to his head…

I think part of the problem is that when Buffy came out his positions were far enough ahead of the curve that they *were* progressive and noteworthy, but as the world caught up and eventually surpassed him, his failings bring not just judgement for what he did wrong, but the feeling of betrayal. Carpenter’s far from…
