Like how Cap took out that vampire in the Gruenwald comics.

Yeah, I’ve been enjoying how they subtly (and not so subtly) frame some of John’s scenes versus Steve.

Yeah, this was bad. Full on Bush-type we can do what we want stuff. Made me dislike the Dora this episode.

Ayo’s “we can go wherever we please” bit was unsettling, for the implications. I’m still made they cut out Bucky and Black Widow being true loves from the comics.

Was anyone else irked by Ayo’s “the Dora Milaje have jurisdiction wherever they please” line? Maybe it’s because I lived through the last 20 years in the US but man that brought back bad memories of 2003 and Bush. Whoever you are, you can’t just do extrajudicial assassinations!

I’m definitely not one to gatekeep or say “Why didn’t you read the comics!?” but I am surprised how many people are shocked at John Walker’s arc. If only because google exists and also there are dozens of those annoying instagram or twitter accounts with “Geek Facts” or “Marvel Trivia” that either say the obvious or…

Watanabe dying in KotM was fine, it was the arc, but he should have been the main character of that film, rather than the awful and insufferable Russells. And how was Dance not playing an older version of Hiddleston from Skull Island?

How do you get Serizawa’s son, have him pilot a mecha and hate kaiju and DO NOTHING with that?!

I mean, he was the absolute most insufferable character in King of the Monsters so I’m glad he was barely in this, but egads everyone else was also bad.

I still don’t get how that ending makes sense both as an end of Steve’s story or in the wider MCU narrative.

Good point!

Probably but if they kill off Boomerang I’ll be annoyed.

Every time I’ve seen that show (maybe five episodes) I’ve wondered if that’s his real voice or a bit.

Ackles? So what, is Batman going to sound like he’s doing a gravely bad parody of Bale’s Bat voice the entire time?

Apparently anyone can, if Sam is able to. The comics have danced around it a lot at some cases making it more restricted (when Bucky was Cap, they explicitly said his metal arm was the one reason he could use the shield vs. any normal human, since Comics!Bucky has no powers), to not (such as Sam being Cap). Movies…

Seriously. If anything screamed miniseries or at most two-season finite show, it’s this. I tried and tried to like the show since the book is one of my top 5 novels of all time, but from Fuller’s design choices to the drawn out, very loose adaptation...

If only it had been like a single season or a miniseries, with a more grounded tone. I still can’t believe they took the road/crime novel tone and aesthetic of the book and went full Fuller-y colorful weird trippy vibes.

The problem with the human element of KotM was you had actually interesting stuff with Ken Watanabe and Charles Dance, but they were pushed aside for the whole family stuff and Coach Taylor aside, Kyle Chandler was godawful horrible in that film. If they’d stuck with the 2014 film’s weighty and introspective tone on…

Only so Patrick Stewart can yell “NO! NOOOOOOO!”

He was jacked in the first film, but with the makeup, lighting, his cheekbones, he looked smaller.
