I'm afraid Ant Man, as my son pointed out as well, looks like the micro version of Iron Man/Iron Monger battle from the movie that started this ball rolling. That will be a shame, but the trailer sure points that way with Ant Man/Yellowjacket.

SPOILERS AND CONJECTURE BELOW: Well, I loved the movie as I watched it as a fanboy, and the inner critic in me was sharpening the pencil. But let's leave it at "flawed potential mastepiece." Four things I would have really loved to see? 1) Banner, and then Hulk's "nightmares" at the behest of the Scarlet Witch (so

They'll need legal representation. I know the obvious answer, but I'd rather they Called Saul!

Thanks. My son said that at the movie. "Those are the old engines - the one Iron Man flew in. He redesigned them for Winter Solder" I was so damn proud!

I think it's the "Lone Ranger" play. The mask, on the 50's TV show, gave the producers the upper hand in any talent negotiations. If it's a problem, fire the guy and put a mask on the new one. Not knowing what Ruth Negga is gonna be doing, the makeup, though inconvenient, is very cool, and could hide almost any

Jiaying bargain? Why? SHIELD was invading her territory, under the guise of a meeting. Clearly with the Inhumans weaker, in number and most likely power, than SHIELD, she took the move that was "strong," while still devastating. Also, she shot herself in the shoulder, not the chest.

So was anyone else waiting for Lincoln to "free," you know, Deathlok, and then wait for the internets to explode?

Loving Kyle Maclachlan on this show, but still heartbroken that he won't be "Maximus the Mad!" in The Inhumans, about 200 years form now! As usual, getting a movie actor on the tube classes up the joint by a lot, and Kyle chewing the scenery is beautiful as always. Let's stop talking about race and sex of the

Anyone notice the alley in "Milwaukee" was the SAME one from Better Call Saul in "Chicago," - the flashback episodes? Shot from the same angle as well.

DD uses tons of wire work. But again, dark.

I think it's time to talk more about the music in each show. DD uses it well and sparingly. AOS has a "soundtrack" (not really music, but this horrible droning of tones that has taken over TV in the last 15 years - see "Smallville" for ex) that is wall to wall. It's used to imply action and tension in too many

Great point. This is why Joss Whedon has jumped the Disney ship. He said so himself in too many interviews.

There IS NO HELL'S KITCHEN anymore. It was called that when Frank Miller was writing Daredevil comics, but for over 30 years the name was changed, by realtors, to "Clinton" — and that area "benefited" almost instantly with skyrocketing rents and sale prices from the upscale naming. Calling the real area Hell's

Red Hook as well, and Bushwick. MUCH EASIER to permit and move around. "Elementary" is doing the same thing. Now that we're having this Brooklyn "Renaissance," there are a lot of locations on these New York centric shows that haven't yet been shot to death, a la nearly anything on the Law & Order series.

DD's lighting is appropriately moody and very cinematic. I love every shot in that show. Agents, for the most part, sticks to "flat" lighting, which is a shame. If DD FEELS more like a movie than TV, this is one huge reason. AOS could benefit from a similar aesthetic choice. BTW, there's plenty of CGI in DD, but

Don't forget the evisceration of the mom in the remake of "The Parent Trap"

Unfortunately, they always show someone biting the nails off, and also their entrails.

ATTENTION NETWORKS - you get what you deserve, because you canceled THE MINDY PROJECT! All of these announcements should STRENGTHEN the sponsors' faith in the networks. Of the shows mentioned that I watched, it wasn't the lack of viewers that Darth Cancel found disturbing, it was the low quality. Even "Marry Me,"

Yeah I'd watch this. I'd watch the HELL out of this!

At last AOS is hitting a stride that has taken it beyond bland! Spie
shows have a rich tradition of being interesting, except for this show!
But now, bringing family and some of the quirks of the MCU into things
has really heated things up. I love the idea of that "family reunion"
meal at the end - a collection of
