I get it. Some people prefer their meals with a bit more body.

Or at least to sell ghost meat!

Agreed to all of this. Plus it would mean Ravva/Rhodey was actually fighting using the War Machine Armor. I mean I guess I could buy that the Skrull Skull Sucker tech would give her access to whatever security codes were necessary to activate the armor and Skrull copying powers are good enough to copy biometrics like…

Gravik: What? An alien took the form of Nick Fury to deceive me!? I am shocked! Who knew such an alien species who can perfectly copy anyone else exists!

Oh, I agree with you there! I am fine with the president character doing something stupid, especially since Nick explicitly calls him out on that. I am more annoyed how this plot development leads to basically a major cliffhanger, that logically could have major impact on the MCU going forward. Along with the global…

The big issue for me (among several big issues) is how the series ends with an obvious attempt to set up season 2, when of course there will almost certainly not be a season two.

I am reminded of one Christmas when I was a kid. I was opening a present and got super excited to see what was apparently a set of TMNT action figures. But it turned out to be a case for STORING the figures, not any of the figures themselves. Same energy!

That is a lot of money! I have to wonder where it is all going. There have been a few pretty good action set pieces compared to other TV shows, but it doesn’t look like a $200 million budget!

Like most of these MCU D+ series, it is frustrating to me how the narrative sets up some very wide scale and ambitious pieces, but ultimately has to be limited both in terms of budget and the needs of the larger MCU continuity. There is a LOT going on in this series with Earth shattering implications, but we know…

So on the one hand, the convoy battle was pretty impressive for a TV show that has to be shot on a budget. On the other, it was not as impressive as the films would have been, which is an unfair comparison, but those comparisons will come up since these D+ shows are trying to connect directly to the movies.

Meh, the only Wheel of Time prequel I would be vaguely interested in would be a mini series set during the end of the Age of Legends, immediately before and during the War of Power. I would want to see a totally fantastical society run by magic-fuelled technology, a high-tech magical civilization, something rarely seen…

My kids really want a Dogman animated film or series. Surprised someone at Netflix or elsewhere isn’t already working on that. There is already a Captain Underpants series.

I remember the first episode had a cameo from Sam Jackson’s Nick Fury himself, and obviously Phil was a character directly from the MCU. And didn’t Sif show up for a while? So anyway, yeah obviously AoS was very intentional about its connection to the MCU, even if that relationship was never reciprocal. One detail I…

That is an interesting idea, at least for characters like Black Widow and Hawkeye who intentionally have attempted to keep a low public profile. But yeah, I could see people being confused about Captain America like, “oh, there is some weird guy running around cosplaying as this WWII propaganda figure. It is unclear…

I agree with you, though I think making the Agents of SHIELD officially canon for the MCU does create some complexities, but nothing that can’t be dealt with. I am curious to see how the MCU introduces the mutant characters and if they will get back to Inhumans at all (other than alt-universe cameos). I haven’t…

Years ago, I was a PhD student for English at a pretty prestigious university. To help pay for tuition, I got a gig as a TA for a business writing class. For one assignment, students were given a case study, based on a real case, where they were asked to to imagine themselves as the CEO of a manufacturing company who…

I could believe the Skrulls are using some en hanced version that is safer. In the comics, Iron Man eventually develops and safe version of Extremis, though somewhat less powerful. I don’t think that idea  ever came up in the MCU other than Stark finding a way to remove the Extremis from Pepper at the end of Iron Man…

Right, I agree about his Super Skrull status. I was wondering about the Extremis process specifically. Both in the sense of connections to AIM/ Stark Tech and the scientists helping to develop Super Skrull tech (not sure of they are also Skrulls or sympathetic humans, or what). And the fact that the AIM version of…

Right, I am not sure how long “Bob” had been replaced by a Skrull. Like I would assume the swap was relatively recent since keeping the human alive in the mind-reading booth at FukuSkrulla would have a logical time limit. I mean if the swap had been made many years in the past, it would make sense that SkrullBob might…

I am obviously over thinking this, but in the rush to hit the plot points, the story jumps over a lot of details I wonder about. I mean first off, wouldn’t the rebel Skrulls be very keen to prevent any human civilians from discovering their bodies, but Gravik just keep killing Skrulls and leaving them out unburied in…
