The first scene he appears in in the MCU Pratt is recreating the opening to the 1st Raiders in South America. 

My only real issue with this episode was the setting. How it all occurs in this abandoned amorphous hospital / orphanage or whatever and all it really takes to get out of a battle is run a few minutes in one direction. Then you can hang out, chat. No biggie. 

I’m unclear on protocol here. So his head is displayed from the Tower wall for 2 weeks or just 1?

If it’s any consolation Brexit in the long run should cost scores of jobs; so there’s that to look forward to.

Nothing like 13 hours of characters with super strength using it almost exclusively to break padlocks. Endlessly ... on an infinite loop.

I was enjoying F/WS literally up until that moment.

How do they not rewatch that during editing and not say “ok we need to cut this whole ‘party’ scene”?

Might have something to do with him having next to no range as an actor perhaps?

Jackson had shown signs of it before, but this is the film where he truly established his style of action and lost a huge chunk of his credibility as a director. His “spiraling sequence of improbabilities / rollercoaster” style of action scenes are weightless and meandering. The style greatly hinders his ability to

I both like the character and the scene and think it wouldn’t work at all in the film.

The bridge scene. My lord.

Oh I think the film is real fun; just that people pointing to it as more grounded than average superhero films are misguided. A few of the action beats are a little off. Cap and Widow surviving the collapsing building for example.

I was rewatching CA: Winter Soldier the other day and the amount of ammunition spilled in that film is sillier than a teenager with Spider powers.

Won’t watch it there either.

Who the hell really wants any of the FoX-Men in the MCU anyway other than a one off joke here and there. Even Quicksilver in that series was a better scene than an actual character.

Prime has some good UK shows as well. Surprised they haven’t mined that more. 

The Mandarin twist is one of precious few things that works in IM3

Plus WILTY shoots for people good on panel shows and not just the biggest stars. Not sure a US audience will be patient with that.

WILTY works b/c of Brydon, Mitchell and Mack excellent rhythms with each other. I see little chance of an American cast being given the rope and space to accomplish anywhere close. Especially if you factor in CW casting. 22 year olds ... usually not that funny.

Cassie Lang went from like 6 to 17 in the 5 years between AntMan 2 and Endgame for some reason.
