I just find it weird that nobody with that project is able (or willing) to clearly state if this will be animated or live-action. They’ve been deliberately vague about it ever since the first press release, and that’s been puzzling, to say the least.

Ah, but see, you lost me there : “The Nu-Trek films are hollow ‘fun’ films that weren’t bad, but they also weren’t Trek.” since that’s the highly subjective, default complaint every single self-proclaimed Trek fan has had at some point against an incarnation or another of the franchise.

I don’t disagree on SW, but I couldn’t disagree more on the Trek front. Trek movies have been action movies for the past 20+ years, and JJ did a fine job of capturing the space adventure feel of TOS, in my book, and finding new actors to fill those iconic parts.

C’mon, you can’t expect the Who fandom to use nuance & subtlety, and to realize that Moffat, just like RTD before him (and Chibnall in 2018), doesn’t necessarily have the final say on the Who franchise, and can’t do whatever he wants with it (or rather, whatever the most vocal fans would want).

If anything, I find this particular grade too high. The direction was a mess, the writing had problems (then again, that’s nothing new for the DC/CW shows), the acting was uneven, and overall, I felt it just wasn’t up to the first part, which was less all over the place.

“- Where do you do the Death Stroke ?

IIRC my years of watching Impact (*sigh*), for the longest time, the “zoom in on each strike/move” situation only happened with one particular ringside cameraman, which made it pretty noticeable when the action changed corners or spilled to the floor.

IIRC, even before STD had finished shooting, it already made more money than it cost thanks to the foreign distribution rights and the Netflix deal.

Absolutely, but here, somehow, I’m not feeling it as much as I expected to. The laidback, jokey scenes with his bff Billy, the guitar, the somewhat comfy bunks, and so on... it’s a far cry from the Vietnam hell comic-book Frank has lived through.

Funnily enough, I was kind of disappointed by how & what Kandahar turned out to be. I don’t know if it was the directing of the botched mission sequence or just the fact that I kind of struggle with the way this particular Punisher is written/acted, but it just fell flat for me.

Re: Marvel, it’s simply because early on, Perlmutter just didn’t want to spend much money on big name composers, and Feige had never really been a movie score guy, ie it was near the bottom of his list of “things to fight for in a Marvel movie”.

Easily Ultron, despite being strongly disappointed by that movie.

Well, there’s a cameo from a Green Lantern, at some point, but probably not what you’d expect or hope for.

The problem with that “character study” approach is that, as far as most people around me are concerned, Burnham is the most boring character in her own show, constantly outshone by Lorca, Stamets, or Saru.

Honestly far from sold on Sonequa’s work on the show, at the very least as a lead : she’s still the least interesting character on STD, to me, and although a huge part of that is due to the writing, the acting still bothers me, here and there.

Let’s just hope it’s not another one of those rushed 37-minutes-and-done Discovery episodes...

Eh, I’m still convinced we’ll get Cap raising the hammer as mankind’s last stand vs Thanos, one way or another.

This scene is straight out of the comics, though.

So, basically, that Eight Legged Freaks scene but with ants instead of spiders.

Nah. At least Krrish looked pretty good in his suit, and felt like some thought went into making it look simple but stylish.
