Oh they were totally setting up Eli (Isiah’s grandson) in this episode for a future ‘Young Avengers’ project (they finally gave him a few lines and allowed him to be on screen for more than a few seconds)
kind of a shame that in the comics he’s mostly retired by now. (decided to go to school, and later got replaced as…
So how long before they put Richmond FC in the Super League?
Even in the comics I’m never sure if we are meant to take him seriously or not.
I mean, it’s a guy dressed like a gimp with swords for hands
In general it’s pretty easy to present yourself as something you are not in social media without much proof or credentials required.
The Countess has a pretty long history in the comics (SHIELD agent, Nick Fury love interest, revealed as double agent working for Hydra, revealed as sleeper triple agent working for the Soviets’ Leviathan agency)
Most of these problems could have been avoided if they released this as a single player game
Just because someone is weak and bullied and later becomes powerful doesn’t mean he will be more empathetic to other people.
It was inevitable that John would have a breakdown from someone close to him being “Fridged” (in the comics it was his parents)
If Captain Marvel is ‘Military Propaganda’, what the hell are Transformers films?! (or any Michael Bay film for that matter)
Honestly, a New Gods movie written by Tom King would have probably been an incomprehensible nightmare.
Look, this sort of stuff can maaaaybe work in a surreal TV show like Legion, but not in a feature length movie.
FYI, Smiling Tiger was an actual character from the comics (unrelated to the Falcon) that was even a part of Zemo’s Thunderbolts for a short time.
They kinda dropped the ball with Nagel with him being just an amoral scientist who figured out the super-soldier serum from Isaiah’s blood.
In the comics he was the lead scientist in charge of the whole operation where they experimented on the 300+ black soldiers which led to Isaiah getting augmented.
Also, you have to…
I think that comparing this show\comic to the Boys is doing it a bit of a disservice.
I like that they didn’t make Walker straight up villainous, just someone who had a misunderstanding of what Steve stood for. (Someone who had a lot of “Guts”)
Yeah, the writer even acknowledged his mistake in the comic.
Yeah, but the season is only 8 episodes total.
(which might explain its rushed pacing compared to the comic)
That’s almost a given,
even if it’s animated, as soon as a TV show gets big actors to star as adapted characters, they want to give them more storylines and more stuff to do.
even without the actors thing, TV writers nowadays seem to hate focusing on only one or a few characters like in books or comics. (regardless of…
The guy playing him, besides being able to fight and speaking french, is basically Batroc in name only.
“Race hasn’t been talked about in the MCU before”
Kind of a shame the MCU is content with keeping Batroc as generic mercenery #4, since in the comics he’s one of the more fun B-list Cap villains (though he IS a bit of a French caricature)
I think there was some middle ground to be found here.
