Anyone think that Jaime will be involved in Cleganebowl? IIRC, Bran’s vision in the books includes three figures - a hound, a giant, and a beautiful golden knight.

I don’t see it as being terribly appropriate thematically, as Jaime/Cersei is going to be a whole thing all to it’s own.

Why doesn’t Wun Wun just bring a tree trunk that he could swing around to The Battle of the Bastards? It would’ve been useful in breaking through the flank.

The most tragic story in the whole MCU was Darcy Lewis getting totally forgotten about in all those post-The Dark World films. Maybe she can show up on Agents Of SHIELD.

I agree!

Huhhuh?

Gweneth Paltrow/Pepper screaming in the Iron Man movies is always a delight. See also the Monaco action sequence. It somehow never comes off as damsel in distressy but instead just how any reasonable person would react, and anytime you have someone acting reasonably in unreasonable situations it is comedic gold. And…

I could really see Rockwell having a role in a GotG film. He always has a slightly off-the-planet vibe to him anyway.

Rockwell would be more at home in a latter-day MCU film like RAGNAROK. The early days of the MCU were a bit less goofy and freewheeling. I think GOTG and ANT-MAN changed the tempo a bit.

What I like about the first Iron Man is it manages to make Pepper look believably freaked out by all the superhero stuff - which is entirely realistic - without taking away from the fact that she’s super competent as Tony’s executive assistant and the person running most of the day to day stuff at Stark Industries.

People would hate Gwyneth a lot less if she was as much Pepper Potts as RDJ is Tony IRL. She is wonderfully charming in the role.

I don’t know if it was his idea or the filmmakers’ to put obvious blotches of self-tanner on his palms, but it was just glorious.

Yeah, that and when she asks Coulson about the bomb he attaches to the door of Stane’s lab “Oh, wow! What’s that? It’s, like, a little device? It’s, like, a thing that’s going to pick the lock?”

I think it’s more “Meh” than very bad. It’s actually amazing they haven’t made a movie I wanted to skip during my recent re-watch of them all. This and Thor 2 aren’t great but they’re still totally watchable and have moments.

I’m not even a particularly big of a fan of the show, but I absolutely loved this. I thought it wasn’t just the best scene of the series but also one of the best moments in television history actually. It was just so well executed and genuinely surprising for once. I still get teary-eyed just thinking about it. About…

A few years ago now, my grandmother passed away. I was able to get time off work and come after she had slipped into a coma, and spent a week with my mom, aunts and uncles as she slowly slipped away, ultimately being present when her body passed over, holding her feet as her children held her hands and told her how…

The tower of Joy sequence isn’t there to underline Jon’s claim, but his identity.

I think what he means is that Killmonger wants to end Wakanda’s isolationism and “help” the rest of the world, or more specifically the African diaspora.

While Jordan’s Killmonger gets all the praise, I really like how T’Challa is presented in Black Panther. He’s shown as being less quippy than other MCU characters, which not only separates him from the pack, it also allows the supporting cast to play off his seriousness. Shuri, Okoye, M’Baku, and even Killmonger seem…

One of the great things about Black Panther is how the whole concept of Wakanda subverts the old imperialist Lost African Kingdom trope, where a Western explorer discovers some isolated, backwards tribe and is taken to be a god because he has, like, a box of matches or something. (Hello, King Solomon’s Mines.) Klaue…
