I mean she could still be THE taskmaster. She was mind zonked and just got set free. We have no idea what she’s like. Kurylenko could pop up in the roll again down the line and have all the whatever the fuck anyone is looking for.

They actually do show her watching videos, of the Avengers specifically.

I don’t think subscriptions even need to be soft. Looking at a dead box office for a year plus, and with streaming services raking in serious money git that stuff on streaming is an obvious move. Warner just opted to prioritize sign ups, whatever the reason. New content gets sign ups.

Like wise it isn’t just labor.…

I was thinking more in terms of how they use specific bits of fight choreography and set pieces. We see multiple Widows do that walking down a wall, repelling thing. Yelena uses a lot of the same leg sweeps, choke holds and flippity flopping as Natasha. Especially towards the end she beats up dudes in a hallway, using…

She wasn’t mind controlled, though. She had the same psychological conditioning as Nat.

They really didn’t give him much to do besides explain the whole back story. He got a couple of moments or character driven bits, but he was mostly there to tell us his sinister history and sinister plan.

Which can be great. But not just sort of dumped in.

And they even cut away to a flash back so Rachel Weisz could ex…

HBOMax also didn’t get permission or renegotiate deals with other parties to dump stuff on streaming for free. Leading to a legal and ethical shit show.

I think anyone predicting theaters being “done” doesn’t know much about the theater business.

She literally says “I was cycled through The Red Room four times before I even met you” to Natasha.

Yeah “Melina is the real villain” is ignoring a whole lot of “Melina spent decades being mind controlled and is literally and older generation of Black Widow”.

It’s a bit of shame. The actor playing Dreykov was great, very creepy and off kilter. But he’s just a big exposition monster. By that point in the movie Rachel Weisz is also basically an exposition machine, even as her character was likewise well drawn and interesting to start.

I’d like to point out that the state of US broadband means it’s unlikely you’re getting a 4k signal most of the time.

Wow. Kinja jacked that right up. Corrections for read ability:

1) An awful lot of it is. *Like the characters we are watching*, including specific plot beats. You might have noticed by now that you are watching Adaptations.

I think what tends to drop out a little in the discussion with Black Widow is that while her first appearances were a little thin and plenty Cheesecakey. Her into introduction also involved her walking into a building and tossing 20 people around like rag dolls through the power of fights gud.

Why would he be a Thor variant? The Comic character has about ten thousand clones, so there should be a bunch of variants of Mobius running around.

ADR is often REALLY noticable. Audio recorded in a given space sounds a particular way, and it’s almost impossible to recreate or match in a studio. That’s aside from lip sync issues that lead to most ADR you see being lines where the character’s mouth isn’t visible.

Because they didn’t have rights to the games, and Sapkowski was still fighting with CD Project.

There are already cheap sonic and other jewelry cleaners that can be used by those with impairments, including battery operated ones that would be more mobile.
