TFA has a singular purpose which was to remove the stain of the prequel trilogy by having the viewer feel like they were watching ANH all over again. Figuring that SW, like the Marvel movies, are studio run films, JJ is fine.

The actor hasn’t done anything since 2002 according to IMDB, so they could probably recast him with...say...Chris Pine.

On that cover Wonder Woman looks like a double amputee. Even Rob Liefeld would be ashamed of that.

Eight episode miniseries.

This goes some way to confirming my feeling about S7. Whereas every other series appears to have been based on books, with connective tissue that makes sense of the big scenes, this last batch of episodes felt more like it was based on notes.

Also perhaps the best portrayal of Captain America ever, even in his limited appearance. “A soldier with a voice that could command a god—and does.”

Born Again isn’t just one of the best Daredevil comics, it’s one of the single best comic books period. There is so much great stuff in it — the fact that each of the first six issues of the arc begins with an image of Matt Murdock asleep (the first issue in his bed, the second issue on the streets, and so on), that…

Agreed. Saying Ragnarok is a bad title is to completely disregard the culture and mythos that Thor is based around. It’s logic like this that resulted in the US getting “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” instead of “Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone” because publishers thought American’s aren’t…

“Ragnarok” is cryptic?

The tweets and articles won’t do this one justice, folks - you have to see the video. See how angry he was, how combative he was, like he wanted to pick a fight with the press corps, with his critics, with America. Surreal.

I say this without exaggeration or hyperbole-

Seems to be in a very nebulous “sort of” canon, or not at all. Sort of like how Incredible Hulk with Edward Norton still sort of happened, but in broad strokes, and just subconsciously replace Norton with Mark Ruffalo. Marvel can just say “it didn’t really happen” and what is Sony going to do?

Nobody wants Sony Spiderverse films. NOBODY WANTS THIS SHIT!

Unless it’s actually connected to the MCU spider-man, which it isn’t, I don’t give a flying fig about it.

There was a 6-month old when we went to see GotG2.

Just as well. X-Files pioneered the bullshit “Empty Puzzle Box” style of serialized storytelling that ruined other genre shows like Lost and BSG a decade later. Carter and Co. were making up the entire Syndicate arc as they went along, and the more they tried to tie the loose ends together, the dumber it got.

“The odd thing about Marvel people is they seem eternally surprised that some critics think their ABC shows are terrible. Which they are.”

So I’m thinking this might be the thing that gets Perlmutter shitcanned. Think about it: Until now, Marvel has had mostly successes. Granted, there have been some creative misfires (Iron Man 2, Dark World) and dead ends (the Norton Hulk), but no embarrassments. There has been nothing on the scale of Batman & Robin or G…

Even after a great season, AoS is still about 75% crap.

I was going to say something similar ... I don’t think this looks any worse at all than I remember AOS looking. .....but I also think AOS, while accidentally having its moments, has sucked more often than not.
