Marvel's Movie/TV Universe v2 (SPOILERS)

[bosk1]

Yeah, that's what I thought too.  Cheatsheet isn't some prestigious news source of anything, but I've never known them to be so blatantly wrong about something before, so this threw me.

[Adami]

God damn this Inhumans show is dumb.

Medusa briefly looks at moon.
Girl with her: OMG ARE YOU FROM THE MOON?!?!

"That ring? I saw the exact same ring on the guy that was briefly shown on the news that one time"

Who the hell is writing this?


Also Karnak is one of my favorite Marvel characters. This version is not Karnak. Not even remotely beyond the tattoos.

Just finished watching Spider-Man: Homecoming.

IT WAS AWESOME!!!

I don't know if we could call it the best Spider-Man movie ever, but.... damn, it's the best Spider-Man movie ever. The idea of a teenage Peter Parker was executed brilliantly, the backstory was not once again spelled out (You just get his nosy friend asking how it happened and he says he was bitten by a spider... of course he was bitten by a spider, we all know it, let's move on. Smart move), and it was just credible - he was making mistakes and showing he has still a lot to learn both in his attitude, and with the way he moves around with the webs.

Sure, the ever present cliches of school are there - the guy that picks on him, the huge cool party where everyone's there, the prom drama etc, but for the rest, it all flows well. The story is nice and not yet "Let's have Spider-Man fighting a famous enemy", the humor is as always brilliant (loved the guy at the end coming out of the toilet when Happy was trying to talk!), and Tony Stark was not a gimmick to draw more people in but he was coherent to the story.

Really, a fun enjoyable movie and with a teen Spider-Man completely and totally nailed. Loved also how the post-credits sequence was just a self parody of those things 

[Adami]

I'm also pretty sure someone said "We need a Felicity Smoke in this show. And really....don't try to hide it"





And yes, Spiderman Homecoming is amazing. I really loved it. Can't wait to buy it on Blu Ray and watch it again.

Forgot to say that the chick in school that had no friends and seemingly didn't care for anything was awesome.

Except when they made her MJ. They really could have skipped that.

It was like in The Dark Knight Rises when you find out JGL's real name was Robin at the end.

Black Panther Trailer #2.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5pHFvMQZCI

[bosk1]

I didn't quite have the



reaction.  But still, pretty cool.  And that's the thing with the Marvel films.  Maybe we are getting to the point where we're getting too saturated with the Marvel universe and/or superheroes in general.  And maybe some of the stories haven't been fantastic.  But they just make fun, visually cool films that are a blast to watch.  This one looks like no exception.  Looking forward to it.

[Adami]

Yea, I'm with Bosk on liking the trailer but not being in awe. I liked the first one a lot more.


I have 2 major concerns.

1) It's again doing the Marvel thing of the good guy fighting the bad version of himself. It's literally two black panthers. I mean, luckily they got two insanely amazing actors in the roles, but I was hoping for something a little less blatant.

2) The fighting scenes are looking VERY video gameish. I'm sure the graphics will be better when they're done, but they're doing way too much over the top Matrixesque fight scenes, which doesn't feel very Black Panther.

Beyond that, I'm still very very excited for this movie.

[aurorablind]

So I just catched up on The Inhumans...
.......my God...it's just the worst.... Seriously. This makes Iron Fist feel like the best show ever.

[BlackInk]

It is seriously bad on almost every level.

[Adami]

It is seriously bad on almost every level.

I'll maintain that the acting from Black Bolt and Medusa isn't too bad. The rest? Ugh. It really does make Iron Fist look good.

[BlackInk]

I'm actually having a hard time blaming any of the actors, it must be absolutely impossible to deliver a good performance when this is the material they have to work with. Black Bolt is a performance that's easy to excuse here because he doesn't have to deal with any of the abysmal dialogue.

Oh I can totally blame a number of them, but the worst is Crystal. She is just awful.

[King Postwhore]

 the actor that plays Black Bolt is amazing another shows that I've seen.

[Adami]

He's doing a great job actually. He's just given almost nothing of substance to work with. I feel for the guy.

[King Postwhore]

Oh I totally agree.

[soupytwist]

So 'Thor : Ragnarok' is getting great reviews (98% on RT at the minute).  Supposed to be a decent story but is being called the funniest marvel film to date,  probably due to being directed by Taika Waititi (to anyone who hasn't seen 'What we do in the Shadows' - watch it).

[NoseofNicko]

(to anyone who hasn't seen 'What we do in the Shadows' - watch it).

Agreed. One of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen.

+1!

Inhumans:
Anson Mount and Iwan Rheon (Maximus) are great actors, so I hope this show doesn't hurt them in the long run.

When Mordis(?) was revealed I laughed so hard. That is one of the worst costumes I've ever seen...

[MirrorMask]

One more appreciation for What we do in the shadows! brilliant take on the whole (saturated ) vampire trend.

[BlackInk]

I wouldn't really have minded Mordis' costume if they hadn't made his character such a goofball. They set him up to actually be cool, but he, just like everything/one else in this show, is just so lame.

[gzarruk]

I just hope they find better writers/producers for the show if they, hopefully, get a 2nd season. I don't think it's that bad, though.

I'm just posting to this thread, so I don't know if this has been discussed or not, but I think they should make people crossover from the other Marvel TV shows, so Inhumans gets more views/rating, that could benefit them a lot.

[jingle.boy]

I'd bet my life savings that Inhumans (as a standalone show) will be buried and never spoken of ever again.  Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Agents of Shield abandons the "Inhuman" classification for Daisy and YoYo

It's really bad dude. It's better off left to die. Better for them, better for everyone. Let the actors all move on to better projects.

At least it keeps me entertained untill Agents of Shield comes back

Watch The Flash, or Legends, or even Arrow or Supergirl if you want.

Big fan of Flash and Arrow here, been following all their seasons. LoT is fine, I only watch it because it's connected to the other two. Supergirl I really wanted to like, but it's just not for me (too much teenage drama)

[BlackInk]

Didn’t someone here say that Inhumans was already cancelled?

[Metro]

If it's not already cancelled it will be before the season ends.

Iron Fist and Inhumans have one thing in common: Scott Buck. He's the showrunner for both shows. He's also the man responsible for the abomination that was the last 3 seasons of Dexter. I don't know who thought it was a good idea to hire him, but after both of his shows being received this badly I hope he stays far far away from anything Marvel related.

[gzarruk]

Didn’t someone here say that Inhumans was already cancelled?

I heard someone say this season was being marketed as "the complete series", so it sounded like they secretly canceled it behind the scenes.

[bosk1]

Anyone see the Infinity Wars trailer from D23/Comicon?  It leaked and is out there.  Hard to tell without having seen Ragnarok, but it looks like it may have a big Ragnarok spoiler.  I won't say any more, other than:  wow!

[bosk1]

This is kinda cool:  https://www.yahoo.com/movies/apos-watch-entire-mcu-order-180815826.html

Very cool list. Just noticed two flaws.

They put Avengers Assemble as the first Avengers movie for some reason.

They put Inhumans as something you should watch.

[ariich]

They put Avengers Assemble as the first Avengers movie for some reason.

Maybe because it is?

It's just the UK name for The Avengers.
