The Marvel comics and Mcu thread

Darc_Requiem · March 3, 2018

With Black Panther killing it at the box office, Infinity War being moved up to a April 27th release, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D returning from break tonight, and Season 2 of Jessica Jones coming next week. I thought it would be a good idea to get a Marvel TV and Movie thread up and running.

I'm a bit behind. Haven't watched Thor or Black Panther yet. =(

Love the movies but haven't really seen any of the TV shows. I saw a part of an episode of Daredevil and it seemed ok. Watched an episode of SHIELD and wasn't really impressed...

Shield starts off really slow. I almost quit during the first season. I think most people did, but after the Winter Soldier came out, the show picked up steam. Honestly, it's the best comic book TV show. It's gotten better with each season. The rest of them have been up and down. Arrow peaked Season 2, bottomed out season 4 and is okay now. Flash peaked Season 1 IMO. Legends is dumb fun. Supergirl is not something I can recommend. It has it's moments but it's honesty insulting to the male audience at times.

So Black Panther is at nearly 900 million now

po_pimpus · March 5, 2018

It really might hit a billion...

There is no might, it will. It only needs 103 million to hit a billion, it will get that in the US alone.

I liked Black Panther but didn't think it was amazing or anything like that. It felt more like a home rental movie tbh.

Crucades · March 6, 2018

Black people stepped up the robbery so they can pad the ticket sales for their mediocre movie tho, Ragnarok was ace tho.

If you think there are enough black people in America to account for Black Panther's $501 million box office and that some how they managed to account for the $398 million in foreign box office, you are the essence of stupidity. BTW that $398 million doesn't include China, Japan, or Russia.

Hopefully Season 2 is the same quality as the first seven episodes of Season 1. The show was excellent during the Cottonmouth arc.

Darc_Requiem · March 9, 2018

Anyone check out season 2 of Jessica Jones yet? I haven't had the chance yet. Curious to hear you all's opinion.

Hawkingbird · March 10, 2018

I watched the entire season. It's not as good as the first season. It moves at a much slower pace than the first season, there very little character development for Jessica and it doesn't have a real villain.

Darc_Requiem · March 10, 2018

That's disappointing

Is Luke in any of the episodes?

Darc_Requiem · March 11, 2018

I just got to episode 10. Jessica Jones season 2 is okay. Not as good as the first. I'll give it points for being consistent quality wise but it's consistently above average. I don't get the feeling that the showrunner had a really compelling story to tell. Felt more like they need to crank out a season before the Disney streaming service gets up and running. I think that if you liked the first season, you'll enjoy this one. However, if you weren't a fan of Jessica Jones before, this season won't change your mind.

Side note: Am I the only one that found Trish annoying as fuck?

Unlike the other netflix heroes there isn't a lot of source material to draw from for Jessica. After adapting the Kilgrave story the showrunners will need to create their own material if they want to keep things going as she doesn't have much else.

Darc_Requiem · March 11, 2018

@Hawkingbird Fair point. Since they didn't pair up Jessica with Luke, they've lost that story to tell.

Hawkingbird · March 11, 2018

As long as Luke and Jessica have their own shows I doubt they'll hook up again.

BullDancer · March 11, 2018

I wasn't in SRKs last Marvel thread since I regressed to a lurker. Were people riding that T'Challa meat pole in that thread too like the rest of the world?

So I finished Jessica Jones season 2. They basically turned Trish into Simpson from season 1. By that I mean, I thought the character was okay initially. However, by the end of the season I could not stand them. I found Trish completely unlikable at the end of the season. @Hawkingbird I disagree with you, the Season had a villain it was Trish

1)She has a fiance that was actually a good dude that she completely dicks over.

2)After Jessica lets it slip that Malcolm has a thing for her. She hooks up with him and uses him.

3)She gets high off of Simpsons inhaler and then practically forces it on Malcolm, a recovering addict.

4)After Jessica finds a way to keep her mother off of the Raft and get weekly visitation, she goes off half cocked, kidnaps Malcolm and the Doctor, which ultimately ends in his death.

5)She shoots Jessica's mother dead.

6)Lastly, she does all of this because she selfishly wants super powers. She literally pulls the type of shit hates her own mother for to do it.

I'm half joking about the villain thing but she's a terrible person. I liked her in season 1. I hate her character now.

Darc introduced himself in the new member thread by screaming "Wakanda Forever".

Hawkingbird · March 11, 2018

I'm on same page as you @Darc_Requiem . Trish's motivation and the way she went about making it happen is what I expect from a villain. Horgath ended up being more likable and I'm suppose to hate her.

I watched the first episode of Jessica Jones season 2 last night.

It bored me to death and I see no reason to try and watch the rest of them. It was Iron Fist levels of bad.

Netflix might have lost their hand at this thing.

Darc_Requiem · March 12, 2018

Black Panther crossed the billion dollar mark. It was the number one movie again. I think it may actually out gross The Last Jedi.

misterBee · March 12, 2018

Still haven't seen it.

At this rate I might as well wait for the Blu-ray. That's what I did for Thor...

BullDancer · March 14, 2018

Man, she don't look half bad. When she turn 18, he can give her that dick instead.

DangerousJ · March 16, 2018

I just watched Jess S2.

It was decent, but fell flat in someways without Killgrave or Luke Cage.

The attempt to delve into her past and have the plot revolve around that was a nice idea.

I’ve never read any of her comics, but the twist that happens 1/2 way shocked me.

That character and Jess’s complicated relationship in the last 7 episodes was interesting to watch.

However, The character of Trish almost comes off as a villain more than the above character.

She was extremely unlikeable and I had little sympathy for her.

I was more sympathetic with Jeri Hogarth until the penultimate episode.

Malcom was my favorite character this season(probably he was more assertive)

Pryce Cheng AKA Daboog (but not fat or bald) felt like a wasted opportunity.

Oscar and his son trying to be a surrogate family for Jess was a nice contrast to all her craziness,but it seemed like Oscar was more a plot device (and DICK device wink)

I just hope that the fallout between Trish and Jess at the end isnt just swept under the rug in the next season. That happens a lot in CW shows, where there will be a big brouhaha and then 2 episodes everyone’s sunshine and rainbows.

I loled at how Jess lectured Malcolm that getting pussy is no better than drugs.

BEYOTCH, youre drunk 24/7 and fucking random boytoys in bars and down the hall after they fix your toilet/print illegal govt documents. You little hypocrite!

My favorite episode was 7 since there was a lot of backstory/flashbacks.

It was great to see REDACTEDagain in episode 10. It shows you how compelling that person was.

Overall: 7/10

(We need a compelling antagonist and some more likeable characters)

The second to last ranked MCU Netflix Season. (Iron Fist is 6.5/10 )

DangerousJ · March 16, 2018

One other thing about both seasons of Jess is that I think 9-10 episodes/season would "flow" smoother. It feels like it builds to a point , then we're in a holding pattern for a few episodes and then it progresses.

Also, while this is a street level show, I wish there were some longer and better choreographed fights. There were mostly shoves/pushes , jumps, and 1 explosion. I think the longest fight is against the prison guy Dale and even then it was brief.

I don't want Jess to be DD 2.0, but since this is not a special effects heavy program, I think they could do more to liven it up a little.

Darc_Requiem · March 16, 2018

I can't disagree with you on Jessica Jones. Weird....I thought I posted the new Infinity War trailer.... :confused:

NupoChromine · March 17, 2018

Yeah, same here. I realized a small while ago that I might be completely burnt out on superheroes. The last Marvel movie I saw was Doctor Strange, and only because I was bored and surfing...certain websites. I'll probably see Infinity War because I don't want my near decade of watching Marvel movies to go to waste, but none of the trailers I've seen for it have made me feel anything.

I just hope they don't skimp out on character deaths.

EDIT: Actually, I forgot that I saw Homecoming. I remember liking that.

misterBee · March 17, 2018

Homecoming was the shit. I loved it.

I don't think she was a hypocrite for saying that. To her to he was trading in one addiction for another.
