Darc_Requiem Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) 12 minutes ago, Wellman said: Hide contents While you are not wrong, part of it could also be they were planning on it at first but like when the trailers and names dropped many people guessed the identity making that story line too predictable so they changed it during production. Also it would be another kid vs parent fight which Marvel has done before and is doing again pretty soon. Spoiler In the comics Natasha and Melina are contemporaries. They literally could have given Rachel's character a random Russian name. I'm not super attached to most characters in this movie so it doesn't bother me. The Taskmaster thing doesn't bother me like the Deadpool in X-Men Origins thing, but I'm trying to look at the situation through the eyes of someone who is big Taskmaster fan. I'd hate for anyone's favorite character to get Mandarin'd. Edit: I thought I caught all the Easter Eggs. I missed a few. Edited July 13, 2021 by Darc_Requiem Wellman 1 Quote Link to comment

Wellman Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Now I am not theater person and while I know Cheadle did a lot with his face and tone of voice in that one scene but I am still shocked he got an Emmy nomination for best guest star. Hope but not expecting my man to win it. Frankly I would have given him one for turns on the DuckTales reboot. Shit had me dying. RSG3 and DarkSakul 2 Quote Link to comment

You should see the Disney interview for Don Cheadle's guess role on Duck Tails, they billed him has a "Thanos Survivor" for the Duck Tails behind the scenes.

I’m already really happy with how the MCU is handling Kang. Instead of convoluted garbage hes very to the point, streamlined, makes sense and still stayed true to who Kang the character is. Also be sure to watch the mid credit scene. Edited July 14, 2021 by iStu X GreyFoxx, Hawkingbird, Darc_Requiem and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment

iStu X Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) Black Widow was the definition of okay. It definitely should have been a series as opposed to a show. Nothing even worth mentioning happened until the dinner scene. Task Master was a letdown but there’s still room for the character to grow. I wonder how it must have felt for Scarlett being around so many people who were so good in their roles they constantly took the focus off of her. Especially Florence Pugh. “This would be a super cool way to die” “how can you not like this vest? It has so many pockets!” Edited July 14, 2021 by iStu X Darc_Requiem and DangerousJ 2 Quote Link to comment

HD-Man Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Umm, THAT haracter stole the show in the final episode of Loki. I wasn't sure what to expect when he showed up, but I'm pleased. Inspired casting, shit bout to go down in the next phase of Marvel. I was wondering how they'd top Thanos, with performances like that, I can see it happening with that level of acting and stakes RSG3, Wellman and Hawkingbird 3 Quote Link to comment
Wellman Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Loki as a whole hasn't been as impactful as the other two shows. But this last episode was pun intended "Marvelous" Spoiler That scene was a masterful intro to Kang and hopefully all his crazy Variants. Hell they built him in a way I can't wait to see how these next phases go down even more. DarkSakul 1 Quote Link to comment
RSG3 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Just finished Loki. Loved it. For me it's F&WS>Loki>WandaVision. WandaVision feels like it accomplished the least for me, tho i still loved it. I like this version of The One Who Remains (Will use real name in a couple of days), very different from his normal portrayals, was very nice. If they keep this actor for this character then I'm pretty excited to see what comes down the pipe. Unlike Stu I find this character and all his shenanigans to be rather fun. Quote Link to comment

OPTIMUS124 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I really don't understand how so many people missed the boat that most of our franchises have real world scenarios baked into them. Art imitates life. That said, the more modern approach uses algorithms to determine how long a storyline should unfold. That's the problem. As a side. Saw the Loki finale. I'm good with the casting. It also did exactly what I thought this was gonna set up. RSG3 1 Quote Link to comment

Gettin Winter Soldier vibes I agree. The action was great, the only real criticism I have is that it really hits different after Endgame. Spoiler Her death feels a lot more forced. But her sister does come off as fun so if they are going the legacy route she seems a good choice. Still this is the type of movie I was expecting years prior after Winter Soldier for her. But I guess that price tag is too high going forward. Edited July 15, 2021 by Wellman Quote Link to comment
Darc_Requiem Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 @WellmanIt's on Ike Perlmutter. He didn't think a female lead superhero film would make money.

DangerousJ Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I just got back from Black Widow. Pros: Yelena Belova and her interaction with Tasha was the best part of the film. David Harbor and Rachel Weisz were good too. Action was serviceable Cons Due to its release 2 yrs post endgame, the stakes felt low and the film was somewhat anticlimactic given Tasha's fate in Endgame Taskmaster felt underused. They tried to go for Winter soldier in terms of both action and character remorse, but it didnt really elicit any sympathy for the person who was behind the mask. I almost forgot who that person was at the reveal and only went "oh" when I read wikipedia after exiting the cinema. It made sense for the movie, but I hope the character be reworked for the next appearance/incarnation. Red Guardian needed a full length fight scene with Taskmaster. It kind of felt like a "Great Value" Winter Soldier homage. Overall: 7/10 RSG3, KimuraLOX and Darc_Requiem 3 Quote Link to comment
