LesterGroans posted:A couple of the Netflix shows had a good season or two. I really liked Jessica Jones season 1, never watched more because I felt that anything beyond that would cheapen the season. I also thought that Daredevil season 1 was pretty good but not as great as everyone says, season 2 was a dip but still had some pretty good parts, but not enough for me to come back for season 3. First half of Luke Cage s1 was also really fun, but never finished after a certain point. In all cases, the shows would have benefited a lot by not having any of the even tangential references to the MCU they had.

Every MCU Netflix show needed to be 2-4 hours shorter and yes I am exactly thinking of Punisher and to a greater extent: Luke Cage.

well why not posted:Every MCU Netflix show needed to be 2-4 hours shorter and yes I am exactly thinking of Punisher and to a greater extent: Luke Cage. Luke Cage was a better secondary character in Jessica Jones than a main character in his own series. Getting ~4 episodes of Mahershala Ali was not worth suffering through the rest.

https://twitter.com/EntInsider/status/1356104824106979328?s=19 I wonder how much input the directors have in these previz shots. Making a film 2 thirds in previz seems kinda nuts at first glance

Yeah, the stuff with Ali was cool, but the show just ... kept going after he died, with a way worse, more cartoonish villain . It would've been better as 6 episodes with just Ali. It probably could've been a cool b-plot inside of Jessica Jones, too.

Agent Rush posted:
Inhumans was pretty outstanding in how bad it was (though Iron Fist was always pretty bad). The Netflix shows have already been talked about but Agents of Shield is really good. The first part of the Season 1 is kind of slow but the show gets better and the first part is better in context of stuff you learn later.

I was shocked to learn that the Blade reboot didn't even have a loving writer until this week? I thought for sure the production was a little further along... maybe not filming but at least a script.

McCloud posted:https://twitter.com/EntInsider/status/1356104824106979328?s=19 It's basically the same as storyboarding a movie, except you actually get to see how the shots look in motion. Some directors spend a lot of time working with previz and want the final shots to match really closely, while others aren't as invested in it and just use it as a general guide for what the shot should be like and spend more time finding the shot later on.

Disney is best to just kill this project and figure something else out.

After the thing with WandaVision this week I've been watching the X-Men films again and I'm kind of at a crossroads because of Logan. Does that exist in the X-Men universe before the days of future past retcon or after it? I'm assuming it's after but want to be sure. Also, just gotta say, X-Men Origins Wolverine: What. A. Film. Simply amazing. I'd never seen the actual finished version until today and just, wow.

How he was alive was never really explained, was it?

Prof X is alive due to the post credits scene in X3. He transfered his mind into a body that didn't have one. (and somehow looks the same.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvnp5KJ7F_s They never explained how Logan got metal claws back after the Wolverine.

I saw the first Batman in the theater when I was 18 but since then I think I’ve only seen Doctor Strange, even though I hear a lot of talk about comic book movies on nerdy podcasts. My gf and I are now going through the MCU movies in timeline order, we just saw Captain America and Captain Marvel. I’d like to follow up each movie by reading up on it a little, are there any especially good reviewers or sites I should check out?

The way I see it is the "Bad 2023" (where Sentinels have taken over the planet) never happened because of what Wolverine did in 1973. The future that Wolverine visits as a result at the end of DOTF where Jean Grey, Cyclops and the rest are alive is the "Good 2023" that takes place before Logan. Now, what's kind of messed-up and dark is that means if Logan is canon then things went to hell in a hurry. It's something that not a lot of people talk about when speaking warmly of DOFP in that Logan dashed the gently caress out of it.

Yeah that makes sense and ultimately watching DoFP now after The Wolverine and before Logan. It's been a while since I've watched all of these movies so it started to get confusing after what happened in The Last Stand. Thanks everyone.

Logan is basically an Elseworlds like Old Man Logan in movie form, I figured. And of course, who knows what happened now that Deadpool got a time machine and started playing merry hell with it.

Here's how I think it goes: X-Men Origins - Xmen 1,2,3 - The Wolverine - DoFP DoFP directly follows The Wolverine's end credits scene so that's one Continuity down. We can throw X-Men: Origins in there if we want, along with Xmen 1-3. The end of DoFP overwrites Jean dying in X2 and the Phoenix event in X3. Wolverine travels back in DoFP and that creates an echo in the timestream that establishes the First Class continuity. Then we have: First Class - DoFP (70s Wolverine) - Apocalypse - Dark Phoenix - Deadpool - Logan For the sake of not being a bummer, I'm going to assume that the Restored/Good Ending of DoFP proceeds and is unseen to us so it's possible that doesn't end in horrible genocide.

My impression considering the line "You do know they're all bullshit, right? Maybe a quarter of it happened, and not like this. " is that the canonicity of Logan is intentionally ambiguous so that the audience is invited to kind of create their own canon from the mess of stories in the films and otherwise. Maybe the events of certain films happened, or maybe they didn't, or maybe they happened in a different way but the point is that there was a more optimistic past that is now somewhat in tatters, leaving Logan with a fairly bleak perception of his place in the world and the nature of heroism etc.

Things like the recap of the well known disaster at the Xavier Institute that's cut off just as they're about to say who died/how many are pretty clearly signalling that they're deliberately vague about how things went down, since that's not important to the story. Also of course they have actively contradictory versions of Deadpool and Juggernaut among others, so the rule is basically 'Only the good movies are canon'.

Then after the mutants are all gone, aliens roll up to Earth, take it over (since no super-people exist) and put the populace into camps for use as food/sex toys. The End.

Robot Style posted:It's supposed to be his never-before-mentioned twin brother. Specifically, the movie originally had a scene of him talking with Jean about how as an unborn baby his powers were so strong they caused his twin brother to be born effectively braindead (think about how in Logan he can cause people to straight up have strokes or die when he has a bad moment). His parents, being rich as gently caress, paid to have their son taken care of in a hospital and allowed to grow up relatively healthy because the doctor's couldn't work out why he was only doing basic bodily functions with no higher brain functions. When Xavier dies in X3 his mind is transferred to the empty shell of his twin brother he left without any mind of his own pre-birth. Yes it's ridiculously brutal.
