They just released a new teaser for Falcon and the Winter Soldier. This is probably the biggest MCU reveal on one of the Disney+ shows so far and it answers what is probably the biggest question left unresolved by Endgame. The craziest thing is that it was set up more than 7 years ago. If the others are up to this level, then I don't know how they are going to have anything left by Secret Invasion.

Are Microsoft stores not all closed in the MCU? Also Bucky is White Wolf already so he can't be Captain America 2 Spacebump posted:What Mortal Kombat show are you saying was show in hd?

The_Doctor posted:I feel like they’d do Isaiah Bradley like Will Reeves in the Watchmen TV series. Incredibly old, wheelchair, etc. Yeah, my guess is they'd do a floating timeline, and shift Isaiah Bradley to the Vietnam era. For a few reasons: 1) because WW2 is still a sacred cow and Vietnam is already understood as a war with no good guys, 2) 60's/70's-era SHIELD would already be compromised by HYDRA bad guys in the canon, and 3) they could plausibly cast an actor who's ~65 and have it fit.

Its been ages since I’ve read Truth, but wouldn’t shifting Isaiah Bradley to Vietnam ruin the entire point of his story? I thought the whole idea was that just like Tuskegee, the US Government tested the Super Soldier Serum on black people first. Edit: yep. Hazy memory. They were trying to recreate the formula. So, yeah shifting him to Vietnam would work fine. I nominate Michael Jai White, who is 53. Terry Crews as a backup, who is 52. If Marvel wanted to work their de-aging magic then go for Carl Weathers, who is 73. Retrowave Joe fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Mar 16, 2021 |

cyclical posted:It's pretty hilarious, really. Wow, women (and men!) everywhere are into that? They like characters who come striding into the screen blowing everything up and then it turns out they're actually doing it all against their will, and they're sad and angsty and tortured about it? What could possibly be the appeal here, I wonder? Like, yeah? I'm just now learning certain mental health issues are hot. loving knowing that in my teens and twenties would have been pretty handy.

If they hadn't already cast Ving Rhames in the Guardians movies, I'd have said him. Or maybe Michael K. Williams, though he's only 55. Anyone who served in Vietnam was realistically born by the mid-50's at the latest, but cooler casting > historical accuracy. The bigger thing that'd be lost if Isaiah Bradley was a Vietnam vet is the sense in the source comic that the US government did this on its own. The worst pulled punch of the HYDRA reveal in CA2 is the suggestion that, "actually it was HYDRA. They're the baddies." The whole system is implicated, but you can still focus blame on this specific set of bad actors if you wanted to, and "fix the problem" by ousting them. When really, the situation is more like Operation Paperclip: the Nazis and the US government had more in common than they didn't, and so joined forces. It's slightly too convenient if you can offset blame for what happened to Isaiah Bradley as, "those nefarious secret Nazis! Who knew, right?!"

Snackmar posted:Yeah, it'd be nice to see more of their relationship on screen instead of just implied, assuming they can maybe do some flashback stuff? Sam definitely deserved more screentime before this. I recently reread the No Escape arc, where Zemo basically tries to play audience surrogate and questions why is Bucky the new Captain America, besides being Steve's old sidekick. It's pretty good and I think that that part of Brubaker's run tries to make the argument that actually Bucky is not a great choice as Captain America, he has too much baggage, too many issues, and though he deserves a path of redemption, being Cap is probably not the best way.

tsob posted:Yeah, I'm assuming the "Russian killbot" thing plays a large part in it, but Steve doesn't actually give any reason for it in the film and just gives the shield to Sam. Bucky doesn't even go over to say goodbye, though he seems to have known what was happening (or would happen, rather) and said goodbye to Cap before he went travelling. It's such a simple goodbye that it doesn't really feel fitting for them though, honestly. There's no real emotion in the exchange. As such, it's still weird that Bucky just signals to Sam to go talk to Old Steve, and that Steve gives Sam the shield without any kind of explanation about why he's the most fitting person for it. While "well, Bucky was a Russian supersoldier for a while, ever if under duress" was a reason, Steve isn't the kind of guy who cares about that on a personal or would be inclined to consider it on a greater political/social level because truth is much more important to him, so it does still feel like an explanation is warranted. Remember that scene in Infinity War when T'challa comes to Bucky with the new vibranium arm and Bucky looks at it with a kind of resigned loathing? Bucky isn't like Steve. He didn't take a 70 year ice nap. He took the nasty scenic route, living through all that stuff doing HYDRA's dirtiest work. If Bucky had had his druthers, he'd still be a one-armed map chilling in Wakanda. He's sick of war and fighting. He'll do it if he has to, but he doesn't want to. Sam wants to be Captain America and sees it as an honor and a way to honor Steve. Bucky doesn't want to Captain of anything, much less Captain America. He wants peace.

To sum up why Steve chose Sam over Bucky: Bucky was Steve's best friend, but Sam was his protégé.

You think Bucky, former WWII "special ops" equivalent soldier, turned mindless ruthless super-soldier assassin, turned "regular" super soldier, but still a bit ruthless, ever really REALLY hates that he is still called Bucky? Like...drat, I know the comics started him off as a literal teen boy sidekick and it was the 40's so a "cutesy poo" nickname wasn't out of place, but you'd think at this point he'd snap and just be like, "My name is loving JAMES, ok? I'm not a 12 year old boy!"

DrBouvenstein posted:You think Bucky, former WWII "special ops" equivalent soldier, turned mindless ruthless super-soldier assassin, turned "regular" super soldier, but still a bit ruthless, ever really REALLY hates that he is still called Bucky? Well, consider that in this continuity, he wasn't Cap's 12 year old sidekick. He was the guy who helped "cash" the "justice checks" that pre-Cap scrawny-rear end Steve would occasionally write. He might be called "Bucky" because one time he was in the shower and Steve was getting beat to hell, so James jumped out, buck naked and kicked the poo poo out of like five guys. Bucky isn't a goofy kids' name. It's a celebration of a moment of awesome badassery.

Spacebump posted:This makes much more sense, I was really confused if it was the 90s MK show. Thanks! Nah it was Conquest that was made in HD - for Japan, as I said. NHK was doing HD broadcasting since the early 90s. I know it's not available in HD but there's a fair amount of stuff that was made in HD that's only available in SD. Europe had a similar standard, part of D2-MAC, but no one wanted to use it and Astra satellites didn't have the requirement so it died out. If you're thinking "wait, does that mean US broadcast standards are backwards AF even though NAB has shitloads of money?" then yes you'd be right ( Check out why NAB deliberately picked an inferior digital broadcasting system for the USA, it's hilarious) Babylon 5, which started in 1994, was "supposed" be provided to WB by the makers in a widescreen HD format (it's why all the live action shots are 16:9 safe unlike Buffy or The Wire or w/e) though that requirement seems to have gotten lost by the time they were doing CG / compositing, people were absolutely preparing for 16:9 HDTV well before you had a set / thought about it. The first time I saw 8K HDTV was in 2003 (also several different types of 3DTV, from the stereoscopic glasses stuff that came and went to "true" 3D depth field projectors that are still cutting edge) ookiimarukochan fucked around with this message at 15:33 on Mar 16, 2021 |
