The show is absolutely not trying to play off that as covered up. It's opening statement is basically just saying "Before New York, all people knew about was a crazy millionaire in a robot suit and a weird government monster". After New York, suddenly aliens and gods are all real. They aren't saying that incident was covered up, they're saying that incident uncovered everything else.

What if they went the opposite direction with Kingpin and made her a woman. Melissa McCarthy.

In that case I'd say Woody Harrelson. He can be an intimidating dude, has a fat head already, and could probably bulk up pretty huge.

I'm glad people took my suggestion at face value and didn't think I was just making a fat joke. A woman kingpin would rock, and McCarthy has a ton of untapped potential in dramatic roles. Really though I'm sure they'll knock casting out of the park whichever direction they go in. I assume it will just be a big white guy which will also be just fine.

Alien Rope Burn posted:She also mainly resembles her comic counterpart only superficially. Conceptually, she's pretty close to the opposite, where the comic version was defined by the fact she protested SHIELD's policies, so having her be the face of "the system" essentially makes her a different character. We'll see if they do anything interesting with her in the future, tho. Well she was Osbourne's right hand man and towed his line pretty well. She was representative of the system then. Maybe Fury is already running things kind of like Osbourne.

If Ennis' problem is he needs an editor, having Preacher on basic cable actually could be really loving good. There's so many parts I like, and so many parts that would be better if it wasn't so trying to be extreme and "No YOU shut the gently caress up God!"

I loving love Green Hornet. The original serials from the thirties. His character is completely bad rear end. What's crazy is his alter ego news man has an acerbic bodyguard who enjoys getting in fights, and himself carries a gun and uses it when necessary, while Green Hornet only uses a sleep gun and also has a bodyguard who does not carry a gun. He does tons of dangerous stuff when not even in disguise because he's already an established bad rear end. And almost all the villains he fights are basically exploiting workers or making people labor in unsafe conditions, or attacking public infrastructure to make their private for profit alternative more competitive. I loving wish anybody could make a Green Hornet film or TV series that captured the feel of the original radio drama and serials. And he's a direct descendent of the lone ranger! And he predates Batman!

e X posted:Green Hornet had a similar problem to the Lone Ranger, you really had the feeling that they were somewhat embarrassed by their source material. How could they possibly be embarrassed by the source material? It's loving awesome. You got this newspaper publisher exposing city wide corruption by day and posing as a criminal to gently caress up their schemes by night. He's a suave motherfucker with a bodyguard on retainer, and his butler is a mechanical genius who also knows karate.

Captain America. I would think a period agents of shield might work better. I wonder if marvel would even be willing to touch old properties like the (robot) human torch, the wizzer, miss America, etc. that they know there's no chance would show up in the films.

I just marathoned the first season of Arrow in slightly less than a week. And god drat it Hulu only has the last few episoded, CW too. I thought they were supposed to have the entire season as we went along! Why am I paying these guys five bucks a month! Are these episodes on any other service(something like iTunes but I don't use iTunes)?

I just watched all of season one. In the last episode they flash back to the life raft, they still show Robert killing that dude first. Dude was just unimportant, doesn't warrant a backstory.

The finale of S1 is when it became clear how dumb the show was and that it was all going to be downhill from there. Well, that and the opening of Season 2. Maybe they can make something good if they just abandon all baggage. Also do not have time travel or power absorbing people. greatn fucked around with this message at 14:32 on Feb 23, 2014 |

You have to give Smallville credit in that their super speed scenes and effects were very well done, so I'd have to imagine this team doing even better could be pretty sweet.

I'm talking more like the scenes where he wraps a lead vest around an exploding kryptonite bomb and runs it out of the hospital, or where he rescues Chloe from Cadmus to a weird strobe effect, or races the flash. Even simple stuff like running down a highway looked decent enough. I'm sure Flash will use the cheap "whoosh, camera cut, gone" effect as well because there's really no reason not to.

So Shield was actually good with good plot moving along and a neat twist. Still a couple of incredibly dumb things(mainly that the villain could control men with voice, they knew this, and went in with zero countermeasures, and then didn't shoot her on sight).
