Arist posted:Also I feel like calling Scott Lang "whiny" is kinda off. He's not not a loser, but he's just really endearingly chipper and enthusiastic. Yeah, especially in civil war where he's basically making GBS threads his pants in glee that he's working with Cap. Anyway, Ant Man is a really fun heist movie, but with superpowers, and that guy should watch it.

That bit in Madanis parents apartment where they dart his hemopneumothorax was surprisingly realistic, speaking of damage he takes. Probably needed a chest tube after though

DeathSandwich posted:Obstruction/Aiding and Embedding Aiding and abetting. Not embedding. This drives me nuts, sorry. The Frank Vs CIA/Mercs thing is a good point, and I was wary at first because it was a pretty big shift from how the character has operated in the past outside of a MAX arc or two, but I liked it a lot. It avoided the problems that the other series have had, where it's all self-moralizing and finding reasons not to go after the villain directly, instead of making progress towards the end goal slowly but steadily.

Even the comics have (or had, I haven't kept up since secret wars) a pretty sharp divide between Street/planetary/cosmic, so the lack of references doesn't bother me much. Man, I was thinking about the Punisher's casting some and Bernthal really nailed it. The element that sold it for me was not just how he was human sometimes, and a cold killer the next, but those moments where he would be talking to someone on his side, who is as close to a friend as he has, and just loving explodes that they cannot and never will be able to understand the pain that he operates under all the time. It really sold the stuff like the construction crew thing in ep 1, where he's trying to bury what he is now that he thinks he's done with revenge but it comes out anyway. I think that is what's gonna make the next season work with his character arc in this one for me.

Cythereal posted:This version of the Punisher is so goddamn human. Which is a real rarity for the character, Marvel lucked out hard with the casting. Hearing him talk about them and knowing they got ripped away really sells it. I hate the part where he talks about being on the plane home and expecting God to kick it away. One of my friends was killed in a hit and run at the airport on the way back from Afghanistan right before thanksgiving 2014 so that poo poo is just too real.

I don’t watch AOS anymore but I do play a lot of brigador, so it took me a second to parse this as anything other than a giant machine gun walking on by.

HIJK posted:black suit can't save the show if the directing and scripts aren't up to snuff. Daredevil hasn’t ever really been bad. S2 sufferer from having one plot (The Punisher) that really, really outshone the other plot (undead ninjas), but the undead ninja plot was still better than anything between DDS2 and Punisher.

HIJK posted:I agree somewhat regarding DDS2 (though I hate the undead ninjas, they super hosed that up not to mention they completely forgot how Matt's powers work rofl) but I also know that the DDS2 showrunners performed the abortion that is The Defenders, and that's what makes me pessimistic regarding DDS3. The defenders was kind of doomed from the outset because half the cast had shows relating to the main plot, and the other half didn’t. And of the half that did have Hand stuff in it, one of those shows was godawful.

Open Source Idiom posted:It struck me as odd that Frank didn't kill that poor builder dude in the first episode. He was an armed gunman. Surely it's part of the Punisher's philosophy to kill people for violent crimes regardless of how sympathetic we might find them? It’s been a long time, but I’m pretty sure even Max Frank had some mercy now and again, especially for people that weren’t career criminals.

My understanding was that a mix of being that age and the fact he has routinely destroyed himself for decades means he can’t do most stunts anymore. Hell, I did less than he did, and I’m turning 30 in a month, and my joints just hurt all the goddamn time.

pnumoman posted:Yeah, there's a little hyperbole on my part. Netflix Marvel wasn't bad overall or anything tbh, with the exception of Iron Fist. It's just the highs were so good, the rest of the stuff seemed so lacking in comparison. First half of Luke Cage was so good I got immensely let down by the second half. JJ season 1 I had a blast with. But after Iron Fist let me down so hard, I kinda half-heartedly followed the other shows, with the exception of Punisher. Season 2 of Daredevil is one where the highs (episodes 1-4) made the rest (anytime after that) feel so much worse by comparison even if it was pretty decent.

A lot of the “in the books” complaints were because when they deviated from the books, they always did it in ways that were stupid cliches or just really dumb and bad.
