esperterra posted:I like Ritter a lot, I've been a fan since she showed up on Veronica Mars, but she just doesn't sell Jessica for me. Or that other guy. Or many people, from what I remember about reading the thread when the show came out. It's common, yet only a couple people have shared it so far?

Gyges posted:They did just as much as their white compatriots in the Warriors 3(plus hot chick) and the Howling Commandos(also with other minorities!). Nah, Lady Sif has done more than the other two dudes in her team. She had a sub-plot in Agents of SHIELD!

Slowpoke! posted:It got pretty good, but Simpson's (the police officer) storyline is a tangent in an otherwise tight storyline. Ehhhh, no, his character - like many characters in the show - is a foil for JJ. In his case illustrating the distinction between JJ's avoidance of murder and the utilitarian mindset of Simpson. He has plenty to do with the plot as well.

Narcissus1916 posted:Agent Carter is light and breezy and really drat fun. Don't dismiss it just because Agents of SHIELD may have sucked the air out of your enthusiasm. I'll add to the below by saying that the way in which the show coincides with the Hydra reveal in Winter Soldier is amazing and actually does make you reevaluate the way you perceived things in the previous episodes (as such things should). jivjov posted:And SHIELD stopped being mediocre about 2/3rds of the way through season 1, became awesome and has been getting better ever since.

Lurdiak posted:TMNT wasn't a parody. It was just an "homage", which is a nice way of saying ripoff. Lurdiak posted:Well if you can find any satirical elements in the first finished issue, let me know. Okay, I'm confused - which thing are you taking issue with? That it's a parody, a satire, or both? Also, it seems you're implying that something is satirical if it's both a parody and homage, and I'm curious about that.

Doctor Butts posted:Yea at that point I thought the editor for the Bulletin was a bad guy and those were corrupt cops who were gonna kill her. The editor was shown to not be the Fisk plant last season in the slo-mo raid montage, so I had no inclination to expect him to randomly be a bad guy. Also, Brett's been consistently on the good guys' side in spirit, so no worries there either.

enraged_camel posted:I hated the actor in Walking Dead S1 and S2, but he managed to completely turn my opinion around in Daredevil. To be fair, Shane was an unrepentant rear end in a top hat. But that's the character. I honestly didn't make the connection until you mentioned it, and it kinda blew my mind.

Gynovore posted:So how did Kingpin know about Blacksmith? A subtle hint, or just lovely writing? So, you're asking if jailed Wilson Fisk - the one who we're shown hearing snippets of information, using that info to get to people or sway them to his side, and developing a stronger presence in the prison that's supposedly intended to keep him powerless while extending his channels outward is somehow not supposed to know about the goings-on among big-shot criminals in NYC?

mind the walrus posted:I stayed through season 2. Aside from Kyle MacLachlan, Crusher Creel, and Lucy Lawless it sucked on toast. Even Edward James Olmos couldn't do poo poo to make the Inhumans plot interesting. Was good to see that Dollhouse actress getting work. Ward is overrated as balls btw. I liked the "bad boy heel turn" act when David Boreanaz was doing it, and he wasn't even that good at it. I would say I liked the latter half of S1 and pretty much all of S3 more than S2.

mind the walrus posted:Good for you. I say that with humility and with true respect for our differences of opinion. I haven't read others' opinions on it, but I can see how on paper it would seem less good or even bad. Personally, watching it unfold was entertaining and engaging (as much as a light drama with comic book stuff can be, anyway - DD and JJ are better shows). I hated Lincoln at first, but he got better once he became disillusioned. Lash could've gotten a better ending, but the lead-up to it was good. I really enjoyed the whole deserted-in-space part, because they focused on Simmons being herself. It's not like she immediately stumbled into NASA boy's arms and started sleeping with him that night. E: Daisy's arc in S3 itself is totally worth watching the season. Before she was a lot less interesting, but then has to deal with both finding a new identity, losing it again, and salvaging something new from the ashes. This is probably a pointless conversation, but I have a hard time seeing why people poo poo on the show. Like, you can enjoy a fun, less interesting show than JJ or DD even and still have those better series. TheMaestroso fucked around with this message at 02:48 on Aug 10, 2016 |

achillesforever6 posted:Yeah already Sony has rejected the guy that Marvel wanted to play Spider-man and the director iirc. If you're referring to the guy from Civil War, you're incorrect. Unless Marvel had previous choices before Civil War that were turned down, but that would've been ages ago and I never heard about that. Also, Tom Holland killed it, so I'm happy either way.
