Are we sure if Hoskins is actually dead? We saw Rhodey was unconscious and unresponsive when he was injured in Civil War. I understand the way Walker acted comes off that way but Tony blasted Falcon and Friday even told him that Rhodes was still alive and Tony’s a decent guy.

Big Mean Jerk posted:I mean... I’ve got a family member currently in the hospital who fell off their bike (while wearing a MIPS helmet!) and hit the ground in just the right way to cause a TBI, and this time last week we still weren’t sure they would survive. It was an unbelievable amount of blood from someone just flipping over the handlebars. I hope they’ll be alright. One of my riding buddies was also wearing a MIPS helmet but when he went down it still split open at just around 45 MPH so the helmet definitely isn’t always going to save a rider. Alternatively I saw another friend fall off his bike going 100+ with just a helmet and got right back up with nothing worse than some road rash. It’s insane what major trama we can live through and then as you said we can just fall weird and end up a vegetable. It’s TV so anything is possible. I didn’t think they’d kill off Battlestar so quick. I just looked him up right before I watched the episode to read what he’s all about in the comics so it really threw me off guard.

I hope they don’t give a drat if you didn’t wash the show and you’re just lost if they need to bring it up. They’ve already said it ties into a movie and I personally would hate it if they just acted like the show never happened just so people who didn’t watch it won’t be lost. Also the show seems like a major tie-in for the future of the MCU. It along with WandaVision just seem way to important for the future of the Avengers for them to try and pull that. I mean we have the real Vision alive again out there and when he just shows up I don’t understand how they’ll just have him say something like, “My fake self brought me back to life” and the audience will be satisfied with that. TulliusCicero posted:Genuine question: Does SHIELD even exist anymore after the events of Winter Soldier? I know SWORD does, but I thought Fury and Hill dissolved SHIELD as a government organization and went into deep cover. Agents of Shield gives me the impression that Shield is just a secret organization at this point but I’ve given up on it a couple seasons ago so I don’t know where it’s at now.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:I'm sure you've heard this before, but the show actually does get really good near the end of the first season and stays in the "7 out of 10" range for most of the rest of the series. I’m on season 6 now. I slogged through the first 5 seasons a while ago and started 6 a couple months ago and just decided to stop. I loved the first season but it just kind of outlived itself for me.

STAC Goat posted:Yeah, the exact nature of SHIELD in the MCU is kinda a huge question mark but we know Fury and Hill have SOME kind of SHIELD like organization with Helicarriers and Skrulls. Maybe that's SWORD? Maybe its a secret SHIELD? Maybe the US Government reupped SHIELD on the QT? Maybe they're self financed? Dunno but Fury's got something resembling SHIELD. That’s exactly it. Disney will essentially tell people to either subscribe to their streaming service or be lost. Can always look things up online if you want.

The percentage of people who actually watch every single movie probably isn't that big. That’s absolutely absurd and while I’ll admit there’s people out there like that I cannot comprehend why someone would do this.

My experience with prisons is the whole scene was wrong and bugged me but then it’s a show on TV plus it’s another country so they obviously don’t follow the same regulations as American prisons. Also German prisons actually work unlike the American prison system so there’s probably a method to their madness. Also also it’s TV.

Desperado Bones posted:How different is German prison to the US prison? Are they in the same lovely conditions? (but yeah, Zemon is rich and probably prison feels like a hotel room for him). Absolutely not. US prisons are meant for psychological torture in ways that are too subtle for anyone to recognize whereas most European like Germany’s are designed for actual rehabilitation and release into modern society. Sweden’s prison is a legit apartment complex. As far as I know a US prison isn’t even allowed to say or refer to their programs as rehabilitation anymore.

Desperado Bones posted:Mexico. They don’t have the same standards is what I got from my reading material so that reads worse in reality than on paper and it seems they don’t hide that prisoners are scum and don’t care about them whereas the US system at least tries to put on a show of caring. Of course my reading material was limited as we were never given exact info on their system and whatever we were given could be complete false information on North Korean levels. Also will note that I saw that one seasons of prison break with them in the Mexico prison.

Everyone posted:I haven't really looked at the issue as an American, but that seems insane to me. Prisons aren't garbage bins. The people you "throw away" will usually come back. A non-violent burglar/car thief/pickpocket/drug dealer goes away for a few years and gets raped/abused/brutalized. He also gets informal lessons on how to be a "better" criminal. So he comes back harder and more brutal and determined to not get sent back. So when he commits his next crimes, he's more careful about the evidence. And makes sure to avoid or kill any witnesses. So he won't go back. Or he just shoots it out with cops so he won't get sent back. None of those seem like good outcomes for anyone involved - except maybe the prison/private prison industry. I’ve spoken to many prisoners who have said that the system hasn’t helped them at all and now they can’t get a decent job as a felon so they’ll just do the same things better. Except now they won’t let the police arrest them at any cost.  Mostly dealt with prisoners who got into fights or stole money or items worth money.

tsob posted:What's weird is that, just before I started the episode I thought about that and briefly wondered who it'd be and looked forward to finding out. Then during the episode itself, I completely forgot about it and didn't even remember again until you mentioned it. That aside, I wonder does the fact that Sam left the broken wings behind and told Torres he could have them mean that Torres is going to become the White Falcon, to Sam's Captain America? I initially assumed the box contained new vibranium wings, but if Torres does become a new Falcon and Sam is just a new Cap, then maybe it's a new suit that's made of vibranium weave similar to the Black Panther outfit so that Sam's lack of super soldier serum is offset along with his athleticism. Which, drat, he look fit as gently caress during that training montage. Torres, as the name suggests, is Hispanic.

What I’m kind of confused on is I’m pretty sure I read at some point that Stan Lee intended racism to not exist in the Marvel universe. If that’s true I feel like Disney is kind of making GBS threads on his legacy by putting it in there. Powerful conversation though.

Marsupial Ape posted:Spanish speaking Twitter is absolutely gonzo over the idea of Torres becoming Falcon. Representation really does matter. I like seeing people feel good about seeing someone like themselves on the screen. From the beginning I felt that he was going to a new prominent character. Especially because that one super serum guy didn’t kill him in the beginning. I’m excited.

The thing that boggled me is that an Other Than Honorable discharge means the only benefit you lose is your GI Bill. That’s literally it. Then he can apply to have it upgraded through the VA to a General discharge which is literally the same as an honorable except he still wouldn’t have his GI Bill, which being an officer he already has a degree in something. The stripping of benefits can’t happen and it felt a little lazy they couldn’t just ask a veteran about that.

Boxman posted:It also sets up pretty much all of Loki’s face turn, such as it is. That one scene where Thor visits him after Frigga dies (and he drops the illusion to show he’s a complete wreck) is a great moment. This scene was absolutely gut wrenching for me. It was the first time I realize that maybe Loki really is just misunderstood. Then of course Infinity War kills him off once he and Thor finally get to the start of a real brotherly relationship.

tsob posted:Wouldn't the scene indicate the opposite, since Thor immediately knew that the Loki walking around and asking questions in a clean cell was an illusion, wasn't remotely surprised by the sight of the real Loki barefoot and haggard in a trashed room and offered him something that he knew Loki would want straight away (i.e. revenge); that all indicates he understood Loki perfectly well. I guess yeah, Thor did. I, however, did not as I’m sure the rest of the people in the MCU didn’t. It’s also been a while since I’ve seen the movie.

BlackIronHeart posted:I'm really glad I don't require complete logical explanations for everything in my superhero shows, goddamn. I can't imagine what watching any of the MCU must be like for people who do. I’m the same way except when it comes to military things that are just stupid. For example: I can’t get over the fact that Walker got an other than honorable discharge and they “stripped him of his benefits”. With that discharge you literally have all your benefits except free college. I hated the military but I let little things like this in movies/shows bother me.

Kwanzaa Quickie posted:Thor 2 isn’t bad, it’s just that it also isn’t good. It’s like plain oatmeal or cornflakes. They perform their function, in Thor 2’s case it conveys information that contributes to the MCU as a whole, just not in an exciting or interesting way. It just kind of.....happens. I agree with this. I just watched both the past few days with my MCU timeline watch through and I will say that watching them a second time after not seeing them since they were released I did seem to actually enjoy them Honestly, after watching all these movies in timeline order I am enjoying all the movies. Even Captain Marvel, which I thought was very okay when it released, was a lot better this time around for some reason. It may just be the excitement of finally seeing how the whole Infinity War shapes together.

Collapsing Farts posted:Can people please stop saying that superhero movies and TV shows are "mostly for children". Superhero movies are the new action movies and they've been this for the last decade now. The most popular movies and shows is all superhero or fantasy stuff. The most popular TV show of all time was a show about knights, dragons, zombies, wizards and lots of tits Disney has always had a focus on movies for kids that parents can enjoy as well. So if anything I would say that Marvel is making movies for adults that kids can enjoy too. So while it’s not meant specifically for kids it is meant for kids to watch as well because I can tell you that my daughter loves Captain America even though she’s three and doesn’t really understand what’s going on.

Away all Goats posted:A squad of soldiers that can outrun cars (and run longer) and also carry more equipment would be pretty useful. Maybe not world-threatening, but definitely useful. They also have improved reflexes and hand-eye coordination and other stuff that makes them 'super' so they can probably shoot back at you better too. I never understood the reason why Steve gave up on rocking the pistol in combat? Like one would have been useful for the battle of NY in the first Avengers movie or Infinity War/Endgame... unless he just enjoyed killing aliens with his fists/shield. I can understand him giving up his 1911 for Mjolnir though.

tsob posted:I'm just gonna go ahead and guess that Loki isn't actually the one responsible for the time problems, and we'll find out part way through that one of the heads of the TVA is loving around with time in some fashion and blamed it on him as a convenient pawn, because while it's easy to imagine Loki as the root cause of his own downfall, it's also really difficult to imagine that the all powerful, self appointed bureau that not only observes but controls a thing isn't corrupt as gently caress. He’s the Loki from Endgame that picked up the Tesseract and disappeared when Tony got Hulk’d therefor not going back to Asgard with Thor and messing up the timeline.

This scene made the whole movie worth watching for me.

To fire an actor or even a crew member - especially one previously attached to the project with a long-term contract on a major Disney blockbuster - a director would have to go through all kinds of producer and studio red tape. It's not the power dynamic some of you seem to think it is. This is the post I’ve been waiting for.

It wasn’t explained in the movies so I’m assuming they do explain it in the comics but no he doesn’t do it himself. When Odin picks him up in the movie Loki immediately turns pasty white. So I dunno what’s up with him not being blue.

I really loved Loki’s reaction to seeing his supposed-to-be-future. I was expecting him to break down terribly when he saw his mother die but his whole reaction to everything was just stellar acting and incredible which I why I was totally okay with the recap and wanted to see nothing but that. Much better than just having a Loki only recap at the beginning because this just helped him grow into what could be the Loki that Thanos killed.
