Runtime made it worse than the quality of what was shown is. What they gave was good, the runtime and not really doing anything forward from origin made it a frustrating experience. The last two minutes should have continued for another 10-15 minutes. Or, if they did two episodes for the first week. I'm excited to watch more of it, but there just wasn't enough to ask people to wait a week.

The discussion about hardships reminds me a lot of the 30 Rock episode when Kenneth says he’s a white man so he disagrees with Jack, who then says socioeconomically he’s an inner city Latina. They’re both wealthy. Are we next going to argue that because She-Hulk isn’t poor she doesn’t have to really control anger because she isn’t facing a situation where she doesn’t know when her next meal will be? Maybe we should stop worrying about quantifying hardships and understand that they’re both right and both wrong in this situation. The lesson from that scene is that neither person, nobody, should be ignoring someone else’s experiences just because. Super Deuce fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Aug 23, 2022 |

I think the point is that nobody cares. Similarly, I wouldn't care if the show mentioned whoever one of the Kardashians is actively banging whether they're a real person or made up for the show. Megan the ... I already forgot her name isn't as famous as you think she is. There are a lot of people in the world.

The show isn't really getting better. It's just showing more people that are completely obnoxious. Like, a couple characters here and there being ridiculous is funny. It's like if Tom Haverford was every character on Parks and Rec. I'm invested enough by the good pieces, but they need some more range between their characters. I do like them mocking sneaker people though.

Jim the Nickel posted:Show's pacing still sucks rear end, but at least Patti Harrison was there gettin that good Marvel money Yea the pacing is actually horrible. The overall package of the show is fun and I’m enjoying it but the characters all feeling the same in their vapidity is certainly tiring. Mallory Book is the only not goofy character. Everyone else just feels like they’re trying way too hard with zero grounding. Maybe it’s an extended LA joke, but this show is a case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. It’s interesting how that works.

XboxPants posted:If you're looking for narrative purpose you're not watching the right show. This is a goofy comedy show, the purpose of the scenes is to have goofy comedy and put the characters in silly situations. It wasn't a clever legal scam. I guess maybe to someone who has zero clue how that kind of thing is handled it may seem it, but it was really stupid. Nikki is vapid. Jen is more nuanced, but that's also because she's the character we follow. Otherwise the only not vapid character in the show is Mallory Book. Every cameo, every recurring, every one off. They're all vapid. Like I said, it may be an extended "Haha everyone in LA sucks" joke, but it's not funny. It also makes the character of Maddisyn even worse in hindsight than she was in that episode because every other human in this corner of the Marvel Universe is exactly like her.

kazil posted:I'm having a really hard time not seeing "vapid" as dogwhistle for "bitch" Well, first, nobody is acting as a "bitch" except for, I guess the bridesmaids. Though I wouldn't use that word, they certainly were horribly rude in the manner someone who uses terms like that may. And as far as vapid goes, I'm referring to the shallowness of all but two characters in the show. They're all flat shallow pieces hitting the exact same note. Nikki we've seen a bit more and, sure, she's capable at her job. However she has the same obsession with appearance everyone else has in the show. I get that it's a theme here, but quite literally everyone involved has an obsession with Jen's (and their own) appearance including her. There has been zero departure from it, yet, making the show feel bland in a lot of regards. Again, I'm enjoying the show. It's just really tiring having everyone be Tom Haverford.

Bust Rodd posted:Super Deuce, who are some female characters in media that you do like? Are you honestly asking for a binder full of women? Alright, I guess. Since I've mentioned this show is littered with Tom Haverfords, on Parks and Rec every character is good except Leslie Knope, so that would mean Ann, April, and Donna from the main list, as well as a host of the recurring / side characters. Let's jump to Star Trek. Literally everyone across all shows pre-Discovery, and a couple later such as certain episodes with Tilly, Detmer, and half of Georgiou. In Picard, while a departure from the character previously established modern Seven is interesting but while I can't say the plots she's involved in are good, she has character. Lower Decks sucks a lot, but Tendi is nice. I really like the entire cast of SNW. Party Down is an ensemble show, probably my favorite. Casey and Constance are both superb. Curb was mentioned. Cheryl and Susie are perfect. As well as... well basically everyone. I honestly can't believe that people are reading "the show is full of one note vapid characters" as "only the women on the show are vapid". Especially considering I already explained what I meant by it with examples of men on the show that also lack interest and depth. Kaedric posted:Sorry friend, you used the misogyny word without realizing what it was and the bat signal went out I think it's more that people just really can't take that people don't like things they like. Yes, misogynists call women vapid just for being women. Curiously, that's clearly not what I did, though. Context matters. It's not an indictment of certain characters sexes on the show. It's about the writing of the characters on the show. They're nearly all the same. Super Deuce fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Sep 22, 2022 |

Well, Secret Invasion first episode sucks. Ben Mendelsohn acting opposite of Emila Clarke is like my worst nightmare. Add in Joel McHale and I'd actually feel like I'm being tortured by bad acting. I also felt like this episode forgot the hook to get me to care about the series / next episode. Nothing about this episode led me to care at all about the outcome of the Skrull terrorist campaign.

I honestly couldn't tell you what literally any Marvel show intro is because skip intro buttons exist now, and if it doesn't catch the intro, I just look at my phone or fast forward it. Worse still are end credits. I sit through end credits of every movie I see, but when a 40 minute TV show has the same length credits as a 3 hour movie... I just can't. When I saw in this thread people were upset about the Secret Invasion opening credits I was absolutely baffled people cared about anything related to them.

I thought the rest of the world knew about Wakanda at this point, and also aren't they aware of Atlantis now, too? Why did Rhodey tell summit the US has the strongest military? So far this story is so uninteresting, because the stakes are higher than a small Spider-Man saving his neighborhood plot, but Fury isn't using his resources. Further, the scene at the start of this episode with Fury's promise is so dumb because they're not going to give any meaningful reason for why Fury didn't do what he said between '97 and Avenger time, or have any information why until just before he comes up with the actual plan to do it.

The Olivia Colman praise is everywhere people talk about this show, and I don't get it. She has had like 3 minutes of screen time prior to this episode (Just starting it now, so I have no clue if there's more here). It's just not enough to think it's some standout performance, it feels like everyone is just saying it because that's what people are supposed to say because they like her.

live with fruit posted:Not even the worst this year but still a troubling direction. What would you consider worse? The other marvel things are Ant-Man and GotG3. GotG3 is clearly better, and at least Ant-Man was done in two hours and one sitting, as well as having bright interesting visuals. For me, Secret Invasion is by far the worst thing so far. Love and Thunder has Chris Hemsworth, who is charismatic regardless of the boringness of the movie. Multiverse of Madness was mediocre mostly because it really should have been more Wanda focused. Black Widow is back to having a very charismatic cast. Eternals is probably the only thing that can contend with the badness of Secret Invasion.

WhyteRyce posted:A huge crux of the show is “no Talos, humans don’t like refugees much less alien refugees they wouldn’t trust us and wouldn’t welcome us” while ignoring New Asgard is a thing? Although maybe they dropped a throw away “and I don’t want to be a carnival barker” that I missed or something? The fact Asgardians had been worshiped as gods by humans for centuries past kind of negates it to a degree. What I don't get is why Fury's response to Skrhodey framing him isn't to just get G'iah or a human wearing one of their spy masks to just be Hill (If she's actually dead) in a video saying "Yea, Fury didn't shoot me. I'm right here." Surely Skrhodey knows his threat kind of sucks, right?
