Scott Buck. Responsible for the last season of Dexter and...The Inhumans. I remember when they were talking up the look of the latter and how it was gonna rock in IMAX and it ended up looking like cheap trash.

Scott Buck was and is a complete fuckup but it was recently revealed by the show's stunt coordinator that Finn Jones had ample opportunity to practice and learn the fight choreography and didn't, and the whole "practicing 15 minutes before the scenes" stuff was probably Jones covering his own rear end for being a lazy piece of poo poo.

Maybe Awkwafina's character can become the new Iron Fist. Knowing Awkwafina, she'd probably want to name the character Iron Vagina. Which would work for me.

The mediocre fight choreography isn’t what made Iron Fist bad. It contributed to is sucking, but it was in no way the silver bullet. The show had bad writing; I remember agreeing with his family that Danny Rand sucked and probably shouldn’t be running the company. He had zero chemistry with Jessica Henwick. And while I liked her in other projects, she also phoned in her role imo.

No, I agree, nothing worked. It's a show about magic kung fu from a fantasy realm, and most of the conflict is Danny fumbling through corporate proceedings, and the random Succession-y scheming of Ward* and Joy Meachum. On a fundamental storytelling level, they didn't seem to know what the story is about or why anyone was interested in the character. The bad fight choreo just added insult to injury.

I'm convinced the Ta Lo and CG dragon from Shang-Chi was partly informed by the failings of IF. The show ran for 2 seasons, about a character whose claim to fame is being the best martial artist in the world, with a magical glowing fist inherited from a dragon he punched in the heart. They never show the dragon, or the fight. He routinely gets beaten up by random goons. It'd be like if Batman never put on a mask, never really fought crime, and the story was mostly about Wayne Corp. board meetings.

*(It also sucks that Tom Pelphrey is easily the best actor on the show, genuinely great but in a role that didn't need to exist. The fact he didn't even get nominated for an Emmy for Ozark is goddamn crazy.)

Close, but David Wenham gave a legitimately amazing performance in Iron Fist and I would him do his crazy Harold Meachum routine in a spinoff show.

The hot dog scene, when he gives his assistant the rest of the day off at 11:58, and when he monologues after scooping his assistant's eyes out are fantastic.

Or any scene where he is verbally traumatizing his kids in his crazy person zombie accent.

I've never seen even one episode of Iron Fist but sheer osmosis compels me to fine with Jessica Henwick in that role. Though I do want her to meet Katy for Katy to suggest Iron Vagina as Colleen's "Superhero name."

I'm just mildly amazed that Disney allowed Awkwafina to suggest that vaginas (or any genitals) exist in the MCU.

How do you fumble that kind of golden ticket? She could've easily been the new build around person for the MCU (or at least second behind Spider-Man) for the next decade and then had whatever kind of career she wanted.

Now best case scenario is that this doesn't crater her career so much that she ends up as Candace Owen's understudy.

Just cancel Black Panther 2 already. It's doomed.

I wonder if that means Pratt is vaxxed. A lot of people have been speculating that he's picking up lots of voice roles so he doesn't have to go onto sets with vaccine mandates and he's definitely the type, but he has a number of other live-action projects in the works including a few MCU things. Then again he is probably one of the bigger Marvel actors who could get away with bullshit now that RDJ and Evans are gone.

edit:

quote:

During the summer of 2021, Disney issued a mandate for COVID-19 vaccinations on their sets. That mandate reportedly didn’t apply to Black Panther 2, as it was already underway, but will for future Marvel Cinematic Universe productions. If Letitia Wright is unvaccinated and doesn’t want to change that, she may be frustrated and ready to be done with Marvel/Disney.

Or maybe he just has better managers telling him to to ride it out.

Yeah I'm sure he's vaxxed but he's probably less of a dumbass than Wright in this case. Like I'd at least "put up" with whatever rules they have going on to get the first movie done so I could just retire on that and toy royalties or something.

The one consistent thread I’ve seen across all these antivaxx wacko’s is that they are completely and utterly genuine in their paranoid beliefs, to an absolutely psychotic degree.

Yeah, being a true anti-vaxxer requires you to just not listen to anything that's based in reality while insisting you're correct in spite of everything, so it's not surprising that someone would potentially derail their own career over it. I know quite a few conservative people who are politically against the vaccine but they've all gotten it because the personal consequences of refusing it aren't worth it to them. But once they start spouting off weird poo poo there's just no reasoning with them.

In November Feige said “We are already working with Scarlett on another non-Black-Widow-related top-secret Marvel Studios project with her as a producer" but offered no other hints. Sounds like the lawsuit was just Hollywood business as usual and maybe she got another visit from the money truck.

If the main star did interrupt production because of non-compliance with a vaccine mandate, would insurance pay out? Would the producers be able to litigate against that actor and sue them?
