TCP Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 I watched the first three episodes of Luke Cage. It's a little slow but I'm enjoying it a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturnine Tenshi Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 I'm a bit skeptical. Jessica Jones would've been terrible if it weren't for Tennant's acting. I did enjoy the little joke at the end of the Dr. Strange trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 I've started watching it. It's a bit hit and miss right now. I like some of the characters and bits but there's also lots of bad dialogue and shaky acting. DD and JJ had those issues somewhat yet tended to bring it all together well but I'm still worried it'll be like those where the season is just a few episodes too long and the episodes don't need to be that long. Â Plus, I can't quite put my finger on it but Luke Cage doesn't quite feel like the same person from JJ. Â Other observations: - The councilwoman is the grieving mother from Civil War - Love the little detail in the texting where the guy starts typing "Meet" but it suggests "New" before he finishes. - Frank Whaley! I remember that guy. - They're trying to make the Avengers stuff more colloquial but it just sounds more fake as a result. "The Incident" and not calling them the Avengers or by their superhero names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Just finished it. I thought it was solid. The whole not naming the Avengers felt cute, afterwards they namedrop Captain America and others. The Incident is inline with what it's been called in SHIELD and other Marvel shows. Over all, I liked it a lot. The pace is definitely different than JJ and Daredevil but I think that's good. It's a show with something to say and it doesn't shy away from that. If you're a right wing white guy from the States, you might feel uncomfortable, but I think that's good. I don't think the villain(s) were up to the level of Killgrave or Kingpin but I might like Luke as a character more than Matt or Jessica. I'd rate it equal with JJ and maybe just a notch below DD. Bring on Iron Fist and then... The Defenders!!These shows might be stronger come Phase 2 (by that I mean, post-Defenders), so they don't have to keep coming up with silly reasons for Rosario to not call up Matt Murdoch or Jessica Jones when she knows they can help.

deanb Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Â End credit tune. Kinda weird. Â Oh n current theory, and makes a lot of sense to be true, is the Eye of Agamotto is an infinity stone, likely the time gem. Leaving Soul Gem leftover, likely to pop up in GotGvol2 in possession of Adam Warlock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 I finished watching Luke Cage the other week. I liked it but it wasn't great. It has some interesting things and I like how involved the supporting cast was but it tended to steer far too cheesy in places. Â There were some shades of interesting things being explored ("bulletproof nigga") but I fully expected more from that whole thing with the people of Harlem siding with Cage over the police. Like, they'd step in en masse and stop the police at a critical juncture or something more than walking around in "bullethole hoodies" and getting stopped (and possibly shot!) by police. Â Also, the "Bye, Felicia" and "Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?" references in one episode was a bit much. Â Â I liked that sort of "tragic" backstory with Cottonmouth but it never actually felt like it gelled with the actual incarnation as well as it should and more emphasis was given to the Mama Mabel transformation of the councilwoman.

deanb Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016  And some international for extra flavouring:  I think I prefer the MGMT in the first trailer, but there's more Vulture in the second. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Hey some Superb Owl stuff   also:  We get it in April. I'm kinda curious on the "Marvel films hitting Europe first" thing. Oh and he's totally Adam Warlock.(with one L).  edit: Oh he's apparently confirmed as "Ego the Living Planet", but leaving my Adam Warlock thing for the stargate joke. Ego also goes by alias of "nu-Xandar" which leans in to my theory of Xandar being fucked over by Thanos completely to get the Power gem. (in the comics Xandar is pretty much a mass of floating semi-populated planet debris). How Petes mum had it on with a planet we won't know (until April I guess).  edit 2: I completely glossed over the bits at the bottom, but someone has noted it has Sly Stallone in there too.

TheMightyEthan Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Remind me, is Xandar the planet that the Nova had recently made peace with, or...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Xandar is the planet Nova is on. The one Ronan tried to destroy. Xandar, well Nova corp, had made peace with the Kree (which Ronan is from, and which Agent Coulson is sorta part-ish).

Mr. GOH! Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Agent Coulson will be in GotG 2?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!! Â Hahahahah, kidding; everybody knows Agents of SHIELD is functionally non-canon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 No as in it's the "how Shield brought him back" is they have a dead Kree they'd extracted some enzymes or whatever from and used that to heal him (and a few others). Oh and then fucked with his brain to make him forget it all. Tahiti is a magical place. Â Also a subplot of Season 2 shows how Nick Fury came to have a handy helicarrier in Age of Ultron. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
