Marvel Cinematic Universe

Ah yeah that twist was the first time in a long time that I've been stunned by a movie in that regard. Keaton's Vulture was very pleasant and was a highlight for the MCU in general. I'm glad he didn't want to destroy Earth or the universe, the dude was wronged so he turned to stealing and that was that. A real good use of a Spidey villain.

Might've been bad luck that Iron Fist S2 released the same day as Spider-Man on PS4 but since I can't play the latter yet... :lol:

 

I was surprised how much I really liked season 2. Probably because it was 10 episodes instead of the usual 13 but the pace was pretty nice. It's x100 better than Season 1 imo. I liked it better than JJ Season 2.

Spoilers:

 

- I like Walker but damn, leave Joy alone :lol: half the time I was thinking that Walker looks like Trish from JJ

- COLLEEN!!!! As if she couldn't get any more bae material

- that last episode changed the whole course of Iron Fist going forward, holy shit lmao, I loved it

- Is Misty becoming the new Claire in which she shows up every individual Defender's season? Cause I am so down for it

- Ward's character can still be a shit person sometimes but man, everytime he and Danny are together, especially that last episode, great scenes lol

- There's a post credits scene on the last episode btw, oof

Marvel Studio are doing a reshoot to finish Avengers 4. I guess it is to keep Drax dead?

Reshoots were announced months ago that they are talking place later on in 2018

Batista ain't leaving the films. He already sounded like he was backpedaling the last time I saw him on tv. Don't remember which show it was, but they asked him about his dispute with Disney and he definitely didn't sound like he was 100% backing his previous statements. Just said that he didn't like the way they were doing things or something like that. Legally, he probably isn't even capable of pulling out.

 

Not to mention, would he do that to his cast-mates? Clearly he wanted to get Gunn his job back...but would he want to leave his friends high and dry to do that? Without a doubt, the movie will make less money without Dave in it. People love that version of Drax.

Forcing myself to watch JJ season 2 now. I still really dislike this show...but I'm gonna do it. First episode of Season 2, and I'm already cringing at the Whizzer scenes. God give me strength to sit through this show. :lol:

 

On episode 6 now, and I feel like I'm wasting my damn time. This show should just be called 'White People Problems'. Jessica herself is a shitty annoying character. Her best friend is a shitty annoying character. The villains are always shitty annoying characters. Only person I like is Malcolm. Lol.

You watched S2 and not S1? S2 was lacklustre by comparison. :lol:

 

Enjoying Iron Fist S2 so far, you can tell they have learned their lessons from the crap first season. Firing Scott Buck was the best thing they could have done, between that and Inhumans, he was not good business for Marvel, Disney and Netflix.

 

I always felt sorry for Finn Jones. Dude got blasted for being a white guy (which is a ridiculous complaint to begin with) and was then ridiculed for his fighting talent. Not his fault he had weeks to train before shooting started. Im glad hes gotten better and is shutting people up, he is good in the role.

They did the same with Doctor Strange IIRC. Even though those characters have always been white. I think they just saw that there is mysticism and martial arts in those roles and automatically assumed the characters are Asian.

Yeah Danny has always been white, but then he does come from America's obsession with martial arts in 70s, so he has the roots of racism, but the character itself in the modern day is hardly racist.

 

The thing with the Ancient One in Dr. Strange perplexes me. Disney were caught between a rock and a hard place with that. Either they cast an Asian actor and be ridiculed for contributing to racial stereotyping or they cast a non-Asian actor and be ridiculed for white washing. Instead they cast an actor in Tilda Swinton who they knew would give a great performance. Plus they changed her to have a celtic origin anyway, that character didn't need to be Asian.
