Ah, X-Men, Spider-Man, even Batman: TAS... beloved cartoons that I only saw the first half of because the Saturday morning wraparound programmes would inevitably split an episode in two and my mum would always make me go out somewhere before I could see the second half.
I honestly think having to miss Disney Club on a Sunday morning in order to go to church was a factor in my eventual drift away from organised religion.

Lucky you that 65 episodes of Batman TAS just went live on Netflix literally today.
Also Mr Motivator is back on CBeebies doing workouts at breakfast time if you miss him too.

Oh, I've been meaning to watch that for a while. Was going to pick it up on disc at some point, but I'll take the Netflix route.

Ah, that's cool, I saw the first season of Justice League was up but didn't know about BTAS. I mean, at this point, I have seen most of them and own the lot on Blu-ray. But it doesn't atone for the damage done in the nineties. |

My Batman discs disappeared long ago! They were on Amazon for a while. I don't do Netflix anymore but I may have to...

I’m hoping the animated films won’t be far behind The Blu-ray box set I have comes with Mask of the Phantasm and (I think) the Mr Freeze movie they made to cash in on the release of Batman & Robin. |

I'll admit to having pirated "The Killing Joke" and I still feel ripped off, what a fucking disaster that was.

The Marvels has had a historic 79% drop in its second weekend. Worst one of all time for a CBM beating out Morbius. This is after one of the worst openings of all time. Set to lose around $500 million or so.
Daredevil having the writers and directors sacked. The new Captain America having major reshoots. It’s about time they sorted themselves out. For the most part, I’ve found the quality of what they’ve been putting out to be utterly terrible. I do think Aquaman 2 and Madame Web are fucked but Deadpool 3 will be an absolutely massive hit.

That really reads like you think Aquaman is Marvel.

I'm not sure The Marvels was for.
The characters have very little traction with the fanbase. Despite all the Internet noise about loving Iman Vellani when it came to the crunch people didn't want to spend money seeing these characters at the cinema.
It got very little promotional support and I genuinely don't know (or care) who the antagonist is.
It's similar to The Eternals. Changing the formula doesn't work.

I don't think it's the movies' fault per se it feels like it was coming to a head for the whole genre especially when have now cottoned onto the fact that you can it see on the streaming platforms a few months later.

I guess an issue specific to the movie is that two of its main leads were introduced via the streaming TV shows as opposed to, you know, a movie. |

The problem is that the film itself can't focus on all 4 of them, I'm including Vod the Villain. The bit of extra info they give for Carol is rushed, it's also the motivation for Vod (Zawe Ashton). Ms Marvel was fine, establishing her as a fan girl and including her family gave enough motivation. Monica though is just kinda eh. They could have done with dropping her and focusing more.
The TV shows are kind of irrelevant.

Captain America 4 pushed back to 2025. I'll admit to having pirated "The Killing Joke" and I still feel ripped off, what a fucking disaster that was. Dreadful even without the nonsense they added to the start of the story. |

Obviously he's in pretty good shape for his age but if they want to use Harrison Ford as Thuderbolt Ross for more than one film they probably want to get a wriggle on.

I think he's only signed on for Cap and Thunderbolts, but who knows really. They do keep their cards close to their chest most of the time.

Michael Waldron, writer of Multiverse of Madness and Loki s1, is apparently writing The Kang Dynasty. He's already down to write Secret Wars so now he's going to be crafting the entire Multiverse Saga finale.
He seems like a good guy to do it.
I've also seen internet scuttlebutt that they're after Raimi to direct both films. I do feel like they're leaning now towards getting one person to shoot the lot, even if it isn't Raimi.

More Raimi would be good.

Post by Vandelay on Nov 28, 2023 8:21:12 GMT
More Raimi is always good (well, mostly *cough*goth Pete*cough*), but I think more important is consistency of a vision (pun). Having a clear plan and the viewer being able to see that plan unfolding would help MCU right now. We have some vague things going on connecting films, but none of it really feels like it has any momentum.

I'm surprised that they arent just using Loki S2 to draw a line under the whole thing. I dont think anyone can save this 'arc'.

There is an arc? What is the arc? Has it already started?
Maybe I should watch Quantumania or Loki.

Post by dfunked on Nov 28, 2023 9:08:21 GMT
Yeah, they're both pretty much essential viewing for kicking off Kang's arc, even if it'll probably be a short one.
Marvel phases are a jumbled mess these days. Without looking at a snazzy infographic I wouldn't know which one we're in now, or when it started or will end.

I mean, yeah, thats basically it. You probably had to do more homework to watch The Marvels. It would be so easy to just draw a line under it that I cant believe they are pressing ahead.
