Jimboxy Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 I was pretty indifferent to this when it was announced but that trailer at least makes it seem intriguing, looks well shot as well. I think I'm about ready for some more MCU now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Couldn't care less about Scarlet Witch. But I do like Vision. Interesting to see where they go with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 That looks crazy and a complete break away from anything the MCU has ever done before. I expect this kind of different, experimental flavour will be seen a lot in the TV shows and not so much in the movies. Which is a shame I want more off the wall Marvel stuff.

one-armed dwarf Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 They really didn't like how those Tenet numbers looked I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Interesting title for the Shang Chi film. The continued damage control for The Mandarin in lieu of Iron Man 3, I assume? I'm not surprised by the date push backs though. They're trying, but I just don't think cinema is viable for the blockbuster releases this year and yeah, Tenet proved that. Off topic but I'm curious if WB will still push Wonder Woman this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When one TV show about Shield closes another TV show about Shield opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 My late night uncalled for random defence of the Dr Strange movie. This is not to say it is a perfect movie or even one of the MCU’s best movies but it was one of the last MCU solo movies I enjoyed. One of the reasons I really enjoyed it was because of the director and how he tried to honour the idea of classic superhero stories while working within the boundaries of Hollywood superhero cinema. He even had statements either before or shortly after Dr Strange was released lightly criticising other superhero movies, Marvel included but unnamed, about how the heroes in these movies are more soldiers/killers than superheroes. Here are 3 ways that Dr Strange tries to fight against that which I really appreciated and enjoyed. Spoilers for Dr Strange ahead Spoiler First is when Strange inadvertently kills a bad guy in the movie. He gets really mad at Wong and says that he is a doctor that took an oath to save lives and not take them. Flat out pointing out that superhero’s killing people, even the bad guys, undermines the point. As mandated by Hollywood superhero cinema the 3rd act must have massive amounts of destruction and death and casualties which Dr Strange also abides and does. But cleverly because the movie revolves around the Time Gem the movie gets to have it’s big fight action sequence in reverse so the scene is exploding and burning back to being fixed and all innocents are alive at the end. And lastly of course they even get to do a classic Marvel trope of the hero beating the villain by outsmarting them instead of out punching them. Dormammu I’ve come to bargain. This is not to say that Dr Strange is a flawless movie or a top 5 MCU film. There are a few things about the film that are either wasted or wasteful but here are the things I really liked about the film and I think go either unnoticed or undervalued. I’m looking forward to the sequel but bummed that the director left the project because I wonder if these sensibilities went with him. Also in the movie they mention the Living Tribunal which was very exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I didn’t even know they were doing a Ms Marvel series. Very cool. Marvel Studios TV looking so much more interesting than Marvel Studios movies right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
