Maf Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I think I’ve heard that title but have never played it or could pick it out of a Spider-Man 16bit era line up. Also Jessica Jones season 3 just came out apparently. I waned on those Netflix shows a while ago but since they cancelled them all it’s like well if you don’t care then I don’t care.

OCH Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 That wasn't 16 bit, oddly enough. It was one of SEGA's [many] failed projects, an add-on to the Mega Drive, the 32X. How many Marvel games can boast having a boss fight against The Eel or Thermite? I did hear about Jessica Jones. Weird to just throw it out there, now everyone knows it doesn't matter. I haven't ultimately watched any of the Netflix shows beyond some random bits here and there of Luke Cage. So there is no point in dipping my toe in now, as Disney/Netflix have effectively made them redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 You could still watch them because some of them are good shows? Not everything needs to lead into something or has to be part of a bigger picture to be worth your time. Punisher and Daredevil are definitely worth a watch and both have a proper ending with their respective last season. There's a minor teaser at the end of Daredevil S3 but it's nothing that'll sour the experience that came before. Haven't seen JJ S3 yet but I liked S2 even though it was arguably super weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a blight that continues to dog the comic book movie/TV genre, for nothing more than greedy studios using it as a marketing brand/gimmick to try to capitalise on the MCU gravy train. My issue is that I've gotten invested in a number of shows over the years that have been cancelled before their time. The continual lack of resolution burns you out after a while.

Maryokutai Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 That's why I said 'some' and why I specifically mentioned two shows that have a conclusive ending. Iron Fist is skippable, JJ isn't for everyone and Luke Cage was really boring IMO but it resonated with some people so I don't know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Luke Cage Season 1 resonated for me, at least the beginning. I really liked Pop. But then it got really comic book-y and it just didn’t fit with the realism of that show. Also Luke Cage’s powers are really boring. Even more so when he is in a world with no other super powered people. The only interesting damage he ever took was when Jones shot him in the face with a shotgun and it rattled his brain on the inside. That was an interesting way to beat Luke, but you can’t do that all the time and what else do you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I think there was a character/actor that really stood out among the rest in Luke Cage, Black Mariah (played by Alfre Woodard). Practically stole every scene she was in. I did find Luke Cage himself a bit dull and I think some of the eventual boredom I felt watching the series was rooted in him and his one note abilities, that they didn't really explore with enough variety.

Maf Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Marvel officially going to San Diego Comic Con this year. That’s quite exciting because this might be where they announce things we don’t officially know about yet get revealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Apparently Spider-Man comes out soon and I honestly not sure I care. Not that I think it’ll be bad or anything but after Endgame being disappointing I think i’m just kind of done with the MCU until they reveal what the next ‘Endgame’ is. Like what is the tease for the next big thing, I can’t get excited about an MCU movie that doesn’t have large consequences at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 C’mon, you knew it comes out July 2nd really Spidey-fan Maf. You were jazzed for Endgame after you’d seen it, you’ve just overthought about it and convinced yourself you’re disappointed in it by watching too many YT hot takes. I’m buzzing to see what the next chapter is personally and that all starts with Far from Home. Bring it on ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Not at all, just more the dust has settled the more I think EG was disappointing because it went so far out of its way to be the movie it ended up being anyway that the journey to the big battle ends up being unsatisfying. I watched a lot of interviews with the directors where they said they wanted to be disruptive. Which works for IW but the best bit about EG is when they just do the predictable thing. I think the whole movie would be better if it weren’t so try hard Also I only realised Spider-Man was out soon was because I heard yesterday it was a couple of weeks away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 There is a lot of films "in development" right now, so I'm curious as to what the mid and end credits scenes will be. Maybe even enough to stomach sitting through a Spidey-film, starring a version I like the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryokutai Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Yeah, Hela was great and Blanchett a surprisingly good fit. I hate almost everything else about Thor 3 though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisturbedSwan Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Thor Ragnarok is one of the very best films in the MCU. It would easily go in my Top 5. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I didn’t mind homecoming but far from home looks like a place he should be in 3 or 4 movies time. I assume it fits in with what happens in the other movies in between but if you’re just in it for spidey mans you’ll be left behind which is far from.. ideal.
