Jimboxy Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 Incredible Hulk was added in the UK, because Channel 4 had the BMfM rights and also it wouldn't have been an hour as there was no breaks (I read the wiki about it just now) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Just going to say it. Biker Mice from Mars was garbage as was the Shark one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I only remember the Marvel Action Hour as Iron Man and FF. Season one of each being Really bad. Season two was a significant upgrade. They both got really good theme songs too. In comparison: Iron Man Spoiler The Fantastic Four: Spoiler It is a shame looking at these. The MCU Iron Man fans have mostly been robbed of seeing his entire rogues gallery onscreen. 1 hour ago, Maf said: Just going to say it. Biker Mice from Mars was garbage as was the Shark one. Agreed. Both tried to emulate TMNT and Bucky O' Hare. But with 90's edge! Both failed, even with Vin Diesel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I used to love Biker Mice from Mars. Had all the hero figures with bikes. Loved the Red bike and the one with the metal arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinn888 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Saw Shang Chi at the IMAX, loved the film; very strong intro for an origin story. Having martial arts in a blockbuster movie is always a plus in my books and the choreography was 👌 Tony Leung as Wenwu was amazing casting. Chinese folklore was a bonus. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryokutai Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Really not feeling that font & logo they're using here. Looks like the results of someone finding out about word art stuff around 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryokutai Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Ok, right there it looks good. It's flat, it's black, it works with the rest of the visuals on the cover. But the golden 3D animated thing just looks odd. Anyway. My D+ runs out on January so if this has 6 episodes or less I'll be able to watch it. Tense!

OCH Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I can't say I'm enthused for this one. Not really in my top ten favourite Marvel (or MCU) characters. But saying that, it is one of the reasons I like the weekly schedule of D+. If I don't like the pilot, I can skip the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 That's a good trailer, getting some really strong Shane Black vibes from the tone and setting as well which is no bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Just watched it with sound. Really good. Really like the girl playing Kate as well. Even in the trailer she seems fun. It’s not quite the same as the comic in tone but the ideas are there. They seem to be role reversing a bit as well. Where she is a bit of a mess making lots of mistakes and he’s teaching her. In the comic it was Clint was a mess fucking up situations and Kate was essentially trying to life coach and support him to do more with himself. Except for when it actually came to Hawkeye-ing and he proved to be wiser and more experienced. There was also some sexual tension between them in the comic which since Clint is married in the MCU I guess isn’t going to happen. Damn. Pumped for this show. This has been my most anticipated MCU thing for ages. It looks like it’s on the right track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I was watching a video on YT and reminded that the gangsters Hawkeye fights in the comic and seemingly in the TV show are called the Tracksuit Mafia, and they’re not Russian they’re Eastern European. But they always talk like this It’s so funny to me 😆 I hope they do this in the show it would be so good. Also there is a dog in the trailer so we are going to get pizza dog. Nice. HAWKEYE IS COMING SOON I’M SO EXCITED BRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Something for MCU hardcore fans. Gotta admit the whole packaging and design looks rather elegant. (Get it quickly before Feige runs through libraries to rip out the Black Widow pages.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Watched the first Whaf if... episode yesterday with Captain Carter. I loved Atwell in the movies so this was right up my alley and I enjoyed it throughout. Some of the fight choreographies were a lot better than I anticipated and while the facial animations looked a bit off at times, the overall movement during action scenes was phenomenal. The storyline didn't get too wild as it basically just genderswapped the movie, but that was more or less what I expected anyway. The problem I have now is that all the other episodes, except for the one with Dr. Strange, don't really interest me. Is it worth checking them all out regardless or should I just leave it at that?

Episode 2 is probably the best one to date. As they are only half hour long, I'd say they are worth a punt to watch them regardless... What If? Episode 6 Oh boy... This episode, features elements of Iron Man 1, Black Panther and Age of Ultron. It suffers the opposite problem of Episode 1. That was an abridged version of the first Cap film. This, tries to pack too much in and the ending is ...abrupt. A couple of soundalikes for the first time too. No RDJR, Jeff Bridges or Gwyneth Paltrow. The replacements sound fine and everyone else is on point. Episode 6 really suffers from the run time though. A "To Be Continued" was needed. 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I'm just filtering them by how much I enjoyed the movies or the MCU version of the characters they're based on. Rogers and Carter was one of few genuinely human elements in this entire saga before everything got blown into space, so I always had a soft spot for the Captain America movies, at least the first two. The second one is a mix of Black Panther and Guardians, right? See, that doesn't interest me at all. I don't like the GotG movies and Black Panther was just overrated and forgettable, so there's no real pull here for me. I'll check it out though if you say it's good.
