Jon Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 For anyone interested, there's a really good 6 part documentary on Sky History that's just started. The Secret History Of Comics. E1 was all about the evolution of Marvel comics and the relationship between Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Harbour was clearly having fun in the role. But a bit lacking in story and villain. Reveal hidden contents The Red Room up in the sky was ridiculous and you never felt he was a threat anyway. Not knowing the comics it still seemed a waste of Taskmaster Spoiler Imagine on a day like today.. "oh thats an odd looking cloud"... "nothing to see here, move along" ... FWIW, I didn't like the film. Ray Winstone "Bet in film naaaaaaa, time of the next fight scene"... irritated me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Black Widow was better than I expected, sure she’s a pretty dull character so the introduction of the ‘family’ was much needed. David Harbour was the standout for me but the achievement award must go to Ray Winstone’s agent - the guy must be a genius to get him work! my only other gripe is the slowed down, plinky plonk use of Smells Like Teen Spirit… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With then it being on streaming services resulting in a proper version rather than a cam out on the open seas... Its madness but I imagine they're desperate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Loki was up and down for me. Lots of lengthy scenes of just dialogue, particularly the finale. I wanted more action and not Sylvie and Loki having heart to hearts. Also it was Loki only in name, it was the character that I knew. Sylvie was excellent though, really was the standout for the series. Black Widow next and perhaps thats it. My wife will be happy that I will have finally watched everything.

Popular Post Designer1 Posted August 1, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2021 Enjoyed Black Widow much more than I thought I would. Decent story, good pacing and some very well done Bourne esque fight sequences. I also think the casting of the co-stars was bang on, especially F.Pugh and D.Harbour who I thought were both excellent in their respective roles. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Watched Black Widow this morning. It was OK. Seen worse, seen better. Good premise but a small cast made it feel like a long tv episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I actually went in with high hopes and they weren't dashed. Some genuine LOL moments in the film too. A solid 7.5/10 for me. Harbour and Pugh given the best material, and they didn't waste it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 catching up on the TV series: Wandavision - slow start, but great after the first couple of episodes. Great concept and a big risk starting the series the way they did. Must have lost a lot of viewers after episode 1. Loki - Was really good. The TVA reminded me of The Umbrella Academy. Falcon & Winter Soldier - first episode was bad. Didn't continue. What if... - starting next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Jim Shooter, who created Secret Wars, has said that Marvel Studios are developing a live-action adaptation. A return of the Russo Brothers to the MCU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Not convinced by this weeks What If, just didn’t make sense. T’Challa could talk Thanos out of genocide. Nope not having it. Think they try to overplay how kind and wonderful he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some good moments though. I've heard bad things about What If...it sounds like they try to cram too much in every episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 This could be epic if they pull it off but could go very messy if they get it wrong. it's also been leaked that Maguire and Garfield reprise their Spidey roles too (along with previous Sinister Six members too!)
