I think they've done a terrific job of writing a contemporary Bullseye.

mikeyp102 Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 So the only marvel tv I’ve watched Ian series 1 of Jess jones. I want to watch a few more, never really liked Luke Cage in the Jess jones series, will I miss anything by not watching his series? From what I’ve read Daredevil and Punisher seem decent, is there a particular order I should watch them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’ve read Daredevil and Punisher seem decent, is there a particular order I should watch them? The Netflix series are pretty standalone. You can skip character series without much loss. The only thing to stick to is watch Daredevil S2 before Punisher or Defenders, and watch/read a synopsis of the Defenders before watching the series that follow (especially Daredevil S3). I'd rate them as follows Daredevil S1 Punisher Jessica Jones S1 Luke Cage S2 Iron Fist S2 Daredevil S2 The Defenders Iron Fist S1 Jessica Jones S2 Luke Cage S1 Daredevil series 3 will be going into the top 3 unless it falls off a cliff in its second half. Luke Cage series 1 is crap, Jessica Jones 2 suffers from just being done, Iron Fist S1 is a mess but it's not as bad as most would have you believe. The Defenders is disappointing, Daredevil S2 suffers from a split personality undercooking it's plot(s), and bad choices. Iron Fist S2 improves on the first everywhere, Cage S2 is genuinely good, Punisher is really good, and Daredevil S1 is just a really good kicking off point with an excellent villain. They have a single recurring issue - bloat. All the series bar Defenders and Iron Fist are 13 episodes long and in nearly every case that makes them at least 2 episodes too long with slow moments, dull storylines. Punisher most escapes this I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted October 25, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 25, 2018 Finished Daredevil S3. It's very good. It's back to the show at it's best, but with more confidence, seemingly bigger budget, and a fairly tight story. It might be better than the first series. It's an excellent take on Bullseye, committed to the fact he's slightly daft in his ability, but also giving him a bit more depth that mostly works. The Kingpin further matches towards his comic book self, and they also add some development to him straight from the page. He's a presence throughout the series, even if it borders on daft more than once, and the show is all the better for it. Daredevil himself is a nice halfway point between the Murdoch we know and the one Frank Miller gave us in the Born Again arc, broken, cynical and worn down by the world. It's a really good performance from Cox again, in every aspect. And the action is really good. The stand out comes in this series 'hallway' fight sequence. Another fake one shot, it's the longest and most ambitious they've done, right down to having a dialogue sequence in the middle. It sets the bar for action in the series, and while nothing else quite matches it, there's plenty of great moments. Particularly any time Daredevil and Bullseye square off. It still has the odd duff punch mind. It's a bloody good series and if we don't see another, it leaves on a high note. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted November 8, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 8, 2018 Famously one of the worst films ever made. The story behind it being made is great. The film rights to the Fantastic Four ended up with a German company who got them in the 80s for next to nothing. They then couldn't get a film made due to an inability to raise finances, and also couldn't get an extension on the period they held the rights for, so they decided at the last minute to make a film on a tiny budget as soon as possible to keep the rights. They hired B-movie legend Roger Corman to help produce it, a man who can make a movie with no resources and stretch every penny (an example of this - he made a film once with a bizarrely good soundtrack - because he bought rejected and unfinished Star Trek movie music for bugger all), brought in a music video director to direct, and cast it with a bunch of jobbing actors who mostly had done very minor roles on TV. It then never got released, but bootlegs have been around for ages. It's crap, but you can kinda see they wanted to make something at least competent. The special effects are crap, but for the money they had and the time it was made they're surprisingly decent, and the actors actually give it a go throughout. It's still bad, bit there far, far worse out the there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 RIP Stan Lee Never read a comic in my life, but the man has created some of the most famous characters ever. The MCU has shaped the way films are created in the modern world and it’s all down to him 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be fitting way At around the time of Doctor Strange I think they said they filmed a bunch of cameos at a time with him, rather than per film, so I believe they have a few in hand. It wouldn't be too surprising if Avengers 4 was the last one though Id imagine they'll keep references to him in the films though - in other things where he doesn't appear personally they've had things like photos of him in the background.

sne Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Sadly my French isn't what it used to be, and even then it was pretty poor. But I'm not sure how I'd feel about this Quote MARVEL-LOUS: OLIVIER GIROUD CAST AS VOICE OF GREEN GOBLIN IN NEW SPIDER-MAN CARTOON SERIES Olivier Giroud is to proudly extend the grand lineage of footballers moonlighting as actors by lending his voice to a new Spiderman cartoon series. The Chelsea striker has been cast to voice the Green Goblin in French-dubbed version of Spiderman: New Generation, which is set to arrive in cinemas next month. Giroud isn’t the only France international involved either, with PSG defender Presnel Kimpembe also signed up to play Scorpion, another of Spidey’s villanous enemies. It wasn’t long ago we saw Antoine Griezmann voicing Superman in the French version of The Lego Batman Movie, with Blaise Matuidi in a supporting role as The Flash. The World Cup win was okay, but it’s the cinematic achievements this Les Bleus team are leaving behind that will prove to be their real legacy. http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/chelsea/279737/marvel-lous-olivier-giroud-cast-as-voice-of-green-goblin-in-new-spider-man-cartoon-series-video.html Might be on to something her?

I think it's certainly the end of a R rated Defenders universe due to viewing figures dropping but Disney might relaunch it on their new family friendly streaming service... shame as really enjoyed some of the shows.

Chindie Posted December 1, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2018 Jude Law's character in Captain Marvel has been revealed via a careless toy company (again). Spoilers for Captain Marvel... Spoiler He ISN'T playing Mar-vell, apparently. Which is a surprise. He's playing Yon-Rogg, a long time Captain Marvel villain who originally fought the Mar-vell incarnation and was involved in Carol Danvers origin as Ms. Marvel in the comics. Given they've supposedly changed her origin a bit (read: binned it and started again) chances are this version of the character is going to be fairly different in his relationship to her. But still, yeah, he's a villain. Methinks they're going to try pulling a Winter Soldier esque swerve... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted December 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 2, 2018 Finally watched Ant-Man and the Wasp. Fun, but feels underwritten and very, very thin in places. Not as good as the first, equally not bad really at all. Just a bit nothing-y. It feels like a load of action sequences that then got arranged into a basic plot framework and the details filled in around it. With that said it is absolutely fun, but could have better. Good end credit sequence mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good end credit sequence mind. I loved it. Full of excellent gags, and the Morrissey jokes were superb! I like that the Ant Man movies are a little less epic than the others, and they are as you say absolutely fun. Brilliant twist at the end to link it in with the Infinity Wars ending.
