Marvel --> Epic. I feel like I’ve seen that play before and would absolutely support it on screen - especially if it gave me Marshal Law.

The conversations at the Intelligence meeting; I have literally seen those exact comments online or from content creators warning us of "teh woke". 1 hour ago, sifth said: I know of quite a few people in the hate mob and artificially generated hate culture who were making all sorts of videos, preparing to hate House of the Dragon before it came out and are now eating their words, because the show is actually good. People like the Critical Drinker have even admitted to being wrong about the show, despite making hate videos for it during the spring and summer. Just make a good show and prove the haters wrong indeed. Don't make a show just to attack people, who criticize your work. Yeah, and I'm sure all the live streams that were done by him and others preemptively shitting on HoTD, Prey, etc; the superchat moneys generated were promptly refunded. G & G was practically built on GoT hate videos BTW. There was a time when even the most amateurish videos criticising the final season could generate a few hundred thousand views on Youtube. As for She-Hulk, brilliant final episode. This is like self-self-self parody at this point. So much cringe. So wonderful. and way to tie it back to the first episode with absolutely the thinnest thread. Oh, Professor Hulk went back to Sakaar? 'Sounds interesting. Are we going to see any of that? Nope. Oh, and here's his kid because why not. Breathless. I was breathless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he's not doing the culture war mambo jambo, Critical Drinker is actually capable of really insightful criticism. But then that doesn't pay the bills. sifth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mormont Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 9 hours ago, sifth said: The fact that we have over 20 MCU films and not one of them is R seems to work against your theory. It's not a theory. I'm pointing out that your theory, which is that Marvel haven't done/won't do an R-rated Punisher movie because they haven't 'got the balls', is undermined by the fact that they've repeatedly made R-rated Punisher properties. (And for that matter by the fact that they seem to be adapting 'Born Again' for Daredevil.) There are plenty of things that I have the balls to do, that I may even have done in the past, but that I choose not to do because it's not particularly beneficial for me to do them in a particular context. Marvel have tried hard in the past to get R-rated Punisher material over. They're not unwilling to do it. They just, presumably, recognise that it wouldn't work particularly well in the MCU. 8 hours ago, Deadlines?

The Anti-Targ Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I guess it's a choice for misogyny, racism, toxic masculinity and other forms of identity hatred to exit in any fictional universe. Which means if you choose for it to exist in the world in which your story is set then you make that choice for a reason, which is to either confront or feed it in some way. And if you find that you recognise some of yourself in the characters who are presented as caricatures of those forms of hate, then maybe your negative reaction says more about you than the story. Regardless of whether the story is well told or not. My main criticism of the She-Hulk finale is that with their whole the entire sound stage breaking stunt they got away with connecting the dots between Jen finding the Hulkking, getting him arrested (and one assumes convicted) and also her ending up getting a pass for having hulked out and lost control. I am all for that ending, but the show didn't earn it. JGP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winterfell is Burning Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 He's a good actor, but hard to imagine him in the role from what I've seen; not because he's black,.but I've seen only in more serious roles. Anyway of course is better to not take casting rumors too seriously until they confirm it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChampion Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Apparently the Brooklyn-99 writer Andrew Guest is showrunning the Wonder Man series, co-created with Kang Dynasty / Shang Chi's Destin Daniel Cretton. Cretton is exec-producing, Guest is the head writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
