Not sure if it's MArvel Fatigue but this one just isn't grabbing me like F&WS, WV, and Loki did. At least MM was fun.
Yeah, right now it's kind of in between some genres and not really capturing any of them. I have a feeling I'm going to be rolling my eyes and thinking it's dumb when they start breaking out the ridiculous super hero powers on top of being able to shape shift. Not sure why that's necessary to this story, but we'll see.
Not sure on spoiler rules, so to be safe... Spoiler Gravik seems to already have the Extremis powers, as shown when he heals his hand after the knife. Ghia was in the experiment room, right outside the globe thing they powered up. Could she have been effected similarly by that and heals up after Gravik walks away?
There's some very weird stuff with G'iah and I'm not sure how they're going to explain it to me in a way that doesn't feel like they're making it up and hoping no one thinks too hard about it. Going back and watching the first couple episodes... - I wonder if that wasn't really G'iah in first episode telling Talos about the Moscow attack? When Gravik comes back to the base after being named General in the second episode, he tells one of the women that he couldn't have done it without her. And I don't think we saw that woman do anything beforehand. Did she pretend to be her to Talos to set them up? - When the council is breaking up after Gravik is named general, the woman who opposed walks out and there's a scene where she and G'iah look at each other in a way that clearly is supposed to mean something. But I think that was the only scene that person has been in through three episodes. Did they maybe switch places? - I don't think she's dead. Either it's not G'iah, or it's something like you said where she now has some kind of powers that allows her to be alive. Or maybe it's both?
I doubt the super skrull route for her. Gravik clearly is. She would of needed the doctors to upload them into her and they seem pretty loyal to Gravik.
I'm not a fan of the actors performance as Gravik at all. He's just a bit too over the top bad guy instead of playing it with some subtlety. If this show were better they could have done something interesting with the character but so far he's just bad for the sake of being bad.
Not a take I unexpected to see, his scene with Mendelsohn amazing. Great chemistry with Clarke as well. He’s no where in the Sam Jackson/Coleman/Mendelsohn range but I thinks he’s been good.
I think his personality stuff makes sense with what they're doing. If anything, my critique about would be more that he went from 0 to 200 in no time without much of a bad guy career in between before he decided to turn his entire race into super soldiers before eradicating the earth of 7 billion people at once. Kind of seems like we're missing some steps. And they've been giving us some flashback scenes the last few episodes and maybe they show some of that in the last three episoes.
Maybe that's it. I don't know. So far Marvel's attempts at portraying terrorist's has fallen flat for meb
Feels like 6 episodes isn’t near enough to flesh out all they want to flesh out with Gravik, Fury’s wife, Rhodes, Fury leaving saber, Ghia/Talos, and everything else. Give me 9, 48 minute episodes so we can let some of this stuff breathe.
The Marvel format for shows just doesn't feel like it works. It ends up not being much longer than a film a lot of times. Just cut into 6 pieces.
There have been 9 MCU shows on D+... WandaVision Falcon & Winter Soldier Loki What If...? Hawkeye Moon Knight Ms. Marvel She-Hulk Secret Invasion This one isn't over yet, and What If...? is in a different category. Of the seven we're talking about, I enjoyed five. And I would say I really enjoyed three (Loki, Hawkeye and Moon Knight). That seems like a pretty solid hit rate to me. I think the shows coming up after Loki s2 are looking very weak to me, though.
For me so it's basically Loki and Hawkeye and to a lesser extent Wanda Vision for at least trying something different.
Was Moon Night the most polarizing show? I thought it was amazing, but it doesn’t get as much love as Loki or Hawkeye.
Probably so. See a lot of people say they loved it but I was fairly unimpressed with it. Oscar Isaac did a good job obviously but overall thought it was just okay.
I think there are just fewer people watching them as time goes on. Seemed like everyone was in on WV, Loki and F&WS, but as some of the discontent with the movies in the MCU has happened, kind of seems like fewer people are watching the shows.
That's kind of where I'm at on Moon Night. It was fine, but I wasn't watching breakdowns and anticipating the next episode like I was for some of the other shows. I would say Loki, Hawkeye, WandaVision, Ms. Marvel, and What If? have been the shows I have enjoyed with Loki and What If? being my favorites. Falcon & Winter Soldier is in the fine category with Moon Night and probably would have been better had they not cut out the virus storyline (thanks Covid). She-Hulk was meh. Secret Invasion is currently bordering between meh and fine (haven't watched this week's episode yet).
I just wanted more action sequences myself. Other than that minor complaint I really enjoyed MK. Him fighting was just really cool to watch so I’m a greedy little pig and wanted more.
I guess Werewolf by Night wasn’t a series but that shit was badass. Definitely going to be in the October rotation leading up to Halloween. Same as Hawkeye will be in the Christmas lineup.
It’s the one thing I want more of content wise because I don’t know much about it from the comics but it’s really fascinating.
Just finished the new episode and yeah that really leaped the series forward. I have my complaints with Marvel but they usually pick up their shit and make hits so I’m always a fan. Robot Feige has a path and it’s usually a pretty good ride to get there.
One of the waitresses in that first restaurant had to be Colbie Smulders. Only on screen for 1/2 second but looks just like her. If not they found the doppelgänger.
If a piece of content were to focus on Nick Fury, I would assume it would include/focus on some proper spy work. This is inane.
None of them actually died on screen, it’s was pretty clear Spoiler You seen the price of CGI? In this economy!?
Yea, seemed like a pretty dumb false flag plan. Kill one guy and it unravels easily…”hey guys, I don’t think these are actually Russians.”
This is just a waste of an interesting idea at this point. Just a bunch of random shit happening with nothing tying anything together and things happening with no meaning attached. Just about everything in the last couple episodes is just absurd in every way. And Fury is clearly the villain of this story yet somehow will end up the hero because...? Like, the man's last act on earth before this was to collect blood from superheroes he recruited after they saved the world with the help of aliens only he knew about, and then he just left?
