It was an unrelated film that they added the ending to, to tie it into cloverfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m the one person.) Cloverfield Paradox was bloody terrible though, which doesn’t fill me with hope for Cap 4. You’re not alone. Eternals is overlong, and crams too many characters into it, but it’s a beautifully shot film and I think the a tut story was really interesting. Great cast as well. Mostly, still not a fan of Kit Harington.  I thought Falcon and Winter Soldier was pretty meh until the mid point of the season. Now I’m really looking forward to Cap 4. Also really pleased to see that’s the version of Captain America they have to meet in the Theme Parks as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 New Thor was saved by Hemsworth still being as charming as hell and some funny moments. But fuck me its a mess. Marvel aren't even bothering at the moment. People will show up for any old shit (of which i was one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathrey Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I'm hoping to go and see Thor tomorrow but I've heard very mixed reviews. Rather than assuming this is down to Marvel, I've kind of felt its something to do with Taika Waititi becoming insufferable and disappearing up his own arse?

The stuff they let him do in Ragnorak was so well received that they seem to have given him free reign and it's gone too far. I've seen people complain that it's a comedy, but it's not. It comes across as one of those unrated or alternative cuts of a movie, where they add in the ad-libs to make different scenes, except they used the unfunny ones. It really could have done with someone to oversee it to say 'these are your key scenes and structure, these are the scenes you can piss about in' It's 100% a movie that's been made in the edit and it shows (to the point there's a Variety clip of Taika talking and Tessa points out the shot they used of her is from a different scene and he didn't notice. I'm not sure if that's because it was shot during Covid and most of the people weren't in the same room but there's something off about the whole thing.

Factotum Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 It is better than JOJO RABBIT. Then again the actual war was more enjoyable than JOJO RABBIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnitedEmpireEra Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) I have long since waited for Sandman to be made into a TV show and the pilot is mere weeks away.  Neil Gaiman was always a favourite of mine as a teen. Reading Preacher and Sandman was always a great way to pass the time (I was never a fan of lucifer) Since then I’ve read most of Gaiman’s books and find most to be worth reading especially American Gods.  Sandman was always my favourite though. I love how Gaiman added Greek mythology and such in to his comics.  Netflix are releasing the show in August if it’s half as good as Preacher then it’s certainly one to watch out for.   Edited July 13, 2022 by UnitedEmpireEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathrey Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I'm very much looking forward to Sandman too. Neil Gaiman has been posting little snippets on his Instagram and it really looks great. The show I'm most excited to watch this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted July 13, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 13, 2022 Ms Marvel last episode As a series I really liked it. It never quite managed to re-hit the heights of the first 3 episodes and the family dynamic and community was the best part of it and genuinely felt different to everything else. When they actually started doing the superhero stuff in eps 4 and 5 it actually felt like a CW show, which isn't a knock on them, it just felt generic, especially the action and CGI. It felt very 'TV' The lead is a natural and considering it was the first series that didn't have an established star/ character it did a great job and looking forward to seeing what they do with her. Also... Spoiler They just casually introduced mutants into the MCU in a throwaway line and a musical cue.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I should be looking forward to Sandman but an adaptation has been in development hell for decades and that's never a good sign. I thought American God's was dogshit, started off by nailing the vibe but quickly fell apart. Good Omens was decent and mostly worked due to the chemistry between the two leads.

Factotum Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Great memories of reading Sandman. They seem like they've got the tone right so fingers crossed it doesn't go to the way of American Gods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 14, 2022 Moderators Share Posted July 14, 2022 Sandman on Audible was so well executed I'm not really particularly interested in watching the show. Not something I feel I need. I'll check it out if it gets rave reviews, but I'm not bothered about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathrey Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) I went to see Thor, it was ok. I can't really muster up much more enthusiasm about it than that so take that for what you will. You're not missing anything if you don't see it, but it passed 2 hours in a nice cold cinema. Edited July 14, 2022 by deathrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
