Marvel Cinematic Universe Part II

[Tofali]

Can someone explain to me how Don Cheadle got nominated for an Emmy for Falcon and Winter Soldier? I like Don Cheadle a lot, he's a fabulous actor, but that's full bonkers

To get an Emmy nomination or a win all an actor or actress needs is to submit a good to great reel (well that’s how Daytime Emmys works because I don’t think the ppl that vote even bother watching full episodes or season of a show - maybe in certain categories like best drama and even then I don’t think they even bother) and a guest star is the easiest category for one to get a nomination

Sigh

Loki is just another example why I will always prefer the MCU movies.

spoilers:

oh yay, 6 hours and nothing was resolved at all! A cliffhanger! oh and remember when Kevin said TV shows weren't required viewing? lol

end of spoilers

Time travel was and is always a bad plot idea.

Oh, I thought were talking about families getting targeted...

I think we were talking about both. Maybe I messed up

Time travel isn't always a bad idea.

And I've heard people complain these shows haven't led enough into the MCU

Damn, looks like Syvlie and Lokie are gonna be enemies next season. Was pretty interesting how "Immortus" snuck in some comicbook lore by explaining that him and his duplicates were all thinking about the multiverse and came to interact that way.

This finale was so damn boring.

This finale was so damn boring.

I watched episode 5 and went "how are they going the wrap this up in one episode"

guess it is easy to do if you just... don't lol.

All that talking & nothing is being said so annoying & boring as hell 30 minutes of them at the desk talking. Like I didn't need a big CGI fight, but Jesus was I not entertained in the slightest.

MCU: The Neverending Story

But there is a fun to it because it leaves you wanting more and excited to see the new surprises; in that way the MCU is just like comic books. So I can't begrudge it too much

The only other time the MCU didn't end a story was Infinity War.

They always end the main story while dropping some teases. That is fine.

LIke, WV... I didn't like the ending but the main storyline of Westview or whatever resolved. Then they teased "more" with the Darkhold stuff. I'm cool with it.


With this... the story was the tease.

Except WV was a mini series, while Loki is having a second season-- in which they have to build upon what's already there. They did a very good job of it too.

If alternative timelines/parallel universes are used to "fix" stories in the main timeline/universe too often, then I think time travel/alternative realities COULD be extremely problematic. Bill & Ted, Back to the Future and Quantum Leap were fine to me, but I was never a fan of how comic books handled these wacky concepts. We'll see how Feige deals with them in the future.

[Albert1981]

I'm fine with humor but I think sometimes they take the quips a little too far and negate the seriousness of the situation.

To me a public identity means eschewing a balance and dedicating to one side more than another. But I also find that struggle for balance engaging and commendable moreso than just giving it up.

I personally don't see it that way, but to each their own.

I don't see it as making them less unsettling or questionable than public identity heroes who, more or less, do the same stuff.

It happens often enough that I don't think it had anything to do with Civil War.

Like, Spider-Man being wanted by police has been a thing since the Silver Age.

That never really stopped the Justice League.

In a world where people often wear masks in private or public it seems pretty believable to me. And I think the only Superheroes who need to be celebrities are the FF, Zatanna, and Booster Gold.

I mean, does everyone Peter Parker knows needs to know he's Spider-Man? I can understand family and lover but I feel like there are degrees there.

I like it when heroes refer to each other on a first or last name basis.

Ok even with a S2 I feel a finale shouldn't just be regulated to set up, it's a finale certain things should feel final this entire last episode feels more like the episode you have before the finale. It just wasn't the move IMO.
