Hero-of-Time Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Just finished Ms Marvel. As a whole series it wasn't great. The last two episodes felt completely rushed. The pacing of some of their shows is something Disney continue to struggle with and it shows here. Reveal hidden contents So this is how the X-Men and Mutants got revealed for the MCU. Not with a bang but with a whimper. Pretty disappointed by it but hopefully this means moves to make the X-Men relevant in the MCU will be happening sooner rather than later. No idea what the Captain Marvel post credits scene was about but I assume it will get cleared up in The Marvels. @bob I also wondered about that hole as well.

Expand Reveal hidden contents I'm interested, how else would you have wanted them to do it? Multiverse incursion? Suddenly appearing out of nowhere and revealing they've been around all along? Something else? I think they had to low key introduce the idea, which then allows them to build up to something bigger. You couldn't have started the MCU with the first Avengers film! Doing it how they have firstly introduces the idea of mutant genes, and the fact that there needs to be some sort of 'event' to trigger them, in this case the bangle which I think is probably ancient Kree tech. I think Ms Marvel was the perfect choice as well. Yes in the comics she was an Inhuman, but she was originally meant to be a Mutant. It was only because some of the higher ups at Marvel didn't want to produce Mutant based comics whilst Fox had the movie rights, so they pushed Inhumans instead. Wouldn't surprise me if in the 616 Universe Mutants and Inhumans are merged together. Looks like I'm in the minority in this place, but I'll say it again. I really enjoyed Ms Marvel and am now actually really looking forward to The Marvels.
Happenstance Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 Just finished the first episode of She Hulk and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the rest of the season.

Hero-of-Time Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Another good episode of She-Hulk. Reveal hidden contents The conversation about Hawkeye and his arrows was great. Very interested in what Blonsky said about his 7 soul mates. I wonder if that hints towards something like Thunderbolts or Dark Avengers? I was a bit bummed that the episode was so short. I could have happily watched it for longer. 1
Happenstance Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Reveal hidden contents Oooh, Wolverine in the MCU! 1
Hero-of-Time Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 Another fun episode of She-Hulk this week. This is fast becoming my favourite Marvel show.

bob Posted September 2, 2022 Author Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) They are short. Only half an hour compared to the usual 40-45 minutes. EDIT: Apparently this show is 9 episodes long, rather than 6, so that explains the shorter episode lengths. Edited September 2, 2022 by bob
Happenstance Posted September 22, 2022 Posted September 22, 2022 Thought this week's episode of She Hulk was the first dud. Didn't click for me at all.

Happenstance Posted September 25, 2022 Posted September 25, 2022 Finally got around to watching Thor: Love & Thunder. I thought it was good but not amazing, kind of struggled in the shadow of Ragnarok and I think they went a bit too far with the jokes. Some didn't hit to the point where it felt more embarrassing than anything else. Also thought that Jane's story in this could have used an extra movie to build her up more. Felt like she got the short end of the stick.

The one joke I was in stitches in was... Reveal hidden contents We will return with children. Many children! And then we will feast! Not on the children. We do not do that any more. Those were dark times. The way the line was delivered was fantastic. 2

My favourite line ended up being: Reveal hidden contents Jane saying her name was The Mighty Thor but if Gorr couldn't say that the Dr Jane Foster would do. Despite really liking the line it's actually one of the areas where I think more focus on her would have helped. It felt like it was cut from a separate storyline where it was at that moment she realised that Jane herself was amazing and enough, not needing to be Thor all the time. I probably like the line so much because I wrote that part of the story in my head 😆 Edited September 25, 2022 by Happenstance 1
Happenstance Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 Not actually sure which Phase this falls under so I'll put it here for now. 2 1
drahkon Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 I have no interest in Marvel and I've only watched the first Deadpool, but I do love me some Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman 1 1
Hero-of-Time Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 Honestly, this is the most i've been excited about a Marvel product in a long time.
BowserBasher Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 So how long before someone is able to lipread that second trailer and give details of what was said?
Hero-of-Time Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 Another poor episode of She-Hulk. The story has just kinda stalled these past couple of weeks. I'm not even sure what the end game is for the season.
