#XMen97 is some of the best work #MarvelStudios has done in years. People who complain about 'comic accuracy' don't understand that what the #MCU does best is take the BEST elements of several stories to tell one cohesive story and tell it well.
“Trial of Magneto,” Lifedeath,” “Inferno,” “E is for Extinction,” “Operation: Zero Tolerance,” Fatal Attractions.” All there, & more.
@jacklaridian I definitely remember being baffled when the original X-Men cartoon blew through long-running stories like the Legacy Virus, the Age of Apocalypse, and The Phalanx Covenant in two episodes each.
Re-watching the series as an adult, I was really impressed by the economy of storytelling. Looking back, the comics told these long, meandering stories without knowing where they were going, and the TV series rolled right through to give them actual resolutions.
@Thad@jacklaridian There are advantages to letting a story become backdrop for a while, e.g the legacy virus, but the economy absolutely works for an action show like X-Men. That said, there is also too quick; the adaptation of Inferno felt very short-changed. I'd have taken another episode of that over weight-loss Mojo.
I was watching 'WANDAVISION' and people were losing their mind over Elizabeth Olsen's performance. Calling her mommy and simping over her. I was like jeez people, calm down. Then she made THIS face and I got it. 😍
6.5/10 for #TheMarvels, #MsMarvel stole the show, without her the movie would have been 4/10
Also ending of the movie + mid credit scene 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 #MCU#MarvelStudios
The Disney+ reboot "Daredevil: Born Again" may take longer to reach your screen than anticipated. After reviewing footage shot before the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes (Matt Murdoch did not don his Daredevil costume until Episode 4), Marvel Studios has quietly dismissed the head writers and any directors attached to the project. Replacements are being sought to 'rethink' the intention of the series. #Daredevil#DaredevilBornAgain#MarvelStudios#DisneyPlus#Television#Streaming
So, the most recent rumors about the new #MarvelStudios#FantasticFour film is that they are testing out vintage-style lenses so they can shoot the the film in panavision and REALLY lean into the fact that it's a period piece from the sixties. If this is true, it could give it a VERY unique feeling unlike any other #MCU film. Movies from this era have a very distinct feel and if they can pull this off, it could be FANTASTIC!! 😎
I've not done a best-to-worst Marvel Studios' spin-off series list!
WandaVision
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
Loki
Werewolf by Night
What If...?
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special
She-Hulk
Ms. Marvel
Secret Invasion
It works for this story. Stop calling this 'the beginning of the end' because it's a series about not believing your own eyes and the stylized choice here works. Until this becomes a trend, maybe just calm down with the 'slippery slope' bullshit. This style won't work in most situations, but it works for the themes of the series. The most important thing it does is start a conversation that parallels the human shells with the exploited artists. All in all, very interesting choice #MarvelStudios
Watched the first episode of #SecretInvasion , the new #MarvelStudios show on Disney+. I really liked it, though it's taking a bit of work to remember who everyone is and where and when they fit in.
I'm watching Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn and seeing Mace Windu chatting with Krennic. And then Krennic turns out to be the father of Kira, a young Han Solo's love interest.
Hey, they brought back Cobie Smulders. And then killed her off in the first episode? But she's in the poster. Maybe she'll be back in flashbacks? #SecretInvasion /3 end
In an interview with The Direct, Iman Vellani commented on the role #KamalaKhan will have in the upcoming #MarvelZombies animated show:
"there are a lot of cool characters in the 'Marvel Zombies' show. And Kamala is kind of the center of the show. They described it to me, it's like, 'She's basically the Frodo of the story.' And I was like, 'That's amazing.'”
