MARVEL'S Secret Invasion

[Otomofan]

Gotta break out this old chestnut. Only Larry David can express the emotions I was feeling watching this trailer.

I thought the "Barbie" trailer, as hackneyed and formulaic as it is, was ten times more exciting than this.

Y’all talking about whatever this lame MCU **** is instead of Spider-Verse when that looks as amazing as it does.

This reminds me - I assume you saw the news about the Scott Pilgrim anime coming to Netflix? All the OG actors are returning to do the voices.

Haha yeah I saw that! Neat! Coincidentally I had watched that movie because of Captain Marvel

Scott pilgrim was so nostalgic for me. I remember starting college when it came out. Love the movie. Knives deserved better

Hearing really good things about this.

Looking forward to seeing some HT figures, maybe a new Mendo.

Hasbro are making Nick and Talos.

Wow, this premieres tomorrow and there's been no discussion here for over a month. Just as Wor-Gar prophesied, the end of the comic book movie/show era is at hand.

I listened to a podcast review of this the other day, first two episodes and they really liked it. Complained there was too much exposition up front but other than that thought it was excellent, very much in the CA:TWS espionage mould but with very little action. Excellent cast as well.

 

[Johnny Utah]

The weekly strategy is boring now. Hulu are releasing all of the Bear season 2 on Thursday, a smart move.

 

[Wor-Gar]

very much in the CA:TWS espionage mould

That would be awesome... but, I doubt it.

How about an espionage thriller with real people?

Hey if Ben Mendelsohn is in it as a werewolf in a toga, I’m there

 

[Johnny Utah]

Just watched his new movie To Catch a Killer, he's awesome as usual.

Tomorrow!

No way they used AI generated images for their intro credits. It looks so bad.

Damn, that does look awful. Of course the studio that overworks and mistreats their artists would use an AI program for the show's credits...

 

[RavenAsh]

Actually didn’t mind the first episode, largely thanks to the cast. However, I’ve liked episode 1s of Marvel shows often, and then it just gets worse every following week so…I guess we’ll see.

 

[chrisstbh]

Holy **** the dialogue is QUIET.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I guess we’ll see where this goes with only 6 episodes

I hate this, so much.

OK, AI generated credits notwithstanding this has the potential to be quite good. I didn't expect them to kill off a popular, longtime character like Maria Hill, so for a change there will be some uncertainty as to who will be left standing in the end. The identity of Emilia Clarke's character was telegraphed quite early in the episode, but despite that I thought they handled the plot twist involving her quite well. Hopefully we get some good backstory on (a) the Skrull leader, (b) Fury's relationship to him and (c) why Fury has changed "post blip". And that backstory had better not involve Fury's being the guy's daddy lol...
