I'm glad this is coming back. I was just about to cancel my D+ subscription. Nothing they've done has grabbed me the way WandaVision and What If... did... So I guess this'll give them a 9 day respite. Well, some of the Star Wars stuff has been cool too.
Daredevil being in "No Way Home" and "She-Hulk" and Kingpin being in "Hawkeye" was enough. It's up to the "it's not canon because I don't want it to be" people to write their way out of it. Burden's on them, not me.
I finished What If..? Season two and I liked it, but I think season one was better. I really liked the 1602 episode.
Resumes completely re-shooting a season because it was so appallingly bad they couldn't even stand to shove it out on the streaming site that hosted Willow and Shulk.
It seems more like Feige originally wanted to put his own stamp on something that worked while at Netflix for no particularly good reason. Like dunking on Jeph Loeb or something. But pretty much everyone who watched the three seasons of Daredevil enjoyed them. So there's no reason to not have Foggy and Karen be part of the new season, no reason to not basically pick up from where the previous seasons left off, and no reason to make clear that those seasons were part of the MCU, not just the new one.
Ike Perlmutter ran the TV side then, and he's a piece of shit. Oh! Forgot to post about it, but he's trying to use lawyers, shares, and leverage to battering-ram his way back into Marvel. They don't want him back. But if his lawyers tapdance just right, and say the right spells, and sprinkle the right herbs, he could come back. And he's an "anti-woke" Trumper turd nugget. So, that's fun. Oh, and lest a CHUD think he's their hero, "Inhumans" was all his baby.
So, I Googled Ike Perlmutter to make sure I was spelling his name right, and the top result is Midnight's Edge, the bastion of "we swear to god we're not right-wing shitbags" bias-free free-thought journalism, and they're basically all "ohhhh, Ike Perlmutter!! Ohhh!! Ohhh!! Ohhh!!!! ". Jeez, what a shocker. I totally never would have called that.
Neill Blomkamp's Alien 5 was going to be a "what if...?" that deleted Alien 3 & 4 and had Ripley, Newt, and Hicks all live, then re-unite years later. They tried to get that sucker going all the way up to "Prometheus". I like the artsy-fartsy-ness the "Prometheus" & "Covenant" duology are going for, but in hindsight, I would have been happier with Blomkamp's. Although!! Terminator 6 gave us one last nostalgia ride with Linda Hamilton, and that's a mess. So...maybe we're better off.
Yeah, but the plot kind of says everything in all the other movies didn't matter. If there's always a Skynet, and always a John, all the tension of saving John was a waste of emotional investment.
I read it as saying you can't just rely on beating the machines, you've got to fight human nature too. Otherwise, not much of a victory. In many ways, SNW is doing much the same with the ST timeline as we saw last season with Khan/altKirk episode, albeit to try and explain away canon changes rather than humans gonna human.
Xmen 97 watched the first episode well, it's go the visual style and stentorian voice acting. replacement voices aren't great-Rogue is especially bad. ignores a bit of the continuity (as I recall it) right out of the gate as I'm pretty sure they'd at least encountered Sunspot in the original. Still, nice moment of nostalgia.
I looked it up and Rogue is one of the few original voice actresses returning from the 92 series. I assume any change to her voice is due to being nearly 30 years older. I was always aware of the original cartoon but never really watched it but seeing this '97 show has gotten me to finally peek in on that one.
So in the first two episodes the Rogue voice actress sounded off to me, but by the third episode she sounded the same.
Am I the only one who thinks they're going to ultimately cross the animated X-Men into live-action, and have them be the MCU reboot X-Men?
Second. The MCU through Endgame was a one in a generation fluke that will never be replicated and at this point they need to stop trying. Even WB has given up the ghost on its DCEU and allowing more standalone movies.
