Man, that Electro Miles Morales foreshadowing really gave me the feels. Such a well-written line. Made me really excited and hopeful to see Miles pop up soon.


A lot of people seem to be calling for the Amazing Spiderman 3 and for Garfield to be the Sony Universe Spiderman for Venom/Morbius and all that. I'd rather they give him one redemption movie with a hand off to Miles as the Sony Spiderman. He already had a great showing in Into the Spiderverse!
 
I actually find it difficult, for any movie, in theaters. Sensory overload for me, I think. Sound, while great, is too loud, the screen is so big I feel like my eyes are trying to focus on more than one thing at a time, etc. if any of that make sense.

I love going to the theater, but I feel like I settle in and am able to grasp content more while at home.
I’m finding it just the opposite right now. Visually impaired (in part recovering from retina surgery), I find myself desperately trying to pick out details on the screen. I saw Eternals late (because of the surgery), and picking up the subtitles was murder on me.

When I see No Way Home again, probably tomorrow, I’ll sit even closer to the screen.

Oh—and at least now we have a better idea just what “No Way Home” actually means!
 
I know this is a Marvel thread but I think there might be some people in here who will appreciate this. (We really need to get him to drop one of these in an MCU movie, I would go bananas ;))


The crowd at the credits scene in Avengers Infinity War at my showing went bananas when Nick Fury started to say that phrase while getting blipped.
 
A little off subject, but does anyone else think Dr Strange is just lazy? I think back to Infinity War/End Game frequently. 14 million some odd outcomes, and he only found 1 where they won?

Is it a “lost keys” situation, where “they are always the last place you look”, or was it more sinister and the “1” way was the one he wanted?
 
Just got back from No Way Home. I loved the movie, however I missed this part of the movie:

There was the moment when Tobey and Andrew were talking just before the big battle and the 2 masks were just hanging on the scaffolding. I wanted them to throw them on really quickly, but to have accidentally put on the wrong one.
 
I actually googled how many post credit scenes there were…in the theater, as the credits started opening day.

Just in case you missed (not sure if this is exactly the same)


That looks fantastic.
 
See my post above for the canonicity of the Marvel Netflix shows at this point. As for the quality of the Marvel Netflix shows and whether you should watch, most would agree the real answer is that you are dealing with a completely mixed bag, which is everyone's biggest criticism of the old Marvel TV division. For as much as we like to knock them for creating some of the worst Marvel shows of all-time like that of Inhumans or Iron Fist, at the same time, they also gave us some of the best we've ever seen, even soaring to heights the new MCU TV shows have yet to reach. They do deserve credit for that and am waiting personally for Feige to hit some of these similar quality levels. At the same time, at least Feige has been way more consistently good so far with what he has put out. With all that said, I figure the best thing at this point to show quality is by comparing them to what most have seen so far in Marvel Studios canon shows (Wandavision, Hawkeye, Loki, FATWS). Here is my breakdown:

Better than any of the MCU TV series we've seen thus far:
-Daredevil S1
-Daredevil S2 (first half of the season with the Punisher is better than second half, but still overall very good)
-Daredevil S3 (best Marvel TV season ever made)
-Punisher S1

On-Par with MCU TV series:
-Jessica Jones S1

A little worse to decently worse than any MCU TV series we've seen thus far:
-Luke Cage S1 (first half really good, second half not)
-Luke Cage S2
-Punisher S2
-Defenders
-Jessica Jones S2
-Iron Fist S2 (Finn Jones as Iron Fist is still really bad, but writing was better in general)

Way wores than any MCU TV series we've seen thus far:
-Iron Fist S1
-Jessica Jones S3

From a continuity perspective providing you don't want to watch all of these, I'd recommend watching all 3 Daredevil seasons with The Defenders in-between S2 and S3. For watching good quality shows purposes, I'd tag Punisher S1 on the end as well.

I somewhat agree with you, however I actually would rank Jessica Jones S1 better than Daredevil S3, probably due to Kilgrave being such an awesome villain—probably even one of the best if you included the MCU.

Luke Cage S1 and S2 and Punisher S2 I’d call, “Little worse than MCU TV” and probably should be segregated from the “decently worse than MCU TV.” LC S1/S2/Punisher S2 each had good-to-terrific villains (Cottonmouth/Mariah/Bushmaster/Pilgrim) and were good stories, just slower pacing and lower production than MCU.
 
I need to fire up Daredevil. I’ve not seem it. How does it compare in kid friendliness to the MCU movies? Little JM has seen all of them but I’m wondering if these Netflix shows take things up a level, if that makes sense.

I've only seen a bit of the first 2 episodes of Daredevil, and I'd say it's not kid friendly at all.

All the Netflix shows would be in the "R" rated category mainly due to their violence, increased sexualty, and more mature themes. Some more than others. However, I don't remember nudity in any if them and there is shockingly very little language. Speaking specifically for Daredevil, it's mostly just "R" rated violence.

Good to know. Thanks fellas! Gonna fire up the last Hawkeye and was gonna roll right into Daredevil. I’m glad a I asked!
 
The thing that ruined Daredevil for me was the side characters. Karen was ok, but she worked better as a foil for the Punisher than she did as one for Daredevil. Then Foggy, I damn near fast forwarded every time he showed up on screen. I don’t know how Elden Henson became a worse actor since his days on the first mighty ducks team, but he accomplished it.

For me the best things about Daredevil were Charlie Cox as Daredevil and Jon Berenthal as Frank Castle. Otherwise everything else was pretty forgettable.
 
Hawkeye episode 6 = very solid


the watch. Do we know what it is? Did I miss something? What’s its significance?

Little JM and I cracked up at the people who showed up looking like Zelda to help lol

And that post credit scene…. What in the hell was that? I told him I wish I had the time stone to get that time back. Woof.

The watch has the shield logo and 19. She was a shield agent (agent 19) who in the comics was known as Mockingbird.

Laura used to be a SHIELD Agent. Agent 19 was Mockingbird's old title. I looked it up today to see what part I was missing there.
