I feel like the second season isn't worth it now for some reason. But you're telling me I should go ahead and watch it? I enjoyed the first season but after it went away I haven't found myself caring much about the second.Originally Posted by MrLobster

It really depends on how much teenage melodrama you can take... personally, I paused often to cope and maybe smack my head and maybe yell at how boneheaded the characters seem to be...

If you've followed the Thor comics it's pretty clear who he's playing, so this should be fun.

I haven't seen too many of these movie, and I know that some of the characters from different films share a universe.
Do you have to see these movies in order? For example, do I need to watch the first Iron Man movie before I see Endgame, etc.?
Trollhunter
It would be wisest to watch them all in order as tension and references happen throughout not to mention understanding the big story being told.

So, there are a couple of ways to watch the movies+TV shows, but the one I like is the chronological... (the TV shows aren't particularly important to the movies but they do help add further context to MCU...).

Care to share? I keep seeing people in comments, YouTube channels, and website articles suggesting characters like Gorr the god butcher, Adam Warlock, Hercules, and Beta Rey Bill. I never read any of the Thor comics, so I'm totally in the dark.
BADGERS
I don't think it would be Gorr, that a wildly dark and large scale story.
He's most likely playing Dario Agger, the CEO of an energy company called Roxxon, he's basically an Elon Musk meets Tony Stark type, but he's also outrageously evil. In the comics, Thor takes up an inaugural shield agents gag ask for a date, and they end up hitting it off. She specialises in environmentalism and a series of events leads to her helping Thor identify Dario as a major threat. One of the stranger elements of the story is the Darrio sues Thor for attacking Roxxon when they deliberately choose to over mine a small town in oaklahoma and ruin it with gentrification.
Christian Bale is an extremely good fit for Darrio, much more so than those other characters.

Thanks @Wretchedest , that's good information for those not in the know with the comics. Would love to see Bale take on that kind of role afer reading a bit more on Dario Agger. But it still would involve some CGI with his Minotaur, incarnation, no?
Personally I'd love to see a totally whacky Beta Ray Bill portrayal with Bale voicing the character. Seeing that they cut him out of Ragnarok apparently or at least he had a small role in the script apart from that little cameo. Waititi seems perfect to put him on the big screen. Either way I'd love to see Marvel give Thor a couple of more movies as he's my favorite Avenger still with the current universe after Ragnarok. Or maybe Beta Ray Bill will play a role in the new Guardians if Warlock is not on the menue. Either way, the new Thor along with Guardians is what I'm looking forward to the most.
Black Widow? Not so much after the trailers although Florence Pugh kicks ass. And of course I'm dying to see what Serkis is doing with Venom 2. So far it looks promising and I honestly really liked the first one apart from some minor issues.
And I still don't know how to feel about Immortals and Shang Chi. Give us a trailer already! :P
Only By Night
A scene of him feeding his lawyers to some bears will probably never happen.. But a reveal of his true form could go incredibly good, or horrifically bad. Super intrigued if this happens.

Annnnnd New Mutants has been delayed again, but this is due to the virus along with a LOAD of other films. I did get an email from my local cinema chain explaining there would be a number of big films being delayed but they would follow advice and try and offer a service...this is seriously worrying for a load of companies.

this is a good time to try out a feature film streaming service for homes. $20 rentals for three days but it's first-run films, something like that.
Active Member
Theory, wouldn't that lead to more pirating of movies?
Active Member
That's not a theory, that's a certainty. I mean how easy is it for you to find anything that's streaming-specific on a torrent site? but I think that the potential is there provided there's some smart protection caveats.
I'm not smart so I can't think of what that might be.

Black Widow officially delayed to an as-yet-announced date.
Active Member
That scene where Elektra takes over The Hand in The Defenders.... great, just great.
Active Member
well would you look at that. I should be an analyst.
Active Member
so I just realized today I have a crush on Scarlett Johnanson....better late than never!

After re-watching S1 of The Punisher it reminded me quite of bit of the structure of S1 of Jessica Jones... sure, The Punisher has more gore and bullets but the dealing with unresolved traumas in maladaptive ways are strong themes in both.

Some news and some rumors out there right now...friend linked me to this guy who clearly im very late to the game on...Everything Always on youtube. Lotta followers. Videos seem to all be about superhero movie & tv news and rumors...
The Brood looks almost certainly to be the upcoming big bad for the next phase of cosmic stuff (this one is really good bc you get some stuff straight from Waititi):
Jim Halpert directing FF/starring as Reed Richards?
Sam Raimi now official as Doctor Strange 2 director:
Active Member
I watch a decent amount of that guy's videos. Oddly enough, I was actually watching one on rumors about a "The New Avengers" movie when I saw your post. Sometimes they seem plausible, likely, and even probable. Sometimes they seem far-fetched or unlikely, so I just take everything they report with a grain of salt.
Active Member
Agreed. I only posted the few I watched that had more concrete info in them. He def. had some others i was listening to that were filled with alot more rumors & speculation that weren't necessarily based in anything concrete. The stuff about the Brood being the big bad for the cosmic characters seems pretty plausible.

The sequel film Venom: Let There Be Carnage has been delayed to June 25, 2021
Throbbing Member
Hopefully that delay gives them time to realize that that title is horrible.
Only By Night
Just found out from James Gunn himself that Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper have never been on the set for any GOTG films? I understand they just record after the movie is shot, but... Never?
Active Member
Why do they have to be on set at all? Both are voice-acting roles...
Only By Night
Again, I understand how voice acting works. With the Marvel family being so close, I figured they would at least be invited for a day? Just seems odd to me.
BADGERS
Am I the only one losing my shit waiting for New Mutants?
Only By Night
You're not alone. Even with all the terrible delays, I think it will still be a nice little surprise for us mutant fans.
