CBM: X-Men '97; Deadpool and Wolverine trailer

The animated Avengers reboot is super awful. The last one was somewhat watchable but they really really dumbed this new one down. They clearly are trying to capitalize on the Hulk's popularity from the movie by playing him up in this series and then they also have a standalone Hulk cartoon.

The Hulk has always been one of my least favorite characters, makes it unbearable.
 
Agents of SHIELD's ratings dropped again last night. Surprising, I thought it would have gotten a decent bump.
 
Ratings being down may be tied to people wanting to wait until they got to see TWS to avoid spoilers. The lead-up and immediate aftermath have been talked about for weeks after all. I would imagine that internet viewing of that episode would be higher than normal. It's amazing how many gambles MCU has taken that have wound up with major pay offs.

Use a network of killer satellites controlling stealth drones instead of the helicarriers. The control room for the satellites is deep in the Triskelion. Steve breaks in, makes his speech, fights his way to the control room while the same drama plays out with Pierce and Jackson and Natasha up in the conference room. Climactic battle with TWS happens in the control room. Come up with something for Falcon to do flying around outside - maybe some loyal SHIELD agents are trying to fight back in an air battle with those cool airplanes. Unnecessary disaster porn eliminated, the drama is preserved, and a tiny bit of believable realism is injected into the situation.

Seems like pretty much the same thing.
 
So your problem with a movie about a guy who is injected with super-roids, frozen in the arctic for 65 years, and nearly invulnerable; a guy who has a metal/computerized arm who is cryogenically frozen and thawed at will for 65 years; a man who has a winged jet pack suit; a man who turned himself into a computer system circa 1972; set in a world post alien-invasion that has also proven that the Norse gods exist; is that three helicarriers get needlessly destroyed and have the computer core in an easily accessible area?
 
Yes dammit. Don't judge me.



ETA: what I am complaining about is not so much the lack of realism. It's the unnecessary disaster porn. The whole movie was based on intrigue and tension, and that kind of gets lost when the end piece is this huge explosion fest.

I dig it, but it's not nearly as cool as Superman's 75th anniversary video:

 
This is the first of two Batman shorts. The second will be based on the Batman Beyond animated series and come out later this month.

Disney/Marvel Studios is just swinging big dick at this point. We shouldn't underestimate the enormity of what they've done. They put out a movie that made over $200M foreign in about 2 weeks and $100M domestic in 4 days. Then on the 5th day, they spoiled the hell out of the movie giving away almost all the major plot points at 8:00 on ABC. And it was awesome. I spoiled myself by reading this thread before seeing the episode and the reveal was still great.

I should have known after the kiss that Ward was going to be Hydra. And shooting Nash was definitely a tip. The shot of Hand's hair and the bloody hand at the end was fantastic.

The best thing about this is typically this would be the season finale. Instead, we see the show and MCU story continue for 6 more eps. AOS is the only earth-bound MCU we get until Age of Ultron. People need to get on board.

By the way, the title of the ep was a huge tip. "Turn, Turn, Turn" is what Garrett said to Skye last week.

Who else has the show featured from SHIELD who isn't dead or presumably on one side or the other?
 
I count them as presumably SHIELD since they could have easily flipped or revealed their HYDRA allegiance.

Interesting Latino Review column on TWS/AOS. I agree with some, disagree with some, but I think this part I hadn't thought of makes a lot of sense.

I cheered – CHEERED – when May revealed that each member of Coulson’s Team was chosen in case they had to turn on Coulson with all the Kree bio-tech coursing through him. I love the idea that Deathlok’s story line can be read as a lesser Winter Soldier – a good man in bad circumstances saved by evil HYDRA tech. I enjoy that Coulson’s team came across a HYDRA terrorist cell early on in the series thinking they were a remnant, but revealing that HYDRA collecting alien technology is the underlying backbone of the story that will bring us Quicksilver and The Scarlet Witch in Avengers: Age of Ultron.


Basically, S.H.I.E.L.D. suddenly revealed that it was important and for people like me that parse through what’s happening in the megafranchise, the pieces were well laid through the entire series that HYDRA was in S.H.I.E.L.D. that alien technology was being stolen and combined with Extremis and that Nick Fury is totally aware the Kree have been to Earth. It’s almost congruent to the point that Captain America: The Winter Soldier fails for not addressing anything fantastical – aliens, Asguardians, Stark tech.

The Deathlok = Winter Soldier connection was staring us right in the face.
