@Greggulator, you didn’t recognize former board posters Makabe and Suge D (I believe under those usernames)?
I need to finish the show and catch the Makabe/Thatcher match. Of the matches I saw, I loved Slim J/Priest. One of my biggest complaints about modern day wrestling is the overly choreographed aspect of it, where guys are clearly moving into position or standing around waiting with their back turned long enough to take me out. This match, on the other hand, went 100 mph and was hard hitting, just a great, fun match. This is the first time I’ve seen Priest, and I agree with whomever I saw on Twitter say he’s like a more charismatic Jaime Noble.

Does IWTV allow you to start a show in progress from the beginning?
I’m looking forward to the show tonight. I don’t post on the boards much outside of the comic movie threads, but it’s been cool seeing the board come together to recognize Dean. Thank you to everyone who has made this board a big part of so many people’s fandom and lives!

I wonder if they don’t just transition to replacing Kang with Doom with a few minor tweaks to their story. Seems like it might help set up the Fantastic Four a little more.

Hey I liked Dakota Johnson in the Peanut Butter Falcon.
I just finished the Hawkeye series and I think it's definitely my favorite of these D+ Marvel Series. I came to the realization that the D+ series are a sort of a justification to have the streaming platform and quantity was more important than quality, but if you adjust your expectations, it's perfectly cromulent. I also enjoyed She-Hulk.
I view the MCU like this: the Avengers are the special event comics, most solo movies are the characters solo series, and the D+ shows are kinda like the limited series that come out during the special event.

The one thing I keep trying to figure out at the 1:48 mark of the trailer is if that’s a Doombot.
I had the same thought. Presumably not, although if they’re in a void world leftover from the Fox movies, it could be a Fox doombot.
ETA: The cover of the Secret Wars comic shown in the trailer has Doom on the cover, so who knows.

This is legit one of Disney’s biggest, most well-known and properties, especially when considering the fact it’s only been a Disney+ show. It’s nothing like the Marvels (which was actually good).
To clarify, by “this” I’m referring specifically to Mando & Grogu, not just Star Wars in general. You can’t escape the Grogu (and to a lesser extent Mando) merch in kids stuff(clothes, toys, seasonal merchandise).

After seeing the returns on the Marvels, you’d think Disney wouldn’t be so eager to push more chips in on film projects that demand some pre-knowledge of D+ shows. Of course it’s been so long since they managed to deliver one of their many announced movies in this part of their portfolio, so maybe there’s enough demand for big screen Star Wars to push this thing to Solo numbers.

Also buried in that article is a confirmation that they're beginning to work on Ahsoka season 2.
I will need more info on this movie before I get excited about it. (she says, lying like a liar)
This also appears to be a a different movie from the Filoni movie that is supposed to be the finale of his current shows’ arc.

I think I’m on the 4th episode of the current season, and it’s fine. So far I like the first season more, but I do like the kinda random team-ups in the first few eps.

I saw something on Twitter that I assume was a joke that Marvel was in talks with Ryan Gosling for an “undisclosed role” that people were presuming was Kang.

It was important to me that Sandy's first movie going experience was with me and NOT her mother was mainly my soon to be ex has shit taste in movies.
I knew Sandy would willing go to Across The Spider-Verse so that was her first movie theater trip. If I had known it 2 and half hours going in I would've waited but I will not trade the experience of my daughter in my lap, snuggling her daddy as we both watched Spider-Man together for anything
Some things are meant for a movie theater

This reminds me of taking my daughter to the first Spider-Verse and her just being completely captivated, wanting to know who everyone was. One of my favorite movie-going experiences.

I’m mildly amused by this response to the trailer because a) California and Texas being united is obviously one of the hooks for the trailer, and b) it isn’t actually set in “the real world,” but people are getting hung up on this as if it was.
Adding to the conversation about pre-COVID movies, I’m pretty sure the last one I saw in theaters before the shutdown was Frozen 2 (twice). The first one I saw after was Multiverse of Madness.

I’ll put this here instead of rebumping the Secret Invasion thread, but my daughter has been doing her yearly rewatched of the D+ Christmas movie Noelle, and I just now got that Jake in that movie was Kingsley Ben Adir.

...I want to see Kathryn Hahn chew scenery as a witch.
Same.
I mean, I’m pretty sure the show will be bad/tenuously related to the rest of the MCU, but I’ll be amused.

Honestly, I think the only thing that is required viewing before seeing this is Wandavision, and even that is kinda pushing it. They do a good job of setting up who Kamala is, but didn't really fill in the blanks for Monica. Also pretty much saw Wandavision though.
That reminds me, when Carol and Monica were discussing how Monica got powers, it felt like a perfect moment for an editors’ box saying “As seen in WandaVision ep. 7” or whichever ep it was.

Until I hear from people iknow, I’m content to wait for it to hit D+.
That’s probably a safe bet. It’s definitely a fun movie, but it’s nothing that you need to go out of your way to see unless you’re a big fan of the Ms. Marvel show.
-
Wow, I’m pretty sure I disagree with almost every part of that review, but the part I think I disagree with most is needing to see Secret Invasion. There’s essentially no mention of anything from that show, and arguably the Skrull situation in the movie almost entirely contradicts the situation from Secret Invasion.

This was a fun movie. I haven’t thought over the plot much, but it felt comic booky, mostly in a good way. They didn’t try to get too specific in explaining the whys/hows of the plot, which I thought helped. The run time was a good thing. Since this is the Marvels thread, I don’t think I need a spoiler box to say @Contentious Cwas spot on with the Captain Marvel sequel plot with Ms. Marvel tone.
FWIW, my 9 yr old, who’s only seen Ms Marvel and the Captain Marvel movie as far as the MCU goes, said it’s the best movie she’s ever seen. It may also be the first time watching a comic movie that she didn’t ever ask “who is that” or “what are they doing,” so she was able to keep up with things.
As for the spoilers, I think I was more excited for the last scene than the post-credit scene, but both were unexpected.

Not to get too speculative, but that final trailer, it’s tag line, the fact the Marvels drops the same day as the Loki S2 finale, and those leaks/reports that Marvel is looking to bring back the original Avengers could be lining up for some surprise big reveal.
-
The fact that Marvel has been as successful as it has been, while managing to pull a huge, interconnected universe while still giving directors/writers an apparently large degree of free reign is pretty impressive. They’ve got a cold streak after their first huge payoff, but they’ve also hit that Star Wars point where different people want and expect different things from it.
Overall, I’m just amused by people complaining about everything being interconnected, when that’s just comics after a certain point.

I’m pretty sure this isn’t the first time they’ve said you don’t need to watch other stuff to know what’s going on in a movie/show. Kinda like when they say it about comics, it’s usually bullshit.

I feel like I’m the past, there’s sometimes been synergy between the shows and movies when things have dropped at the same time, but not so much this time.
