I really enjoyed Bullseye
I like the whole diner scene. From him using everything around him including the ketchup. His throwing has that right but of cartoon logic meets horrible results. I actually imagined in my head a myth buster episode of everything he did like the velocity it would take to shoot a tooth pick through a straw to harpoon a human's eye.

Yeah White Tiger is an insane casting decision. What made them go with a 4ft tall goblin girl for the role?
>>
>>153154369
My sole complaint with Bullseye in Born Again is that there's too much ricocheting and throwing multiple objects at once. In the original series, you could follow the trajectory of every object he threw and that made the throws more impressive. In this series, he just casually tosses a handful of things and they CGI bounce off of everything randomly to no scope everyone nearby

Probably their biggest fumbl this saga. Almost all of the actors are now in their 30's, and according to leaks the most they'll have is a subplot in SW. No wonder they're going for a younger X-Men cast, they need somthing to fill that hole.

Bullseye probably isn't a straight up good guy but they're probably setting the stage for him to go international and join the Dark Avengers. The showrunner for Born Again said he really wanted to do a Daredevil story where Valentina plays a large role but it's up to Marvel to approve because they have their own plans with the Thunderbolts.
>>
>>153161038
I can see them going for it since Val was mentioned by name, and her organization is also seen in some spots. Idk what they'll do with the Thunderbolts post SW, but having Bullseye in there could be fun. You have this group of people who want to abandon their dark past and be redeemed, only for them to be paired up with a guy who genuinely anjoys being a psycho and relishes on the violence. It can be a natural source of conflict for the characters.

>The "homework" complaints really got to them since the idea of requires viewing ended up hurting the brand.
It is kind of funny really, the early phases built themselves on references and build up. That fear of missing out anxiety (FOMO) worked to galavanise people to sit through two movies a year because references. People wanted to see them team up. Heck it is the reason why Captain Marvel made so much just being in-between Infinity War and Endgame.

But for some reason none of them realised that all this bloat would turn the FOMO in on itself. SOME anxiety gets people worried about what they might miss and not be part of. Too much anxiety overwhelms people until the only way to continue is to not bother AT ALL. When the investment of time and effort is too great, we get the homework complaint. Phase 4 had a longer screentime than 1-3 put together. And fuck all happened. And honestly, you didn't even need to watch Wandavision to "get" Multiverse of Madness or whatever. But it still feels people with dread anxiety to miss out.

Really they should have had Captain America: Brave New World as the first Phase 4 movie (completely changed plot, obviously) to set up a new status quo for the MCU, done a mini arc of "changed world post-Thanos" then set up Masters of Evil or some down to Earth threat in a New Avengers film. Instead they began spinning a million plates at once. It doesn't help that Disney+ shows are all 2 hour movie scripts stretched into many episodes and that most people are apathetic to them even the better ones.

why does this show struggle to carry a thread both here and on /tv/ is the viewership that dead?
>>
>>153161611
MCU TV show threads haven't been that active since 2022, chalk it up to the fatigue. Allthough even Daredevil also struggled to carry long term threads that hit the bump limit during the Netflix days due to the binge drop format.
>>
>>153161375
The only film that matters in Phase 1 to understand Avengers is Captain America, the interconnectivity doesn't start until halfway through Phase 2. Wandavision is has two different problems at the same time. If you watched the show then MoM doesn't follow her motivations or her characterization and if you didn't then everything in MoM comes out of left field. If you don't watch the show you're missing context and if you watched the show the context is irrelevant.

Disney+ streaming pressure, COVID, lack of a plan, it was all too much and Phase 4 buckled under the weight of it. The MCU success was via Perlmutter and Feige. Perlmutter wanted to shit stuff out while it was hot without long term plans, he thought no one would notice War Machine was recast because all blacks look alike and that Black Widow having a movie was pointless because little girls don't buy action figures. Meanwhile Feige did believe in longer term planning but he also believed in diversity. The MCU worked when these two were fighting because it led to compromise, it led to course correction and learning from mistakes. But Feige won out because his influence made them the most money and Feige on his own led to this aimless mess.

Phase 4 was meant to be a palate cleanser and the beginning of the multiverse arc. Instead it is all over the place, as is Phase 5. Like I said, they needed:
>Captain America, set up new status quo, new threats.
>SMALL palate cleanser, building to down to earth New Avengers.
>Introduce people slowly, have MORE sequels to characters people like.
>MASSIVELY manage the MCU shows.
The problem is there is no investment anymore:
>Set ups never pay off (Jesus, just start naming forgotten set ups).
>Too many plotlines.
>Too many new characters.
>Misusing the main multiverse gimmick.
>Too many literally who characters (see that conspiracy).
>If you like one character, their sequel movie might come in YEARS.

I know people love to talk about angry fans. And yes, people have a right to be angry. But angry fans are a minority. The casual fan is simply apathetic as fuck. Two movies a year was a low buy-in of time/effort investment for enjoyment, with the added bonus of the community all jumping in and references/connections. Phase 1 - build up Avengers, Phase 2- introduce some different stuff, Phase 3 - big conclusion. Even if by some miracle someone liked Shang Chi or whatever, his film was 5 years ago. Half a decade.
>>
>>153161751
I think ironically the multiverse angle could have allowed for "gateway movies" that didn't have the baggage of needing to watch 30+ movies just to understand the plot, like having the Fantastic Four and X-Men take place in their own universes and maintain standalone stories until the crossover event.

The TV shows were also fucked because they kept greenlighting all these series about the most minor film characters when most of them could have easily just been one hour long special presentations.

>The only film that matters in Phase 1 to understand Avengers is Captain America, the interconnectivity doesn't start until halfway through Phase 2.
The point I am making though is the promise. If someone promises you a gimmick of a build up, psychologically it creates an investment feeling, like you're getting in at the ground floor. And while not all Phase 1 did amazing (really it is a case of RDJ, and then the rest, until Avengers took it off anyway), they did all roll into one another. Iron Man has Nick Fury appear. Hulk has Tony Stark. Iron Man 2 has Thor's hammer. Thor has Nick Fury then Loki appear with Selvig. Cap ended in the modern world. They roll. Love and Thunder has.. Hercules? That was 2022. Where is Hercules? 4 years now, where is he? Wong found Shang Chi, where has that gone?

It doesn't help that they forgot the fucking formula: strong characterisation first and foremost (see RDJ) + forgettable villain (exceptions noted) + easter eggs + humour + heart = success. Quick comparison:
>Iron Man: Stane steals Tony's heart. Tony crawls down to his workshop as he remembers Pepper left the spare one there. Tense scene, Tony looks rough. It all looks lost under the robot arm he has been insulting all film hands it to him. Cute moment, light bit of humour but still, the stakes MATTER.
>Thor: Love and Thunder: The children of New Asgard have been taken by an unknown force. Thor decides to give a big speech to the people. He randomly makes mention of dark times involving cannibalism. That is right, cannibalism joke just as kids have been kidnapped. Thanks Taika

>>153161849
>I think ironically the multiverse angle could have
All I am saying is: palate cleanser mini arc, THEN multiverse. Instead we go, Feige's palate cleanser of throwing shit at the wall, some multiverse, no connections or themes between any of it. Stuff used to at least roll and sort of connect but most of those films don't do that.

We don't need Feige's diversity hires, for a start. There is a theory that Feige sabotaged the comics in a way, allgedly it goes like this:
>Discussion about how recasting should be done in the MCU, ala James Bond (new actors).
>RDJ's popularity killed that dead.
>Scrambles around, okay, we need different heroes, replacements for the MCU.
>Bendis was on the MCU creative committee, creators offering advice, he saw which way the wind was blowing on this and definitely got in at the ground floor.
>But then it became editorial line.
>All of a sudden in the 2010s, diverse characters from prior to this period (e.g. Young Avengers etc) become prominently used.
>New diversity replacement heroes get made for mainstay heroes (FemThor, Sam Wilson Cap, Amadeus Cho Hulk, Riri Ironheart).
>Whilst other new diverse heroes are made (Ms Marvel Kamala, who got one of the LARGEST pushes for a character in the modern era, the amount of money they spent was silly).
>So some people believe the 2010 diversity push was all for the MCU. (This is not the first time other media concerns influenced comics, see She Hulk or Batgirl).
We see this in the MCU with all these characters getting dumped in these newer phases and how the Young Avengers were originally going to be more prominent (Hailee Steinfeld/Hawkeye, is now older that Scarjo was when she was in Avengers).

Two movies a year, connections, future promises of team ups, set ups paying off. Like how has any of these connected to these future Avengers films? (Yeah I know the Kang thing was a shitshow, but even if they had used him, he barely connected to anyone.) If I was going to use Kang, maybe have background fallout of stuff he is doing in other films like the infinity stones were. It needs to be leaner and more planned.

As for the shows, tighter scripts, get rid of half these producers. They really need a point, the Netflix shows had a build up, even though it was god awful for infighting reasons.

I think she'll be alive but out of action, leaving Kingpin completely untethered to her woman logic and doing way wilder shit. I bet she comes to near the end and betrays him to stop him.

>>153154175
COMA ARC. Probably. They literally set up in the governor meeting that Fisk will go nutso again without her.
>>
>>153162094
If we're going by cast interviews, I think Vanessa is toast but she won't die until the next episode. This is supposed to be the first turning point for the story and Kingpin until the finale, and we know Fisk is in S3 but he's very fucked up by the events of the previous season so he isn't the main villain anymore.
>>
>>153162125
I haven't been following any of the outside information/paratext, that's interesting. So far I like the disney daredevil stuff but it's just not as good as the original netflix run, I don't think it ever will be.
>>
>>153161919
That's more of an issue with Taika in general. Even Whedon knew when to let a scene play straight.
>>
>>153162136
It's held back by being another rehash of "Kingpin takes over everything" when Netflix S3 already did it masterfully, it all feels routine at this point and eight 40 minute episodes isn't a good fit for a storyline as epic as Devil's Reign.
Ep 4 is supposed to be when the season locks in and starts being really good though so I'm sure the leadup to the finale will be hype.

>>153162059
Feige is the one who killed the Creative Committee because they kept causing legal issues. The more likely truth is that they wanted to adapt more recent material because more recent contracts pay worse residuals.

>just been one hour long special presentations.
You know how Alan Moore bangs on about superhero culture infantilism, infecting adults etc? Sometimes I see other parallels, where media reflects comics. The 2000s was really when TPBs became a super important secondary market so story decompression became huge. (Don't get me wrong, plenty of comics had long running arcs, characters stories before this, but it was different.) Writing for the trades is what they called it. It changed how individual issues were constructed.

Television moved from one and done to serialised storytelling with stuff in between (like monster of the week + season arcs). But streaming is like writing for the trade levels of decompression. That is why none of it feels satisfying. 2 hour screen play stretched into many episodes. I've been rambling for multiple posts but I mean: I don't think they have anyone who could do a series of good one hour long presentations. They're gonna try something with Punisher. But streaming editing is all over the place.

He killed it for several reasons. Bendis actually got kicked off the committee for stealing ideas from the movies for comics (allegedly).

>The more likely truth is that they wanted to adapt more recent material because more recent contracts pay worse residuals.
Factually incorrect. Jim Starlin, who created THANOS got paid LESS by Marvel than he did for the DC character's he made like KGBeast who was a minor henchman in Batman vs Superman, see:
https://www.cbr.com/starlin-has-made-more-money-off-dcs-kgbeast-than-marvels-thanos/
>Veteran comics creator Jim Starlin announced on his Facebook page Tuesday morning that he has received "a very big check" from DC Entertainment for the use of his KGBeast character in last year's "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice." Starlin's post claims that the amount stemming from this single movie exceeds what he has received from Marvel Studios for usage of characters he created across multiple films. KGBeast appears only in his civilian identity (Anatoli Knyazev) in the film.

Ed Brubaker, who made the Winter Soldier and whose work inspired a bit of the MCU Cap, made more money off of a cameo he had in a Cap film than he does for residuals.
https://www.comicsbeat.com/ed-brubaker-winter-soldier-residuals/
>“I have made more on SAG residuals than I have made on creating the character for my one line that got cut.”

The modern residuals from the 2010 characters are higher. Do you know why? Who is a co-creator of Ms Marvel (Kamala)? Sana Amanat.
>Sana Amanat is an American comic book editor and an executive of production and development at Marvel Studios
She is also Executive Producer on Daredevil: Born Again. Gee I wonder, did a Producer help create a character who is diverse under a good media deal via an editorial line because she would get a credit and a fatter residual? Do you think people aren't corrupt?
>>
>>153162207
I cut out part of my response but to continue from: >>153162383
The point I was making about Bendis and the creative committee is, that Bendis was on the ground floor in hearing rumour about which way they were going on adaptations, which is part of the reason why he pushed towards some of the diversity stuff he did. Bendis also had some much better residual deals too. So yeah, the creative committee was shut down, but I am saying that Bendis apparently used it for his own benefit.

You've completely misunderstood and twisted my post beyond recognition.
>Setting aside the fact that you actually agreed with me
I expliclty DISAGREED with you. Jim Starlin is NOT recent. And Ed Brubaker happened BEFORE the period we are talking about, in the 2000s. You claim that they adapt modern stories because it equals less money. I am saying that old stories = less money, but certain recent deals for some of these newer characters were done differently. To be absolutely clear, banging my head against the wall:
>They didn't pay writers shit BEFORE this period, see Jim or Ed.
>But during this period people got better deals for these diverse characters.
>Bendis DID have better contracts.
>Sana apparently did too.
You claimed that modern stories get paid worse:
>more RECENT contracts pay worse residuals.
I am saying RECENT contracts over certain characters were BETTER.

>you're free to offer up any evidence that Amanat has some kind of sweetheart deal with Disney
Bendis DEFINITELY got better deals and you can hear that in interviews of his. I've been pretty clear in earlier posts that this is a theory. Of course some of it is alleged and conjecture but it is based on patterns of behaviour, such as Bendis, or things in regards to Sana's comments on diversity. In regards to Sana specifically though you can see her fingerprints on stuff, on what she has pushed for. Heck, she pushed for Daredevil to be more swashbuckling Waid-inspired (then backtracked). Why does Kamala's father appear in an episode of Daredevil? Weird cameo.

I said that this is a theory connecting 2010s comics character direction with the MCU. Why were they so for diversity? You can build webs of it.
>2016, sales slumped.
>2017 we had Hail Hydra Cap, Secret Empire.
>Secret Empire was so controversial that even Disney itself had to step in to mention it.
>At a NYCC panel, comic retail owners literally shouted at Marvel representatives: "Nick Lowe tried to get calm by saying that Marvel try and they tell stories for everyone, that the old heroes are not going anywhere, neither are the new ones, there is room for them both."
>David Gabriel, VP of Publishing said diversity doesn't sell comments to ICv2.
>Whilst at the same time the EiC was talking up at how brilliant diversity was.
>Not one day later David Gabriel pretty much backtracked all his comments.

Why let your sales slump? Why backtrack comments so abruptly? What was this all for? I mean you can just say, politics, or whatever. Yes, politics is a factor. But then you look at Bendis, who is an obvious example, or you look at Sana's creative fingerprints as a producer, and you can clear see there is more to it. It makes it feel like the diversity push was a mandate because it took on specific dimensions.

Why did the MCU suddenly decide it needed to add all these 2010s pushed characters into the mix? Because of replacements, casting issues etc. It is a bit convenient that all these ready made replacements were created or heavily pushed right before they needed them. Also, Ms Marvel had one of the LARGEST pushes ever. She was heavily pushed in the YA book market with insane retailer incentives. She then heavily featured in many places, Square Enix game etc. It feels like more than her just being a producers baby. (And the fact she has 5 co-creators lends to my point about how this was driven by mandate.)

Whilst this example is DC it shows you that producers have never been above doing shit in comics for TV or other media pressure:
>the producer of the 1960s Batman television series, requested Schwartz to call for a new female counterpart to the superhero Batman that could be introduced into publication and the third season of the show simultaneously
Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) was only made because the TV show wanted a new female character.
>The character subsequently made her first comic-book appearance as Batgirl in Detective Comics #359, titled "The Million Dollar Debut of Batgirl!" in January 1967, by Fox and Infantino,[1] allowing her to be introduced into the television series, portrayed by actress Yvonne Craig, in the season 3 premiere "Enter Batgirl, Exit Penguin", in September that same year.

Based. Iron Fist is a cool character, and Disney fucked up Eternals and Secret Invasion to an insane degree.

>AVTF as completely redemtionless soulless bots
I did like that the priest in training wasn't judgmental at all towards Matt in his AVTF disguise, he just held back on giving him info until Matt very honestly told him that Bullseye was a serial killer, and that he was going to take him alive.

you dont even know what i would =do to them if i were in a locked room together with them and neither could escape

Yeah but its physically impossible to draw perfect circles with diner ketchup

>and they CGI bounce off of everything randomly to no scope everyone nearby
That is the main issue with it, I would be fine if they made realistic trajectories to sell it

Horizontal versus vertical is very different

Yeah, that is pretty much what I am expecting too. She will probably show up in the finale to calm him down
>>
>>153162368
>she'll have memory and visual impairment
That actually would be interesting regardless how much of a soap opera plot it comes off as
>>
>>153162708
Why would Matt even want to be Kingpin, seems ridiculous
>>
>>153166813
If Fisk's whole thing is breaking out of jail and retaking his place as Kingpin, better to just fill in the spot for him to ensure he never gets to do it.

You don't seem to understand what they would do to YOU.

I used to be an autist about MCU movies, but with all the new phases and shows and special presentations, even I'm forgetting what's been coming out and whether or not it's canon. It's not a good sign.
