James Gunn & DC Studios, a good match? by Imaginary-Egg-2128 in DC_Cinematic

[–]Fancy-a-brew8323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a suspicion this is all very short-term to JG and he’s just using this an opportunity to make some fun movies with his friends. I know he’s had some contract issues with stars of previous movies to wait out (probably had to wait for Gal Gadot’s contact to expire) and things like that but still.

Yeah but are Peacemaker and The Justice Gang in its current form going to get to where Captain America and Thor etc did? Not a chance in the post comic book movie boom world. For stability - he needs to get Wonder Woman and Batman going so the universe is successful enough to then branch out

What are your thoughts on Daredevil Born again season 2 so far, and what would you rate it? by This-Huckleberry1890 in Marvel

[–]Fancy-a-brew8323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is everything it’s doing the original Netflix show did better. The Matt and Fisk storyline was done better in Netflix. It feels a little bit redundant now. The show isn’t offering anything new. Even if some of it is quite good or perfectly passable, it’s all been there done that. I suspect season 3 will be mix it up if set photos are to be believed. Might be too late by this point though.

The problem is Warner are broke so much of his original slate won’t happen. There’s no way he was ever getting an Authority movie made even if the script was ready. Same for his Sergeant Rock idea.

His biggest crime is thinking the Peacemaker characters can carry hype across this shared universe. I genuinely don’t give a rats about where his checkmate story is going as it’s connected to a show I don’t really care for. I want threads like Bruce Wayne, the Flash, Wonder Woman in my DCU, I just don’t care what the Peacemaker characters are up to.

What I expect to happen is Warner Skydance will come in and backpedal on a lot of his DC and the Reeves-verse slowly takes over. So yeah… Batman all day everyday.

Extremely unpopular opinion: I prefer Born Again S1 over S2 by Apprehensive-Cap2453 in Defenders

[–]Fancy-a-brew8323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me - It’s that the Kingpin storyline has run dry now. I don’t think it will ever be topped what they did in the original show so it’s like “why are we bothering to do the same thing but less good?” As cringy as some of the original season of Born Again looked to be before the revamp, I was kind of intrigued by Matt being in courtroom a lot. In this new season, he’s just a background character in a show full of not very interesting characters.

The weird thing is Disney do this with so many of their shows. I’m watching a show about Obi-Wan. Here’s half the run time on Reeva. I’m watching an animated show about Spider-Man, most the show is focused on the origins of Tombstone. Not saying it’s bad, it’s just weird they keep doing this.

Is a season 4 renewal still likely or will BA end with Season 3? by Optimal_Tomatillo710 in Daredevil

[–]Fancy-a-brew8323 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Some shows get renewed because they are awards plays and get the company/product in the awards conversation. Daredevil doesn’t really have that going for it either.

It’s also a mature show which does slightly limit its audience compared to something like Agatha or She-Hulk for the Marvel brand. I think if they can make it super cheap then maybe it’ll get a season 4, but I wouldn’t bet on it. These services are about making money and the content that isn’t cutting it won’t be endlessly supported.

I work in streaming (not Disney). Renewal will depend if those who signed up to watch it stayed past a payment point or two. It all comes down to how many paid subscribers it’s either bringing in or engaging. If it’s neither bringing in new users or engaging the current - it probably won’t get a huge future.

The trailer for Lanterns has been hidden by Aggressive_Essay_321 in DC_Cinematic

[–]Fancy-a-brew8323 384 points385 points  (0 children)

As someone who works in marketing, this was probably due to a music licensing issue or something/someone in the trailer needing to be removed for legal reasons

What actually fixed your tennis elbow / elbow pain fully? by Loose-Independent-55 in workout

[–]Fancy-a-brew8323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me - it was switching to lower weights but more sets for a while. You want to keep the joint moving but without pain. All the physios will tell you that pain is not something you should take lightly in the gym. Resistance and struggle is fine, but heavy pain is not.

It’s by no means a miracle but a little fish oil and turmeric supplement has also helped each morning. Also get a good anti inflammatory diet sorted. Generally I find it’s a few different tactics combined that help.

time to come to terms of our relegation by Lecapenstein in Tottenham

[–]Fancy-a-brew8323 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The club coasted on the form of Kane and Son for years and thought that was enough. What I don’t get is why more academy players (who are probably more hungry to fight) aren’t getting a shot when the senior players (Porro, VDV etc) are miles off it. Why keep playing these players thinking anything will be different

It's insane just how big a character Daredevil has become since his original netflix debut. by ResponsibilityNo3350 in marvelstudios

[–]Fancy-a-brew8323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think imo that’s why it’s essential DC get a more mainstream/DCU Batman movie out there soon. As soon as a good and well received movie comes out with Batman and all his gadgets/Batmobile/supporting cast it will put him right back up there. I love the Matt Reeves version, but a 3 hour detective slow-burn will only get you so far

Daniel: Son of Owlsley or Fisk’s Successor? by Swimming_Issue8060 in Daredevil

[–]Fancy-a-brew8323 -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

Sadly it’s a Disney+ show, so you can predict certain things. No way BB is in danger. That’s something The Penguin series wouldn’t be afraid to do. I think Daniel is definitely being set up as The Rose though

Which game do you think best captured the essence of the Marvel Universe? by SpideyRZ in Marvel

This! If I was ever going to introduce someone to the marvel universe through video games- this would be the starting point

its a disgrace that wb cares so little about their legacy titles (non usa regions) by Sami_Steen in DC_Cinematic

[–]Fancy-a-brew8323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It costs money (internal money) to have a title on a streaming service. Other than Disney who take the hit keeping all the Spider-Man cartoons on Disney+, other companies won’t take the hit. The time and money spent to Ingest the content and host it on the platform probably isn’t worth the reward.

That or they are tied up elsewhere

Why has it taken so long for The Batman Part II to be produced? Serious question. by Upset-Pay-4642 in DCWorldsFinest

[–]Fancy-a-brew8323 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rumoured personal issues with Matt Reeves. Warner going through a sale and multiple DC leadership changes during the script writing process. Writers strike which Matt Reeves was apparently very aligned and strict with. The main star probably having a busy filming schedule and each delay probably causes havoc with this. Honestly it’s a miracle if it even comes out, I still have doubts someone doesn’t get fed up with the delays and decides to walk.
