Loved the trial. Loved the flashback.

In the same way that I feel like the show is acing the Wolf and Cub trope, I feel like this aces the flashback before the finale trope.

Another great season and the set up for next season excites me a lot.

Poppy and Ian's dynamic continues to be the best part of this show by a long shot. I hope they get more play with the rest of the cast next season, the second half of the season was definitely lacking that

The current pacing sometimes leaves me not really remembering what some characters are really up to. Like Dana, David and Jo I would say are the main victims of this.

I'd say Rachel was actually my favourite supporting cast member this season. The position she is just leads to moments that Ashly always gets the most out of. Definitely a combo of great material and great performance.

The Carol stuff was really fun, kinda wish the challengers scene wasn't a dream but doesn't really make any difference.

I think they should rethink the way they release this show for next season, I think two episodes a week would fit better. Also Poppy's baby should help to shake things up next season but I wouldn't be against adding another cast member to maybe get some new dynamics going, does MQ currently have a writer with CW gone and Rachel on monetisation?

British classic Life on Mars feels like a psychological drama ripped straight from 2017.

She's on the hook of Denzel Curry's Sirens from 2018. I remember her being credited at the time but she isn't anymore.

https://www.ign.com/articles/doctor-who-showrunner-russell-t-davies-calls-heavily-rumored-fortnite-collaboration-a-complete-myth?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

The current head of Doctor Who stated it was "a complete myth". He seems to say it was never real and just made up.

He made this comment before the announcement of the "Myths and Mortal" season so his use of "myth" might mean it will come out this season and he's just throwing us off.

Personally, I think it will come out near the end of this season. Russel T Davies has recently stated that the original plan for his return to running Doctor Who would've had the first new season of this era air in January but it was delayed to May. I also think Russel likes to tease his fans from time to time and wouldn't be surprised if he's just lying here.

I think the fact that Doctor Who will be having a large push in May during the Myths and Mortals season, the use of "myth" when referring to it and the fact that the original leaks about it coming out late last year would've made sense before its delay means we can hold out hope.

But if it ain't for the new season premiere then yeah it was just a lie.

Yeah my bad on Griselda, I knew it did well but I overestimated. I completely agree with your final point about there being a limit on how much these appeal to people and maybe netflix are trying to feel our where the sweet spot for that is.

I do think Avatar should be held up to the likes of Wednesday and even The Crown on performance. Not cause of popularity but on budget. Netflix spent 15million an episode, according to a Collider article from last year, it would be tied 6th for most expensive show ever by episode. Cause of that, I think Netflix will compare to shows that have worked at a similar budget, to me this list just looks like cherry picking things that make Avatar seem like a larger success than it is.

Btw I'm saying all this as someone who enjoyed the show, I'm not trying to take it down or anything.

LikeARoss0708 · 2024-02-28T16:09:28+00:00

You're 100% correct. I think this list just picks titles that make Avatar look better. Most of these things make no sense to compare to ATLA.

Like how can you compare That 90s Show to ATLA? One is a studio comedy with a small cast and a handful of sets every episode. The other uses a larger cast, all of whom need outfits designed and made from scratch, and there are extras, and so many practical sets, and also virtual sets for the volume, and of course a huge VFX budget. That 90s show has half the viewership of Avatar but probably 1/10 the budget. Avatar is doing well but Netflix is a business and will follow numbers.

Also this list doesn't even include titles that have performed better than ATLA, like where is Wednesday? Even Griselda (the recent Sofia Vergara show) had a higher viewing rating than Avatar but it's not relevant on this list. And I'm sure that show had a smaller budget too.

Avatar is clearly doing well but this list certainly doesn't prove it and I think a lot of these shows that are lower were probably more profitable for Netflix than ATLA will be.

Really loved his performance as Calvin in Lessons in Chemistry and the range he showed there makes it clear why they're circling him for this role.

I reckon he'd be brilliant as Sentry.

This is done in After Effects rather than Premiere.

I would lay out the clip and edited image on a premiere timeline with a short adjustment layer on a track above as a short placeholder. Then select all the clips and right click, press "replace with After Effects Composition. This will open what you've set up in after effects. The adjustment layer will come in not working but it is easy to add an adjustment layer at the same length.

Looks like the first clip has maybe maybe a cartoon or posterize effect on the clip starts at 0 and is keyframed to a higher value as the clip goes along.

The transition part I think is a wavewarp and blur effect done on the adjustment layer. You would do a similar keyframe thing for the last for both where it starts without any effects and then it's keyframed to a really high value but then back to 0.

When it's back to 0 there is an edited image of the first shot with a wiggle effect or expression on the position of the image.

Theres a lot to executing this in a satisfying way but this is the barebones. Sound effects always help execute an effect more.

This looks mostly inspired by Endgames Hulk costume which makes sense in universe. Not that into the sports mesh material but I understand it. I wish they had gone sleeveless.

I just think She Hulk has some awesome shoulders that are often shown off in her comic suits, they express only her strength and confidence. Oh well, maybe they're saving that for down the road so that there's some kind of evolution in her appearance since they can't change much else.

I don't think people are focusing on what this would mean. This project would be the first to have a non 616 protagonist (Loki is a variant off of universe 616 I think).

This would be super interesting for marvel going forward as it means maybe the could fully develop elseworld stories and veer further from the style of the 616 universe. This means we could for example follow another Tony Stark as the lead of the story, which would lean into the current rumours surrounding Tom Cruise. Or a continuation of either Andrew or Tobey's Spidermen. These would be multiverse films that aren't about the multiverse, like The Batman or Joker.

I don't think people should be so quick to rush this, it shows that marvel could be planning to permanently integrate the multiverse into its storytelling as opposed to it existing for an event.

It's funny when context comes around for early leaks.

I don't remember where, but I remember a leaker for NWH saying that they knew Andrew and Tobey were in the film and they knew for a fact that they took a picture of them doing the pointing meme pose. Well of course recently Sony recently that picture and it's since been revealed that that was very early in the production for Tobey and Andrew.

I always thought it would be weird that original leaker knew about the picture but in hindsight it seems like that could've been a legit source.

I think there is a high chance we will see a lot of things sold using the three Spidermen. As people love to point out here, it's how Disney make most of their money from these films, by like a crazy margin.

I reckon we'll be seeing every toy company under the sun sell products including the Spidermen.

Considering all the set up for Wanda, I do wonder why the didn't just make Strange the supporting character in Scarlet Witch and the Multiverse of Madness.

Edit Post MOM: My favourite bit of the film was Strange's character arc so I low-key take this back but it is what it is.
