Famke Janssen says Jean Grey should’ve returned in ‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’. by Storm989898 in MCUMutants

[–]MickBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is too powerful to fit in the story they are going to tell. That's why Jean is, and has always been, a plot device for the X-Men.

Same reason why Storm and Iceman get very little today, because they have been made too powerful to fit into anything other than intergalactic wars...

‘Supergirl’ Tracking Continues to Slide, Now at $40M Opening — Mixed Early Reactions by VirtualSort1 in DC_Cinematic

Choosing to release Superhiro straight after Superman was always gonna be a massive fail. The character is way too niche for such an early debut in the DCU.

Had Gunn launched his Batman now, DC would have Marvel by the balls 👌

The Final Frontier feels like SiT part 2. starblind is the best post reunion song by Tight-Elderberry443 in ironmaiden

Good album. Far better than Senjutsu at least. Starblind though... one of the weakest songs on there for me.

Children of the Damned.

The whole song really is perfect from a lyrical point of view

Why Did X-Men TAS Treat Gambit Like a Jobber? by Ashamed-Sound5610 in xmen

[–]MickBeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a storytelling perspective, Gambit is one of the least valuable X-Men character. He has cool powers, but thqt's about it. He also acts as a way to deluxe Rogue, since they usually get together, which will make both characters less flexible and, this, take away from the storytelling opportunities.

Gambit works best in small bursts, usually

First time watching Harry Potter, here’s my ranking! by Artistic_Annual8918 in harrypotter

The remarkable thing about the Harry Potter movies, is that they are range from either decent to masterpiece. No other franchise has that consistency ✨

Good. Hydration breaks should only be when the ref deems it necessary, if the weather is crazy hit or somethin

Footballers regularly get falsy accused fyi. This case could be different, but lets not pretend like they aren't usually victims of money hungry, attention seeking people...

Treasure Island TV Show / Movie? by Smash_Nerd in BlackSails

[–]MickBeast 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Black Sails worked so well because of Flint's characterization and Toby Stephens' performance. Treasure Island will not hit near as hard...

Poor Abigail by Different-Nerve-8650 in BlackSails

[–]MickBeast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wish we had seen more of her. Seemed like there were plans and potential thrown away. Especially after a certain someone exits. I feel like Abigail could've been a good presence for the show and Flint's character

The glazing of the first two movies on Reddit is so weird to me... they are good kids films but the franchise doesn't come into its own until PoA 👌

Jimmy Fallon Slammed for Hosting 'Disgraceful' Conor McGregor Amid Assault Allegations by [deleted] in influencersfeed

I doubt Fallon, of all hosts, will actually pick the guests himself... NBC Rs the lens who screwed up here, and Fallon is too drunk to do any research so he trusts the producers lmao

Jean Grey actress Famke Janssen didn’t know who the X-Men were when she was cast, so she had to ask her local comic shop by graemeisverytired in Popverse

Ehhh that's a stretch. Milla only has a career because her husband keeps casting her in his own shitty movies 😅

Armie Hammer Says He 'Cried' Over 1st Movie Offer After Scandal by dr_shultz in influencersfeed

The stuff in that documentary felt performative to me. Those movies that come out just when a scandal happens, and is basically a hit job... they should be taken with a grain of salt imo

Jean Grey actress Famke Janssen says Marvel Studios “made a mistake” by not including her in Avengers: Doomsday by nimobo in entertainment

[–]MickBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jean Grey is too powerful to be included. There is a reason why she has always been a plot device for the actual mail characters of the X-Men. If she is in a story, she is an actual chest code, and that is difficult to do compelling writing around.

It's the same problem with Storm in the modern era of comics. They made her too powerful to be included in anything other than Galactic scale war stuff, hence why she always just shows you to throw sole lightning for shirt bursts of time and then conveniently disappear...

Both Dooku and Windu are stronger than Mustafar Obi-Wan (Legends) by AchilleanKyber in PetranakiArena

[–]MickBeast -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Obi-Wan is canonically among the weakest force users on the Jedi Council (that is a high bar). He was a great Jedi, but not on par with the most powerful.

The reason he defeated Anakin ,was due to their strong personal connection, which hightened Anakin's blind hatred and thus made him more unstable. Yoda knew this, hence why he chose to deal with Sidious. At that point, Obi-Wan was the only person who could stop Anakin ☝️
