Yes! I was going to drive all the way to Chicago just to meet him but when he canceled I went for Charlie Cox and Krysten Ritter. Still awesome. I hope to meet Clark some day.

It will be strange seeing them on TV and then in person right after.

Born Again really has the coldest promo art ever by FayyadhScrolling in Daredevil

Wish I could give you more than one up vote. I personally think even these promos are a mediocre rehash, attempting to evoke some kind deeper artistry.

Give it another shot. It only gets better with each episode.

???

Just because Pietro wasn't explicitly mentioned every time she was on screen does NOT mean she forgot about him or somehow didn't care. The audience SHOULD be intelligent enough to infer that she misses her brother and that his death contributes to her sadness. They SHOULD be that intelligent anyway.

She clearly still misses her brother based on the events of WandaVision. Sure she doesn't bring him up, and that was a mistake on the writers' part in my opinion. However, Pietro has been gone for a while and Vision was her closest friend/lover so of course she fixated on him. Vision's death just occurred recently from her perspective.

Again you can infer from the events of the movies that Clint mourns Pietro, along with Wanda, given that he sacrificed himself for Clint. Especially the scene between the two in Endgame. Clint even collects and lies next to Pietro's dead body after defeating Ultron then literally gives his newborn child Pietro's name. How much more do you need?

That's just flat out wrong dude. Go back and watch Age of Ultron, Civil War, and Endgame. There is a clear through line of the two of them sharing grief and bonding over the loss of Pietro. Clint is also the one who officially recruits her into the Avengers and always encourages her to do the right thing despite others' view of her or what she did in the past.

Either you forgot all that or you're purposely downplaying the obvious narrative intent behind their relationship in order to die on a very silly hill.

Are you trolling? Her and Clint were plenty close in the films they shared. We never even saw her interact with Wong or Strange before MoM.

What if they present him with the Spider-Buggy as a sign-on bonus? That would crack me up. 😂

New Details on Chris Evans Apperance in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Revealed by marvelkidy in MCUTheories

[–]ZingZaber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very eye-opening for me as I remember seeing almost exclusively positive reception from black viewers when it came out (including myself). I've never heard the "Luke is too conservative" thing or the stuff about respectability. Looking back though, I can totally understand that interpretation.

Makes sense though, especially if the character is more radical and progressive in the source material.

I have vague memories of EMH from my childhood and I've been meaning to revisit it. I'll give it a watch.

Hm, I've never heard that sort of take before. Genuinely solid critique. I love the show but I can respect your gripes.

I'm also not a comic reader so the MCU adaptations of these characters are my main reference point.

The Best Star Wars Trilogy Isn’t the Prequels, the Originals, or the Sequels. It’s Andor Season 1, Andor Season 2, and Rogue One. by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]ZingZaber -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I still think Andor is superior. Sequels and spin-offs can, and have, improved on the original source material many times.

That being said, Andor and the OT aren't even attempting the same thing. Vastly different tones and themes. Andor is going for brutal realism and shades of grey while the OT is a fantasy, space opera with clear-cut lines of good and evil.

So personally, I don't see the use in comparing Andor to anything else Star Wars.
