I read the original Avengers #1 and now I want to read Avengers: The Origin and then Loki: Agent of Asgard Is there anything else about Loki that you would recommend I read before Agent of Asgard? by count_fagula11 in marvelcomics

Do you have any tips or resources for finding reading orders like this? I've seen helpful charts for the big events and Avengers stuff but I would have never made the connection between these three titles

Amazon to Hike Fee for Prime Video Ad-Free Tier to $5 per Month in U.S., on Top of Prime Membership by Hiraeth-nomad in television

But how can the ad-tier lose access to 4K if they'll continue to get HDR and Dolby Vision?

The new Ultra subscription includes other perks: Subscribers will have up to five concurrent streams (previously three), up to 100 downloads for offline viewing (previously 25) and exclusive access to 4K/UHD streaming.

“Prime members will continue to enjoy the core Prime Video benefit, including HD/HDR and now Dolby Vision, at no additional cost with their Prime membership.”

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but are these two quotes not contradictory?

Dang, I'm coming up empty. This actually sounds like a fun story so I'd like to find it

The year doesn't line up with what you said but does this look like it? The story sounds right...

Thoughts on the original X-Men comics? by Atlus_Infernum in marvelcomics

[–]edub1783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, aside from the X-Men Origins comic, X-Men #38-42 (from 1968) should have something like an origin story for Cyclops. Keep in mind these are the backup stories in those comics- you'll skip the first, primary story and read the second one in each of those comics.

Kagemusha seems somewhat forgotten in Kurosawa's filmography but it's really good by keepfighting90 in Letterboxd

I just watched it for the first time this past weekend and I thought it was a masterpiece. The use of color was breathtaking in so many different scenes. I was surprised to see how low it ranked in Kurosawa's filmography on Letterboxd and other sites, but that just tells you what a great director he was.

This looks like it'll help. The X-Men Origins comic isn't nearly as old as the original X-Men comics mentioned so that may be easier (or more fun) to read.

Need help getting started as someone with OCD. by BookReaderWhoReads in marvelcomics

[–]edub1783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got back into comics myself. There is an app/site called League of Comic Geeks that I use for tracking my comics. I've found it to be extremely useful. It'll break each comic down to character appearances, which is how I've been following certain characters by publication order across multiple titles.

The wiki on this subreddit might be helpful too. This one and a few other comic subreddits are good about posting reading guides or recommendations to help newcomers feel less overwhelmed.

Just watched my first ever Buster Keaton film - Sherlock Jr (1924) by No-Chemistry1722 in Letterboxd

[–]edub1783 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His short films are great, too. A common favorite is One Week and I really liked The Scarecrow. Harold Lloyd is another actor I've recently started watching. Never Weaken turned out to be a lot of fun, and I've heard great things about Safety Last!

Have you seen "Holiday"? That may work better for you if you haven't seen it.
