Old Man Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 The one sort-of detail I'm hearing from the reviews is that the villain is really good. Something that most MCU films have lacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casablanca and Citizen Kane are two of the most widely revered movies in film history; but Pattern Ghost doesn't like them and doesn't agree with that assessment. As he has the right to. What he would not have the right to, is to say that everyone who doesn't share his view is objectively wrong for doing so, and to denigrate their taste and intelligence because of that. Likewise, I'm perfectly fine with all of those people being wrong. Jagged 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, one can hope. I follow writers and occasionally artist, but not editors. Still, given her relatively short career in comic Sana Amanat has worked on a lot of very good books. I have no idea whether this has been luck or good decisions on her part, but either way she has a good track record. drunkonduty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ternaugh Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 6 minutes ago, BoloOfEarth said: How about the 1982 movie Mazes and Monsters? It was a typical made for TV movie of the time, adapted from a "hit" novel. The movie had the good fortune of starring a young Tom Hanks and being released during the rise of D&D and the related BADD hype. While much is made of "the game", what the movie really appears to show (without actually saying it) is a young adult's descent into schizophrenia, and the reactions of his friends as it develops. The movie's available for streaming free on Amazon Prime right now, for those who are curious. It's based on the novel, Rona Jaffe's Mazes and Monsters, which very much reads as if it's a first draft. Jaffe was known more for her writing in Cosmopolitan, and a bunch of novels that normally receive generic covers in the Fiction section of a bookstore before being cleared out in the deep-discount racks. I've got the hardcover novel around here somewhere, and I believe that I found it at a thrift store for about a buck several years ago.

Scott Ruggels Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 What about "The Archer: Fugitive of the Empire"(1981). I think that was the first time I saw a D&D like fantasy on TV that was not the Rankin Bass Lord of The Rings adaptation. "They won't hurt bow. Boat. Boat does not scream.

Yeah, I just did the same and it is a list of some of my favorite titles over the last few years... Ms. Marvel, Daredevil, All-New Hawkeye, Carol Corps (the best Carol Danvers portrayal of the recent runs), etc. Pattern Ghost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
