And sucked at it. 22 hours ago, Lord Liaden said: I'm pretty sure he did. But Greywind was making a joke with the name of the character from TOS Star Trek episode, "The Conscience of the King," who was known as Kodos the Executioner; and linking him to the Marvel character also called the Executioner. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conscience_of_the_King Whoops, my bad.

archer Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 @Bazza The key to watching Star Trek is that you have to accept that you are more competent off the top of your head with anything about tactics or strategy than people who are supposed to be the best-of-the-best, highly-trained Starfleet personnel. It's sort of like watching a superhero movie and accepting that the hero's mask actually conceals his identity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Sometimes the 'go-to' old school sci-fi series isn't Star Trek TOS or Doctor Who. Occasionally, I'm in the mood for the simplicity of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, where problems were solved with boyish charm, karate kicks and a robot with the voice of Bugs Bunny.

Instead of the all Shulkie all the time of the Comics ‘verse. The MCU’s She-Hulk, like the Mark Ruffalo portrayal may shift back and forth. If so having a talented actress in the role will be more important than finding a female wrestler with enough bulk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Hey, for all we know they were gonna cast Gwendoline Christie and paint her green....as long as it's written well, I'll probably watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the longest time, Jen was capable of switching. In a lot of ways she was more capable than Banner at it. It wasn't until later she lost the ability to revert to non-She-Hulk. Not sure that even stayed in the character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 I was hoping for someone like Adrianne Palicki who is 5' 11". In roles where she's supposed to be intimidating, like Mockingbird in Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, she gave the impression that she's even taller by often dwarfing the men around her in many scenes.

slikmar Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Tatiana will make a great Jen and I believe like others they were always going to CGI Shulkie, so her height isnt really a problem. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing them do a story of Jen the Lawyer with an alter ego, if written well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
