Christopher R Taylor Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Its funny how people tend to not like grim, unhappy, uncharismatic, and non charming protagonists. Strange that, isn't it?

Matt the Bruins Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 That meme collage "Avengers Made in the 90s" really missed out by not using Paul from Clueless as the casting choice for Ant Man. Old Man and mattingly 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Here's what Wizard Magazine thought in 1995 for Avengers casting. If you don't want to see the image: Howie Long as Captain America Fabio as Thor Timothy Dalton as Iron Man Emilio Estevez as Hawkeye Paulina Porizkova as Scarlet Witch Annette Benning as Tigra Some of those are pretty good casting. Some are... ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher R Taylor Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Hearing some meh buzz about Loki. Hiddlestone good actor but bleh boring and sort of confusingly pointless story: everything is predetermined so there's no heroism and no choices.

There has been only one episode to far that has been seen by the general public. Currently, it is running 96% on Rotten among critics (who have seen 2 episodes) and 84% among the general audience who have seen only the first episode.

If they take an intelligent path from the first episode, it could be good. If we're to take the first episode at face value, then I think you're right. I'm willing to let it play out.

However, since you have not seen any episodes at all, you don't really have any grounds to have an opinion one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 I'm hoping its better than I have heard, but it doesn't sound good so far. Maybe they're setting something up that isn't as bad as it sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranxerox Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 I've seen the first episode and thought it showed promise. As Pattern Ghost indicated it is going to depend heavily on where they go from here. As for the whole predestination thing, that not really how it works. The Timekeepers selected a timeline to be the one that they keep and defend. They didn't create the timeline. The people in the timeline all got to make their choices, to be heroic or villainous. It is only from the standpoint of the Timekeepers that the decisions are already prescribed. Just as we can look back on the past and say what happened, but that does not mean that people at the time weren't making decisions, and taking chances and making sacrifices with which they would have to live. Still, it has already been strongly foreshadowed, that Loki is going to try to break the Timekeepers and their organization. So, that is likely to be a big part of the series going forward.

Lord Liaden Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 Marvel seems to be leaning heavily into their multiverse for its next phase. That could answer some of the questions about how they plan to introduce the new properties Marvel Studios has announced or has acquired.
