Markdoc Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 HAs the new season started showing over there yet? If yes, are you enjoying it? Not yet, but I'll keep an eye out for it - or maybe just get the season on disc or download, the way we do GoT. Cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mark Fair enough. I hope you enjoy it as much as season 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Agents of SHIELD pretty much operates at a PG-13 level, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 That's probably PG-13. From the font of all Internet knowledge, Wikipedia: Depictions of violence are generally restricted to PG and above. The violence in a PG rated film will not be intense, while violence that is both intense and persistent will generally require at least an R rating. Violence is not prohibited in G rated films, but if present will be minimal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Ok, board won't let me edit below the quote above, so new post: Technically, it's either TV-PG or TV-14 for some episodes according to IMDB (b/c TV doesn't use the MPAA system): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2364582/parentalguide#certification This page notes that "Overall, the violence is slightly more graphic than the films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, all of which are rated PG-13." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2364582/parentalguide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I could keep going with this, actually. There is much limb loss in these PG movies--two more arms, two hands, one head, and at least one leg that I can think of, off the top of my head. Oh, and a torso bisection.

Pattern Ghost Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 That's PG-level violence. Unrealistic and bloodless. (Seriously, the wound in the second pic is putting out sparks instead of blood.) Also, the MPAA takes into consideration the movie as a whole, and Star Wars Storm Troopers shoot only slightly better than the A-Team. That aside, you really have to give Lucas a hand for keeping with a theme. Edit: PG-13 always seemed like a silly distinction to me anyway.

Starlord Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 That makes me wonder why in all of Jedi/Sith recorded history that no one has bothered to come up with suitable arm/wristguard against lightsabers.

Yes, but Lucas has said the Star Wars movies are made for small children so its ok. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/394542.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassandra Posted January 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 My problem with Agents of SHIELD is that it takes forever to get the to point. I'm only watching it out of sheer inertia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 How far in are you? I can see that as a very valid complaint for the first half of Season 1. Past that point, I think they really get the ball rolling. If you just don't like longer story arcs, that's a valid preference, but it doesn't make the show bad on any objective level.

st barbara Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Holly Holm (Current whateverweight Women's UFC Champion, beat Rousey like a red-headed step child) when she's cut: Holy Holm when she's not fighting or promoting: Oh my god! Suddenly, she's not buff enough to be a boxing and MMA champion! What's that all about? Just body fat percentage. She still has enough muscle to KO another pro fighter. Here's a collage of Gadot: Holm is 5'8" to Gadot's 5'10", so Gadot's showing a similar level of muscle mass. Given that WW is a fighter and not a body builder and that her powers aren't dependent on muscle mass, I'd say Gadot's doing OK. It's simply not easy for women to put on mass. Gadot looks athletic enough to be a female fighter, and that's about all we can expect, unless we want some stunt casting of a strength athlete who has abnormal muscle mass but can't act. 5'10' ? I can just see someone saying "Aren't you a bit short to be Wonder Woman" when she first appears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywind Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hemsworth is too short to be Thor, but he seems to be doing it just fine.Jackman is too tall to be Wolverine, but he's been doing it for 16 years. aylwin13, Christopher R Taylor and Lord Liaden 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Well, Hemsworth and Gadot are only a couple inches off...silly to quibble about that. Jackman's a whole foot taller playing a character who's height is somewhat integral to the character. I don't personally care about it but I could see it as a legitimate reason for bothering people.

Greywind Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hemworth is 3" too short. Three whole inches! That's like 1/4 of a foot-long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iuz the Evil Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 http://www.superherohype.com/news/364357-justice-league-action#/slide/1 I didn't know where else to put the reappearance of an ANIMATED JUSTICE LEAGUE SERIES! Executive producer of Teen Titans Go! running this makes me very nervous. But Kevin Conroy voicing the Batman and Mark Hamill as the Joker is a very good sign. 11 minute episodes? Huh.
