Oz ,'Beneath You'
Discussion of all Marvel Cinematic Universe related movies and TV shows, including, but not limited to, the Avengers, Captain America, Agent Carter, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, etc., etc., etc. ad-infinitum.
Discussion of non-MCU Marvel titles like the X-Men or the Fantastic Four is also permitted. Ties to comics may be discussed, but this is not the primary forum for comics discussion (see the Other Media thread).
Spoiler policy: For broadcast TV shows, blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast. For movies and Internet streaming shows, whitefont all plot-related discussion until it's been in wide release two weeks. Posters are encouraged to preface their posts to indicate the subject, particulary if switching subjects.
"Oh, hey, I'm married with two kids and one on the way and a farm in the boonies! Suddenly useful plot twist!"
I'm mostly handwavy with things I don't like in the MCU, but that Sudden Useful Plot Twist made me grind my teeth. I could rant like a nerd about why, but I'll spare you.
Given the traditional vulnerability of spy families, it just seemed too blasé of Clint to say "Oh, Fury promised me they wouldn't be in any of the records." And I know what the fate of that family was in the comic books.
It would have been funnier to try and hide them all in a ratty apartment building in Bed Stuy--though we would have missed the wood chopping scene.
The only Ultimate that is not a STUPID ASS CHOICE is Ultimate Spider-Man.
He's got a good cartoon, at least.
The Spectacular Spider-man cartoon was way better. (Still bitter.)
The Ultimate Spider-man comics were good, though.
Netflix has confirmed a Jessica Jones 2nd series, and there are rumors that it's considering a Punisher series. Makes me wonder if they're ever going to get around to Iron Fist.
Yay! I raise a bourbon-based drink in Jessica Jones' honor.
Now that was the best fight sequence I've seen on TV in a good long time.
Are you people watching the Captain America special? At the very end, someone's saying something about how there's "always a Captain America," and the b-roll under that is MLK, Amelia Earhart, a guy I didn't recognize, John McCain, and Harvey Milk. Now THAT is covering some bases!
Is Angie in this season?
