So, after She-Hulk ended, I wandered over to Ms. Marvel and gave it a try. It’s the only Marvel TV show that I’ve not watched and so my obsessive-compulsive tendencies over-rode my reluctance about the show.
And you know what, I actually like it.
The other thing that pushed me to try the show was the fact that I’m playing the Avengers solo campaign now and I actually like the Kamala Khan character. So I thought it would be interesting to watch the show side-by-side with playing her origin story in the game.
Obviously there’s plenty of narrative differences between the two stories so far, but they are quite similar also. I like both actresses’ take on Kamala, but I think I lean toward the game’s version more. In the game she’s less “distressed misunderstood teenager” and more “quirky and likable goofball.”
I’m impressed with the TV show’s colorful and unique art style. The fact it’s visually interesting has been a good selling point on the predicable origin-story plot (so far… I’ve only just watched the first episode). And I’m not a person who blindly beats the diversity drum, but one of the things I like is the Pakistani family backdrop.
Yeah, that She-Hulk finale was brilliant. Absolutely nailed a key aspect of the comics while taking enough shots at Marvel execs without it seeming too over the top. My favourite MCU show so far and probably up there with my favourite MCU content in general.
I think this is a good time to mention that this is the Marvel thread and not just the MCU thread, feel free to talk about anything marvel! Games, comics, movies, nappies?
@nessisonett As someone who tracked down as many John Byrne She-Hulk comics as I could when I was young, I really enjoyed the tone of the series. Some of the episodes were uneven, but the good far outweighed the bad and the finale was a hoot. Seems like they used a bit from the Dan Slott run too, which I also thought was fantastic. Glad I’m not the only one who enjoyed the show since it seemed to irritate a lot of people for reasons that elude me.
@Jackpaza0508 I probably would have worn Spider-Man Goodnites as a child, even though I didn't have any toilet/bedwetting issues lol. Spider-Man was my #1 fave childhood superhero (and he still is my fave today).
Think it has to do with my autism maybe, never cared what anyone though of my clothing choices (still don't to a reasonable degree).
@Eagly Glad you were able to secure a copy, even though it's on a platform you don't have! (for the moment)
@JohnnyShoulder oh wicked, what does she do? I kept getting e-mails to be an extra on it but I was busy with "normal" work and didn't fancy giving my phone to a security guard for 12 hours a day (what if there is an emergency at home?) because Marvel treats the lowest rung of film workers like children because a couple of idiots decided to leak something once.
Sorry that was supposed to be a positive and genuinely interested question about your niece! But then I remembered my experience of working on most big budget films (not just Marvel)
She was one of the many make up artists and got paid very well for it! She also randomly appeared as an extra on a upcoming Netflix film she was working on, which was unplanned. I will have to quiz her on the working conditions, but I think she was just grateful for the work as it has been a bit of a struggle recently.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@JohnnyShoulder ah that's brilliant, I bet it was super exciting. Even I'll admit the temptation of working on Ant Man and also Secret Invasion which filmed over here almost got me to come out of my self imposed exile for the film industry. But yeah, too much for me and my old body really 😅
@KidBoruto Remember me from the Deadpool game? As it turns out GameStop’s system glitched and they don’t have the game. They are refunding me and it isn’t coming. Now I have to decide wether to buy it for $80 on Amazon
Damn the game went out of print fast. $80 for Xbox One, $100 for PS4...
I found some cheaper copies elsewhere, including the links below.
