August 27, 20214 yr I didn't love it but my 13yo Marvel movie fanatic daughter thought it was the best yet. She's got a twisted sense of humor and thought it was hilarious that... Spoiler ...so many of the main heroes died...

Though I figured out that it was Hank Pym after Barton was killed. Enjoyed that he made his suit the Yellow Jacket version to show he had gone crazy with rage. That's very much like the comic version of Hank Pym. Didn't really have an issue with that. Just how easy it was.

Was hankering really that powerful? And how did a fucking arrow kill Thor? He can fly through ships and withstand the focused heat of a star…

I didn’t realize until this episode that Thor 1, IM2, and Hulk all happened in the same week.

August 29, 20214 yr The first ep was strong, but, even though there are entertaining bits, my interest is waning. It is sorta neat, but there is no emotional investment in the characters.

September 2, 20214 yr Who is the dad of the year? This guy!..just watched with the 6 and 9 year old, as we have with the other 3 that they have enjoyed. They sat in shear fucking silence for about a minute as the credits rolled. Fml. I wonder if I should screen these first. Edited September 2, 20214 yr by UT_OB1

Only have to pay for therapy until they are 18, and then you can cut them loose.
September 3, 20214 yr My 13yo and 11yo loved episode 4. They like "dark" it seems. Perhaps I should worry...
September 3, 20214 yr I never noticed before but Benedict Cumberbatch's "American accent" sounds a lot like Hugh Laurie's.
September 3, 20214 yr I mean at least some of them have to be dark, or else the movie universe is the dark universe

Regular animation is fine. Live-action is fine. Even regular CGI, e.g. LotR or Avatar, can be fine. This style may be too close to the uncanny valley for me.
September 8, 20214 yr Author Yes, the dark What Ifs were always the best What If? comics. That was great. I get the feeling that one will come back into play later. This week's will be a good one... Spoiler Edited September 8, 20214 yr by mdmost

September 15, 20214 yr Yeah that one was fine, but it was probably my least favorite. Edited September 15, 20214 yr by Js1
September 16, 20214 yr I really like this last one - I find Killmonger to be one of the more interesting Marvel characters. Also, it's kinda ridiculous that RDJ and Goop Girl can't be bothered to record fewer than 30 minutes of dialogue for these shows. Meanwhile, Chadwick is on his deathbed cranking out voice acting for his character. I know their contracts are up, long time commitment to Marvel, blah blah blah ... but come on. These are your characters that you built. Take some interest in maintaining the continuity at least. They could do it at home in their pajamas or yoga pants.
September 16, 20214 yr I liked the killmonger one. I find that a lot of these endings are leaving me wanting to watch more of the story.
September 18, 20214 yr Author I liked it but what a weird ending. Just kinda ends and is open ended a lot like the Loki one where Carol arrives back on Earth. From the midseason preview, I think certain storylines are going to merge like Captain Carter, T'Challa Starlord, Dark Dr Strange, and Zombies. We still haven't gotten Party Thor yet from the previews (no goatee Thor). I'm not sure I'll like the merging of the multiverses but I bet that ties into the Loki series with Kang in some form. I can't recall the comics doing that.
September 22, 20214 yr Yeah it was very light and goofy, not so much serious. Thor throws big alien party, Frigga mad, Jane still horny for Thor and Darcy is horny for Carol's cat. Hopefully the appearance of Spoiler Infinity Ultron leads into a coherent big bad for the rest of season 1 and season 2 Edited September 22, 20214 yr by Js1
September 23, 20214 yr Author It had some funny parts but the ending was the highlight. We're definitely getting a merging of the multiverses as the finale.
September 30, 20214 yr Guess it’s a good thing that I watched this series. Didn’t realize it was going to tie into the movie canon.

September 30, 20214 yr The Killmonger one was awesome too. These are getting way better after the first two were not very good IMO.
