The problem with Sony films is the trailer looks interesting. Honestly Madame Web is just seeing potential futures. Connections to the multiverse or time variants are not strangers to the narrative lately. TVA uses magic bombs to change it. Madame Web just changes the choice.
I’m sure Strazynski is going “wait, what now?” They are obviously using the totem angle only Ezekiel is now showing behaviors like Morlun. I’m kind of digging the “evil” Spider-Man hunting them angle. I hope it has a better payoff. I mean Ezekiel becomes a spider totem through blood ritual and he’s definitely more creepy in concept than he played out in the comics. He is pretty much a version of Uncle Ben with spider powers.
I’m curious to see how it plays out. I was for Morbius too. I’m intrigued by all the Sony Spider-Verse tangents. They just did not stick the landing. Morbius was a good movie till about half way through. Then it seemed rushed. Gotta get to the battles.
I’ll see this Madame Web.
Thwipp!
'For 9 days straight'? They're doing daily episode drops?
Right?
If Echo is definitely a flop because it's being dropped all at once, is this a soft flop for being a daily release?
Much better to release these daily. What If is not the kind of show anyone is waiting for weekly.
Agreed. Though I may wait a bit to build up some to binge them a couple at a time. Even some my favorite current weekly shows, I will wait until the week of the season finale to start watching them. Reservation Dogs I've been savoring though and still have two saved heh.
But that's why something like Echo is awesome to me. I'll watch it in three nights and be happy about it.
OK, I watched the Madame Web trailer, it looks all right.
Where's Madame Web, though? Isn't she an old crone with a blindfold?
That brings to mind the scene with JT Walsh in The Big Picture where he explains how most of the theater going audience is young and if they wanted to watch old people, they'd just stay at home and look at their parents.
Madame Web - kind of an intriguing trailer I thought. If not for the shots of whatever Spider-Guy-ish dude is and then some brief glimpses of the three others in costumes, could have been a straight sci-fi thriller. Not even sure they shouldn't have left out the Spider-stuff for now...
I think What If...? daily makes some sense, as I assume it is still more or less an anthology, so you don't benefit from the "did you see that, wonder what happens next episode" discussions like on most shows.
I only questioned the Echo release schedule as maybe being a lack of confidence when it was over Thanksgiving weekend, it just seemed odd to do that, like the White House dropping bad news at 5 PM Friday - meant to be missed. I think I mentioned it earlier, I am wondering if it is the MA rating now that is making for the full drop. I will also ask, why not hold off on it longer until they merge Hulu and Disney+ in March, when there will be MA content all over the place.
Taika says he won't be doing Thor 5, and Daniel Cretton stepped down from directing Kang Dynasty to focus more on other Marvel projects such as the Wonder Man series.

To which I breathe a heavy sigh of relief. Thor 4 was my least favorite MCU movie and contributed heavily to my checked-out attitude to superhero content overall. Sounds like I may have to give Loki season 2 a watch, though.
Without fully grasping your tastes, I'm inclined to say absolutely give Loki season 2 a watch!
Love and thunder... it had some moments. It actually had some emotional beats that worked for me, some humor that worked, but nowhere near the level of Ragnarok. I want to try to rewatch it just to really see if maybe it's better than I thought, but yeah it was the first one where my argument against people who felt the MCU was going down in quality lost some heart. Quantumania though... I felt that was worse.

That's great news. I love Ragnarok but Love & Thunder has the honor of being my least favorite MCU movie. So much wasted potential.
It really sounds like things could improve soon. It's just going to be a bumpy road to Secret Wars, which I assume will end up colliding all of the multiverse stuff and giving us a "new" MCU.
There's a lot of noise but I don't think anything official yet, that Pedro Pascal may be Reed Richards.
That would be a mistake, I feel. If they're casting someone around that age they already had a good fit with John Krasinski. I think casting someone a bit younger might be a better fit, just so they can get some longevity out of the role. Pedro Pascal is such a hot commodity, I don't know that they could get a franchise out of him.
