durendal Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 More recent Disney+ series are lacking that "oomph" that let's you crave for more. They were able to do it with Wandavision and Loki but somehow lost it with Falcon and Winter Soldier as well as Hawkeye. Hawkeye's saving grace was Florence Pugh though. Watching the Moon Knight trailer left me confused. And he looks like a mummy to me. Quote

So...maybe that was the idea? Edited January 19, 2022 by jerrygoodman Quote

The shows are a chore to watch and it's just not fun after going through all of that rubbish with WandaVision based on the first 5 episodes of sitting through it having thought that it would have taken off after the first 2 episodes. Evidently that was not the case. Quote
Guyver1 Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Meh. I am stoked for this one. I think it'll be like fight club with a superhero. Oscar Isaac is cool, I dig the mummified look of the costume... it could be horrible, but it could also be pretty kick ass too. Either way, I'm glad MK is getting some love. 1 Quote
Tora Tan Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 I just feel a bit underwhelmed about superheroes I have never heard of. Then again, I hadn't really heard of Thor or Ironman before their movies came out... well maybe Ironman a little via spiderman comics my brother used to collect.. anyway, I liked those so I always give something a chance. Not too fussed about this, it makes me think of Dark city due to the presentation style and Isaac looks a but like Rufus Sewell. Not what I think of when I think 'Marvel' but who knows. Quote
durendal Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 Well, that's the beauty of what Marvel is doing. They take obscure characters and turn them to box office gold. Obviously if they keep on making movies or series about popular characters, sooner or later, the audience will have hype fatigue. I believe what Marvel is doing is to tell a story that spans multiple formats. Nevermind that one movie or series flopped, it's their relevance to the whole tale is what matters. Even Sony is riding on the Marvel bandwagon. Moon Knight may not be everyone's cup of tea, but the presence of the series is an important aspect to the whole phase. I mean, I'm a little let down with The Falcon and Winter Soldier, but I see their value as they put seeds in the show that the producers can sow later. The only thing they need to do is follow through, which Marvel has been very consistent with. 2 Quote
Larz Zahn Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 I truly thought that antman was going to flop, comic wise he's a boring character to me. But my God that movie was so good. I never would of thought of having a show about Jennifer Jones, but they spawned what, 3 shows off of hers? Quote

Salkafar Posted October 5, 2022 Posted October 5, 2022 Watched it. I liked it more than any other Marvel Disney+ show. Probably the Isaac factor Quote
