Much better overall than season 1, but not as strong as the Cottonmouth half of season 1. Overall, a better season. I hope there's a season 3; want to see where they go now. I think Tilda will end up following in her mama's footsteps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll leave my thoughts on why I didn't like the ending in spoilers Tildy's turn towards being a potential villain was done well, but Luke's was not. I understand Misty and that annoying bootlegger in the barbershop being concerned with Luke potentially being swayed by the power, but what did they expect him to do? Running around Harlem in a hoodie, beating up on street thugs who don't have any influence in their crime rings they frequent was ineffective, and ultimately fruitless. He goes to the bosses directly and told them to stay out of Harlem. Violent crime ended...what's the problem? Granted, taking the club and having those bosses there, not a good look. But if they wanted to give the audience the impression that Luke was being swayed to the dark side, they should've given us a better reason than he learned he didn't have to protect Harlem with just his fist. Maybe my opinion on it is influenced by the fact I know Luke in the comics is probably just as noble as Captain America. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Damn... Lil Cool Runnings just wrecked cuz ???(just finished ep 3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) Just started ep 12. Haven't been paying attention all that much to the episode names, but after noticing the last few (Main Ingredient, If It Ain't Rough It Ain't Right, and now You Can't Front on Me), I like the homage, after Gang Starr for season 1. One of the greatest, oft-underrated groups ever, and producers (in Pete Rock). Meant so much to the game. Mecca & The Soul Brother is also one of my favorite albums ever Love this season so far.

I have to say, I thought it was every bit as good as the first movie. Michelle Pfeiffer looks beautiful for her age. It was funny too. Spoiler Was surprised the only tie in to "the snap" from Infinity War was in the post credits. Not sure how Scott is going to escape the Quantum Realm now either since Hank, Hope, and Janet are dust. Nobody knows he's there. Maybe Ghost, if she made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Can’t wait to see it. In sad news, Steve Ditko passed. On the comics Mount Rushmore for sure. https://www.npr.org/2018/07/07/626873161/steve-ditko-comic-book-artist-who-helped-create-spider-man-dies-at-age-90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Just saw Ant Man and Wasp. Never saw the first one. Wasn't that interested in this one, but went because a friend was going. Really enjoyed it. I keep saying this about Marvel movies, but I'm constantly surprised with how much character they manage to cram in between the too-elaborate fight scenes. It also opened with this trailer, which I decided I absolutely will be seeing, before the trailer was even half over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe my opinion on it is influenced by the fact I know Luke in the comics is probably just as noble as Captain America. Well dang, things were looking spicy, like Spoiler Luke was going to briefly lose his mind, and Bushmaster would come back for Harlem's Paradise with Tilda by his side, but now with sort of a face turn. I did like the ep with Iron Fist, and I hope that all the characters drop in occasionally for each others shows (knock knock, Punisher... Isn't he supposed to be tight with these guys too?) I liked Bushmaster. He's no Cottonmouth, but he's a sizeable step up from Diamondback, who was a little too over the top psycho babble southern baptist. I didnt like that ESPN ruined several episodes though. None of that **** made any sense, and I've long wanted them to stay the hell out all movies and shows l, because they always cheese it up. Always. Never fails. I can't wait for Daredevil, which I'm assuming drops at some point before the end of this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I enjoyed Ant Man and the Wasp, but I couldn't help feeling leaving the theater that it was missing Rick Moranis. If they just gave him a bit part then it could have been Honey, I Shrunk the Kids IV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Thinking about this, this morning. Who's been the best bad guys in the 20+ Marvel movies to far? I think Loki, Red Skull, and Killmonger are my top 3 (in no order). I think 2 of the 3 aren't really bad guys either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
