Helena punching out Indy and not letting him die in peace is the perfect metaphor for what Disney is doing to the franchise...
This is elder abuse.
Because Natasha is always described as this awesome super spy, I really thought this movie would be kind of an over-the-top James Bond movie. I mean, you've got a Soviet Big Bad Guy with an evil lair and evil plan, like in the old school Bond films. I was very happy early on in the movie, with the Soviet agents couple undercover in Ohio, and then when Nat tries to lay low after Civil War. But then it switched from a potentially cool spy movie (and original for a Marvel) to a classic super hero movie.
So instead we got an over-the-top Agents of SHIELD episode. Every hero is sub-par, except Taskmaster, which doesn't even get that much screen time. The second most powerful hero, Red Guardian, is ridiculed all the time and doesn't really have an opportunity to shine. I thought the prison escape would be that. I mean, Netflix did a crazy good prison fight scene in The Punisher, but Marvel couldn't even remotely top that in a huge production? Very disappointed by all the missed opportunities.
Chakotay stories are the worst. This one manages to mostly scrape by due to being Voyager's first real encounter with the Borg, and at this point the Borg were still pretty intimidating. It's all a bit silly, though. Chakotay's romance with Riley felt completely false, and Janeway's ethics are all over the place from episode to episode.
At the end, Harry was on the Borg cube and called for an emergency beam out for him and the rest of the away team. Cut to bridge, Paris reports that the away team are all safely back on board - and suddenly Harry is also on the bridge, manning his station. Pretty sure he wasn't beamed there (Janeway even addresses "MacKenzie").
Really enjoyed this one. The visuals look great, music was perfect including the sound effects. The story is good, and you will root for the characters (that even change and progress as the story goes). Godzilla is scary and menacing. I can't think of anything I did not like. Can't wait for a streaming release to see it again.
Oh my gods that emotional he’ll ride this was. It was too much really. The tears kept streaming. Just, wow.
To think we’ve been with these idiots for so long… and now it’s over. Like… everything ends at some point but wow this was strong:sparkles:
Gotta love Sam for being able to break up the tension again with a bit of a laugh there in the end.
Great final episode I pray for a season 2! I want to see more of diablos overpowerful magic and more adventures with shera, rem and klem.
This one was the first real good Short Trek but at the same time I wish they had made this a one hour episode as we could have learned so much more about the Kelpiens and Saru's past.
Anyone else notice the World of Warcraft references in this episode? Especially when someone yelled, "Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrooooooooooooooooooooyyyyyyyyyyyyy"... (for Leeroy Jenkins - YouTube the video) ... then later on Cisco mentions the game itself.
As a fan of the game, this was so damn cool to me!!
20 years later and Gillian Anderson is still responsible for giving boys everywhere happy dreams.
In a show with so many characters, one of the most emotional deaths was the guy with one word of dialogue. That's why Game of Thrones is so great.
This was a lot of fun. And the soundtrack was awesome :)
