An underwhelming ending, Victors characters ended up being pointless, i get that they wanted to talk about the femicides in Ciudad Juárez but they should have found a better way to do that then to just have a new character stare into empty space or photos a few minutes every episode, Amado's ending was also a disappointment, Alex's and Walt's storyline were in the show to remind us that there are no good guys, which was made clear in season 1 of Narcos, and the newspaper organisation story fells unnecessary because all they really did was expose the general and talked about how corrupted Carlos Hank González was (could have done that in a few scenes)
The show just has too many things going on at the same time for me to get attached to any one of them, they should have just kept the focus on the cartels and drugs, at this point I'm convinced they completely replaced the word "cocaine" with "product" and I don't know why.
This was so much fun, but doing all that great work setting up the reintroduction of Kingpin only to [pretend to] kill him off in his first episode back is some bullshit.
This isn't an episode of the series, but it is still under the series, so I'd move this and the previous special to "Specials" under South Park.
It was at the point after Eloise enters the first dream sequence, and Sandie descends the mirror lined stairs and dances that I thought "This is so good, I don't even care what happens next!"
Turns out, I did care. It's such a shame to see a movie that could be so brilliant suffer from such a poor and incoherent narrative.
It’s hard to rate, because there are a lot of entertaining scenes in it, but the movie at its core doesn’t really work.
I can’t shed this feeling that Edgar Wright had a visual cue in his head of a girl experiencing visions of the 1960’s first, and tried to build a movie around that second.
The characters, drama, camerawork, music selection and social commentary are all very good, but the whole set up is kinda nonsense once you know the answers to the mystery.
I kept waiting for the twist that’d explain why our protagonist has these accurate visions of things that happened 50 years earlier , but it’s never answered, despite it being the crux of the whole film.
Also, showing CGI ghosts in a horror movie using well lit close ups is never the best idea, it kinda killed a lot of the horror and suspense.
I kinda liked that I thought that I was ahead of the film at one point, only to find out that it was a big misdirect to make you think you were ahead.
5.5/10
The one long continuous tracking shot at the end of the episode was fucking amazing!!! Watch the episode for that shot, seriously omg
Pretty and all, but Imashi summed it up best when he said he already has fight scenes in his head, and just appropriated those scenes for Star Wars. This is just Trigger at its most generic, and no real spark to any of the proceedings.
So, we're just supposed to gloss over the fact that they were breathing and talking while outside their ship, in outer space ? And what about the fact he was standing on the outside of his X-wing while it engaged it's hyperdrive .... LOL
Meh, bit of a buzzkill after such a strong first episode
Just when this episode finally gets interesting it ends….. sigh
this episode was absolutely awful. I lost interest as soon as Thor landed. I just didn't care at all about any of the characters.
Yet another both fundamentally flawed and lame episode. Not only was this cringe makingly dreadful, much like the previous episode the concept was seriously flawed.
If Thor was an idiot he would never be worthy of Mjolnir.
Not sure I'll bother with the rest of this series.
It started so well...
The only interesting part in this episode was the cliffhanger.
This episode, while delivering on some neat fanservice, is far too childish (much like Party Thor). Most of the jokes are unfunny, the story is something out of a Saturday morning cartoon, and the stiffness of the animation is boldly on display.
"What if Thor had reality-bending dumbness powers?"
A failed attempt at humor and a complete waste of time. Special shout-out to this episode's Darcy for being the most painfully unfunny character in the history of the MCU.
Another garbage episode. Series has been on a massive downfall since the amazing Dr. Strange episode.
This episode gave us no development or purpose other than a 5 second piece at the very end. At this rate, What If may end up sitting at the bottom of my MCU rankngs, though Captain Marvel, Incredible Hulk and Thor 2 are a hot mess.
However - IF this show is Marvel testing the waters for a potential Howard the Duck animated (or CGI show), I'm 100% in.
did a 5 year old write this episode? seriously, this was a really cringe episode and it didn't help that Captain Karen showed up
The idea was cool but sadly the reasoning not so much, cause I’m sorry but no one cares about Hope like that or the Pyme family, so I was expecting for the killer to be someone else, someone shocking. And also I was expecting for the “new” avengers to be someone unexpected, captain america and captain marvel, that's a solid team and you pretty much don't need anyone else when you have them, so maybe like the younger avengers or sam, dr ross, yelena, like their counterparts.
It was pretty underwhelming. Basically the same story but with a female Captain and also now Iron Man too.
Not sure if it’s just because I’m not a massive captain America’s fan but I found this really boring. So Howard stark could have made an iron man suit that whole time but he just….. didn’t see a need for it?
Ugh. After last week's excellent episode, this was a major step down and makes me reconsider following this series. The writing was atrocious, with every other character quipping at the worst of times. (Worst offender: Sharon Carter quipping "Blam" after blowing Happy's head off.) Not only that, but the third act turn hangs on a supremely illogical and shitty character decision.
This, to me, is an example of what happens when the MCU "formula" is handled by bad writers. You get this illogical mess that thinks it's way funnier than it is. Hope this is the low point of the series and not a sign of things to come.
Talking Thanos into being good? That's just cringe.
Still wondering how Thor died to a single arrow (even if it had the extra force from Hank), it only took a DAY for Loki to take office and he also knew what a mobile phone is. Also why is Hank Yellowjacket, rather than Ant-Man?
Bad, really bad chapter. First of all the comedy is the curse of MCU, it felt like a really big joke. Reminded me how Thor and Hulk turned into some kind of clowns. And after this episode i finally decided i hate Mark Ruffalo, Edward Norton would been a waaay better Bruce and Hulk.
Love Bob Ross, but this was very lacking in terms of it being a documentary
It was okay, but I wouldn't have started with this episode. It's like watching a cartoon bootleg version of the first avenger with not enough difference. I wanted to see more of where her journey took her, not the same movie she was already in. Not a strong debut episode in my opinion.
I don’t know what Hayley Atwell did to deserve a weird clip show that has the pacing of Rise of Skywalker’s first act, and has mostly terrible performances across the board. I mean, was the voice director not around when Sebastian Stan was recording his lines?? Most of the dialogue was stilted and stiff as well. This whole thing was just really off. The idea of Captain Carter is so fucking exciting, but they really missed the mark for me.
I still have hope and am excited for future episodes, especially since it seems like they won’t be playing 2 hour movies at 4x speed, but this wasn’t the greatest of starts.
It looked really pretty though!
If you kinda bored and got 2 hours to kill, take a nap instead.
Awful film. Really really bad.
Very disappointed.
Story was very bad
Acting was very bad
Animation was even bad, especially from Lebron's character.
Even Sonequa Martin-Green couldn't save this movie.
I don't understand how this movie got the green light.
...sigh
