It’s a shame that such a beautiful and well done show is littered with such stupid comments about language. Seriously it’s not that big of a deal.
Here's what I don't understand...
Isn't this supposed to be a show that asks questions that we legitimately want to know the answer to? As far as I can tell, WHAT IF simply pulls out a number of questions that nobody seems to care about. The multiverse is infinite...that's the point. Sure, the episode questions/answers are valid, but it doesn't defeat its main issue...nobody cares.
I'd instead propose to have the show answer questions fans might have asked themselves at one point...like What If The Avengers Battled the DCEU?
Or, how about What If Spider-Man (2002) ran into the X-Men (2000)? All the Marvel universes are SUPPOSED to be canon now, aren't they? Why limit it only to the current MCU? Here's another idea - what if the Avengers traveled the multiverse and discovered the actors Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Sam Jackson, etc - who were all playing them in a movie version. Make it meta!
Answer questions we want to see...and stop asking the most random questions nobody ever once considered.
It's my fault, because I keep hurting myself with these shows already knowing that they are going to suck. This time the writers barely got enough material for a mediocre Marvel movie but decided to go for a six-episode series instead - and it's only part one. The set-up hinted at infinite possibilities, too bad that all we get are characters walking in circles for more cringe-worthy quips and drowsy info-dumps about multiverse rules which, by the way, keep changing with each new movie or TV series.
Terrible! I was enjoying the show until the season 1 finale. I don't get why so many people are liking this... don't you people get it why the "multiverse" is a terrible ideia? just look at the comics and the various "reset the universe" sagas. let me explain: now, marvel can do whatever it want without any consequence:
- let's brutally kill spider man!
- nooo, we lose one of the best heroes and the screenwriters have to be creative to continue the history...
- don't worry, we kill him, people are gonna invets their emotions and give us ticket money, and them.... we tell that the spider man that was killed was from another time line and we can milk another spidet man for money... and another... and another...
If this multiverse was a good thing, marvel and dc wouldn't need to create stories to erase all the multiverses and start over. Multiverse = No consequences + confusion
get it? marvel can now create histories that IF the audience doesn't like it, it is just a matter of "oh well... this happened on a multiverse that has no connection with the canonical universe" and all your investments (emotional and financial) are worthless if marvel decides.
Now, if they want, even the events on every other movie (the blip, iron man's death, the scrifice of black widow...) can be escuse as "other universe" and this is cheating!
BUT... hopefully... Dr. Strange 2 can fix this, so this multiverse BULLSHIT can be erased without any bad repercussions
This was one of the better MCU productions in the post-Endgame era. The series successfully created a story that captured Loki's character while fitting into the broader MCU storyline. However, I was never captivated by the story and felt a lack of connection to the characters.
I love the premise of this show. I loved the aesthetics as well. The special effects were phenomenal, and I did like the characters. Some really great performances in this.
Definitely one of the best new shows Disney has put out, but it's nowhere near Wanda Vision. It's also way out of the league of Moon Knight. If there was a consistent level of quality in the shows, this should have been it.
Unfortunately, this show wanted a second season so bad it completely deflated the ending. Dropped at least a full start simply because it has ZERO resolution, and no compelling action to even warrant the second season. It's an ending that someone who only thinks they're really smart (but isn't) would write. But I suspect there's a lot of overlap in Big Bang Theory fans and MCU fans, so good for them.
what a stupid show. Hollywood/Disney outdid themselves on showing their stupidity on this one . waste of file time and money.
Honestly, just average. There is a lot of potential and sparks of brilliance; the casting is fantastic and the premise even better. However, they manage to turn what should have been a convoluted yet well-told psych thriller into a very straightforward tale. Expected something akin to Legion Season 1, got something much more pedestrian. They leave some open strands in the end — such as the third possible character inhabiting Mark/Steven’s body and the role of the hospital and why he’s back in his bed at the end — as if to say it isn’t so straightforward after all, tee hee, but those are such low-hanging fruits. Very few people would care if it didn’t pan out.
Season 2 felt like a bad rehash of season 1. It's not identical, and in many ways, it's a kinder, gentler (and weaker) version of the first season...but a lot of the motifs were the same. Which season does this describe?-- The siblings are uncomfortably estranged from each other while Five struggles to get them to come together in the face of an impending apocalypse, but they're all too preoccupied with their own lives (Allison, her family by marriage and career; Vanya, a romance of discovery, Klaus manic pixie hoboing around; Diego with an even dumber hero complex; attempted murder by the Commission; Reginald is a distant, mysterious, and malevolent figure...), coming together around the time that their stupid projects start to converge to create the predicted apocalypse. There's a fight scene to an unexpected, peppy song. There's a sibling-cutesy scene with dancing to another fun old song. Hmm.
At least we got to see more Ben, who did have some nice scenes. On the other hand, prolonged fart joke as a plot point. The choice of music was strong, but not as fun and varied as the previous season (obviously that's like a double-subjective opinion). Good enough to watch, but underwhelming and made me just want to go back and enjoy season 1 again instead
People downvoting this like we know anything at all about the show.
Dont understand why rating shows/episodes before the release date is still a thing.
season 1: a painful slog, but necessary. finale is pretty good though.
season 2: pretty good, like an average season of TCW, mostly because of returning characters. Finale is especially good.
seasons 3-4: absolutely killer. It's worth getting through the first seasons just to watch the late show. The ending leaves me wanting more.
My only real annoyance is the animation style. Characters are too "bouncy" when they talk, it's an off-putting stylistic choice that persists to the end of the show. If TCW was too stiff, Rebels is too energetic. I never got used to it, but that didn't keep me from enjoying the show.
The characters grew on me as the show progressed. Everyone's pretty unlikeable in season 1 but later seasons really flesh them out. The show as a whole brings some interesting elements into the SW Canon universe.
Can't wait for Rebels characters to reappear in future live action SW media.
I find it really tough to rate this show. The majority of it, is just pretty meh/fair (5-6/10). But there are a lot of exceptional highs. Lots of arcs well deserving of high 8-10/10 ratings. However, as well as the highs, there are also many lows. For me, the show was just very inconsistent in terms of how captivating it was. There were times where I had to sludge through 4 episodes in a row that were filled with corny dialogue and boring plotlines, and that's without me even mentioning Jar Jar or Padme episodes. But there were other times where I was on the edge of my seat for a 4 episode arc.
In the end, I have to settle with a good score of 7/10. If I were to take an average of all my ratings throughout the show, it's probably more like a 6/10. But as a Star Wars fan who was very much satisfied with the good arcs, I bump that 6 up to a 7.
What Pacific Rim is advertised as: Giant Robots fighting Giant monsters
What Pacific Rim is: Giant Robots fighting Giant monsters+Ron Pearlman+Charlie Day
It's great entertainment and if you were expecting some high art then you deserve to be disappointed
When the giant robots were fighting the giant monsters this movie was ridiculously enjoyable, but I had to go though about an hour of horrendously bad dialogue and plot performed by unlikable characters that added nothing to the action.
I'm hoping for a director's cut of this movie with all the superfluous stuff removed and tossed into a fire pit.
For me, Pacific Rim was a huge disappointment: I mainly bought the BluRay because the flick was directed by Guillermo del Toro (I really liked his first Hellboy movie) and because it had good ratings across all review sites (e.g. currently 74% at Trakt). However, my excited anticipation vanished in no time: I THINK del Toro wanted the Kaiju to be seen as evil monsters that inspire fear and rage in the audience and therefore their slaughter by the Jaegers to be seen as just and noble. However, I never had mercy with mankind being attacked by the Kaiju and therefore never could identify with the glorified pilots of the Jaegers as the saviors of mankind. Additionally, after 15-30 minutes one knows exactly how the flick will end (the world is saved by a odd combination of two pilots in an old and decommissioned Jaeger based on a discovery by "Kaiju hippie" scientist). The sometimes laughable dialogs do not help either.
All in all this makes Pacific Rim an uninspired action flick I cannot recommend to anyone, even though the special effects are decent and their is a quite some action to be had. Why this movie is getting such good reviews I cannot understand: a German magazine wrote that Pacific Rim is an "exiting mixture of Transformers, Godzilla and Inception". And while the references are not altogether wrong, it lacks in many ways because Transformers and Inception are both out of league for Pacific Rim and the word "exiting" is just wrong when talking about this flick!
The premise for the movie makes no sense. Really, it doesn't. If you can get past the shoddy neuroscience, you might be okay because then it's just a "big robots kill godzilla like creatures" movie.
It is very pretty to watch but long.
Gish, what a mess, I'm still trying to figure out if I watched the same movie as everyone else, maybe there's something wrong with my brain, I don't know.
OK, not getting into spoilers (Not that there's much to spoil)
Generic characters, predictable plot, bad acting, and holy crap the exposition is handled pretty stupidly, they just throw information at your face, you can't even breathe, so annoyingly unnatural, plus the 2 hours was way too long for this movie, there was nothing interesting going on that couldn't be resolved in 30 minutes.
Anyway, worst Evangelion adaptation I've seen so far, insulting.
The effects were decent.
Oh, did I mentioned that GLaDOS had like 2 lines in the whole movie, something tells me that that was just so they can put her voice in the trailer and get the self-proclaimed "gamers" to watch, from someone that played portal, that was insulting as well.
Giving it more 3 years till they rip-off Attack on Titan, you'll see.
