The 'What are you watching' Thread

Finally watched this too, and it feels like it was just shoe-horned into the MCU for some other purpose. Sort of like Justice League (the original release, not Snyder Cut) where you were just expected to know who all these characters were with no backstory. I'm guessing huge chunks were cut from the movie/script and still it ended up being 2.5hr...

I feel that way about Eternals and Shang-Chi. Now, I'm not saying that I didn't like the movies. Shang-Chi in particular was really good. I just think that they didn't seem to fit the MCU mould.

We felt the same, that The Eternals especially didn't feel like an MCU movie. I can see that too a bit with Shang-Chi now that you mention it. Now, in their defence, or if I play devil's advocate, or whatever, these are part of Phase 4 MCU, so maybe they are trying to make them different? But The Eternals really has a lot of stuff to pick apart once you start. I quite liked Shang-Chi, more than I expected to anyway.

Where can you watch the Snyder cut of Justice League? I keep forgetting to look that up. And no... I don't want to torrent it ;)

I just can't get into it because of the main character I can not for the life of me take him seriously at all. I think if it was anyone else I could be its him I think its because pretty much ever other older tv series he was in was family stuff so he is type casted in my head

I don't recognize him and haven't checked for other stuff he's done. what else has he been in?

and yeh...when you have an actor that's been type cast, it's hard to see them as anyting else. a really good example is Brent Spiner.

I concur. it doesn't feel like it belongs in the MCU and even weirder, how, due to Arishem being the creator of the 'universe', as that should make this story arc supersede everything else. but perhaps this move is the gateway to introduce arcs / movies for the Eternals?

I suppose it was better, in that each character got a bit of a origin story and things seemed to flow better, but I'm not certain I would call it memorable either. It's pushing 4hr though, so I watched it in 2 parts.
 
10/10 episode IMO. Although tbh it wasn't a Boba Fett episode. Felt like it had everything. Action, humour, some feel good moments. Loved it.


Also been watching Hanna. Not what I was expecting tbh. But enjoying it.

Yeah ep 5 was by far the best episode by far. Loved it.
I do question why they had a whole episode of a 7 episode series dedicated to a whole other show but I will take it . Plus future grogu armor :love:
 
Agreed, The Book of Boba Fett (maybe we can start saying BBF for short? ;) ) chapter 5 was very good!

But oh the irony that the best episode of the series so far didn't have Boba in it AT ALL!?

They have a real conundrum on their hands here I think. I love that they brought them back together, but as a huge Boba fan, at least the movie Boba, the issue here is that Mando is just a whole lot cooler than what they are doing with Boba. I really don't get it. And the teenage biker gang with Boba? Did I mention that yet? Ugh... Anyway.

It also makes me wonder what their plans are for weaving BBF and The Mandalorian shows together. If Mando is going to be an enforcer now for Boba, what does that mean for what they do with him in his own show? His new ship, I really like it and it's cool, but doesn't make much sense for a bounty hunter. But as a ship for scooting around as an enforcer, yeah that works. He can put some stuff in the droid hold, but not much. It'll be interesting to see what they do with it all.

Great to see The Armorer and the Darksaber again. And Peli Motto, his ship tech on Mos Eisley is a great character. Dated a Jawa 😁 Cool stuff! And 100% coolness for Grogu armour... little tiny chainmail breastplate perhaps? Seemed like The Armorer was making rings.
