  1. People really need to keep this in mind. Even Paragon Studios, with a paid staff, couldn't guarantee their update timetable. It's unrealistic to expect Homecoming, or any other volunteer operation, to do so.
  2. Interesting. I caught the bandage but not it's possible significance.
  3. Just finished with the first two episodes and so far I'm loving it. It hasn't passed Hawkeye but it's tied with Loki for second place.
  4. That was certainly something. Kind of like Watchmen meets The Venture Brothers. The frenetic pace left me feeling unsure about whether I actually liked it or not, but it was unquestionably arresting.
  5. Some great ones listed thus far. I'm especially pleased that Hudson Hawk hasn't been completely forgotten. Let me just add one more: Tremors.
  6. There is one critique I keep seeing which is really off base: "Why didn't they help with the Chitari/Ultron/Thanos?" Because those threats all popped up on short notice. By the time the world knew they were happening, the Avengers had already dealt with the situation. The one exception being life post-Snap but even there a) what were the Eternals supposed to do once it had happened? and b) the Earth would have returned to its original population within a century*, a trivial inconvenience to millennia-old immortals. *Yes, Thanos' plan was dumb.
  7. Given the overall "meh" reputation this movie has garnered, I was pleasantly surprised to find it enjoyable. Perhaps it helps to play lots of Civilization—or just to have lowered expectations. It's definitely a slow burn though, I can see why someone expecting Marvel's usual fast and quippy style would be disappointed.
  8. That pretty much sums up my reaction every time I've gotten to the intro.
  9. I really don't think it needs to be a contest. I enjoyed some of the Netflix shows and didn't enjoy others. The same with Disney+. And both were head and shoulders above the CW's standard fare.
  10. I remain firmly convinced that the very minute some plaintiff with deep enough pockets takes them to court that "trademark" will collapse like a house of cards. The idea that two direct competitors can jointly own the term flies in the face of what trademarks are supposed to be.
  11. One thing this series gets right, that the Widow movie flubbed, is how beat up Clint gets even when he wins. By contrast, Natasha survived some ridiculous action scenes with barely a scratch. It made them feel less weighty.
  12. I swear this series feels more like a love letter to Natasha than her own movie was.
  13. A webcomic I was introduced to just the other day: Digger. It's a adventure romp in a decidedly atypical fantasy world. For example, the main character is a wombat, several others are hyenas, and one is a statue of Ganesh. Highly recommended.
  14. That would be a great way to keep the character around without expecting Renner to keep playing an action hero while in his 50s. Nobody wants a repeat of Indiana Jones IV, after all. And he's got the world-weary mentor persona down cold.
  15. So far I'm loving Hawkeye. I love how, even though this is clearly setting up a passing of the torch, Kate's obvious talented is nonetheless dwarfed by Clint's experience. This is the best example of his quiet competence that we've seen in the MCU thus far. I'm also glad that the series is kind of a fond farewell to Natasha, from Clint's reaction to her portrayal in the musical to him using one of her favorite plans in episode two. I wasn't wowed by the Black Widow movie so it's nice to see her getting some love here.
  16. This seems like a reasonable estimate. No matter how much we love it, this game is old. Most of us, especially here on the forums, played on live. That being said, I have seen a few posts, here and elsewhere, to the effect of "I'd heard of this game but never got the chance to play before." So the answer isn't 100%.
  17. This is Ulyeses Dare: And this is his theme music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dWetVZyuG0
  18. "Nobody" flew completely under my radar until a reviewer I follow recommended it. I'm glad he did. Excellent movie.
  19. I agree wholeheartedly. Yes, by all means take some time to let memories fade but don't put the character on a shelf. What really frustrates me is that, from what's I've seen and read of his work, Chadwick Boseman was a dedicated character actor. I suspect he would be the first to say "the show must go on".
  20. So the answer to "Who watches the Watchers" is 'Us"?
  21. The answer is simple. The worthiness test is a curse placed on Mjølnir by Odin after Thor disobeyed him. Clearly that never happened in this timeline.
  22. Yes, its a code thing. Characters will always exit portals facing southwards.
  23. I'm assuming that, like me, you're a fan of the original comics. If so, then no there's never been a movie or TV show that recaptured that experience. The animated show was more popular and everything afterwards has aped it.
  24. Fog of war is part of the character data that's saved locally on your PC. If you play on a different computer, install your game on a new hard drive, etc. it will reset to all black. You can transfer your old maps by going into Homecoming > Accounts > [User Name] > Maps and copying the Maps folder.
