Mr. Vee Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 2 hours ago, ThaOGDreamWeaver said: So, Episode 3, The People Vs Emil Blonsky: Hide contents As expected, Jen's blood is clearly a main McGuffin: one of the assailants is listed as Thunderball, which I guess confirms The Wrecking Crew. Also the fact that they're frankly rubbish villains. You really needed a name drop to confirm Spoiler the guys with the glowing crowbar and the giant wrecking ball's identities? I'm ok with them being dumb thugs but they really should be more of a threat at least. They've become a bit of a punchline in recent years but early on they could give the Avengers a tough fight.

The_Warpact Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 It's a fun show, I like it. Something I've wondered for awhile why is Wong the Sorcerer Supreme? https://www.twitch.tv/boomie373 The Revenants twitch channel, come watch us face plant, talk smack, and attempt to be world class villains.

Frostbiter Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 So far the show is growing on me and I hate shows where the characters look at or speak to the camera. I really enjoyed the way EP 3 ripped on the media. It was made-up but also very accurate at the same time.

ThaOGDreamWeaver Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 So, episode 4: Spoiler Thought Matt Berry had hit the gym and had a glow-up for about 30 seconds. Not a fan of Madisynn, but maybe that's due to one too many painful nights out when young. Also all-too-familiar with terrible dates, and people wanting one specific side of you, but not the rest of you. Wong chilling with the Sopranos is a nice conceit and points out it's a pretty lonely gig. Distinctly lacklustre / filler episode... ...or was it? Have we confirmed Jeffphisto?

My absolute favorite is the issue where a Photographer Snaps a photo of her, from a Helicopter, sunbathing Nude on the patio of her Penthouse. She spends the whole comic trying to keep the Photos from being published, in vain. But when they come out in print it turns out that someone in the publishing process thought it was a camera malfunction that caused her to be green, so they had the prints color corrected before publication. The photos didn't even look like her anymore. " When it's too tough for everyone else, it's just right for me..."

tripthicket Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Introduction of possible new romantic interest and advancement of secret group plotting against Jen (from earlier episode, trying to obtain blood sample), both in the same episode and unconnected?

ThaOGDreamWeaver Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 Spoilers from this week: Spoiler Inconvenient wedding bottle episode! Most of which seems to be Jen hitting the bottle. And then Titania. Neither of which are civilised. (Fun, but in no sense civilised). Never, ever get veneers, kids. They're really not good for you - my boss had them and had an unfortunate steak-related accident. Brush twice a day. Introducing Mallory Book properly. She's more an antagonist in the books, but here seems professional, helpful, damn funny... ...and something is off in Renée's performance. I have a feeling there's something she's hiding. Possibly to do with her kid. Ah, it's variant Edna Mode, and some very fabulous suits. No tailgag. I am disappoint. Who is HulkKing and why do I get the feeling it's her creepy tech bro date? Was he getting Mallory to act out of character? I'm all for mocking incels, but having them as the actual villain group is maybe a step too meta. WAKE UP YA MISCREANTS AND...

tripthicket Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I hope Jen finds out and is understandably furious. She attacked that one guy on sight (he had it coming), so what does Josh have coming? To those who might say, 'Well, he only stole her blood,' recall he also tricked her into bed and took pictures of her naked and sleeping (never mind that you couldn't see her bits). I won't use the R word, but this is all kinds of wrong. Sanitized for a comic book show, but every time I dwell on it now, it gets me steamed all over again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
