Anyone know if there’s another page/link for the subtitled version? The English dub is pretty awful.

Trying to choose the better show between this and The Sopranos is like trying to pick your favorite child; there’s no one clear answer. Hands down one of the best television shows of all time and still holds up exceptionally well.

What If...? (2021) S1 E4
ezl88 2 points 2 years ago.

Overall story was better than the others so far, but the animation is still pretty bad unfortunately. Not what you’d expect from a studio like Marvel with an extensive history of comic book illustration. I think they could take some notes from Invincible; not the best animation, but the team includes artists from the comic and they make the show feel like it’s happening in that same universe. Animation isn’t cheap, but Disney doesn’t need to be pinching pennies.

Hot damn, forgot all about this show. Just remember watching it weekly when it was airing then being bummed when it got cancelled.

I don’t like how it’s only the second season and they’re reminiscing, and most of the scenes weren’t real.

ezl88 5 points 2 years ago.

lol that’s the joke. Typical sitcoms will do a bottle episode or recall episode in order to save money and reuse old footage or only need to film on 1 location in the case of a bottle episode. So Dan Harmon did a recall episode without re-using footage. It’s a great episode.

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Way better than the predecessor. However, the last act totally ripped off Invincible’s sequids.

Wild how tone deaf the organizers come off as.

Rick and Morty (2013) S5 E5

Solid overall episode of R&M; better than last week’s IMO. This season has been excellent so far and it says a lot when this was still pretty good and probably the second worst so far.

Well, on the bright side at least I’m not paying a subscription fee to watch bad television.

Black Widow (2021)

NGL this version of task master was… different, not what I expected or really wanted.

ezl88 1 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Agree x100. I was psyched to see Taskmaster in the MCU then disappointed upon realizing it’s essentially a completely different character.

Black Widow (2021)
ezl88 1 points 2 years ago.

Not the best MCU movie, but not the worst either. I was looking forward to seeing Taskmaster finally make an appearance in the MCU, but quickly disappointed that it’s a completely different character than the comic counterpart. Regardless, I’m hoping the character ends up returning in the future and this wasn’t a one and done type deal; be a great antagonist for an upcoming Deadpool movie/series.

Only been 2 episodes and this season slaps hard.

Thank you. I was wondering how the animation looked so good for 2003 lol

I assumed it was a scratch rather than a bite.

Marvel's Luke Cage (2016)
ezl88 1 points 2 years ago.

Just getting around to watching the Netflix Marvel shows that aren’t Punisher or Daredevil. Shame Disney canned all the Marvel-Netflix shows. WandaVision was terrible IMO and the Winter Solider + Falcon spin-off was better, but still lacking the hallmarks of a great television series. Thus far it feels like the new Marvel tv series only serve the purpose of padding the Disney+ library and being glorified advertisements for the next MCU films. The Punisher was an excellent Marvel series and just a legitimately good piece of television as a whole. Luke Cage on the other hand, so-so.

I thought the first season was very enjoyable and told a compelling story. Then the second season happens and it almost feels like a whole different show with the same characters. Halfway through Season 2 it starts dragging and giving too much screen-time to develop characters I don’t particularly care for. Maybe it’s just because it seems like Luke Cage himself takes a backseat to other characters during the season. Either way, I’d definitely recommend giving the first season a watch if, like me, you haven’t already seen it in the 5 some years since originally airing.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch (2021) S1 E2
ezl88 5 points 3 years ago.

Dave Filoni, you brilliant SOB. The guy knows how to tell a compelling story in the SW universe and after just 2 episodes it’s apparent that the quality here will be on par with Clone Wars, if not better. The only reasons I can understand for someone not enjoying the show are because they write it off immediately after seeing it’s animated or just don’t like SW. The connotation of animation being just for kids has been around in the West for over 40 years now. I didn’t watch Clone Wars myself as a kid and that was a mistake; the storytelling in animation is almost always superior to live action as a creator/writer’s imagination can go wild without an effects budget, poor actor performance, etc. I think anyone will be able to just pick this up and start watching it without having seen Clone Wars, but you really owe it to yourself to go back and watch it anyway.

The Tick (2016)

Shame this got canned after 2 seasons. Fits really well into what Amazon is doing with their superhero franchises.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch (2021) S1 E1
ezl88 6 points 3 years ago.

Nice, I didn’t know this had premiered already. Long-time Star Wars fan, but never gave Clone Wars a shot, because it aired when I was a kid and I assumed that was the intended audience. That may be so, but I finally watched it and Clone Wars is hands down the most enjoyment I’ve gotten from any SW media. Really hoping the quality/writing holds up to the predecessor. For anyone who hasn’t watched Clone Wars yet, I highly recommend you do so if you enjoy the SW universe.

So god damn good. Hands down my favorite comic series, but the fight was done even better on the show. Kirkman is a living legend.

Man, this show was a trip.

Mortal Kombat (2021)
Truthsayer -1 points 3 years ago.

It’s not a movie, it’s a disjointed mix of fighting scenes. No plot whatsoever. The cast is made of actors without charisma. Unwatchable crap.

ezl88 2 points 3 years ago.

Have you played any MK games? Disjointed mix of fighting scenes is essentially one of its tag lines. Thought it could’ve used more gore and it would’ve been great had they done no-cut action scenes, but it was pretty faithful to the games and made for a good popcorn movie. If you were expecting it to be the next Citizen Cage, that’s your own fault.

Invincible (2021) S1 E6
ezl88 1 points 3 years ago.

So good. I’m digging how Kirkman is pacing the series as opposed to the comic. The plots we’ve seen thus far were excellent in the book as well, but streamlining certain things over the course of 1-2 episodes that originally spanned 2-5 issues works better for a tv format IMO. Also, didn’t think I could praise the casting any more than I have already, but having Justin Roiland voice the trust fund dude was great. Kirkman is a treasure.

If you install uBlock Origin you probably won’t need seven.

Truth. My main browser for 10+ years was Safari, but when it dropped support for uBlock Origin I quickly ditched it for Firefox. It’s so good that I literally forget pop-up ads exist until I see them mentioned.

Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
ezl88 1 points 3 years ago.

Fun movie, but demands your full suspension of belief. Filled to the brim with glaring plot holes, leaps in logic, and concessions made in order to cater to an overseas audience, but giant kaiju fighting is pretty rad.

I’ll bet anything the whole capture a wight scheme doesn’t end up happening in any of the future books. Half-assed plot concocted by the show writers.

The Walking Dead (2010) S10 E21
booger 4 points 3 years ago.

Yawn! This is what happens when character development goes too far. I am not saying that it is bad when they make an episode with insights into a characters mental state(s). But they could have easily condensed this down to 10 minutes and used the rest of the time to move the story along and not give us another rehashing of the same ‘ol same ‘ol.

ezl88 2 points 3 years ago.

Agreed. However, I’m not even sure it qualifies as character development at this point, but rather character re-enforcing. Take Jerry out of the picture and this episode could slot into nearly any of the last 6 seasons.

The Walking Dead (2010) S10 E21
ezl88 1 points 3 years ago.

Ooh my favorite kind of TWD episode. After 10+ years on air, you really forget how much of a loner Carol and Daryl are, so sometimes there needs to be whole episodes dedicated to zero plot progression and just them complaining while doing mundane tasks. /sarcasm. AMC really milking it toward the end. The last season of GoT was sub-par, rushed writing, but at least it went out with a bang. Just 1 season left of TWD and we get cooking with Carol. Need to start reading comments first before wasting time watching new episodes.

Invincible (2021)
ezl88 4 points 3 years ago.

If you like The Boys then you’ll really dig Invincible. Amazon Video has hit gold again in their search for quality comic book media ripe for adaptation to television. Robert Kirkman, of The Walking Dead fame, is on-board along with both Ryan Ottley & Corey Walker who are responsible for the comic artwork. It’s uncommon to see the original creators of a book team-up later to tell their story through a new medium and as an animated the show, Invincible should closely follow the comics beat for beat. Invincible subverts and pokes fun at the stereotypical tropes found in superhero comics and offers a unique look at the mundanities and real world consequences of superhumans living in an otherwise normal world.

Kirkman seems to have fully taken advantage of the resources afforded to him by Amazon and stocked the cast with recognizable and quality voice talent. The comic ran from 2003 to 2018, so there is 15 years worth of fantastic source material available for adaptation to this series. “Invinci-heads” all over have been excited for this project since it was first rumored some 5 years ago and, personally, I’m very excited to see Invincible re-told in a medium where it can be appreciated by a new audience. The Walking Dead was the book that made me start reading comics, but Invincible is the book that made me fall in love and seek out other comics. Don’t let the animation fool you into thinking this is a show for children (as is evident from the first episode); you can expect adult themes, profanity, and gratuitous gore in all of its glory.

Invincible (2021) S1 E1
Ashtré 4 points 3 years ago.

This is as good as The Boys. And I love the animation style.

ezl88 2 points 3 years ago*.

If you like The Boys then you’ll really dig Invincible. Robert Kirkman is on-board and since it’s animated the show should closely follow the comics beat for beat. Similar to The Boys in the sense that it’s a superhero comic/show that deals with the mundanities of the concept and real world consequences in an otherwise normal world. Not to mention the gore and adult themes are on par with each other.

Ryan Ottley and Corey Walker are from the source comic book and both are on this project, so it’s bound to be visually exceptional in addition to exceptional storylines. The comic ran from 2003 to 2018, so there is 15 years worth of fantastic source material available for adaptation to the series.

Invincible (2021) S1 E1

Buckle up, kids. Kirkman is looking to make the best superhero comic in the universe the best show in the universe.

Is “WandaVision” THAT bad? I have yet to watch it and I have tried to remain Spoiler-free from all the reviews and “Fan Theories” about the series that I’ve seen online.

ezl88 1 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s bad, but it certainly isn’t good. The premise seems neat initially until you realize the entire purpose of the show is a glorified commercial for the next MCU movie. I love comics and enjoy the MCU movies, but couldn’t recommend WandaVision to anyone. As far as fan theories go, they’re more or less all BS. The story is adapted from the House of M comic arc, so it’s nothing new. Definitely recommend checking out that comic arc if you end up liking WandaVision.

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
ezl88 1 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

DC is the only one with comics that I’ll still read out of the two big companies, but the endeavor into film has been awful IMO. Can’t really say anything about the poor casting choices as this is essentially a re-do of the first version and used some of the same footage, but hopefully it gets better in the future. My biggest gripe is with the runtime, obviously. I’ve watched 3-4 hours movies before that were worthwhile and this just wasn’t worth the time, especially when there are so many slo-mo/bullettime scenes that you start to wonder if the movie would be substantially shorter without them. It’s not awful by any means, but it’s just not great.

Well it wasn’t good, but I suppose it wasn’t bad either. Pretty mediocre throughout and disappointing that it wasn’t funny. I feel like this would’ve been a hit had it come out in the 90s lol.
