I nixed it just in case

thanks

Still haven't watched Infinity War. Maybe tomorrow.

Stupid Jay, stupid.

Every bit of positive development he had last episode plummeted with this one. Back to the drawing board at zero with you, Jay.

Speaking of, just got really high and ordered the $100 replica Gauntlet from Hasbro. Pretty excited now, but we'll see in about an hour and a half...

Ok, final thoughts on Black Panther.

That was a very good movie. But I think it suffered for some of the reasons that Doctor Strange did.

I loved the adventures of Black Panther in Korea. I loved the characters. There were so many strong characters that were a delight to watch. Okoye, Shuri... Nakia was alright. M'Baku was the man. Killmonger was a freaking delight. Such a damn good villain. And the soundtrack was amazing... like, this and Thor: Ragnarok are the first two movies where I REALLY feel like I just love and want to listen to the soundtrack (outside of GotG but those are all licensed songs). Oh, and the action was cool, the effects were cool, the tech was cool, Wakanda was cool, Bucky was cool, etc.

But I did not much care for the main plot.

Black Panther becomes king. Cool!
Black Panther hunts down the man who killed a lot of his people. Cool!
Black Panther gets challenged out of nowhere by his cousin who has been missing forever and just showed up and was like "wassup" and won and got thrown off a waterfall. Um...
Black Panther's herbs that give powers were burned but luckily one was returned to him so he could recover from mortal wounds and go back to fight. Eh....
Black Panther wins the fight, Bilbo gets to shoot down things in a jet, Okoye and crew all kick ass, but she kicks her lover's ass the most... some of this was pretty good!
Black Panther kills his cousin without getting a chance to develop him into a different kind of character. Eh...

This was the story they wanted to tell, and I think they did everything they could to tell that story in a terrific manner. I just wasn't the biggest fan of the story.

Rating this movie is pretty easy. Also, I decided on my Ragnarok placement - Hela just wasn't good enough to carry the movie above Winter Soldier. However, recency, general better humor, stakes, etc everything put it above Spooder Boy.

I plan to watch Infinity War, but I'm going to have a separate topic for it, so I can post my thoughts live. Don't want to have to make a new topic in the middle of the movie.

Get hyped!
---

Hyped!
---

Get hyped some more! It's coming up!
---

it's coming after HQ
---

Well, if you made a new topic, I guess this one sucks and is now about trains.

You know what's underrated

Okoye on top of the car

There's this high-angle shot of her from behind on top of the car aiming the spear with the dress billowing around that just makes her look so fucking effortlessly cool.
---

Oh I thought I managed to get a save in early but I guess not.

cant wait to see the look on your faces when you find out i was actually slycooper69 the whole time
---

every time Counter Strike comes up I always remember back in high school when a ton of guys used to go on the library computers at lunch time and play it.

they also did the same with Starcraft

like half the computers at lunch time were always used for CS, SC, and for a few days Tron
---

yes the hardcore match, indeed

Bravely Second originally came out five months before Undertale. >_>

Yes, I owe a final write-up of Infinity War.

But first, let's start Season 5 of Agents of SHIELD.

Time to find out the weirdness that happened to send the team into space.

This not-human man sure is boring to watch do things.

Oh, I guess this is Alien now.

Virgil is gonna die.

"We're in space." "That makes sense. It's the one thing we haven't done yet."

"You already quit years ago." "I didn't quit hard enough."

Ouch, May took a metal thing in the leg.

"SHIELD doesn't have a space division called SPEAR or something? I thought you had guys hiding on the moon."

Everyone has shown except for Daisy and The Doctor, Fitz.

Aaaaand Fitz I guess didn't get to make the trip.

OH SHIT VIRGIL DED

Yeah, this is Alien. Except with a woman who can move with superspeed and oh there's Daisy.

"Right?"

Helmet guy looks like Starlord. Oh, and he's stealthy too. Also kind of a dick.

Little does he know that, after Gamora died, Melinda May became the official strongest character in the MCU.

Oh but he won.

And now there are Kree.

Ohhhhh helmet guy is helping out the team. HELMET guy is the not-redshirt!

And his name is Deek.

Coulson just gave an order and Daisy superceded him. What a jerk.

Agents of SHIELD... has become Firefly.

Man, the team hasn't just transported in space, have they? They've transported through time, too.

But not through space. They're in orbit above Earth.

:O
---

Those first couple of S5 episodes were pretty funny what a shame it doesn't really drag it through
---

When can I read that?

Also, I had some stuff typed up for episode 2 but my page got hit with malware so I lost it.

I said "May is a leaf on the wind" and a bunch of other stuff but idk what else

Something about the Kree chick liking balls.

That's like all I remember.

Also, Daisy totally didn't destroy the Earth.
---

"This number keeps showing up... 616"

uggghhhh

"I'd rather not go where no one can hear you scream"

uggghhhh

Every time Yo-Yo runs fast, they play music reminiscent of the theme from the first Sam Raimi Spider-Man.

Tess kicks ass.

This Abby Inhuman girl is just Shadowcat.

10 bucks this radio in the Trawler is connecting to Fitz.

Oh dear. Simmons trained Shadowcat to kill a man in cold blood.

Woo, the scene from the end of Season 4 finally showed!

Are Roaches just the Outriders from Infinity War?

I gotta say, this season is doing pretty well so far, for me. It's like... Agents of SHIELD meets Firefly and Sliders. I'm into it.
---

And FINALLY Fitz shows up.
---

May got the pipe through the leg because Ming-na busted up her knee real bad and was going through physical therapy when S5 was filming.

I loved S5 overall but it's definitely one of the more divisive seasons.
---

Yeah I watched like 2 episodes of S5 and decided to shelve it for awhile since I wasn't digging it

It's still on the shelf

It helps to treat it as kinda a different show.

Time to find out what happened to Fitz.

Well, I guess he got arrested and now has to figure out what happened. He's a little loopy though.

OH SHIT IT'S HUNTER

"Nearly got married again... until the ninjas showed up."

Ah, the lighthouse in the future was a lighthouse in the past?

This was a fun episode that brought back old characters and had a military general shoot two folks and such.
---

Watching the pilot that Hunter hires crash and burn is the silliest meta reference in the show I think.
---

Next episode.

Framework Fitz is so good at being creepy and evil. I love how he proposed to Simmons without her being able to hear.

Also, the kid is obviously going to go through Terragenesis. And... yup.

Holy shit, Fitz is tossing so much shade on the other attendees of the auction. He's almost murderous. I love it.

Surprise, the kid named Flint can control rocks.

Awww Kasius's girlfriend is going to be made to die to Daisy.

Aww fuck no, they did not just kill Tess. This future world sucks.

"Alright you freaky blue bitch, let's do this."

Ok, Fitz and Simmons activating plan prison-break is badass as hell. Simmons just killed Kasius like it was no big deal. Fitz really screwed the pooch allowing Daisy to have her powers repressed, though. And the kiss and the marriage thing, yes <3

Also, Enoch is really growing on me.

I loved Enoch. He's so weirdly cool.

Oh right, you've heard the best theme in the show at this point.

Totally meant the furniture side =P, really love the cupboard answer.

Inviso posted...

Rockstar's completely right. Angela IS a privileged, spoiled little bitch, and the only reason she's still in the house is because she's hot, and Tyler hooked up with the "hot white people and Kaycee" alliance week one.

But hes not with haleigh

I finally finished AoS S4, and just in time to once again not read this topic as I fall behind in S5!

I also rank it below S3. One of my least favourite things in media is the heavy usage of dramatic irony, and we got that a hundred times over with the LMDs and the Framework versions of the characters. I spent half the season in a suspenseful thought of "when are these people going to figure it out so we can get on with it", and while some people like that, it's not my thing.

The first half with Ghost Rider and everything up to the introduction of LMD May to the audience was great, but everything after up until the last couple episodes was not so much.
---

I will need my third topic
---

bn
---

Eww, Fitz is pulling the gross silver thing out of Jemma's ear.

I thought Kasius was killed. Kinda disappointed. And his girlfriend seems pretty irate with him as well. So much so that she's willing to talk.

Alright, May on the surface time. I guess she doesn't have to survive for very long. It's Enoch! "Hello!"

Hoooooly shit Flint shot a spike of rock through that guy's eye. Man, I forgot how violent these new seasons are.

Are you talking about the dunnnn DUNNNNN dunnnn? It's pretty good.

xD Fitz took so much offense when they got upset with him for putting the SHIELD stuff on the third level.

There's a shot with Daisy and Coulson illuminated by blue light that makes them look like Kree.

Kasius killed his brother with a bayonet.
---

"Your dad was transmitting from an old radio tower, he'll be back soon"

No way. He's not making it back.

Shotgun axe is back! "Doesn't the axe make it harder to shoot?"

"Shotgun axe... I get it now!"

These flashbacks to a time that the main team doesn't know are pretty interesting. I'm wondering if they're changing the future/past though, or just fixing things before they go back.

Yo-yo turned all the roaches to dust just like Thanos.

Of course a bunch of survivors want to try to kill a team of super spies. Poor old lady Robin.

These flashbacks of May being super-mom are so sweet.

This is a really sad episode for only having old lady Robin for one episode.

But hey, at least Deek is still in the picture.

"We can save everyone. Just one question - who's Flint?"
---

Time for humans to revolt against the Kree.

I have a feeling the Gravitonium is going to be important in the end.

Ah, I get it now. Kasius isn't punishing the humans... he's just exterminating them because he's ready to leave.

Oh boy, more Gravitonium. We haven't seen this stuff since season 1, right?

This whole Tess being alive thing is kinda lame.

And now time for some zero-g combat between Sinara and Daisy!

Daisy kinda got her ass kicked, but predictably, Deke saved her.

But what a way to go... jump at Daisy, have her move a broken metal railway in the way so you impale yourself? Maybe that's even kinda lame. But hey, it worked.

And when Kasius hit the button... everyone screamed altogether, but all stopped at the same time as well. How silly.

Onto what I assume is the mid-season finale now.
---

And it starts with Kasius dealing with his dead girlfriend.

"Guns man! It's like cheating. You shouldn't give these to anyone unless they're a really good person." "You think there'd be a law." >_>

Does Kasius wear contacts? All Kree seem to have yellow eyes except for him. I don't remember his brother's eyes.

"It was almost nice knowing you" "You're a pain in my ass!" Awww DaisyxDeke.

Fitz decapitated three Kree and Simmons wasn't excited about it.

"I will expire... knowing I sent my friends home." Aww Enoch. "That's not good for the person flipping the switch, huh?" Awwwww Deke :(

Kasius just got shotgun axed!

... And Mack has to be confused with second Yo-yo.

Ughh I'm about out of time for today, but I need to find out if everyone made it back alright (oh they totally did who am I kidding).

Also, it's quaint that the future world is left with an Inhuman who can control rocks. Of course he can 'put it all back together'.

I want to watch one more episode. But should I?
---

That gun line was way to blatant imo.
---

Asshole general who killed her subordinates has a scene daughter. Who is a fan of Quake.

General Rick... Stoner? IT'S PATRICK WARBURTON! They must have spent a lot of budget on him.

Oh hey, another chromacon or whatever they're called. MORE MONOLITHS.

"An Asgardian spotted in the city"? Which one?

Title sprawl has the Earth back! But starting to crack?!?! Guess the rest of the season is going to be preventing the future...

DEKE

HE MUST'VE GOTTEN TRANSFERRED IN THE SMALL EXTRA PIECE OF MONOLITH

YES

Deke's first beer xD he hates it

Can't wait to see him try to have to pay for it all. "It's ok... I'm from the future."

Who is the lone person calling the Kree? Oh shit it's Piper, I KNEW she was a recurring character.

Oh dammit Piper.

And oh dammit, so that's how Yo-yo loses her arms. I guess it as too much to ask that it happened in the future with Kasius.

Oh and General Hale's daughter is a ninja.

And good bye Noah :(

who is this muscle man running. Creel? Yes, it is!

Man, past Earth is so weird. I'm missing future dystopia already.
---

Do you have time to talk about Lord and Savior LUMA?
---

Such a tough task to be longest reigning universal champ *eyeroll*

weaku I can beat you in scv at least one time out of 20

suck on that knowledge
---

Last time on Agents of SHIELD... Noah blew up.

And... Lash is now here? And there's a hole in space-time.

Oh... it's a FEAR dimension. *eyeroll* is this another halloween episode?

And I suppose Coulson is dying, too.

Oh hey, his greatest fear is Mike or something. Oh, just some junk about him being afraid to die. This is some pretty good digging in to Coulson's character.

IT'S THE REAL MIKE Deke went out and brought SHIELD back to SHIELD!

Just in time to save Coulson from fake Mike! And There's Lash. And there's roaches. Man, DeathlOk sure is good at flipping around and blasting fake things in the face.

Oh, and I guess they took the chance to bring back Hive for a second as well.

"Is Deathlok sticking around?" "No, he goes solo".

Wait... AWWW IS THIS A WEDDING SCENE. They're using the forest in the middle of the base too. Mack on his phone the whole time.

There was a cut to Jemma's face where Fitz looked down, but then cut right back to Fitz and his face was up.

WAIT WHAT THE FUCK DEKE JUST REVEALED THAT HE'S SIMMONS AND FITZ'S GRANDSON

we're gonna need a new topic

Thanos will return.
