Mason definitely brought the heat this episode! Dying at “50 Ways to Karate Chop Your Neck, brother”

[@doomstadt2371]

I was an illustration major, in school one of our teachers had actually worked on the Disney stamp collection. He showed us the literal hundreds of subtle, mostly unnoticeable revisions he was asked to do and it was absolutely crazy. Notes like "the eye is .001mm off" and such. So if they are like that towards their stamps, I cannot imagine what the FX people are going through for their big money projects.

[@hellfish2309]

While that might be true, the biggest trouble they dump on the post-production contractors and artists is poor planning, meaning they just assume any scene filmed anyway can accommodate any rendering they want added in and demand it to look good on preposterous deadlines

[@frankcooke1692]

Once we know how the sausage is made, I feel like all I'm thinking when I see big VFX is how tedious and miserable it must have been to animate. Rather than being impressed, the only emotional reaction it evokes is sadness. I get sort of sympathy pains and feel like I'VE been staring at a computer screen for 40 hours straight with cramped hand muscles.

[@BaithNa]

Most of the Phase 1 movies didn't feature well known characters and they didn't all do great in the box office but they came together in the Avengers and became mega stars. A big issue now is that they've introduced a bunch of characters and then haven't done anything with them for years. We also have no idea when they're going to pop up again. An Avengers movie to end Phase 4 would have done a lot to solidify these characters and give the MCU a sense of direction.

[@casualfanatic4217]

I think a good idea to kick off phase 4 would’ve been setting up the Midnight Suns. Every summer they’d have their normal superhero movie but Every Halloween they’d introduce a member of the MS (Moon Knight, Blade, Black Knight, Elsa Bloodstone and the Werewolf). Then have them come together in the Midnight Suns movie similar to Phase 1. This would both keep audience invested and build new characters that can be the pillars of the new saga.

The concept of sound only movies/tv shows has been around for awhile called Audio Dramas, and they are quite a fun experience.

[@BLAMO1973]

FYI: In the original "Secret War" limited series comic (the original 1980's version) I remember Kang was easily killed early on using an Ultron robot reprogrammed by Dr.Doom. It would be funny to see a similar event in the movies just to show how much of a bigger threat Doom represents.

[@baggybinny]

Prequel for Heat better be called PreHeat.

[@CrowTRobot]

People saying “the MCU just needs one project to be good” are missing the point. Broadly speaking- Loki S1, Shang-Chi, WV, Ms.Marvel, WF and guardians 3 were well received. But they were sandwiched between Eternals, Thor L/T, Quantumania and Secret Wars.

[@Luminousreign]

Only two of those actually did good(WF and Guardians 3), and only one of those was a critical and commercial succes(G3). Nobody actually watched the disney plus stuff, Shang-Chi was lowkey less succesfull than Spiderman 3 or Multiverse of madness, and only slightly more succesful than Black Widow. The people who think the MCU just needs one good project to turn things around are likely the same people who get their news from Disney adjacent sources who say everything is a critical and financial success regardless of the reality. Pretty much everything you listed is one of the primary examples of the wheels falling off.

[@ChrisSmith-tu9bu]

[@ungreatfulduck750]

If they had the time, they should have switched Jonathan Majors for Key Huy Quan. We already got the idea that the TVA is form not just from Kang but from him as well, his name already points at a never ending cycle, we saw Majors die in Episode 4 and in episode 5 Loki already controls himself a form of time/space travel that affects the entire timeline and his motivations are to save his friends... What if he in the final episode uses his new power to try and return to the moment he met with The One Who Remains in Season 1 but using all their friends temporal aura to teleported with him at that space/time exact moment, and when they reach there, instead of Jonathan Majors we find Key Huy Quan; he then explains that Loki manage to create a new timeline where HE´s Kang and build a more powerfull machine capable of handling more ramifications of the timeline, and that while some versions of him are indeed evil, others are not. So this time Sylvie doesn´t kill him, and while there are still new timeline branches, it´s more controlled and the TVA is there to control the ones that got way out of control. Show could even end with Loki meating The Watcher as he introduce him to the concept of the real multiverse (the one we know exist independant of Loki´s show or the TVA, since we already since other universes and both Spiderman and Doctor Strange gaves two other reasons for mayor timeline breaches). They could even get America Chavez to meet Loki this way in order to make either Young Avengers with Loki as their guide/legal tutor or just call it Loki´s New Avengers. Tom Hiddleston sounds like a more solid fundation for next phases than Doctor Strange or any particular super villain, which we already did with Thanos, we really don´t need yet another go at the same beats.

[@StewartFletcher]

@ungreatfulduck750 maybe the entire report is false. We don't know yet. That's why we have a Justice system. Majors is innocent until proven guilty, just like everyone else. Which means he's innocent right now. If he's going to be guilty, then we can discuss replacing him or writing him out. Until then, he's innocent.

[@videogamenostalgia]

It’s kind of awkward when the character’s entire gimmick is “it’s one actor playing all the versions of himself”, so I guess they’re waiting to see if he’s convicted of anything before going ahead with it.

[@CrossOutBryce]

Why would they make a decision before it's known if he's guilty or not? His character's WHOLE DEAL is that it's the same actor and face across every timeline.

@@Luminousreign He nailed it in oppenheimer. If he keeps getting more character driven roles for himself, (even if hes not the lead which hes willing to skip for the right director/script) he has no reason to go back. Its not like hes in need of money. Jude Law did something similar. He said he stopped letting his ppl pressure him into only starring roles, and hes had more fun and fulfillment playing characters that are 2nd or 3rd on the call sheet.

[@atheethmadhavan8547]

Please make that part of the intro from now on!!

[@NiallByrne]

Marvel’s problem atm is there is not really a core group of characters to focus on. They have Spider-Man and Dr Strange. But there is not really a interesting dynamic between the 2 like iron man , Cap and Thor had. It would have been so much easier to build up a new avengers style group with either The X men or the fantastic four. They need to build up a new proper core group of Marvel characters that can be the focus of a future avengers movies. The fantastic 4 would be a great choice while Professor Xavier is training a team of Xmen characters. They need that core group to focus and expand upon.

[@howiespancakeshack]

SPOILER FOR THE KILLER . Tilda 100% poisoned him. She is drinking poisoned whiskey. And Fassybendo takes the last swig. When he lets the billionaire live he threatens a slow poisoning - in the last frame of the film when Fassbender takes his glasses off, his eye twitches. He is dying. Take care.

[@dexterthielhelm4342]

I don't really get why Disney thinks "oh, the reason we are failing is because the characters/actors from movies people like aren't in it. If we put them in all our problems will go away". And this isn't with just Marvel. All the Disney live action remakes follow the same trend. They think just bringing back the characters they'll make a profit. The writing, directing, acting, effects, message/theme, character portrayal, etc don't seem to be taken into consideration, which is what MADE the characters the ones we love.

[@rinfinity930]

The fact that it felt like a slog listening to marvel talk for 40mins (from James & Mason who i love listening to), should be enough indicator of how people feel about marvel right now.

[@joeyc9418]

I think the big difference between a lot of multiverse stuff lately and invincible's multiverse storyline is that invincible's does not rely on nostalgia. The main thing is showing Mark as a bad guy and also a few fun settings and none of what was done in the books overstayed it's welcome. Also potential spoilers for the books and show..... The multiverse stuff is not a enormous plot line anyway and once Levy dies you never see it again.

[@gazl7356]

Glad you've covered the Blade issue

[@alfje5492]

Marvel is in "crisis", just like James Bond, Dr Who or any other long-running franchise is. There's little chance they'll be able to top Endgame, so instead they should just focus on less productions with better writing, finished FX, use Secret Wars to bring X-Men and FF in and then let them build up to the next big bad (Doom? Galactus?).

[@Luminousreign]

They can reinvent bond and Dr Who to match the current genre trends, but the super hero genre itself is burning out.

[@caulinwhitewater4118]

Mason mentioning Burn Notice every episode is fantastic.

[@garyking1986]

*SPOILERS FOR THE KILLER* I think he spared the guy at the end because he said he had no idea the agency would try and kill him. They just said they'd scrub the trail, and never mentioned killing the assassin. Because the guy genuinely meant him no harm, he lets him go. It's not really empathy or morality on the protagonists part, but him instead finally choosing not to take the business personally.

[@Shawn-ju9ck]

Heat 2 still in heat

[@SirAsdf]

I think my problem with Marvel now is that they feel like they're building towards like 5 different things at once, and it makes it feel hectic and hard to follow. So like, there's the New Avengers, Young Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Kang, the Thunderbolts. Phase 4 might as well have been completely filler because nothing fucking happened. It's like when a late stage DCEU movie came out and the post credit scene hinted at a plot line that had already been canceled.

[@BaithNa]

That's because they didn't know what they were building towards besides Secret Wars.

[@CrossOutBryce]

Phase 4 felt very much like Phase 1, where they where throwing darts to see what resonated with audiences. The problem is that half of general audiences were fatigued and the other were riding the high of Endgame, so they only want BIG events. Phase 5 should be where things start connecting, but so many real world problems have slowed that plan down.

[@SirAsdf]

​@CrossOutBryce Atleast Phase 1 had the Avengers movie to cap it off as a sort of disk one version of what Endgame would do. Phase 4 was just a bunch of different movies and series that felt like they weren't building towards anything and did nothing.

[@danwithah]

90% of Heat is brilliant

[@BaithNa]

They've always been planning to bring back RDJ for Armor Wars and Secret Wars. The new plan is probably to bring him and the OG Avengers back permanently in the rebooted MCU, post Secret Wars but in a more minor role so they can focus on the X-Men and Fantastic Four. Kang hasn't been working at all. He's a horrible and convoluted character in the comics, thats why he's rarely used and hasn't had any good events or even good comics based on him. Going with the multiverse and shoehorning Kang was the worst decision Feige ever made. In the MCU, Kang has been killed off in every appearance he's made. He's a joke and not a threat, especially when dog sized ants can destroy his suit and he can be killed by Wasp and Sylvie. Kang is over exposed and there's no reason to think that he'd be a danger to Thor or Captain Marvel. Secret Wars has always been about Doom so pivoting to Doom makes sense. They still have 4 to 5 years before Secret Wars, about a year less than they had to build up Thanos so they can definitely build up Doom in that time and salvage the multiverse saga.

[@BaronVonHardcharger]

So much of the last phase makes more sense with Doom and Fantastic Four in play. Well said.

[@sirdaveysockrocker]

Why would marvel pivot their multibillion dollar franchise for one guy? Just recast Jonathan Majors and be done.

[@CrossOutBryce]

YES. Because his character literally is at the center of this entire saga. He's a dude that has millions of versions that ALL LOOK THE SAME. To recast would mess up everything that came before.

[@sirdaveysockrocker]

@@CrossOutBryce​​⁠​⁠ SEE, this is the problem right here. Pretending that moviegoers are so stupid that a recast would break their brains. 🤯 It’s just a different actor playing the same character, & moving forward, all the set dressing looks like the new actor. 🤷‍♂️ When they had to recast dumbledore, they ALSO replaced portraits of dumbledore in subsequent films to look like the new actor. I’m shocked at how many grown adults are like, “DURR rEcASTing wiL conFuze Me! 🥴”

[@GothamClive]

@@sirdaveysockrocker I still don't understand why James Bond stopped looking like Sean Connery. That ruined the whole franchise. ;) And even if people, in general, would have a problem with recasts, just go the Iron Lad or Immortus route and recast him with somebody much younger or older. The Loki show has established that he could be replaced by an alligator. Some "fans" have a very negative attitude.

[@GothamClive]

@@CrossOutBryce All caps don't make things correct. The comics had him as a woman in the 80s (part of the Council of Kangs). There are also significantly older or younger versions of him (Iron Lad and Immortus) The Loki show has established that he could also be a woman or an alligator. In the after-credit scene of Quantumania, we have seen alien-Kangs. Characters have already been recast in the MCU. Have you ever heard of a character called James Bond? Also not always the same actor.

[@YakBat]

The only thing I am unhappy so far with the Fall Guy trailer is that they didn't update the theme song.

[@gelfie2208]

I think the other people he killed had a direct connection to his wife being attacked. His boss ordered it, the secretary facilitated it, the brute and Tilda Swinton carried it out, and he mentions in his monologue that the taxi driver was the one that bought death to his door. Meanwhile, the client is just the guy what wanted someone dead. I think that final confrontation was "Did you request all this shit" and he believed the guy when he said "They just said they'd cover my ass for $150k..." Which is why he let him live. This movie is Man on Fire without the pace and if Creasy was not squeaky clean from the outset. It was too long, and a bit boring. But I liked how every time he ran through his mantra of "Expect, don't improvise" it was a guarantee that shit was going to go sideways and he'd be doing nothing but improvising. He was not as good as he thought he was.

[@AJeziorski1967]

This is like the fourth video reviewing ‘The Killer’ that I’ve watched and nobody is talking about the ambiguous, Sopranos-like ending? Weird … [SPOILERS AHEAD] I mean, it’s actually not even that ambiguous. You see him back at his luxury house in the Dominican Republic after sparing the billionaire’s life. He gives his girlfriend a drink and lays down on a sun bed next to her, camera focuses on the side of his face, his eye twitches, followed by an immediate cut to black. I mean, he just got murdered, didn’t he? Then as if to hammer the point home, we get a Smiths song playing over the credits with the repeated lyrics “To die by your side, oh, the pleasure, the privilege is mine”. Seems like a fairly crucial plot point to me - he gets his come-uppance because he decided to spare that one guy who obviously then hired someone else to track him down. As for why he decides to spare the billionaire, he does say that you have to be extra careful with rich guys, because the police effort to solve a murder is directly proportional to the wealth of the victim. I also just get the feeling that maybe he just didn’t want any more blood on his hands.
