Legion is run by Marvel television (I believe), but yeah, while I'm certainly excited to see what Feige does with the X-Men, I really doubt Marvel will ever create a movie as good as Logan or The Dark Knight. Daredevil, Jessica Jones season 1 and Punisher are definitely up there, but the MCU so far hasn't reached those heights for me.

Logan tho.

I feel like Dark Phoenix will annoy me the least. Plus, Fassbender and Mcavoy. 

So excited for this.

Loki, Scarlet Witch & Other Marvel Characters Will Get Their Own TV Series On Disney Streaming Service!

Some huge Marvel news here, as it's been announced that Disney's upcoming streaming service will feature new limited series centered around the likes of Loki (Tom Hiddleston) & Scarlet Witch (Liz Olsen).

According to Variety, Disney is developing several new limited series for its upcoming streaming service that'll focus on various characters from The Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Scarlet Witch and Loki. 

 

And yes, Elizabeth Olsen and Tom Hiddleston are expected to reprise their respective roles!

Apparently, the idea is to give the spotlight to MCU characters that have yet to - and presumably won't - be the focus of their own standalone movies. The budgets for the shows weren't revealed, but they are expected to be "hefty," rivaling those of a major studio productions.

The trade also reports that Marvel Studios will retain creative control, with Kevin Feige heavily involved with the series' development. Unfortunately, none of the other heroes and villains that'll feature are named here, but perhaps we'll find out more once Disney/Marvel makes this massive news official.

In the meantime, be sure to let us know which characters you'd most like to see get the spotlight in the comments down below.

Yeah, apparently they're going for a man desperate to prove himself/Taxi Driver vibe. The fact that Scorsese is producing further indicates this, I just hope it's not too derivative. If not, it could really be what I've been calling out for DC to do for a while now. Forget about the Extended Universe stuff, leave that to Marvel and concentrate on smaller, lower budget, but more intellectually challenging films in the mould of Logan. 

God damn it Stilly! I've had it up to here with your shit. 

I'm still trying to find the strength to finish season 2 of Jessica Jones, (what a drop in quality that was from season 1) Luke Cage was soured by the latter half of its first season and Iron Fist was extremely average, so it's with trepidation I'm eyeing their respective second seasons, but Christ, it's good to feel excited about a Netflix show again (obviously goes without saying Punisher was amazing). 

That's really bizarre, it's not as if they're generally against skimpy clothes. One look at the short skirts most women wear illustrates that.

Am I missing something? How is that Serena Williams one even controversial?

Ross...please. Sorry about him guys 

FIFA 19

@Choose Life and I (and our other brothers) played the absolute shit out of Streets of Rage back in the day. Without exaggeration we must have completed it over 500 times. That said, while I'm really excited about this, this feels very SoR 2 (and I assume 3) in that it's less grounded the original. I loved the grittiness of the first game, which this seems to be lacking. I'm still looking forward to it, but I'd have loved something more in line with the original. 

P.s. Fantastic cosplay (as always).

I like the art style, but that's about it unfortunately. I was very underwhelmed, it's basically a very poorly mishandled cross between Adventure Time and Futurama. 

I'm on the bus into Limerick at the moment, so I can't write any essays. Just wanted to say Stilly has quashed my fears. I'm on board with this now. 

Also, now that I feel assured I can,  I'll start a separate thread on Jordan Peterson so we can debate this proper.

By and large, I agree, but Jumbie raised a lot of my issues. Essentially how these terms are defined, and whether you can have an unpopular/controversial opinion without being told to stop posting/thinking that. For example, the fact that I think you have Jordan Peterson completely wrong, or that there are only two genders? I really don't see how that's transphobic. There is male to female trans and female to male trans, and I completely support them in their struggle for acceptance. That's still just two genders though, right?

I'm team Netflix and use terrarium for what I can't get on Netflix. 

Never heard of terrarium, what is it?

I have Netflix, WWE Network and Amazon, but Prime is the main reason for that. 

I'd consider Disney if they have like every classic movie they own, not just kids movies.

I'm salivating. I'll have to take a months holiday when this drops.

I'm three episodes in and loving it. I've described it as a cross between Lynch and Wes Anderson, it has be the most beautiful looking series I've ever seen. 

Popular movies, oh my fucking God. What condescending bullshit. Now I'm not saying that there have been a lot of blockbusters that would have been in the running, but there has certainly been a few, and now they'll never get that chance.

Yeah, it was the first three.

Damn. That's sad to hear. I never really watched either Andromeda or American Dad, so I can't agree or disagree with you there. However, I really like Orville for what it is--an unabashed love letter to ST:TNG with humor thrown in. And Panch is right, I found the more I watched the more I liked the show. 

I'll be honest, I've only seen a bit of one episode ever of Andromeda, but it's easily the worst of the TNG ripoffs.

Ye both say it gets better, okay, I'll give it one more shot. If I'm to watch one episode that represents it at its best, what should I watch?

I struggled through three episodes, but couldn't take anymore. I am stunned at the acclaim it has attained here, especially from you Haku. You think this is similar to TNG? It feels more like a cross between Andromeda and American Dad.

And I went in fully expecting to love it, but it disappointed on every level. It was exactly what it looked in the trailers, average comedy and worse drama. 

Well, back to rewatching DS9 I go. 

I didn't see that one. Yeah, that's...not good.
