Yes blanks can absolutely kill someone when fired at point blank range. However Brandon Lee wasn't killed by a blank. He was killed when a blank sent the head of a bullet that was lodged in the barrel of the gun they were using on set into his spine.

Black Widow | July 9 2021 | ScarJo secures the bag from Disney
Horner replied to Kalo's topic in Box Office Discussion
Yeah I don't much care for her but I can give credit where credit is due. She knows how to cultivate a following. And I'm seeing shades of what she was talking about echoed with these guys. Namely the dipping of toes into the unpopular end of the pool. My read on reactions like that is that Black Widow may end up suffering from being pushed back in amongst all of the Marvel streamed shows which have the luxury of time to marinate a bit longer and develop their characters in ways a single movie can't. The D+ shows have changed some expectations but under the original plan that wouldn't have happened until after Black Widow. -
Yeah I agree. If you're going to plant your flag on a point of creative contention which makes the most sense; Ahsoka Tano, after a period of tutelage under Anakin Skywalker, goes on to become a formidable warrior or Darth Maul, after being cut in half in the in the cinema classic The Phantom Menace gets some new legs via force voodoo and proceeds to wreck all comers? I know where I'd land and it's not on Campea Island.

I know Derrickson made it known that Nightmare was a villain he wanted to play around with but is there anything indicating he's going to be the big bad beyond that? (I haven't followed the rumors on this one very closely, just caught a few set pics from WandaVision). Maybe one of the creative differences he backed out over was Marvel trying to tie Wanda back to the entity from her comic book origin; ie. Chthon.

There's the obvious mashup of the two characters' names. Also the premise of the show is apparently based on Wanda creating a pocket reality where she and Vision live an idyllic American middle class life that mirrors classic television shows from the late 50's/early 60's. Maybe she watches old re-runs as a means of escape, I dunno.

The Mandalorian | March 2023 for S3

The problem is what adjustments can they make to increase it's appeal in emerging markets that won't alienate a sizeable chunk of the fanbsase in it's traditional footprint that is resistant to sweeping changes in the franchise. I think The Old Republic is probably the best approach to that. A lot of fans are begging for it and it would provide a good opportunity for some broader changes to the visual palette and a narrative dynamic other than "the beleaguered underdog vs the oppressive super power".

I'd agree that it is, yes. But it's also operating in a relatively empty space left in the wake of one of the more iconic comic books runs. It's a musing on what could have happened afterwards (and a damn good one at that). The MCU is still running on a mishmash formula built on existing source material because there's just so much of it left untapped.

She's courting the Snyder Cut hopefuls. Once you realize she's one of those people who is so deep into Twitter that it skews all of her viewpoints many of her takes and "information" start to ... well, make more sense at least. It trended so she'll see how many subs she can mine from that particular pocket of disaffected fans.

The Boys: Amazon Prime SuperHero series.
Horner replied to AndyK's topic in Streaming, TV Series, & VOD Movies
The Deep's arc is one of the most quietly impressive things about this show. They set him up as a real d-bag then manage to make him sympathetic without going all the way to really any sort of redemption. It was an expertly threaded needle.
