Menor the Destroyer

I have a soft spot for these types of episodes so this is one of my favorites of the season. Nice character work, fun action, advances the larger plot as well, good vibes all around.

Looks pretty neat.

I mean technically anything can get good walkups, but Afterlife wasn't anything impressive and demographically Ghostbusters doesn't really fit with the type of film to get good walkups, I don't see any particular reason for this to be an exception.

Another solid couple of episodes, Crosshair being back with the squad is so refreshing. This season is definitely much more cohesive but I do miss the more episodic/varied nature of the previous seasons a bit. Do enjoy that this first half of the season has set up a ton of stuff that's gonna make the back half a hell of a payoff.

Turning Giant

Yeah I liked this episode quite a bit. Like the final season of Rebels, this definitely feels like the most cohesive season so far thematically and emotionally.

Missed commenting in the thread but loved this episode as well, it's been a great start to the season so far. To your comments in the spoiler box

Obviously the fact that those are two different movies. That was a solo Godzilla movie with the other monsters being ones that audiences don't care about and this is a crossover with both Godzilla and Kong.

Using GvK's box office as evidence for anything is absurd, it's performance was great considering the conditions and would have been way higher in a normal release. I believe in Australia which was open at the time it opened higher than KOTM full run.

It's meh. Although the choreography could have been better, visuals and action are pretty good when the show isn't hamstringing itself with slowmo, which made episode 8 my favorite by default due to the Koizilla (glorious). The show does a pretty good job of capturing the feel of the original and at least is making a good faith attempt to stick to the original story and respect the world. ire Nation characters were mostly good as well, but Iroh and Azula do feel off. But the biggest crime here is the rushed character development for the Gaang, who barely even feel like friends. This is just compounded by heaps of bad expository dialogue and the baffling decision to split them up for much of the show. Katara in particular doesn't even feel like the same character, and Aang is pretty far off as well (in this version he doesn't even run from being the Avatar, getting caught in the storm was purely a freak accident). Sokka is elevated by his actor, but doesn't really bond with the others as he should, and Appa and Momo feel like props. Some side characters (Kyoshi and Bumi especially) were handled oddly and the Spirit World in general was done really poorly, surprisingly so since the show was fairly respectful of the original's lore and world in other ways. The score was also very unmemorable and didn't use the original themes as much as it should have.

Oh man I still haven't finished my rewatch (on "Truth and Consequences" rn. Gonna be painful avoiding spoilers until I can.

The fact that Godzilla can star in something like Minus One and something like this is a testament to the enduring greatness of the character, a true cinematic icon.

Looks really fun, glad to see them continuing the vibe of GvK

HummingLemon is Legion's strongest soldier lmao, nearly every post gassing him up. (In this case correctly so though as GOTG3 did open quite poorly)

I think these are a bit better than what I remember of the reactions from this same niche to S2, and I loved S2.

Probably will get just about a million on the Marvel channel in the end with maybe 700-800k from Reynolds channel, maybe the equivalent of 1.3mish if it was one main channel?

Who thought the Marvels would make 85M after day 1 of PS??? It was obviously not going close to that.

"Clearly" wrong? Aquaman 2 had an awful first day, having slightly more D1 presales with the benefit of a Valentine's Day opening isn't much of an accomplishment.

Is the ROTB comp previews+EA?

Guardians 3 was loved by audiences everywhere...

Who's asking for a safe space now? The irony of this comment is insane.

What would be the point in staying? Making fun of them for...posting in a public thread. Incredible.

Yeah honestly I think Anakin was pretty much essential for the series and honestly I could have used a little more of him (perhaps in visions) to tease out Ahsoka's motivations more. My main issue with the series was how the characters remained kinda opaque and action was prioritized over more material digging into them, which was odd considering how Rebels was far more willing to let its crew shine.

Yeah, rewatched Rebels S1 recently and while it gets a lot of flak from certain corners of the fanbase for being too kid-friendly and whatnot I think it's just a much better season than Ahsoka structurally. Maybe Filoni just isn't comfortable writing for 8 longer live-action episodes compared to 15-20 shorter animated ones.

Not so obvious to me. Agents of Shield S2-S5 easily clears anything that Disney+ MCU has done for me.
