Menor the Destroyer Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Enjoying it quite a bit so far and excited to see where this leads. Agree with the criticism that jokes could land better, but there's enough charm and mystery to keep me quite invested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menor the Destroyer Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Spoiler The eerie moments (boss choking, helicopter, radio, beekeeper) definitely were the highlight. The switch in tones worked really well, not sure exactly why but it really hit home for me. Seems that the tension is going to be a steady build, so episode 3 should have even more clues.

Daxtreme Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 I'm used to Hong Kong and South Korean movies that juggle tone like they're professional jugglers or something, so the tonal shifts are not only not jarring for me, but actually very, very welcome. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are people really making a big deal about a bunch of mildly uncomfortable scenes? It's not even much compared to even the tonal changes we've seen in previous superhero movies (specifically the Raimi Spider-man movies) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that is how me - with my limited English - am understanding it Edited January 16, 2021 by terrestrial 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I assume he's saying that because others are finding it jarring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really see how the shifts could be jarring either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmFincher Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I quite enjoyed this, though I am ready to get into more meaty stuff. There's only so much of recreating old sitcoms I can take, especially when the comedy is a bit hit and miss at times. Paul Bettany is incredible in this though, he's nailing the tone, I think he's hilarious in episode 2. Kathryn Hahn similarly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Freak Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) On 1/16/2021 at 2:12 AM, eddyxx said: Is this actually true cause I remember Feige announced back in 2019 after Endgame broke the WW record that Wandavision was tying into DS2 and I’m pretty sure that was before all the announcements about The Flash. Which is why I specifically said I think WandaVision wasn't originally conceived to kick off the multiverse saga. The original rumors floating around claimed that DS2 was about Doctor Strange training Wanda to control her powers, with the involvement of DS characters like Clea instead of Rachel McAdams' character and Mordo expected to have been the main villain. Wanda was apparently always meant to be a part of DS2, irrespective of whether or not WandaVision existed but maybe in a completely different capacity. The "Multiverse of Madness" title was announced more than half a year after Into the Spider-Verse had already come out, and then news of actors from previous franchises appearing in the Far From Home sequel/DS2 came after The Flash news. Charlie was asking what the plan for DS2 would've been if WandaVision or Disney Plus hadn't existed so I replied the original rumors for DS2 had been different. Elizabeth Olsen recently said the script for DS2 is still undergoing changes. Edited January 17, 2021 by Spidey Freak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webslinger Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I loved the first two episodes. Olsen and Bethany are both great in their efforts to channel their characters through the classic TV styles on display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daxtreme Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 Anyone knows when the reviewers get the ep 4-9 for review? I read that they'll get them eventually but no idea when Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK that will make it the most reviewed season of TV on RT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This says season 10 of The Walking Dead has 305 ratings, but is only showing 4. Idk what's up with that or what's accurate. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the_walking_dead/s10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie Jatinder Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I keep hearing there will be MCU fatigue this year, but just having one 25-35 minutes episode tomorrow feels really less and sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
