No one expected this to be so Christmassy. Like Die Hard, but without the super powers.
Lert likey.
At least they have a gimmick.Pfff, bows.
Correct.So...she's not related to Clint in the MCU then?
Hailee Steinfeld. Best known in the nerd fandom as that girl in Bumblebee.I don't recognize the face.
Correct.So, it's Kate Bishop then?
They have introduced almost every single member of that team. Seems like a rumor with legs.I guess the rumours of Young Avengers must have some substance to them then.
The strange reason why I am already liking this show better than other Disney+ shows? Hawkguy isn't the main character.I really appreciate how Kate is a talented amateur who despite her well-developed skillset fucks up all the time because she's superduper new at this. Feels rather refreshing from the deluge of insta-competent girlboss characters, like Skye in Agents of SHIELD who needed like a week betweens Season 1 and 2 to become a Black Widow-level Super Agent.
I think that Marvel Studios wasn't sure what they were going to do with the Netflix shows until they recently made a decision. The story seemed to change partway through production. Partially Covid-related, but all the delays meant that Marvel gained control over those shows, so now they could do things they were looking to do in future projects.As mentioned on SB, it really feels like Kingpin was written and inserted at the last moment, hence why Clint never directly interacts with him and even him saying the line seems ADR'd.
Disney and Marvel Comics who controlled the TV division until now and why we've yet to get a good Marvel cartoon for the last few years, are at odds with each other. In some articles they treat it like a mob war, with the Comics referred to as 'New York'.Seems funny that they have decided to continue using the Netflix shows, but Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is being shoved to the side despite it being made by (the TV side of) Marvel Studios. I also expect us to never hear of the Inhumans again. They have mutants back to play with, so they will likely go down that route in the future. Which would be funny to watch a bunch of mutants-turned-Inhuman characters (due to the Fox friction over the years) being reverted to mutants again.
Well in personality not much, but he runs a street gang of incompetent simpletons which seems like a massive downgrade to his old Kingpin status and is now explicitly superhuman like ripping off a car door with one hand, and is unaffected by arrows to the chest, an accelerating car ramming him through a store window and then getting blown up without suffering any serious injury except a little sore and tired.So I've heard d'onofrio's Kingpin in this is pretty much a different kingpin from daredevil!? Any truth to that ?
