So, for now at least, Majors is still playing Kang.
Although this trailer definitely downplays his presence. They can still switch him out with a variant played by another actor at any time I guess.
Prediction: this will feature Majors in a capacity reduced by post-production editing and fill in reshoots with a new actor as the most dominant Kang variant who will carry through to the Phase 5 projects.
Or they use the series to do some kind of timeline restart that among other things changes the face of Kang. They could also use this to erase some inconsistencies between the Netflix series like Daredevil, the ABC series like Agents of SHIELD and the mainline MCU. I also wonder if the “timestepping” is inspired by or even related to the glitching in Into/Across the Spiderverse, it looks remarkably similar.
With the general Marvel burnout as high as it is, I’ll be amazed if this does well and we see a season 3.
I personally used to be the biggest marvel fan there was, and now you couldn’t pay me money to watch these terrible shows and movies.
Its still better quality on the writing than the average comicbook story. And I still enjoyed the comics. So doubt I gonna tire of it before its so unpopular with the average person that Marvel can’t afford making them any longer.
I think the majority of “Marvel burnout”, for me at least, is on Marvel’s side. I still want to enjoy Marvel’s releases, it’s just that their quality has dropped so much that I can’t do that right now. And it’s something Marvel has acknowledged, so it’s something they’ll likely improve on in future projects that haven’t entered production yet, at least.
But yeah, I’m personally still in the “I want more good MCU” camp.
I was never a marvel fan, i always thought their movies were ok 7/10(with the exception of guardians and thor 3). But i enjoyed loki season 1 and this season 2 trailer looks good and interesting.
In comparison i thought the latest ant man was almost ai written, full of cringe inducing cliches. Definitely one of the most mediocre movies of all time.
I just canceled my D+ subscription after Secret Invasion, it was that bad for me. I really liked Loki season 1, warts and all and I’m on the fence about signing back up again just for s2, but after that travesty of a show that was Secret Invasion and the string of other bad Marvel shows that Disney has been shoveling out, I’ll probably sit this one out til the reviews come in.
It’s not that I’m burned out on Marvel or Star Wars, I’m just burned out on bad, predictable writing. I feel like Andor really opened my eyes to what we could be getting, but we’re not. Everytime I watch a Marvel or Star Wars show now I compare it to that and Secret Invasion just made me cringe the entire time. Everything felt so bad, things just happen for no reason, characters do things that make no sense because the writer needed them to do a thing, and the entire plot is just sort of this non-sensical mishmash of half-thought out ideas.
Loki season 1 is still my favorite of the TV shows, so I’m excited to for this season 2.
No “Marvel burnout” for me. I don’t watch all of them. LOL But the first season I enjoyed so I’m hoping this will be just as enjoyable.
I don’t have burn out either and I watch all the movies and shows, hell even play the games lol this shit looks dope as fuck and I’m excited for it.
I do watch all of them and I’m not burnt out, but I’ve been disappointed recently.
I think the arrival of Disney+ and their push for content is what’s hurt Marvel’s quality. Hopefully with Disney’s pullback on that they can take their time with them more.
I’d like Disney to take more of a “if you have a story for a show, you have a home for it,” approach rather than the, “we need you to make this many shows,” approach they’ve been using. Fingers crossed.
I am really excited for this. Loved Loki S1, and the general feeling of “what the heck is going to happen” I got watching it with friends for the first time.
