Holko 9,530 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I loved it when I read it as a kid, it was a big shock to discover the first movie ends at its midpoint! It completely misrepresents and unbalances the core theme and point of the metanarrative: keeping your imagination and stories alive, but not getting lost in them. No wonder Ende was upset.

GerateWohl 4,371 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 By the way. I would have expected that there would be already a thread to discuss "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" or at least Henry Jackman's score. The first episode is available since about 36 hours, and no discussion going on? Or did I just miss it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,471 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 First ep of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier had a great action scene opening it, but after that it was a little boring. Henry Jackman's score is on the vein of his music for The Winter Soldier. He even brings back some of his themes from that score, like the WS theme, his Captain America theme and Falcon's theme. greenturnedblue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny, I felt the opposite. It did not get off to a great start with me. I was bored by that opening action scene, though I was quite impressed with the quality of the VFX. After that it really picked up for me and went in a lot of unexpected places. I agree with @Jules that it made me care about the characters in ways I had not quite gotten to in the film series.

mstrox 6,651 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Yeah, there’s really no reason to doubt this. Disney+ is only gaining subscribers and this is riding the coattails of the buzz and good will generated by WandaVision. Key word also is “series premiere.” What is it competing against at this point? Mainly just Mandalorian S1:E1 and WandaVision S1:E1. There’s a lot of stuff with somewhat more limited demographic appeal (High School Musical, Muppets Now, some travel shows, docuseries, and cartoons). I’d also take that “series premiere” qualifier to mean that Mando S2’s premiere likely topped it. 2 minutes ago, Jay said: Black Widow Delayed to July, Will Be Released on Disney Plus the Same Day It'll be $30 like Mulan and Raya This will be the third (hopefully last?) time we spend that money to watch a movie from home during the pandemic.

Jay 37,373 Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Raya looks cool, I look forward to seeing it when it's out of the $30 window and in my main Disney+ Black Widow I will hopefully see in the theater.

TSMefford 1,509 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Yeah, again, it was more of a general question that I thought of based on that. Not this specific example. 7 minutes ago, Jay said: Black Widow Delayed to July, Will Be Released on Disney Plus the Same Day It'll be $30 like Mulan and Raya Welp. Guess I won't be watching it until it's back on there for free with the home video release or I'm comfortable enough to go to a theater by July. I have not yet seen Onward, Mulan, or Raya yet because I'm not paying $30 to rent a digital streaming version of a movie and by the time they come out on Home Media I've forgotten about them.

mstrox 6,651 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Onward has been “free” to stream on Disney+ since the day it came out. Same as Soul and apparently same as Luca is going to be. Three original Pixar movies in a row! Bet if Pixar were releasing Cars 4 or Toy Story 5, they’d make ya shell out the $30. For us, $30 is less than what it would cost for 2 of us to see a movie (even more for kids movies where we’d pay for 3 of us), and that’s not even counting concessions which would take it up considerably. I wouldn’t do it regularly, but for stuff we’re excited about, I’ll pay the rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Florence Pugh's Black Widow character was supposed to be introduced in Black Widow then re-appear in Falcon & Winter Soldier, but will now be introduced in F&WS first.... The Eternals probably originally had a tease for Shang-Chi but now Shang-Chi is coming out before it.... And it looks like they were originally planning on having Wanda Vision come out just before Dr Strange 2 to literally lead directly into it, then just got it out the door first since it had more episodes filmed than Falcon before shutdowns... oi... IT's funny that Black Widow was originally supposed to kick off Phase 4 before any TV series started, and now it'll be the fourth entry after 3 TV series have finished!

HunterTech 994 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I actually found his unaltered AoU to be his strongest effort as a whole product, but I definitely feel IM3 and TDW have the stronger singular moments. Kind of like what I think of the Snyderverse scores, though those are definitely better than Tyler's general works. 16 hours ago, Jules said: The only ones I would put on the same level are maybe the first two Iron Mans. IM1 has like 4 good cues in it, but I honestly didn't mind IM2. Definitely the most underrated main theme of the MCU, which makes it quite unfortunate it's not utilized a bit more within the score itself.

crocodile 8,018 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Two episodes into The Falcon and The Winter Soldier...and it is actually pretty good. The first episode started the series in a somewhat muted note (not counting the opening) but in the second one things seem to pick up. It feels very much like The Winter Soldier and Civil War sequel and that can only be a good thing. Karol Raiders of the SoundtrArk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insiders say Crowe is one of many surprises to come out of the film, with Matt Damon also confirmed to reprise his cameo from Thor: Ragnarok. https://deadline.com/2021/03/thor-love-and-thunder-russell-crowe-1234723853/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
