3 episodes into Spider-Noir - it's cool and all, but I'm not really feeling the identity of the characters, y'know?
Flint is made of sand, but aside from that he could be just an OC. The setting isn't informing these new takes so much either, imo.
Robbie's okay, I like Robbie.
@Lazarus0024 She's a fine enough character so far, but I do find myself waiting for her to do something that feels like 'Black Cat' rather than 'Lounge Singer in a Noir Story'
I've had 0 hype for the Supergirl movie but I watched Cruella recently and it kind of kicked ass, so Craig Gillespie might just have the sauce to pull it off.
but that's all ignoring the more important problem which is that the 'One Batch, Two Batch' book had a distinctly narrower margin in its first appearance.
re: that shot from Punisher - they'll probably release the bts and show it was an actual stunt, but some people will claim that's AI.
I do actually think it was just the head that they replaced (a common MCU thing). What makes it extra uncanny imo is the fake camera shake.
I feel like a lot of superhero discussions would benefit from a better distinction between characters having a 'no kill' rule versus having a 'no murder' rule.
@twitchystitch yeah, I had it on the mind specifically from hearing some discussions around the Daredevil show, and whether he breaks his 'code' at earlier points in the original series.
Wonder if the show had very explicitly said "I kill in battle, I just don't murder." how things would be🧐
@SeanWhitmore That's what I'd assume, yeah. But I feel sometimes the arguments overlap that with 'killing in self-defense breaks the no-kill rule.' without that distinction.
which is an interesting conundrum for certain characters tbf
