I disagree, he was caught spewing false information on quite a few occasions. He'd just argue against anyone who didn't like what he did, it got super annoying.I'd vote for manabyte to be reinstated. I forget what he did to earn the ban but in threads like this he was invaluable.
Wait, they're not the same person?

I don't know who the fuck Scott Lang is. If he did crime for fun, then fuck him too, and Loki, or whoever killed people.That's not an argument. And it's a pretty basic tactic to falsely characterize someone as livid if you don't have an actual argument against what they're saying.
Well, Scott Lang, who had a master's degree in electrical engineering, didn't need to do crime either, yet he did, multiple times. In fact, (referring to your claim Riri did not fact check Robbins on the places they were stealing from) he agrees to rob Darren Cross entirely on the word of Hank Pym, it's only when captured during the heist itself does Darren reveal he intends to sell his creation to HYDRA. So why is he allowed a redemption arc and she isn't? Especially when his redemption arc is literally him doing crime.
She flat out confronts Robbins after the first heist. Then, after Rampage, she began taking steps to finding out what is going on with Robbins' hood. Why are you acting like none of this happened?

Understanding Booby Traps: Uses in War and Property Defense – MIRA Safety
Explore the fascinating world of booby traps, their historical use in warfare, and modern applications for property defense. Learn how these traps can safeguard your home.www.mirasafety.com
Now, that carbon dioxide trap, you know, the one that suffocated someone to death? Was that a fantasy, or a blatant violation of U.S. law? At the least, the owner is guilty of not only illegally endangering intruders but also his own security team, but at worst the security detail is aware of this illegal setup and chose to not turn their employer in.
I never said she was robbing them for insurance policies, what are you even saying?
I am not making this up, it's flat out the early plot of Wakanda Forever. The US government obtains her own invention from college and gives her zero credit, financial payment, anything for it and then they proceed to use it to find vibranium but are attacked by Namor's forces.
That is NOT a counter-argument. Address the comparison or admit you don't have a counter-argument to it, please. Simply saying something is the "worst" accomplishes nothing on your part.
Riri hasn't killed anyone except a guy, her own teammate, who tried to kill her, and she didn't even do that, the AI took control of her suit and left the guy to suffocate. When Robbins announces their second heist, she questions their methods. She begins looking into Robbins' hood. These are things that happened.
Oh, stealing and fraud? Again, Scott Lang. You remember him, right? He never needed to do that either. Yet did you want him to succeed even after he did it multiple times?
Also, you don't want Riri to succeed? Strange, as the show is pretty blatantly obvious heading for her confronting and fighting Robbins, I would have thought you would want to see the guy who has actually killed people to pay for his actions.
So basically:
-Tony Stark fails to keep a proper eye on where his arms sales goes and they end up in the hands of terrorists who hurt and kill innocent people
-Thor risks kickstarting a war between two realms that would have cost countless lives on both sides (something the rulers of BOTH realms being up, and Thor's own father sadly banishes his own son for his actions over this, you cannot minimize how awful the thing Thor did)
-most of the Guardians of the Galaxy engaged in theft and killing before they became a team, Nebula willingly worked for Ronan and his genocidal plan, and Mantis looked the other way as Ego killed untold numbers of his own children when they failed to display inherited powers until she meets the Guardians
-Scott Lang continually commits crime, even commits one with Hank Pym solely on his word, and also supports then-fugitive Steve Rogers, again, entirely on his word, even though he does not need to
-Stephen Strange, at the start of his first movie, engaged in extremely reckless driving, exceeding speed limits by likely at least 40 MPH, which could have resulted in the death of anyone he collided with, including potentially a (or multiple) child or a baby. And mind you, he's a surgeon, and should be fully aware of how insanely dangerous his driving was and could have ended up for someone else
-Frank Castle, come on, I mean, you were uninformed on one aspect of U.S. law in terms of civilians using lethal security traps, but I would hope that The Punisher's methods of all things should be clear why they break so many U.S. laws
-Loki, um, how did Natasha put it?

So explain to me why all these characters deserve a chance at redemption, or at least in your eyes aren't a "repugnant and crusty bitch", but Riri Williams doesn't, no matter what she does, apparently?
Haha! Take that vile grifter! Have at you!

DC squandered all their potential with their previous 'cinematic universe' and now there's superhero fatigue. It's only going to get worse from here on outJames Gunn's Superman is coming up. Marvel used to be winning versus DC.
Guess it be nice to be DC's turn to be top. Bring on the Green Lanturn and good Flash movies
Haven't gotten to them yet. Still need to watch them, as well as spend more time wondering if it's worth wasting my time responding to someone (not you, of course) who acted like they seemed fairly knowledgeable about the MCU but then just openly admitted they haven't seen any of the three Ant-man movies, Captain America: Civil War, or Avengers: Endgame given their lack of familiarity with a major player in four of those films (and a decent role in Civil War). Oh, and evidence suggests they did not actually see Black Panther 2 despite acting like they had earlier. Oh, and also flat out yelling at me because they can't be bothered to take the mere seconds it would require to Google "Scott Lang".
And especially egregious: lazily trying to dismiss closer analysis of prior MCU entries with a "it's superhero movies, it's not realistic, it's silly" despite in their very same post and prior post they nitpick the "realism" of Ironheart.

The only thing DC has going for it (as far as films on the silver screen go) is Batman. Don't think people care for Superman any more.

It's not the best, it's not the worst.I am not u understanding anything in this thread. But I have a question. Is it worth wasting time and watch it?

does that mean it lands on its head and dies pitifully, that would stick it for me

My thoughts so far:
1) I grew up Chicago hood and this depiction is cringe af, especially the fake accents that several of the actors are trying to put on.
2) Riri is extremely boring and while I see they are trying to develop her complexity into something by way of learning lessons, she is supposed to be a genius yet her mindset is like a child. Ultra lame character. If you are actually from Chicago hood you are way smarter than that.
3) The little crime crew is outright embarrassingly terrible and the suspension of disbelief over their victories is impossible.
4) Natalie is a joy. Holy shit why is this girl not the main? Too bad they wasted her on an AI so she can't take on a spinoff series. Sign her up for something else tho because we found a star.
And you can find, yet somehow you "conveniently" didn't, one sentence reviews for it that give it 1 star.

Ok, this one is actually funny.
Unfortunately I think this is true for ALL 5 star reviews, no matter the product.I'll be honest, those 5 star reviews look like they were pumped out by a bot, especially that bottom one.
Do you know what a problem AI is for schools? These days a normal fan may well lack the wherewithal to write their own 5 star review and ask AI to do it for them.I'll be honest, those 5 star reviews look like they were pumped out by a bot, especially that bottom one.
I'm trying… I'm halfway through E4 and Riri is just so bad… they really couldn't find someone better?If you liked Natalie, keep watching
Overall I liked it.
Though yet another ending that may never get followed up on considering the reception and the long time between filming and release.

i stil need to see it i need to do a Marathon sometime only saw 1/2 and that was long agoI would watch this again over Iron Heart first watch.
It has its moments, but because no Weller, or Verhoeven? It falls flat, but at least it has a decent ending.i stil need to see it i need to do a Marathon sometime only saw 1/2 and that was long ago
Still don't think Riri did much growing overall other than going from running to fighting. Still made lots of stupid decisions without thinking of the consequences, so not that different than when she started.
This show is so fucking bipolar! Like at least if it was trash I could say it's trash and that's it but the last episodes run rings around the first batch. I'm almost annoyed at how there's some really good stuff here, mainly by finally having Mephisto enter the MCU and motherfucking Sacha Baron Cohen playing him, that is such good casting and he just oozes charm in the role and the bittersweet ending of him actually winning? Zelma and the witch/wizard/magic stuff was also a lot fucking better and more interesting than the fucking Saints Row Reboot heist gang in the first half.
Is Riri supposed to be autistic or something cause bitch, you're a genius but you're making stupid choices, the first half of this series is pretty damn bad, terrible even, with that woke heist gang thing but once they were sidelined and the other elements were introduced it actually became decent in most parts to pretty damn good with the Mephisto scenes. I'm not sure how they could've done this because it clearly does imply that Ririr IS a bad guy at the start for working with that crew, it's like we HAD to suffer the shit stuff to get the good scraps.
Music was on point though, some real jams in this.
Mother fucking Mephisto! Sacha Baron Cohen! That just works! And yet people have to endure the scooby LGBT+ gang to get to it but once they get sided the quality jumps up soo much that even Hoods story was like damn, I can see his point.
I honestly think this would've been better if they took an axe to the first part, reduced the heist gang to just to be normal mercs and streamlined this into being a 2 1/2 hour Disney+ Movie instead because all the actual important stuff and worthwhile stuff is in the back end. If it was laser focused on Hoods/Stane and then do the Mephisto reveal at the end then this would've gone down a lot better. I mean yeah some people would still complain but then for those of us who watched it we'd at least get to have it in a more enjoyable form.I thought the show was OK, and what I mean by OK was mostly boring. Other than liking the action scenes, I found Riri and her merry band of LQTB criminals to be boring as hell. Slug is just gross lol. And I Hate HATE how the show opened up with that cringey ass video of Riri and her friend. That was terrible
I was surprised to see Zelma Stanton since I just finished reading Strange Academy Series a few weeks ago. She's a side character in Strange Academy. As for the actress herself, I thought she was OK. But she did a good job acting and actually those scenes were very interesting to me since they dropped even more lore into the MCU magic side of things like Dormumu etc. I actually liked those scenes weirdly enough. Personally I'm not a fan of the way she looks in the MCU, but in the comics, she looks way better. But I hope this means we get a MCU version of Strange Academy in the future, that's one of my favorite comic series
It was nice to see Chicago, I live in a suburb of Chicago not in the city itself so I recognized a couple of the areas
The CGI was actually good which was a shock
I liked young Han Solo and his interactions with Riri
Now the final episode was fantastic, I'm really happy they finally introduced Mephisto. It's just funny how they introduced him using this show, when it should have been with either Spider-Man or Doctor Strange. If anything I can see MCU adapting Damnation which is one of my favorite Events from the comics
Since Marvel Studios knows of the negative reception to Ironheart, I think this is a good way to eventually write her out of the MCU since the show itself didn't do too well
I didn't like the show but that thumbnail makes that youtuber look as narcissistic as Riri

I was actually hating that fake American accent he had in his first scene but the next scene with him and Hood where he drops it was brilliant, and for the kind of character Mephisto is, he's playing a blinder so far, I just hope this isn't the last we see of him cause shit, he's got a chance at being a really good villain here and I know Cohen can lean into it and go full ham which will put him leagues ahead of most MCU villains.I really like Sasha, but I really can't see his face without thinking of Aladeen, Borat , Bruno , Ali G, etc... he's supposed to be serious but I can't take it seriously.
