Now that's some product placement.

I've never really seen massive world renowned brands as counting as "product placement" so much as "part of the landscape". And if having it there gets the production a slightly higher budget, then that's all for the good.

You also have cases like 'Man of Steel' where said brands are only really known in the US and is just flies over the heads of the rest of us (no pun intended.)

Although you also have cases like Korean Dramas where Subway becomes a defacto part of the plot and sometimes have a character working there and of course other characters having to mention how good the food is.

My favorite is probably in the Korean Drama Goblin. You have a Grim Reaper and another Supernatural being who can teleport himself anywhere on the planet... yet they eat those delicious Subway sandwiches ;)

But it's not like advertising and product placement is new to comic adaptions

Haven't been feeling the love for the Marvel theatrical releases since the last phase ended. (Avengers 3 pt 2?)

Oh nu-Spiderman 3 was a fun ending to that trilogy. But otherwise, all the buzz I used to feel is gone.

Expanded on D+ has been good, but it is spoiling me to just wait for things to show up there.

Probably mostly because this isn't really 'Phase 4' so much as 'Phase 1-B'. They're just putting pieces on the board. They game likely won't even start until the next Phase.

And yet I'm sure he could still murder a curry. ;)
 
Canon is the quantum indeterminacy principle of narrative storytelling. Any given story point both does, and does not exist in relation to any other given story point, until it interacts with such an other story point, and it collapses the wave function.

So yeah, arguing over what does and does not count is fairly futile.
THAT is bloody brilliant!

Genre series acting nominations and wins were not as rare in the 1970s--for example, in 1977, Lindsay Wagner won her Emmy in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category for an episode of The Bionic Woman ("Deadly Ringer"), while Mariette Hartley won in 1979 in the same category for the "Married" episode of The Incredible Hulk (probably no coincidence that both series were developed by Kenneth Johnson).
I didn't know that!
 
I still am not sure how it relates to what I wrote, though. No matter.

I said in my post I meant my interest started waning after "Avengers 2 pt 2." The rest could have been easily passed over. Thanks though.
So what you're saying is, you're not as excited by the overture, as you were for the crescendo? That's kind of the whole point my dude!
 
Okay, that's clear enough. I hope I make myself just as clear.

Excepting the expanded material on D+, (which has been very enjoyable) the quality of the "overture" (theatrical films, except nuSpiderman 3) hasn't matched the quality of the "crescendo" (Avengers Infinity Wars) In my opinion.

Looking back above now, I think I see where we went south. You thought, because I posted right after you, I was responding to you. I wasn't.

I just wandered in and posted new thoughts (opinions) about how I was feeling about the MCU films since the "crescendo" (A:IW.) Had nothing to do with your comments in 9402.

I hope I have been clear. If not, if misunderstanding still exist, let's agree to simply move on.
