Yeahhhhhh. . . . . . . Excellent choice. But there's another nafarious villain from Office Space, more twisted and machine than even Vader:
-
Honestly, I'm more excited and intrigued to see how the SV-262 turns out. It's just a strikingly different design from what we've usually seen. While, the VF-31 just feels like an also-ran design of the Frontier valks.

Submitted for your consideration, two of the best villains in all of the MCU: 1. Kilgrave from Jessica Jones. Just watch the first scene in the attached clip to see what an evil, amoral bastard he is. There's other scenes in this clip, but WARNING, they contain SPOILERS for the series: .2. Wilson Fisk from Daredevil. Some background info: You're a Russian mobster. You and your brother made a mistake, and you want to do the right thing and apologize to Mr. Fisk. In person. Except you embarrassed him in front of a lady he was trying to impress. Meet Brute Force and Unencumbered Rage:

^^I'm calling bullsh*t on your stance, Duke. If you want to argue about the parts of the fight after they go into the lava, then you might have an argument. But the first half of the climactic fight, both of them are going all out. The other thing to keep in mind is that Anakin's saber fighting style has always been to go all out, be all offense. While, Obi-Wan's style puts a premium on defense, only attacking when an opening is most advantageous. At least, the two remembered to use their Force powers during the big fight. -
Too bad we can't expand this to include a Netflix or web-based wing. Because I know two baddies who would easily be added to these lists.

Just got back from watching the film. Understand, I'm a guy that holds a strong candle for the former EU and I was ready to tear this film a new one, if it fell short. My initial reaction: it's okay. Definitely got "A New Hope: The Next Generation" feel from it. It's adequate. It didn't wow me like Empire, but it wasn't a steaming pile of poo either. If I had to rank them, I'd say it's somewhere around No. 4 or No. 5 out of the seven so far. I still like Revenge of the Sith more (despite making Grevious a moustache-twirling villain, the "NO!!" scene, and the whole twins birth/Padme's death bit), and I usually rank Sith as No. 3 or 4 on my preference list. Again, it was a solid movie, but it's not the second coming or anything like that. Considering they have the unenviable task of tying back to the original trilogy after 30 years and they have guys like me that will be comparing this story to the EU ones Disney wiped away from canon, The Force Awakens was alright. Nothing spectacular, but nothing horrible either.

I finished watching the rest of Jessica Jones last weekend and am finally getting a chance to write down my thoughts. My impressions: it's not an out-of-the-park homerun, but it's one hell of a solid triple. But despite these misgivings, I still did enjoy watching the series. It's not as ridiculously good as Daredevil was (but I think that has to do with all the memorable characters and long comics backstory and history Daredevil has), but it's still a good entry into the MCU/television universe. I'm curious to see where they take the Luke Cage story now.

Somewhat related, but I'm seriously considering using this method, when I eventually show the Star Wars movies to my kids: http://www.nomachetejuggling.com/2011/11/11/the-star-wars-saga-suggested-viewing-order/ Once they're old enough, I'm curious to see what their reactions, impressions, and interpretations will be.

I guess the Director of SHIELD couldn't find a SWORD, so he used his "Hand" to take AIM and crush (like a HAMMER) the heart of HYDRA.
-
Why is it none of these live action films try to copy Clancy Brown's version of Lex from the numerous animated series? So, tired of over-the-top villain Lex. Speaking of which, wonder how long it will take until Warner Bros. and DC finally cave and ask Bruce Timm and Paul Dini to develop the live action universe.

Ward was just pissed that Fitz wouldn't give him one of those SHIELD-authorized cell phone batteries with super-ultra-extended-battery-charge-life. Downloads using Hydra Mobile eat up a ton of battery life!
-
Yeah, Lastly, at Dangard Ace, I was actually referring to a scene where Daisy was walking Hunter through some computer-coding stuff. Amusing stuff, but still not as funny as when they busted out the subtitles during his drunken ramblings.
-
I just found it hilarious that For me, I wanna see a flashback to the moment Rex left the 501st or what he was doing during Order 66.

Just got back from watching it. DAMN YOU DISNEY, Maybe I'm getting soft in my old age, or maybe it's because I have kids of my own (including a son who is full-bore in his dinosaur-obsessed phase), but I enjoyed this movie. My wife sensed that it was more targeted towards boys with its "becoming a man" themes. You'll definitely catch bits and story beats that you've probably seen in other Disney/Pixar films. But there are a few heart-tugging moments too.

Freakin' Ezra! I really enjoyed this week's episode (Stealth Strike). And I think we finally got a retconned reason as to why the Stormies are such horrible shots.
-
Your loss, bub. Kilgrave's a royal a-hole of a villain though.
-
I'm just three episodes in. . . you'll definitely get more of that SEX SELLS vibe in the next few episodes, Dobber. But given the characters and the on-going story, I get why it's there. Been enjoying the story so far. Not your typical super-hero story, but it's clear to see why Marvel selected this for a live-action adaptation.

And "You do know which one is the forward slash, right?"
-
^^Stop what you're doing, and watch it now. It's that damn good!
-
No Corellian bloodstripes on them trousers?
-
^^It was okay. The one thing you gotta give credit to Agents of SHIELD for, though, is they don't drag storylines out.
-
Still follow the show, but not sure about the Lash reveal. With SHIELD's usually fast-paced storylines, I'm pretty sure we'll get some backstory and understanding of Lash's motivations sooner rather than later. Poor Fitz though, dude needs to get laid after all the boss things he's done already this season.
-
And still we wait for an updated TV-STYLE SDF-1. smh
-
Nah, this one has a logical story that emphasizes characters over insane plot ideas.
