  1. The Ghost Rider - car??!!

     

    Here's Your First Look At Ghost Rider's Bike Car From AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4

    In the comics, the character drove a 69' Dodge Charger, and it appears as if that will also be the case in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The reaction to Ghost Rider being used in the series has been pretty mixed so far, bt chances are that his appearance here doesn't close the door on the classic Johnny Blaze or Danny Ketch versions showing up elsewhere.

     

    I like this show overall, but it never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

  2. It's not clear to me that you ever asked for a credit, you said you asked for a replacement.

     

    Apparently this is something they are unable to do. And I don't see anywhere in their reply where they said "it's not our problem". (shrug)

     

    Let me re-post their response, since you missed that part the first time:

     

    Hi Joe,

     

    The remaining copies we have in stock are in the same condition, which tells me that this is how we received all of these books. We apologize, but we will not be able to offer a replacement or credit.

     

    Thank you for your business!

     

    Please let us know if you have any questions.

     

    Thanks,

    XXXXXX

     

    They won't replace it & they won't credit it. That's kind of the definition of "not our problem".

     

    You're correct that I didn't ask for a credit. I did only ask for a replacement, however their 2nd response about not offering replacement OR credit kind of directly implies "too bad, not our problem". Sure, I could still offer to ship the original back, but seeing as how I was told "no credit", why would I waste my money shipping it back just to not get credit for it anyway? That's just throwing good money after bad, as far as I'm concerned.

     

    Sorry. I'll be darned, thought it didn't say that.

  4. Benedict Wong Reveals Details About His Role In Marvel's DOCTOR STRANGE

    According to Benedict Wong, it looks as if Marvel Studios will definitely be using the more modern version of the character as inspiration for their film. "I’m certainly not going to be the tea-making manservant. We’re heading in a different direction. He’s more of a drill sergeant.

     

    However, it looks as if the martial arts element of Wong will be left behind and the character will strictly rely on magic. "There isn’t any martial arts for Wong in Doctor Strange actually, he’s more of a drill sergeant to Kamar-Taj. He’s one of the masters of sorcery."

     

    My confidence in this movie gets shaken daily.

  5. I really don't get it, I really enjoyed. I watched it on HBO with my wife and 2 young girls and we all liked it. In fact both of my kids said they liked it better than CA:CW.

     

    I expected to hate the movie based on the 9% rotten tomatoes score, but I don't understand the hate. Yes it was very formulaic, but not bad at all. Way way better than BVS.

     

    Possibly the most vicious thing ever said about BVS.

  6. I think this conversation is ridiculous. This is a specific thread dedicated to AF15 discussion and we are discussing whether it's okay or not to say something negative about a book. Perhaps the Mods should shut this whole thread down and start a new AF15 kudos only thread.

     

    Makes sense.

     

    I think it would definitely be fair for them to scrub all the posts since the link to the sale was posted. Or they could even move them to the other thread about this book in the Silver forum if people want to continue the conversation.

    ???

     

    Why? (shrug)

     

    Because I have been yelled at in other instances where we have gone off track in the ongoing "club" thread versus a new one for discussion. The purpose of this thread is supposedly for people to post their membership as owners of Amazing Fantasy 15.

     

    Or so I am told.

     

    :shrug:

     

    Ah, I see.

     

    Probably should have its own thread then. It is worthy of discussion.

  8. It's sounds from everywhere JJ is garbage.

     

    Completely a matter of opinion. I loved it, and I enjoyed it better on first watch than I did DD.

     

     

    I've watched the first 6 episodes, and I think it's very good storytelling. It meets the acid test of a drama: do you want to know what happens next?

     

    I find the answer is always yes with this series so far.

     

    And I should note, I wasn't too excited about this series.

     

    Shouldn't be compared to DD; they are different stylistically. However, overall, half way through, it compares favorably IMO.

  9. Obviously a very well produced show, but I have yet to see anything that wows or immediately draws in the viewer the way the Daredevil trailer did (particularly for the non-comic-book-nerd crowd). Perhaps it is just the source material and a weak F-list character that does not seem capable of supporting their own show, but this material looks like a long, drawn out (no pun intended) version of the monster of the week stuff they've done on the SHIELD show.

     

    Fortunately the canvas is small, so if it doesn't quite connect it won't harm the Marvel brand at all.

     

    -J.

     

    Obviously in the minority here, but my overall reaction to the trailers is meh.

     

    Good production values, a little interesting, but not that compelling.
