Loki was awesome; can't wait for more. I enjoyed the Ms Marvel show as well; I haven't read much about what they're doing with the movie, but am looking forward to it.

Bosco685 Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 Jonathan Major's attorney is now stating he was the victim of abuse - not the woman. Quote The Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania star was arrested on Saturday, March 25 in New York for the strangulation, assault, and harassment of a woman, who was reportedly his girlfriend, following an argument that took place in a taxi. In a statement shared with The Direct, Jonathan Majors' criminal defense lawyer Priya Chaudhry refuted the assault allegations chartered against her client following his arrest on Saturday, March 25. "Jonathan Majors is completely innocent and is provably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows. We are quickly gathering and presenting evidence to the District Attorney with the expectation that all charges will be dropped imminently." Among this evidence is said to be video footage of the altercation, a witness testimony, and a recantation of the allegations from the supposed victim: "This evidence includes video footage from the vehicle where this episode took place, witness testimony from the driver and others who both saw and heard the episode, and most importantly, two written statements from the woman recanting these allegations. All the evidence proves that Mr. Majors is entirely innocent and did not assault her whatsoever." "Unfortunately, this incident came about because this woman was having an emotional crisis, for which she was taken to a hospital yesterday. The NYPD is required to make an arrest in these situations, and this is the only reason Mr. Majors was arrested. We expect these charges to be dropped soon." If it was his girlfriend, and she regrets his getting charged, anything is possible here. Time will tell what comes of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully GotG 3 is decent, but after the second one I am not certain it will be. Marvels will likely be a wait for a month until it is streaming event. I think the lesson the studios should have learned by now is that consumers will not pay en masse for weak stories about 3rd tier characters any longer. media_junkie, Artboy99 and theCapraAegagrus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care about Echo, Agatha Harkness, or even Loki for that matter. Iger has already stated that we don't want to see sequels, and he is already wrong. Look at the box office numbers of the 3rd Spider-man movie because he isn't. thegiftedone45, theCapraAegagrus and kimik 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s already a Punisher, Iron Fist, and a Luke Cage series available to stream on Disney+ now. There’s even a Jessica Jones series if you’re interested. jsilverjanet and Artboy99 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he mean he does not want sequels for he Phase 4 and 5 drek? If yes, let them die now and don't waste $$$ on more of them. Both DIS and WBD need to look at fewer films and focus on the A-list characters. If they want to use the B and C listers, do that on cheap D+ or HBO 6-8 episode seasons on a tight budget instead. The numbers do not work for B and C list feature films any longer. theCapraAegagrus and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen him in LOKI, and frankly, found him to be too mustache twirling. Even so, if he is really as good as I read, then at least Disney got him correct.

He just mean that we are treading water till FF and X-Men ( we can call them that again). In all seriousness, I wonder if Iger ha asked why they are waiting so long.

'Sequels not spin-offs' should be their focus. Write a story worth following-up to without needing the sequel to fix your mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously: Just watch All Kang Scenes on YouTube when someone compiles them. That way, you get to understand why Majors' performance is lauded, and get to skip all of the bad parts of the movie!
