The Avengers/Marvel movies

only thing about it is that I am too spoiled by Netflix making complete series available at once so you can binge watch. Can't wait till next weeks episode.
 
That Legion series shows just how this is a Golden Age of TV. It looks like it's gonna be one of the best X-anything compared to all the shenanigans that has being going on in the movies.

Legion was a great character to based a series too, because he is lesser known, but has an interesting story (haha, besides being the loved child of Professor X and an Israeli Patient), which can be explored in a series.

And this goes back to my saying that the stuff in New Mutants had some of the most underrated stories, well, before Liefeld and crew took over. ;)
 
I'm on board with all y'all. Really looking forward to where this goes.

I do miss that crazy Sienkiewicz hair, though.
 
I could not do a better description of Legion than this quote from a review on Bleeding Cool https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/0...-eccentric-good-wont-believe-not-david-lynch/

"Watching it unfold as it struck me as something very much of the quirky vibe from the school of Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet creator, David Lynch. I made the joke that all it really needed was a dancing backwards-talking dwarf; not a few minutes later we are introduced to Haller’s bugaboo, a Yellow Eyed Devil, which is a dwarf sized creature, and kind of bounced like a dance. Now I’m just waiting for him to start speaking backwards and I’ll be certain Lynch wrote part of the script."
 
‘Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2’ Scores Rare 100 in Internal Marvel Test Screening
http://collider.com/guardians-of-the-galaxy-2-test-screening-score-100/#marvel

When filming was wrapping on Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2, star Chris Pratt was seen in a wrap video emphatically praising the cast and crew, and proclaiming that they’d all made something extremely special. Obviously you’re gonna feel good about your own team, but it sounds like Pratt’s word is gold. The test screening process for Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 is underway, and THR reports that the film has garnered an extremely rare—possibly unprecedented—perfect score of 100 out of 100.

To put that into comparison, per Marvel’s internal comps, the studio’s previous highest scorers were Iron Man 3 and The Avengers, both of which tested in the high 90s. Marvel has employed the same internal test screening process since the first Iron Man, which involves culling from a select pool of recruiters for “friends and family screenings” instead of calling upon random people in the general public to see the movie. This helps keep the studio’s secrets under wraps and prevents potential leaks, but it also means that the test screening scores of Marvel movies can’t really be compared to the test screening scores of non-Marvel movies.

And, since these test screenings are done internally, there’s a “grain of salt” that should be taken with the number—presumably the folks seeing the film are either Marvel employees or at least acquaintances of the filmmakers, so there’s a “home team advantage” that could be taken into account despite the fact that one imagines they try to be as objective as possible.

Still, when comparing this 100 score to other Marvel movies that were tested under the same process, this is mighty exciting. James Gunn wrote and directed the highly anticipated sequel, and he’s said time and time again that he was given no mandate from Marvel regarding what should and should not be in the movie. Thus, he was able to craft a follow-up directly from the heart, and the story he settled upon is one that involves the search for Peter Quill’s (Pratt) real father, played by Kurt Russell.
 
Cannot wait for GOTG2... but comparing it on an insider scale that had IM3 in the 90s? IM3...???? That just completely invalidates it.

For Infinity, I hope they learned their lesson from the 10 seconds of screen time most characters had in Civil War.
 
^ is that the most clickbait news in 2017 so far...? 'We don't know.' LOL
