What shows have you binge-watched?

[ghost55]

Live action Full Metal Alchemist? It was way worse than Pacific Rim: Uprising.

Fucking how?

[BKR]

I totally agree on that.
Though Danny Rand was much better in Luke Cage. What they did with Luke at the end was a total betrayal of the character in my opinion.

He is pretending ?

Watch it, you will see.

Not according to interviews with the show runners. I guess we will see in season three, but seriously, the Netflix marvel shows have been garbage. Season two of Jessica Jones was just horrible. Luke Cage was good until the end, though at the same time you have to ask if Bushmaster is a villain, why isn't Punisher, and that is where the whole thing gets existentially convoluted in that they blur the lines between heroes and villains. We'll see what happens in Iron Fist 2 and Dare Devil 3.

Jessica Jones and DD season 1 were amazing, and then after that, they totally fell off. I find jessica to be the most likeable character overall as shes got more quirks and her abbrasive sarcasm makes her more relatable and genuinely funny compared to the others

Regarding Luke Cage, I don't follow it closely enough (as in interview with show runners, etc.). I sit there and drink bourbon or rye and watch a couple or three episodes with the wife-unit.

I watched Season 2 of Jessica, it was OK, not as good as season 1, though.

I found the end of Luke Cage to be kind of anticlimactic, in a way. I was like, now what ? Who is the new "villain" now that Mariah is dead by a burning kiss from her own daughter, who was the product of incestuous rape by her great-uncle ?

Bushmaster was similar to Mariah, really, a victim turned villain.

Isn't the proper term "anti-hero" instead of villain ? I think the writers probably purposely muddy the waters in Luke Cage (and other shows in the same vein). Basically, one can read into various depths of of the story depending on level of soberness and life experience.

I've been watching Wynonna Earp, lately, too. Talk about formulaic...demons, T&A, guns, witches, etc., designed to entertain the whole millenial man-child crowd for sure.

Talk about your indulgences...

To be honest (really), I was watching DD1 and liking it, but the realistic violence (OK, not the fight scenes, usually) got to me, and I had to stop.

When the guy suicided himself on the piece of fence/rebar early on, I was like, nope, that's it for me. Plus the guy getting the beatdown and then his head smashed in the door of the SUV...

I guess I've got my limitations. You could argue that for example, Wynonna Earp has a similar level of...grossness, but it's just not at the level of raw violence, I guess...demons, supernatural, etc. Plus T&A, maybe that is the spoonfull of sugar...

I take it you did not watch Punisher then?

[BKR]

I take it you did not watch Punisher then?

I tried, was too much for me. I mean, I could handle watching it, but chose not to.

Better to say, I really don't need to watch that level of violence, for sure not on a regular basis.

When I was collecting comic books, I collected Punisher. I may still have some graphic novels laying around, I tended to keep those when I sold my collection when I moved to Idaho.

I don't blame you. I really enjoyed it, and I'm not sure I like what that says about me all that much.

I don't think it's necessarily indicates/suggests anything negative if you like to watch that level of make-believe violence, even if it is realistically portrayed, if that is what you mean.

Cognitive dissonance is a real thing, and it's very helpful in life in general.

Only the wise think cognitive dissonance is a useful tool in daily life. The rest of us just can't figure why we feel so anxious and stressed all the time.

Lots of stressors. I usually am to blame for my own.

[Ulsteryank]

I didn't think the Punisher was that violent considering who he is, except for maybe a few bits in the end. The storyline had a few breaks where not much happened. The times he popped up in Daredevil may have been a bit rougher.

[BoonDog]

Don't watch Pacific Rim: Uprising. It's one of the worst movies I've ever made it all the way through in my life.

I think Jurassic world 2 is worse. I enjoyed Pacific Rim Uprising for what it is. It's a "popcorn" flick with good action and a story that flows. Yes the dialogue is not the best and it rips off from Power Rangers, but I can look past that and still enjoy the film.

Jurassic World 2, however, was jus more of humans being stupid and getting killed by dinos. Absolutely nothing new in the story except

Spoiler:

the ability to clone humans.
