Why does it feel like it was written by a film student who really liked Tarantino films?

So secret invasion is one of the more interesting storylines that came out of marvel comics in the past 3 decades. Currently they got a bunch of pros and cons for how they have set it up for the cinematic universe.

Pro :

1. It has Nick Fury in it.

2. It has a serious tone.

3. It has got black people but they are actually good actors.

4. It's secret wars which is an actually interesting setup.

Con:

1. They made it into a TV series instead of building it up across multiple movies in the background which would have worked way better for secret wars setup.

2. Lack of medium big value actors. I respect Samuel L. Jackson playing Nick Fury, but your show isn't gonna sell if the biggest actor Nick gets to work with is Iron Man's sidekick. Please at least have Bucky in it, or Captain Marvel.

3. The trailer background audio is shit. It makes it feel like listening in on a B grade TV show. Get better trailer background music makers.

4. Nick was not wearing his eyepatch. It's iconic. Nobody wants to look at a dead eye all show even in 2022. Trust me on this bro.

5. The budget is likely smaller than that for Loki, you can tell the visual effects don't feel flashy and powerful enough. It's good quality if you were still living in 2010-2015 maybe, but otherwise no. However we can give leeway here as it's definitely better than CW visual effects and nowhere does it look actually bad or unrealistic, it's just that we have seen better by now.

6. Nick Fury led show should be a thriller with a whole lot of secrets and espionage and stuff. The vibes from the first trailer felt more like an action movie equivalent pretending to be spy show equivalent. Like, of course we want the action, but it felt like they are going to be giving away too much of the character process and secrets. Maybe it's just my pessimism bias hopefully.

Conclusion - It will likely be a 70-86% metacritic score show. I don't see a 9/10 though. Could be wrong though, after all we only got one trailer so far.

Loki may have set the bar too high for other marvel shows to keep up. Funny that.

I'm pretty sure it won a Cannes Lion about 10 years ago

From "Walk the Line"

Yeah so I presume most rdrama users are already aware of Joel Haver but in case they aren’t…

Most kino science fiction tv series ever made coming through.

I just downloaded the remastered editions of this series and they look fantastic.

If you want to watch it either A. pay money for HBO MAX, who did the remasters, or B. (if you're a fricking thief) make sure you download the remasters.

The cgi looks a lot less dated (it still looks dated) now that it's actually crisp instead of blurry SD shit.

Anyway please post if you're a fan or if you're interested in learning more about THE BEST science fiction series ever made.

Quick description for those who don't know the series:

Babylon 5 is a series set in a future where mankind has gone to the stars and encountered other civilizations and fought costly wars with them and launches a space station as a diplomatic hub so all the alien races can work together to avoid war and establish peace, but the other alien races have their own agendas and there are Earth factions who oppose the station's mission and shadowy forces manipulating events for their own purposes.

I like King Viserys

This is your yearly PSA to turn off Motion Smoothing on your TV. It doesn't enhance the image. It was purely a marketing gimmick meant to trick people into thinking an HDTV looked super next-gen sitting next to the CRT TVs at the store back in the day.

Haven't seen it yet but reviews look good? Sounds like sci fi with some horror elements
