Duke was more a leader as a man of action, very much Captain America, all American. Flint as a leader was more a tactical thinker.

I think the thing was back then he didn't interfere per se with the projects in the first three phases, but instead worked with the directors involved to help craft a compelling narrative and maintain a consistent vision for the MCU. The thing is now, not only is Fiege working on films but he's also stepped into the realm of TV and is interfering more to keep maintain continuity with the film and television side of the MCU.

I sort of saw the Joe team go like this.
When it was small, Hawk and Stalker were plenty to run things. Hawk was the CO and Stalker was one of the field leaders who was also Hawk's sgt major/1st sergeant. As the team grew, more leaders were needed. Stalker remained a field commander-probably his choice. Duke was brought on as a first sergeant to help with admin, discipline, training etc. Flint, Falcon, Scarlett etc are all subordinate leaders. I know that is not exactly how they are all used, but it would seem to make the most sense, especially considering Hama's military experience. |

One of the most recent huge mistakes he's made is insisting that the MCU is the 616 universe, when it very obviously isn't. Even putting aside the plot differences between the MCU and 616 comics, all the race and gender swaps make it utterly impossible for them to be the same universe. It's baffling that someone, who proclaims to have so much knowledge of Marvel, would make a mistake like that.

Yeah, unless Fiege wants to say well this is a film universe so the Earth-616 in the movies is different than the Earth-616 in the comics, then that's the only way he could possibly get away with that. Try establishing that the film multiverse is completely different from the comic multiverse and these multiverses are completely different but they use the same numbering. All that does is just makes things more confusing instead of less.

Yeah. With JJ his unsolvable mystery trope does get annoying and at times lazy. I've seen his work outside of Star Wars and it's fairly decent. I really liked his Star Trek films and Super 8 was good. Lost was a good show while he was involved, that's where the unsolvable mystery trope does become a problem that you eventually have to solve, and Lost didn't do it well. This is also where I think the sequels came into a problem. JJ set up the Rey mystery well in Force Awakens to the point where you had endless fan theories about who Rey could be related to. With Rise of Skywalker, you had Lucasfilms playing to JJ's weaknesses because you actually had him solve a mystery he never planned on solving. As for Rian Johnson, I'm not as familiar with his work outside of Star Wars I've only seen the film Knives Out which was pretty good even if it got a bit silly at times. I know he directed the film Looper with Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Then directed three episodes of Breaking Bad one of them being the Fly episode. The other two are Walt's 51st bday ep and the one where Jesse gets abducted.
As far as Johnson, pretty sure TLJ is the only thing of his that I've seen. I've heard there's a fair amount of stuff that simply doesn't make any sense in Looper and Knives Out, but again, I haven't seen them. The weird thing about the Star Wars situation is that there frequently seemed to be malice behind the bad decisions, instead of the mere incompetence that plagues things like every GI Joe project.

I don't blame you for checking out after Age of Ultron, that movie sucked. Glad Fiege and Marvel dumped Whedon after that mess only for Emmerich and Hamada over at DC to pick him up to ruin Justice League. I'll say Thanos on his own isn't really OP and in fact, the film version is nerfed in comparison to the comics. It's really when obtains the Infinity Gauntlet that he becomes really powerful.
Captain America 2: Shield is over, Nick Fury is "dead" and is on the run, all his resources gone. 5 minutes later: Nick Fury has a bunch of giant Helicarriers, just like he did before! Where did those come from, his back pocket? I think Feige has always been a reverse version of Ledger's Joker. The Joker has a plan and claims he doesn't, while Feige has no plan and yet insists he does. Last edited by SnowCat; 08-01-2022 at 11:06 AM.. |
