Amazon Prime Video Thread : Mr & Mrs Smith

[Master Zik]

Th

Thanks man. Do you recommend reading the comics?

Yes it's a fun read for the most part. 2/3rds of it is pretty great.

I didn't care for the ending but not sure how else it could've ended.

 

[Master Zik]

Without Remorse 6/8

I didn't read a review so **** em. I liked this joint. A cold blooded spec-op action movie

Didn't need MBJ to be charismatic in this or funny or smooth. Just some modern warfare ****.

**** went a bit fast but the pacing was good. Hit all the plot points nicely. The reasons behind this conspiracy to create a new war made a lot of sense.

Other actors in this were good and played their parts well. I mess with Jodie and Bell heavy.

One message sent loud and clear was DO NOT GET IN A CAR OR STAY IN THE CAR WITH JOHN KELLY!

Mostly slight differences. The changes are very different but don't change the overall outcome.

The Guardians of the Globe didn't die right off the bat but I get why they did that for the show. Mark meets Cecil after his dad beats the **** out of him. A few villains and heroes haven't been introduced yet.

Those things will probably be put in s2.

The premise of the encounter

Spoiler

Immortal getting ripped in half

And the ending was the same

Spoiler

Omniman leaving Earth and Mark becoming its protector.

The middle wasn’t the same but...it definitely represented a better expression of what Omniman was trying to convey. Through violence or words. And the sheer destruction was welcome.

I think the animation could still be better. A la Castlevania. I’ve been watching Attack on Titan. Stark contrast in art and animation.

I think Amazon has a hit on its hand. And another nice super hero property in its portfolio.

are the compendiums the best place to start?

Yeah you can start there. Good pricing for how many issues they give you in each compendium.

Was Seth rogan involved with bringing invincible to Amazon too?

but yea they’re 2/2 with superhero stuff







they shoulda picked up deadly class when syfy dropped the ball

 

[Master Zik]

Seth Rogen is an exec producer. Pretty sure Kirkman had the say on where Invincible went though.

 

[flamenco]

I take it back Invincibile is wilder than motha****a

Idk who the hell thought of that Train scene but BRAVO

 

[spiderjericho]

^^^That viscerally gets across Omniman’s perspective of the fragility and mortality of the human race.

It’s actually sad in a way. Nolan’s love for his obstinate child caused him to***.

 

[riverdale road]

Started Invincible

[jape]

Finale was wild. Omni man really had me questioning my existence

 

[05fordgt]

Anyone watch the MBJ movie yet?

Watched it this evening. I liked it. Won't spoil anything, but the ending twist is pretty slick. MBJ played a badass in this really well. Love revenge movies.

 

[spiderjericho]

That Tom Clancy was some made for streaming quality. Good action. Extra Light story.

I feel like the high mark, imo, is extraction on Netflix.

 

[tego calderon el abayarde]

Went thru the entire season this week. Once Omni Man talked about how his race send ppl to different planets to "help" I knew why he did what he did and what the big plan was.
Also great song used at the end. The Hives

Real talk, when you take a step back, I could see where he is coming from.

 

[masagipatron]

Imagine this ****, live action? Would be nuts.

 

[JusaVibe]

Without Remorse was flames MBJ did a good *** job

 

[Fozz]

I thought Without Remorse was entertaining. I was hoping for more in the story, though. For an Amazon film, it looked great.

I was hoping for a Jack Ryan cameo too lol.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Imagine this ****, live action? Would be nuts.

Part of me feels like either you lose the impact or live action is just a bit too horrifying. Part of why this show can be so gruesome is because it’s animated. I feel they’d calm down a live action movie a lot for mass consumption in theaters. If some of these scenes play out in live action I feel like they’re a lot less fun to watch.

 

[Magic33]

Without Remorse was meh

Cool straight to Netflix movie. I can't even say straight to Amazon after One Night In Miami.

So THAT'S the way he gets the name? What did he expect to do with it in jail?

 

[spiderjericho]

One Night in Miami is good?

And Without Remorse was a good action piece. No real plot development, character development. A lack of a real antagonist.

 

[riverdale road]

Finished Invincible. Man so good

 

[Nouss]

One Night in Miami is good?

Pretty decent flick. Worth the watch. Some pretty good performances too. One, not so good performance also.

 

[Master Zik]

So THAT'S the way he gets the name? What did he expect to do with it in jail?

He wasn't going to get a new name if he went back to prison like he originally planned when he thought he was sacrificing himself.

One Night in Miami is good?

It was okay.

More depressing to me than anything.
