YOU DON'T SAY! THIS THREAD AND MANY OTHER POSTS ON THIS FORUM AND ON THE INTERNET IN GENERAL IS SIMPLY "ATTEMPTING" TO UNLOCK THE CAGES OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
THE FINAL STRING WHICH HELD ME TO THE FAITH WAS CUT ON THIS THREAD.
NOT BECAUSE I BELIEVED HARDMIRROR'S EXPERIENCE BUT GOING THROUGH THIS THREAD SHOWED ME HOW PEOPLE LIKED TO COVER UP, FAKE THINGS AND POINT TO THINGS THAT AREN'T EVEN THERE.
RELIGIONS ARE ALWAYS HIDING SOMETHING. ALWAYS TEACHING YOU NOT TO ASK QUESTIONS BUT BELIEVE, WHY, BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW.

IF IT ASKS YOU NOT TO ASK QUESTIONS BUT JUST BLINDLY ACCEPT EVERYTHING THEN THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS IT'S HIDING, AND IF IT'S HIDING SOMETHING THEN IT'S NOT TRUE.
DO NOT JUST BELIEVE, KNOW.

The X-Men movies were produced by 20th Century Fox, not Marvel Studios; so Marvel doesn't have the rights to include those characters in any of their movies, including Infinity War.

Don't know why folks have beef with the Wu-Tang song playing in the fight scene. It actually suits the Heroes for Hire, both IF & LC love their hip hop. Yes, it jarred me a little, but once I noticed those two were in focus, it made sense. Misty Knight was fine, but she's not a major character. She should have been put in the loop earlier. Bakuto likes to think he's in an anime or something. Sowande went to the school of Madame Gao, where they teach how to get under people's skin 101. Alexandra was kinda wasted, but I enjoyed how she was portrayed, Weaver could have gone with the easy ice queen b***h approach, but she didn't. They could have given her wardrobe a bigger budget. Christ, even IF looked like he bought his suit from the same shop as DD.

Actually, you could complain more about The Hand itself, since it would appear their ruthlessness & effectiveness has been reduced with every subsequent appearance after Daredevil, the almost weird route it went with in Iron Fist, with the questionable ninjas that made me keep wondering whether they had lost their ninja funding. They were built up so fantastically in DD that their subsequent spiral is just so sad.

The whole Danny issue could have been solved by him being better written, they had a whole show for that and the guy still is the dude that parrots "I'm the immortal Iron Fist". Geez, Ward got the most character development in that show. I understand he's supposed to be naive, but it does get out of hand. I don't know whether to blame the actor or the writers or both or the crew of IF and/or TD?

The song's not bad, but it just made Jessica Jones and Daredevil, especially Daredevil, look so out of place. We all know that fight was meant to be the climatic Defenders vs The Hand moment and not a Heroes for Hire focus.

Ok yh yh Misty was fine, but her interrogation scenes...she was just too sassy abeg, it got annoying grin

. Lol @ Bakuto acting like an anime villain cheesy

true that. Well Sowande definitely got under my skin. Alexandra's feats were just all hype and implied; she didn't actually show us one legitimate reason why she's worthy to be feared by Madame Gao of all people. Gao's portrayal as a villain in IF was even more menacing than her, so it was annoying watching someone they built up so well just suck up to Alexandra. Murakami was trash. Nobu was mopping the floor with Daredevil back in Season 1, but his own boss turned out to be nothing but a punching bag, after all the hype. Hell Daredevil even took him and Bakuto on at once [s]in one of the worst fight scenes I've seen in my life (damn too many cut-scenes man).[/s] (modified) OK, just had to rewatch that part and the scene wasn't that bad; it's just, DD vs Bakuto + Murakami was annoying. And still too many cuts; makes it hard to even see what's going on.

So yeah, the Hand pretty much failed the show. Looking forward to seeing different villains in the follow-up series. I can't wait for DD to introduce villains like Bullseye. I haven't really been keeping tabs on MCU series' news and rumours so I don't know when or if it's happening any time soon, but that'd be nice. In fact anything but the Hand, for now.

Regarding Danny, the actor did fine IMO. As you said, his character just needed better writing. But for me, there were other characters I had to worry about abeg.

TV/Movies › Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe by Strawman: 7:02pm On Aug 25, 2017*

cao:
But, you'll still want to punch him...

Ok, Danny is dumb; that's his character. If that's the problem you have with him, just cut him some slack there. At least he got good character development and his fight scenes improved.

If I'd want to punch anyone, it'd be:
Misty Knight,
Bakuto,
Japanese boss in The Hand,
African boss in The Hand,
Hell even Alexandra too,
and
Whoever thought it'd be a good idea to play that rap soundtrack at the final fight.
(NB: This list is by no means exhaustive)

I can't say my reasons for the sake of those who haven't watched it yet, but if you've watched the show well, you should know already.

I rate The Defenders OK/10. Can't place a number on it. The show was nice, and it's a good foundation for the plot of the follow up series. Like some people said, I also expected more; there were some moments that downright irritated me and some characters I didn't get to see enough of, but all in all, it was OK.

@Eick Iron Fist was even better here than he was in his own show.

modified: imgur is falling my hands, so I'll just post everything for you

Luke 19
11. While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. 12. He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. 13. So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’
14. “But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’
15. “He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it.
16. “The first one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned ten more.’
17. “‘Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’
18. “The second came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned five more.’
19. “His master answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’ . 20. “Then another servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. 21. I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’
22. “His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow? 23. Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’
24. “Then he said to those standing by, ‘Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
25. “‘Sir,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’
26. “He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 27. But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.’”

stephenmorris:
how do u explain this. cc:loj,

The dirty tactics some of you desperately stoop so low just to win a petty argument on the internet is sickening.

Please look at Luke 19:11 (you just posted 19:27). That was a parable Jesus told where the king in the story ordered for his enemies to be brought before him and killed. Now you directly purport that quote to Jesus himself; as if he ordered Christians to kill their enemies.

Whether you even believe he existed or not, why desperately try to ruin the name of a good person by twisting the truth? In fact, forget about these arguments on Nairaland, in modern times, people who do what you did to others could end up behind bars, or pay charges till they're abjectly bankrupt, just so you know how disgustingly low your actions here are. Maybe you didn't know it was a parable you quoted, maybe you didn't even care. So do you just blindly support anything out there that is against religion no matter how false and dishonest it is? How does that differentiate you from the people you come here to criticise everyday? The hypocrisy is too much. This is why it's hard to take some of you seriously. I acknowledge the atheists here who actually argue genuinely, but people like you are just low and pathetic.

Winner01 please don't fall for these kind of dirty tactics. Btw, welcome back. Long time. I thought I stumbled into an old thread, didn't know you were actually back.

Maduawuchukwu:
That he planned to catch them cheating does not necessarily mean he planned to kill them. They can be neatly separated.

Ok, he planned to catch them and then do what? Do you honestly believe that, ahead of time, he hadn't thought of what he was going to do to them when he catches them? This is a criminal case, you have to consider his intention (mens rea), and well all that is a matter of fact.

Why I'm sceptical about this is because I know of a nearly identical case where a woman was tipped by her friend on her husband's affair, so she planned for them, caught them in the act and killed one or both of them if I recall correctly. Her plea of provocation was thrown out the window cos she already knew the bitter truth yet still snooped to see it for herself; that's basically provoking yourself, so you can't argue that you were provoked really. Unfortunately I can't cite this authority at the moment and I don't even know if it applies to Columbia case law, but as I said anyway, it's all a matter of fact; his case may or may not be different.

Either way, two wrongs don't make a right bro, especially when the second wrong means killing the people who did the first wrong. It was just sickening to see some people justify the murder.

Nobody should fall for that plea of provocation bullcrap

@Maduawuchukwu the plea of provocation will only succeed when the killing was done at the heat of the moment; when the person lost control.

Look at this part of the OP

The security guard suspected his wife was having an affair while he was working night shifts and planned a trap to “catch her with her hands in the dough”, according to police.

He didn't lose it on the spot; the killing was planned and premeditated. Nothing like provocation here; this was cold-blooded murder.

Let me start by saying you guys have ruined akara for me this week. *sarcastically applauds*. Now DC freaks should take a chill pill. For safety reasons take two. I have been a long lover of D JL but I must say the movie feels rushed. Flash and Aquaman are two big characters being forced down our cinematic throats and we don't need a back story but a proper movie would have been nice. Still its a business decision that was put to avoid the JL movie coming out in the same year as infinity war cos the MCU would crush them. Loved the trailer but I have high hopes for Ragnarok. That movie will be lit.

God, just stop this. Those characters don't need a "proper movie" prior to the JL 2017 movie, nothing's being rushed, and they're not forcing anything down anyone's throat. If you're familiar with the union of the JL members in DC's New 52 storyline, you'd see how very sudden and quickly it was done, yet portrayed in a way that people who had absolutely no idea of who some of those characters were would still gain proper insight about them, and can go on to read the characters' separate comics if they're interested. Even in the MCU, Tom Holland's Spiderman was introduced in Civil War before he got his own Homecoming. After watching the JL movie this November, people who are interested in Flash and Aquaman will anticipate their own upcoming movies; there's nothing wrong with that sequence. The way the MCU's been doing crossovers is a good way to run a continuity, yes, but it's not the only way. Are you going to start using that as a yardstick to judge any other company that wants to or already does crossovers with their movies? At least the DC Trinity (Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman) have been given proper introductions for a start; let's leave them to continue in their own originality.

Btw, I think it's only proper that you stick to Marvel discussions on this thread.

The fact that you read comicbook.com says it all
And am not a man, lady am just a teen... The overall plot of ww was nothing like ca so i dont get your point, because there are similarities btw ss and gotg doesn't make them alike... Nuff said.

Abeg enough of this issue before she asks you if someone spat in your akara again (let my food digest first).

The truth is that the two movies are actually similar, but similar only in relation to the synopsis pointed out in that article. In every other aspect, CA:TFA and WW are very different.

Besides, what they showed us in those 2 movies are the genuine stories of Captain America and Wonder Woman; the movies were simply following their source material. If one character's story is in any way, shape of form similar to that of another character, then seeing similarities in their movies is bound to happen; they're not going to change or modify the truth just for the fear of appearing similar to another movie. So rest assured if what you think is that anyone here's implying that WW copied CA:TFA, cos they'd be wrong (if that's what they're trying to say) since both movies were simply following their source material. In fact, to further reassure you on the differences you've been trying to point out, here's an article on 15 reasons why WW is different and "better" (something tells me this is what you're looking for) than CA:TFA

btw @cao beans is beans o. Even if it's jelly beans sef, you should be able to find way to make akara.
