    Daenerys

    Daenerys rides a Dragon. Discuss.



    Also, does she have greyscale now?

    Stanis

    Burning your daughter alive. Cuntish.

    Super exciting Dorne section!

    Politics! Sisterly bickering! Jamie can't write!

    Dorne? More like yawn.

    Arya

    Her section reminded me a lot of the stealthy following missions in Assassin's Creed II. Boring with way too long a wait until you kill someone.

    As Episode 9s go: tame.

    I.. guess? But he'll be back this time next year in Cap 3? I know that not having to be an Avenger anymore was kind of the point of this whole thing. I know they wanted to change up the roster, but I don't see them not having Downey in Avengers 3/4 if he's around. Also,

    you cannot lose Hawkeye now that he's finally interesting.

    The amount of "This is my last job/One day until retirement/I'll totally return to my pregnant wife and adorable children/no tragedy could possibly befall me" type stuff for Hawkeye really got on my nerves. When it turned out that Quicksilver bought it instead of him I didn't feel the full emotional weight of the sacrifice, I felt like Joss Whedon shouted "PSYCHE!"

    Very well made film with incredible action and effects as expected. There are a lot of tie-ins to the expanded Marvel universe, some more effectively than others. I don't think it was worth the hype, it drags a lot between the action and Ultron was much less scary and imposing as he was built up to be.

    That being said, I ultimately enjoyed it.

  20. Help influence Episode 19!

    As great a dramatic actress as Dame Judi Dench is, you need to cover one of her comedies. Too bad you already covered Mrs. Henderson Presents for Bob Hoskins but oh well. Otherwise, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel or The Importance of Being Earnest for a good comedy, Notes on a Scandal is Dench just getting to play a more morally grey to black character, and Mrs. Brown was her breakout role.

    The bolded part I'd argue is shaky ground. If you mean as the lead in a film that made great traction in the US, then that's fair enough, although she had had mainstream exposure in Kenneth Branagh's Henry V and Hamlet, and failing that as a definition of "mainstream", Goldeneye was released 2 years earlier.

    Will's right, Mrs Brown was her breakout role.
