Damn this was good, October was a brilliant month to release this.
Giacchino will likely get the keys to bigger projects after such an amazing start. Either way sign him up now and lock him down for multiple projects.This was absolutely fantastic. Incredibly creative and well directed. Have your self a year Giacchino, what a directorial debut.
More of these shorts please.
Yep, and she was amazing from the off. I didn’t know about her before this.****, didn't realize Laura Donnelly was in this.
Yeah, I thought that

Cool. Would love if they could cross paths in the MCU somehow.Apparently so did many other people. If you do a search of "WWBN Krysten Ritter" it leads to a few articles. And also quite a few reviews compare Laura Donnelly to a British Jessica Jones.

Oh nice, I need to look that up! Hopefully someone at Marvel like Iman Vellani will think of that and bug Feige.Apparently they have in the comics, so there is precedent.

I personally do want to see Elsa get closer to the comics. Of course the hair and boots will never be as over the top in live action as in the comics, but I'd like to see them try something with the ponytail, long coat, twin rifles, and the bloodstone in a choker necklace look. It's iconic.
A hairstyle like this would convey Elsa's style without being as ridiculous as the massive ponytail she has in the comics
And if Ritter is ever coming back as Jessica that's all the more reason to make the two more visually distinctive.
I’m hoping the reception will lead to Elsa appearing again in the near future and they may get more ambitious with her comic looks when she’s in a different project. As @SirStrangefolk mentioned above in a couple of posts, a few light touches here and there could make a lot of difference.This was amazing. Top Tier designs for the Werewolf and Man-Thing. Werewolf's fighting style was an awesome mix of man and beast. Perfect time to release, too. Wished that Donnelly's Elsa was more Elsa and less Jessica Jones 2.0 but other than that no complaints. I loved how the B&W approach let them do full gore - the MPAA is such a joke.
But yeah, this is a great touchpoint for Midnight Sons - Honestly would not mind if they gave Giacchino the keys to that whole thing.

Also this project better give the whole Midnight Sons idea a big push.
Yep, sounds good. I’m up for a Man-Thing/Ted special to get deeper into this.I think the fact that Man Thing was called Ted, and Elsa calling him that seemed to calm him down makes me think that Ted was human at one point. I am curious to see how they go about telling his origin and who they get to play ted as a human. You can bring Stephanie Szotak back as Ellen Brandt before she went to AIM. The problem is what medium to tell his story. A Marvel Studios Special Presentation would be the best option I think. Show Ted in human form, with video footage of Ted doing interviews and lectures and then something happens that leads to his transformation. But there was also the Man Thing easter egg in Thor: Ragnarok. The special presentation would have to be extended I think to show how he ended up in Sakaar as one of the Grandmaster's Champions.

I believe Ellen Brandt was married or involved with the scientist (ted) before he turn into man thingI think the fact that Man Thing was called Ted, and Elsa calling him that seemed to calm him down makes me think that Ted was human at one point.

I was surprised that this featured Elsa, as the lead actress looked nothing like her. But it was cool that she finally appeared in live action.
This was much better than most MCU shows, so I kinda prefer this format over a series (with a story good enough for a movie/special that is just stretched to siX to 9 episodes). I wish it wasn't black and white though. Personally the lack of color made it harder to watch.
