    No.. your point was:
    you think "adaptation" is a synonym for "direct comic-to-screen transfer maintaining all plot and character and setting elements as unchanged as possible"
    And it wasn't, your point is wrong and your strawman is a joke.

    Also, Planet Hulk wasn't the only story being adapted into Ragnarok, and not even the most important story at that;
    I know that, thats why i only mentioned about planet hulk, lmao.

    Some parts were rly bad, others good, thats i think is lackluster, because it could be rly good, and i expected to be better.

    you rly have some problem with other people opinion/taste don't you.

    You rly sure you're the one to say that, given how hard you jump into defense/attack of anything fiction, like your life depends on it?

    Framing things as "good", "bad", "better", and so on, that isn't a statement of subjective preference. It's a statement of universal value. If I say a jug of milk has gone "bad", that doesn't mean it might be magically fresh for you; it means the milk has soured, objectively speaking. If I say that stabbing yourself in the leg for funzies is a "bad idea", I mean that's true for everyone, not just me.

    Meanwhile, if I have a gluten allergy, I wouldn't say "gluten is bad", because it isn't. I'm the one who's got a problem with it. So I make choices that avoid gluten in my diet. I don't expect others to have to do so, unless they share that kind of sensitivity with me.

    You don't frame things as if they're "just your opinion". You make objective statements on quality. And then pull this nonsense when you're called out on it, trying to deflect the criticism.

    Hey man, I still member how hard you tried to convince us that Spidermon foes could only be defeated by Spidermon himself. Or your Horde whitewashing. That's the problem with fanboys, they are so fukin blind and obnoxious in conversations.

    I said that like 5 times.

    This is not me "getting defensive" is just me not finding any reasons why 3 lurkers come with BS every time someone said they don't like or like something, you people need to chill out, not everything is a matter of debate.

    Not really. Though I know from past experience that you're a fucking nightmare to try and talk to because you take anything that might question you as some sort of attack.
    You want to question people personal/subjective taste about something, you brought 'nightmare" to yourself.

    Like the dude saying shit just because i didn't like Steven persona of moon knight in this week episode.
    On this, apparently the movie tested really well, people loved it.
    Well, i do hope im wrong and the movie is good, but it look, like a mess to me, Gorr look awful.

    They sort of did Thor being unworthy in Infinite War and Endgame. So hope it doesn't feel like covering old ground.

    Mjolnir's gone. Worthiness isn't even really a factor, at this point. Is Love and Thunder gonna bring Mjolnir back, somehow? Remains to be seen! Or maybe they're doing a weirder interpretation of what the "power of Thor" is and if it's actually separate from Mjolnir itself. Really, the only reason to think Mjolnir's even involved is the leak that Portman's Jane Foster is gonna be Lady Thor; it could be a lot weirder than anything we're thinking.

    I agree that a storyline on being "unworthy" would just be retreading old ground. But they could make the case that Mjolnir's at least semi-sentient. It was in the comics. There could easily be a case of the hammer re-forming itself, and choosing a new wielder, denying Thor for any of a wide range of reasons (he doesn't need it as he's already unlocked his true potential, Mjolnir's jealous of Stormbreaker and in a snit, it knows someone else needs Mjolnir more than Thor does, etc). It may even be that it's using its new wielder to return to Thor; it was destroyed on Earth and thus had to reform there and now needs a wielder to take it into the cosmos to track down Thor. Plenty they can do without retreading anything about "worthiness" of the Odinson, since that arc was already repurposed in Infinity War/Endgame, like you said.

    Moon Knight:

    ep.1: 7/10
    ep.2: 8/10
    ep.3: 8.5/10

    This show keeps getting better with each episode...pleasant surprise.

    Given how off-putting I found the Steven Grant character in the first two that's not a surprise.

    I will say that it's nice to see Egyptian gods/Egypt. I feel like I haven't really seen either for a good while in media. Not in anything I've seen, at least lol
    I would say that Egypt gets more than a fair share of media portrayals. It's just usually done really, really bad.

    Tbf, most of media portrayals of gods in general are bad, exploring the mythos itself isn't bad, but when they put the gods, things go bad.

    Dear God no. The Steven Grant character in the 1st two episodes I found to be repulsive and quite frankly not believable. Anyone that screwed up belonged in an institution.

    Other than the DID or the weirdo magical nonsense that suddenly started shoehorning into his life, what was "screwed up" about Steven Grant? He was a kind of awkward guy who worked in a gift shop and probably had a bit of anxiety. That's pretty wildly normal.
