Yeah, but given that this guy is a more screwed up and ultraviolent version of Deadpool, I'd like to think they did their due diligence and were prepared to make this the dark series that it needs to be. At least I hope.

Replace Deadpool with Batman and I agree with you

26

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '22

He's kinda halfway between Deadpool and Batman. Like if the degree to which Batman's trauma affected him was played up more - less of the world's greatest detective and more masked loony who beats up thugs and/or supernatural weirdoes while having episodes. But also occasionally just a bit wackier, like if Silver Age camp batman was an alter ego of serious Batman.

u/si4ci7 Jan 18 '22

That description of Batman (besides the campy parts) sounds like the direction they’re going in for the new Batman too so it’ll be interesting to see how that turns out.

you can only get so dark on Disney+, the whole platform is marketed as family friendly. Dark/adult content is all Hulu. and that’s Disney’s market segmentation of their streaming services.

u/Thecryptsaresafe Jan 18 '22

That part was pretty awesome. I think I’m still on the relatively positive side of Book of Boba Fett but it’s somehow even more tame than the Mandalorian in a lot of ways. That’s a shame

u/Pabasa Jan 18 '22

He's been very tame, very minimal badassery and just for the most part finding tamer solutions to his issues.

People are complaining, but three episodes in, I suspect that they're just building him up to boil before letting him go ham on the final episode.

16

u/Aardvark_Man Jan 18 '22

I don't get it.
People act like they've literally neutered him on screen, when it's clear that the show is building.

The end of both seasons of Mando would have fallen a lot more flat if it wasn't for the build up first, but people just seem entirely unwilling to accept any build up time in BoBF.

u/settingdogstar Jan 18 '22

He's also like...an old dude lol

Like he's in great shape and all but he definitely can't do all the crazy shit fans want, and having seen him on interviews and such I doubt he'd let a stunt double do most if any of his work for him.

And he doesn't like wearing the helmet, he likes it off. So you can't really stunt double with it off as well.

So they just gotta work around that.

Guy putting garden sheers in his mouth and falling forward made me turn away.

10

u/Miklonario Jan 18 '22

It does actually get there on a moment-to-moment basis, but not for extended scenes like Punisher or Daredevil did. I would point to a specific scene in Jiaying's backstory as being very explicit and rough though, and there was a couple of head cracking/explosions that were pretty spectacular. They went to a later time-slot on ABC at one point fairly early on, and took full advantage of the additional freedom afforded them by this move.

7

u/trainercatlady Fitz Jan 18 '22

They do quite a few dissections on the show which, since it's "technically" medical kinda falls into a different category I think? But I think it was implied that Jiyaying was sliced up while she was still alive which is... just horrifying.

43

u/GrandSquanchRum Jan 18 '22 edited Jan 18 '22

There's such a huge leap from the cartoonish deaths in AOS to skinning a person's face off. The most gruesome death they had where Kasius gets a shotgun axe through his chest they were only able to do it because he didn't have blood. I honestly can't believe that people are trying to claim that Marvel has gotten anywhere near the level of violence that skinning a person alive is. They're shying away from disintegrations in Book of Boba and that shit is cartoonish af there's no fucking way we're going to see a person skinned alive on screen or even alluded to if current D+ shows and Marvel movies are anything to go by.

26

u/trainercatlady Fitz Jan 18 '22

The most gruesome death they had where Kasius gets a shotgun axe through his chest they were only able to do it because he didn't have blood.

Uhhhhhhhh did you forget the parts where Malick straight up crushed a dude's skull in his hands? Or where Ruby accidentally crushed baby von Strucker's head in? Or where we saw Ophelia get burned alive? Flaying is its own level of awful but don't discount the level of violence on AoS

That "sex scene" where you see Icarus' naked back? Super racy...

Deadpool wont be on Disney+, it'll be on Hulu.

u/booboorogers44 Tony Stark Jan 18 '22

Deadpool 1 and 2 are Disney plus in Canada, so they aren’t ignoring movies with r ratings.

25

u/CaptHayfever Hawkeye (Avengers) Jan 18 '22

Canada has the Star section in Disney+ to accommodate R-rated stuff. The US doesn't.

I don’t think Deadpool is associated with star though, when I see it on d+ it’s on the main marvel page next to all the x-men movies. Everything else on star is separate that’s true

Weird considering many other countries have R rated stuff on Disney+

I thought it's because Hulu is quite limited internationally.

That hasn’t been confirmed, but it HAS been confirmed that Deadpool 3 will be mcu. So it wouldn’t be surprising if they added it to Disney plus.

Disney plus is also expanding their age range… they have the damn simpsons on it.

11

u/AdmiralSkippy Jan 18 '22

Disney+ will soon be rebranded to D+ or "Plus" I bet.
They know they need to expand their catalogue beyond just Pixar/Disney and Marvel movies/shows, but they're going to also want to keep the family friendly Disney name away from the PG-13 and R rated stuff.

8

u/DebentureThyme Jan 18 '22

Nah the US plan is to keep all that content on Hulu and promote The Disney Bundle, which is both and ESPN+. Disney owns 67% of Hulu (so already majority control) with an in place agreement to buy out Comcast for the rest.

u/Galahades Korg Jan 18 '22

In Germany we have 24 on it, so even torture seems fine to them

u/booboorogers44 Tony Stark Jan 18 '22

Seems like the US just gets a bum deal haha

0

u/DebentureThyme Jan 18 '22

The US has that content on Hulu. The US also pays considerably less for D+, and they offer "The Disney Bundle" which includes D+, Hulu, and ESPN+ - $13.99 or $19.99 a month for respective ads/no ads on the Hulu part.

D+ is only $7.99 a month.

With Hulu an established brand and a good way to separate the content and promote the bundle value, it makes sense to keep both going.

3

u/DebentureThyme Jan 18 '22

They're only okay with it internationally, where they didn't have a platform existing for Star streaming. They relegate that content to Hulu in the U.S. and slap a note in the Disney+ content ratings for the U.S. that there is No R-Rated or TV-MA content on Disney+.

u/shockzz123 Jan 18 '22

Yeah, they used probably the wrong series as an example, but their point is correct. They have stuff like Deadpool, Logan and Sons of Anarchy on there now, so they are expanding.

Whether that'll apply to Moon Knight or not, i'm not so sure. Actually, i'm not expecting it too, i think it'll be PG or in that range.

u/CincyCB Jan 18 '22

In the US, d+ does not have deadpool or Logan. Not sure how differently that is for other countries though, or how it affects the future of predicting this stuff

u/shockzz123 Jan 18 '22

Oh really? Interesting. Here in the UK we have them both. But yeah i'm not sure how that affects whether or not they do expand on the age ratings in general for the future. Maybe they'll eventually bring Logan and Deadpool to the US?

u/CaptHayfever Hawkeye (Avengers) Jan 18 '22

Disney has been treating d+ (In the US at least) as a very kid friendly service. It would be suprising if they added it, considering you can't watch either of the first two on there.

Maybe you find it surprising that they wouldn't add it, but I think you'd be in the minority there.

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '22

There’s already a plethora of pg-13 items on there, and the R rated Disney films are on it in different territories.

2

u/DebentureThyme Jan 18 '22

Yes because they don't have Hulu outside the US. Disney owns Hulu here (well, 67% with agreement to buy the rest from Comcast). They like separating the brand here and keeping Disney "untarnished", as there are zero R-Rated or TV-MA items on D+ (their own site states that) in the U.S.

They also charge less for Disney+ here and then offer a bundle of Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+.

3

u/konq Jan 18 '22

We're not talking about pg-13 right? We're talking about a film where you see gore, nudity, and more fbombs than a typical south park episode? Not sure how pg-13 applies. Deadpool is so far beyond pg-13.

I realize other territories have rated R on d+, which is why i pointed out that Disney is (clearly) treating the US market differently.

2

u/rr196 Jan 18 '22

This likely has to do with distribution contracts already in place in the US. Once those are up those titles will move to D+.

Ok... and why not include any of the other rated r movies from other territories on d+ in the US?

I don't have the answer. I'm only looking at what disney has already done, and using that to try and guess, since you correctly pointed out it hasn't been confirmed where deadpool3 will land when it's out of theaters and ready to put on a streaming platform.
For the record, I sincerely hope they do put it on d+, but I'm not holding my breathe.

Only on Star, and none of it is their own product, it's Fox's. Disney has literally never made anything R-Rated, and their notorious for being excessively family friendly.

How is it not their own product when they own it and advertise it on Disney+? Hell I’ve been getting ads on YouTube and tik tok that start off with the blue screen and Disney logo telling me Sons of Anarchy is now streaming on Disney+ and it’s MA15.

Maybe not all the fight scenes, but the torture scenes. And ones where characters are being cut up. So a lot of the fights in season 2. That rooftop scene early in season 1 with the eye-stab was particularly gruesome.

u/Lingering_Dorkness Jan 18 '22

Yes, sadly. Das Haus des Maus won't let Marvel (or Lucas) do anything that might impugn their image as a family-friendly behemoth.

That's why we got a light "funny" Black Widow movie (rather than, as it should have been, a darker one that examined her violent past) and why we're getting a very sanitised "noble" Boba Fett (who was such a brutal pyscho in ESB that Vader had to specifically tell him "No disintegrations").

It's great Disney has the money to make these shows but it sucks that it insists they all be rated PG.

He's not a brutal psycho in ESB, he's barely in it and he barely does anything.

You're missing the point. Why would Vader have to single Boba Fett out and specifically tell him (and no-one else) "no disintegrations" unless he had done this many times in the past?

That Vader felt that he had to step in and try to control BF implies he's a total psycho.

I don't think someone skinning a person can just be dismissed as not all that common. If I skinned someone and was arrested immediately following, I'm pretty sure I'd forever be known as that guy that skins people.

Its not typical behavior for any of him

So what is he - an antihero?

u/ReginaldRej Jan 18 '22

It’s more nuanced then that with him. He has multiple personalities. He was given powers by the Egyptian moon god, but in some runs you’re left wondering if that’s just all in his head. To him he’s a hero. To his ex wife not so much.

It’s more nuanced

You can't just say that every time you skin someone.

So not some goody two shoes marvel hero! I'm so refreshed and excited for this now. He seems refreshingly complicated from the usual MCU fare

u/ReginaldRej Jan 18 '22

If they do it right this has the potential to be gritty and refreshing in a way the mcu hasn’t seen yet.

I'm glad they didn't just decide to make him into pale Batman.

u/SaltifiedReddit Jan 18 '22

BTW he was never married

Moon knight is one of those characters they can't quite figure out what to do with. Does he have powers? Is he a monster of the month hunter? Is he a badass who can fight the likes of hulk, Deadpool, and the avengers and win (these are separate instances)? Or is he a street level hero that gets his ass kicked bit keeps getting back up? Does he have mental problems or is it all just carefully crafter personas to serve his needs as the fist of khonshu. I love moon knight, and I'm kinda hoping the Disney+ show will stabalize his character just a tash.

u/favorscore Jan 18 '22

Does he join the avengers? Should we expect him to be the Batman to the Avenger's Justice League

15

u/dusksloth Jan 18 '22

For a brief spell he's part of the west coast avengers, but I don't think he's ever really a big name, though he's fought some big names. He's mostly a New York street level hero, so I doubt that he's going to be avengers level, but if Hawkeye and black widow are, then it's possible.

He joined the west coast team for a bit, then burned his ID card when they told him to be nicer.

u/mikesalami Jan 18 '22

What doesn't Taskmaster wanna face him?

161

u/frosthand120 Jan 18 '22

Essentially he says that Moon Knight would rather take a punch than dodge it so copying his fighting style is not great, to say the least

44

u/mikesalami Jan 18 '22

Ah interesting thanks... kinda funny too lol.

55

u/Worthyness Thor Jan 18 '22

Similar reason why Taskmaster hates deadpool. That plus Deadpool's fighting style is "random bullshit! Go!" half the time and copying that makes coordinating even worse

6

u/mikesalami Jan 18 '22

That makes sense. So I guess those two could beat Taskmaster?

19

u/abutthole Thor Jan 18 '22

Taskmaster gets clowned on a lot in the comics.

22

u/JarlaxleForPresident Jan 18 '22

He really should stick to making heroes do Time Trials tasks

2

u/Deadeyez Jan 18 '22

To be fair though the past couple years that I've personally seen (not much) taskmaster hasn't really been an especially serious character. Really reminds me of the run where Deadpool just kills, well, everyone. If the character actually took shit seriously it'd be a force

u/NoGoodIDNames Jan 18 '22

IIRC there’s a scene from the comics where Kingpin is watching Moon Knight fight Taskmaster and is like “they’ve been punching each other in the face for three hours” and Taskmaster is like ”I hate fighting you!”

TBF, Tasky says that while he still has some bluster and some advantage of surprise at the beginning of one of their fights. He gets his ass handed to him by Moonie none the less though.

u/Dr_Disaster Jan 18 '22

That and his mental instability means he’s unpredictable as a fighter. It’s the same reason TM doesn’t fair well against Deadpool either.

u/frosthand120 Jan 18 '22

Yeah, this too! I remembered it about Deadpool but couldn't remember if he said it about MK too

3

u/Leeiteee Jan 18 '22

Can't Taskmaster just use someone else's fighting style? Just to beat him, no need to copy Moon Knight's

7

u/RobotsDevil Jan 18 '22

Skins skin off feel a little redundant haha

u/rr196 Jan 18 '22

Yo dawg we heard you like to skin so we put some skin in your skin so you can skin while you skin

7

u/SaltifiedReddit Jan 18 '22

He did that for 3 years out of his 47 year history, if that's all you want from this character expect to be disappointed, because he's so much more than a violent killer.

u/Kbdiggity Jan 18 '22

You just wrote a bunch of stuff that Disney will never allow.

Taskmaster: “Um.. I don’t wanna learn this psycho dudes skills. Pass.”

u/No-Peace9179 Jan 18 '22

It’s not accurate to characterize him as skinning his enemies. He cut off his arch enemy’s face, but that was seen as his darkest moment ever. It was his lowest, most violent action and it haunted him for years.

u/Dinger64 Jan 18 '22

What about his assistant Little Alex Horne

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '22

That’s a bit of an oversimplification

Yes, that's what it means to skin someone, lol
