Yeah, you know, I'd be totally fine with Hugo Weaving as Doctor Doom. Hell, even if he was coming back as Red Skull it isn't like the Fantastic Four movies are going to cross over with the MCU any time soon. It'd probably even save them some money, since Weaving could probably pretty easily handle the physical side on top of the vocal duties.

I wonder if they just put fun stuff up there or if any of that will tie to the films. The Fault might maybe? I do like the Kyle + Yost = x thing up there. Makes me think that Christopher Yost had some input on what they put up there.

This is gonna sound a little weird but you know who I could see being a good Doctor Doom? Timothy Dalton. Based entirely on his portrayal of Rasillon in Doctor Who.

Some interesting news from Guillermo Del Toro...it seems there's other plans for a DC Cinematic Universe than 'poo poo put EVERYONE in Batman vs. Superman'. I just wished they'd pick a less stupid name than 'Justice League Dark'.

And thanks to Guillermo Del Toro it will probably be well liked, but way over budget and a financially unsuccessful.

They could have been doing shared-universe stuff at literally any point. They still have the movie rights to all their characters. DC were trailblazers in the shared universe live action superhero franchises with their 1979 JLA shows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg2EvhTAer8 They had Adam West and Burt Ward as Batman and Robin along with Captain Marvel, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Huntress, Flash, Atom and Black Canary fighting the Legion of Doom (Riddler, Weather Wizard, Sinestro, Mordru, Dr. Sivana, Giganta and Solomon Grundy) and it was exactly as campy and horrible and dumb and glorious as you can imagine.

I just saw Thor and I liked it a lot but it didn't have the same spark that the first Thor movie did. I suppose you can really only do "Thor is banished to Earth, stripped of his powers, fish out of water" once. I did like how, within the first few minutes of the film, they define what Asgardians are in that they aren't "gods". They die just like everyone else. They just live a whole lot longer. I'm not big on Thor's back story or Norse mythology so I don't know if I specifically cared a lot about the villains. But I thought the thing that Jane was infected with could be a nice stand-in for a Phoenix Force if they ever wanna go that route. I was really surprised Jane lived through the whole thing, especially with some of the gossip surrounding Portman being pissed at the original director leaving the film under strange circumstances. There was a good preview of Cap 2 before Thor and that looks like it's going to do a whole lot of world building within the CMU with a fairly heavy SHIELD presence. I really liked Cap 1 so I have high hopes for this film. And if it makes me give a gently caress about Black Widow, that's even better.

Odin mentions his own father and grandfather in the first Thor film. "I banish you in the name of my father and his father before!". That's as far back as it goes though. Odin's granddad is the first.

Speaking of, I probably should have learned this particular fact yesterday to make it appropriate.

Thor 2 had Tyr in it, who was also in the comics, but I cannot recall which one he was. One nice touch is the Asgard doctor who examined Jane being named Eir.

When Odin comes to Hemidal after Thor and the rest go to spring Loki, a squad of soldiers come up and there is a guy with a long beard and no helmet, I assume that's Tyr, but can't be sure unless you can see if he had only one hand.

I was recently disappointed to learn that a lot of the pronunciation of Norse names in the Marvel movies are just plain wrong. Like apparently Heimdall's name is actually correctly pronounced "Heym-dall". It sounds a lot less badass, but now it's going to bother me forever.

And yea, Taylor felt that it didn't fit with the tone of the film and that they DARED to put someone elses work into it. Which is kind of silly because they all have those things in them. It would like being upset that Stan lee had a cameo.

All he said was that he was happy not to take credit for it and that it doesn't fit with the tone of the film. He pretty clearly wasn't pissed off and has already apologized to Gunn for what he said, even though he made it clear he didn't think Gunn was at fault, or a bad director or anything, or that he was furious that they 'dared' attach someone else's work.

When a bunch of Mercenaries that worked for him showed up, the shieldmaidens ultimately decided that the whole 'vow of chastity' was a load of bullshit, Bor got pissed and murdered all the mercenaries except one and cursed them to turn into immortal cannibals until they killed or married the mercenary leader, Sigurd (the shieldmaidens let him escape). Granted he was working from Dark Age standards, but still. When you're a bigger dick of a Norse God than Loki, you have problems (although the main Loki in that story was in fact Kid Loki, a reincarnated and heroic version with none of the previous baggage, the classic Loki was still around in the form of a magpie. Comics, everybody!).

That sounds more reasonable, as I read the whole thing on one of those linkbate sites that are full of "10 things you didn't know about movie X!" and "Shocking photos from movie Y!" type pages. I am sure they are the highest quality journalism.

I mentioned earlier in the thread that I had seen a message board post by a Whedon fanboy insisting that Sarah Michelle Gellar could and should play Captain Marvel. I didn't really buy it. I've now encountered another suggestion: Anna Torv. I'm actually watching Fringe at the moment. I'm not really sure. Maybe?

Anna Torv isn't a bad pick at all, but her mannerisms don't quite fit the part to me. I guess it isn't fair to say, since I haven't seen her in anything other than Fringe, but it's hard to imagine her in an action role. And I don't think the "action" parts in the later seasons of Fringe that I won't spoil are a particular good indicator of anything. But I wouldn't complain if they cast her, I'm sure she'd do a great job.
