Hakkesshu posted: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. Anna Torv would probably be ok in the role, but Katheryn Winnick from Vikings is still the best suggestion I've heard anywhere. She's just a real badass in that show and has a great physical presence.

She has great screen presence too, especially after Ragnar becomes the next earl she feels completely authentic holding power and respect in Viking society. Winnick is one of the few choices that's actual plausible fan casting based on her acting merits.

My favourite Captain Marvel fancasting so far is Katee Sackoff. Though I haven't seen later seasons of Fringe, and haven't watched any Vikings at all, but from the sounds of they would be good too. And they're all in their early 30s, which seems like a good age for Carol Danvers. I would laugh like an idiot if a Captain Marvel movie got announced before a Wonder Woman movie. And then throw more money at Marvel.

I don't get the love for Sachoff, she always comes off as too wooden. I guess maybe she looks close to what people are thinking, but I think overall that's a bad choice.

I love Sackhoff, but I can't help but feel like she will be forever Starbuck in my head. Katheryn Winnick would be utterly fantastic.

Here's a pic from Amazing Spider-Man 2: I'm getting mad Jim Carrey Edward Nygma vibes from that. The set design, Paul Giamatti as Rhino and the picture of firehat Spider-Man basically makes this movie look totally insane.

I wonder if it vaugly surreal and dream like quality we're seeing on some of the images from ASM2 is because the rumor I heard that the movie will be almost an anthology of stories, where Parker is reminiscing about the villains he's fought, this is why we have like everyone save Paint Pot Peat in the film.

I guess I never really thought about it but a properly armed Hawkeye could give Magneto a lot of trouble(Yew bow with headless arrows, or synthetic composts for both). Even more so if it was the 1602 versions, Magneto would have a lot less to work with and what was available would be far lower quality. VVV Once he gets over it he can just get up and leave.

I love that he just gives up and lets the cops take him away with their metal handcuffs, metal guns and metal police cars just because he was depressed about being slightly tricked.

Magneto's too powerful for his own good. He can do anything as long as he remembers to say he's doing it magnetically. Like, I'm pretty sure he used to be able to control people mentally and say it was because of his "animal magnetism" or something.

I think that got retconned away as using the iron in red blood cells to deprive parts of the brain of oxygen. Then someone realized that meant he could kill nearly anyone, or lobotomize even Professor Xavier at will, and someone got a no-prise for figuring out how little iron is in the bloodstream/entire human body in reference to him. After that he suddenly lost the ability to effect blood-flow more than very slightly. If you're curious it's roughly 2.5 grams in the blood, and 1g in the rest of the body. For reference that 2.5g of iron in your blood is roughly the same mass as a penny.

I'm not a physicist (of course, neither are most comic book writers) so I've no idea what the maximum extent of Magneto's powers are meant to be. I mean, sometimes he just controls metal and others he can control the entire electromagnetic spectrum. I guess it depends on the ambition of the writer; I think Morrison made some allusions about that (he did the same thing with Triumph and Electric Blue Superman in JLA).

Metal Loaf posted:True. I have vague memories of a sequence in the late 90s or so where some cocky punks were coming at Magneto with plastic weapons or something like that, and he just vaporizes them with a force blast right out of Marvel vs. Capcom and mentions something about a strong enough magnetic field inducing electricity through the air into a plasma beam.

It's always simpler when they say Magneto just controls metal with his mind and doesn't actually have crap to do with magnetism. Being able to control metal with your brain is broken enough.

I just like to assume that his actual power is the power of ignorance so he can do whatever he feels like because loving magnets how do they work.

Magneto is inhabited by the Ghost of Holocaust Past. He doesn't age, he can fly, and he has catch-all telekinetic and influence abilities. Sounds like a spirit to me. Instead of throwing Scott, Logan, Hank, and Chuck at him you'd be better off enlisting Peter, Ray, Egon, and Winston.
