Has there ever been a situation in a Spiderman comic when he wanted to go webslinging only to realize that he was surrounded by 2 story buildings/a completely flat landscape?

I haven't picked it up yet so I don't know if this is true, but I hear Peter moved to Los Angeles recently. If that's the case, I sure hope he fights a lot of crime in the (relatively crime free, actually) three block square that is our downtown. LA has a lot of horizontal sprawl with very limited verticality, so maybe they'll give him his ridiculous Spider - mobile again.

Ultimate Spider-man also has his webs connect to things, so if you're in Queens or something with low buildings you kinda fly above them by yanking on the web real hard and double jumping.

There's a chain of balloons leading to the Statue of Liberty specifically for that sequence, and you could also hitch a ride on a helicopter. There were a few areas even in the Spider-Man 2 game that had limited horizontal access like Central Park and some waterfront property, in those you could either web-zip along trees and telephone poles or attach two lines to narrow points and slingshot yourself like he did in the first movie.

Going up against whatever Phase 3 film is better than having to go up against Avengers 2, Ant-Man, the Terminator Reboot, the new Jurassic Park movie, the Mad Max reboot, and whatever big rear end tentpole film is coming out in the summer of 2015.

Gaz-L posted:Watch it be Ms/Captain Marvel. The press release will just be a picture of Kevin Feige flipping off a WB logo. I'd love us to get Captain Marvel at some point, but I'm thinking Disney/Marvel would go with a more established property against DC in that big a head to head battle. Could be Doctor Strange, but I think it would largely depend on who they end up casting. Someone like Depp/Cumberbatch? That would probably cause enough hype to get a good draw. Otherwise I think there will be a lot of "Who the gently caress is 'Captain Marvel'?" and "Who the gently caress is Doctor Strange? What kind of name is that?". Obviously Iron Man had some of that initially, and Ant-Man will too. I trust Marvel's ability to get the masses informed, but they'll be starting with an uphill battle now with whatever they choose. Captain Marvel could potentially work against BVS, but they might have to build it up as something more than a solo movie debut though. Not sure what that could be, maybe add the Hulk and Skrulls (which I think are fine, save Super Skrull?). Or feature some of the GotG if their film really takes off? There's an obvious cosmic hook there to tie to with the Kree, so it would probably be a big Thanos build towards Avengers 3. What other properties have been rumored for Phase 3? Black Panther? I'm not really sure what would work for that slot. All three seem to lack the oomph to stand much chance. Because as it stands, I can imagine a lot of press "Batman and Superman versus Doctor Second Tier Hero: Marvel's Movie Dominance Finally Ends" type headlines. Edit: There's actually an interesting interview with Feige http://www.slashfilm.com/film-interview-thor-the-dark-world-producer-kevin-feige/, where he talks about how a nice rhythm with two films a year is to have one be about an existing character, and the other be used to introduce a new one (Winter Soldier/GotG, Age of Ultron/Ant-Man). So for that slot, it would probably be an existing character. In that linked interview, he really didn't seem to promote Thor 3 as something on their plate, so it wouldn't be that. I think Iron Man is being left for the Avengers, so Captain America, Hulk, GotG? Maybe Marvel could go totally low key and do a Hawkguy movie.

People have trotted out long lists of reasons why Marvel's fighting an uphill battle with their most recent, upcoming release since they first announced Iron Man, helmed by Robert Downey Jr. I didn't really buy it then and I certainly don't buy it now that they're an established brand with an immense amount of consumer goodwill and visibility. Captain Marvel, Dr. Strange, Black Panther, yes, they are less palatable than say, Iron Man at face value, but unless Guardians of the Galaxy is some insanely costly bomb, all this hand-wringing and worrying about what appeals to the mass audience is starting to seem more and more absurd with each film they put out.

Any film that comes out in phase 3 will be coming out in a fully developed universe, so it will have an easier time than Iron Man, though they'd be smart to lay in the ground work in phase 2, ideally in Avengers 2. Its how far along in shooting? There's no reason they can't add Agent Carol Danvers so a scene, as you know there will be some jet fighter action, and you just have to show an insert of a woman getting in a plane and the camera pans down showing "Col Carol Danvers "Warbird"" on the side. Natalie Portman gets injured and shes put in the hospital under the care of Dr Steven Strange. T'challa is shown to be at the UN during Ultron's attack. All that could be done inserts. You know, I honestly cannot see GoG or Antman becoming trilogies, unless they want to do some kind of Kree-Skrull war in a GoG sequel.

The phase naming is terrible but it's ridiculous to believe that Marvel's film plans for 2016 is Captain Marvel/Black Panther and not just Thor 3 and Cap 3. Especially after the ending of Thor 2. Also the BatmanvsSupes delay is good news, we can only hope that Gal Gadot can use that time to add on mass. Waterhaul fucked around with this message at 12:01 on Jan 18, 2014 |

I never said WB is afraid of anything, that's dumb. I just meant it'd probably mean a better box office for BvS if it wasn't sandwiched between all the other big rear end summer tentpole films. Especially considering the lukewarm response to MoS from critics.
