mind the walrus posted:Also anyone who likes superhero comics-- read: everyone here-- has no business talking smack about Doctor Who. If Doctor Who was a comic book, it would be a bad comic book. The sheer amount of hand-wavey bullshit involved in the resolution of most episodes is extreme even for comics. So I'll keep talking poo poo about Doctor Who, because there are plenty of superhero comics with far better writing on average.

Ok then boss. I'm sure everything you like is of the highest quality with impeccable fans too. You want to level criticisms at Doctor Who? Be my guest. It's just not the iredeemable shitpile some of you are making it out to be. It's like when anime gets posted in GBS. It sounds less like someone not liking something and more like an unfunny meme posted by a teenager. On topic: Dan Didio posted:They keep trying to portray him as this wishy-washy benevolent face of the secret, authoritarian society who's also an idealist, but he's a pragmatist too and then he's lying and now he's not and That's why Captain America pretty much has to break the mold and start introducing some serious moral complications into the MCU unless all Marvel wants to do is see just how far the fanboy "I'll see it anyway" dollar stretches. It almost certainly won't introduce any complications, of course. At most I'm betting it'll be a few rogue agents or a rogue faction within SHIELD whilst SHIELD itself remains upstanding and good. Still, it'd be nice if it did.

It's not the core reason why the show is garbage, but it really doesn't help. At least if it was using a bunch of known Marvel characters it could coast by on fanboy wanks like Arrow does. There are essentially like 3 characters that Arrow explicitly can't use in the DC Universe. Supes, Bats, WW. Any one else is fair game. If you think Agents of Shield which is explicitly tied to the Marvel Movie Universe has that level of freedom you are crazy. Why waste some character in a TV show when you might be able to A. Make a movie about them and make billions, or B. Make that character it's own TV show. Agents of Shield's writing isn't good by any stretch(Getting a bit better though in the back half of the season). But the controlling nature of Marvel over the TV show prevents it from dropping reference after reference like Arrow does. DC does not give a poo poo about Arrow as long as it doesn't touch those 3 characters.

I literally said that the core problem with AoS wasn't the fact that they can't use Marvel characters. I understand exactly why executives mandate they can't use anything, even if I didn't explicitly say so. I'm just saying that it really doesn't help, since fencing off some poo poo exclusively for the TV show (even if it means *gasp* mandating they retcon something if they give a character who first appeared on AoS their own show/movie), would go a long way into at least making the show stand out as unique and worthwhile. If nothing else it'd capture the lower substrates of fandom who literally don't give a crap about quality so long as they recognize the characters involved.

Only tangentially related to comic movie news, in that he was rumored/fancast to play the Penguin back when Dark Knight was filming, but Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead at 46 in his Manhattan apartment, the apparent cause being drug overdose.

achillesforever6 posted:Its like the DC Batman Embargo or other poo poo that was forced on the guys who made the DCAU. Worse in my opinion. The Bat-Embargo did mean that a lot of cool stuff couldn't be used (and Aquaman, for a while), but it forced the guys writing JLU to focus on lesser-known characters and villains and the show was much richer for it. Whatever they've got going on with AoS is by contrast suffocating the show's potential to be anything other than a bad NCIS knock-off (and NCIS is pretty garbage to begin with).

IUG posted:This is a pretty big plot point of the SHIELD TV show. Coulson is back and they're being mysterious on the reason why. Or they were, I stopped watching the show after about 10 episodes of boredom. Yeah, I was just making a joke about that. The most recent episode was advertised as if it was going to reveal that mystery finally, but it didn't really at all. Show's still not really taken off.

It's most likely because since Marvel wants to make this whole shared universe thing, but also make movies first and foremost, they want to make sure no character or story gets used on AoS that might preclude that character's appearance in a movie by a different actor later. This shouldn't be a big problem, but nerds/Marvel is weird.

Oh yeah, him and the Iron Man C-Lister (how lame do you have to be to be on Iron Man's C-List?) Blizzard as a civilian. That's still not much of anything for most of a season, especially when you consider how minimal most of those characters have been so far. I also hate hate HATE the roster of characters they've got on AoS and what I've seen done with them so far, so unless the writing has truly turned a complete 180 (which it hasn't, no show is that good), I will probably never go back to it.

Most of the marketing has him masked, so I think it's supposed to be a surprise to some extent. But the way Widow's talking in that trailer makes me think Steve's going to know from square one who he's dealing with. And that makes sense, in the original story, he's pretty sure it's Bucky from early on.

They aren't hiding his face at all, so an astute viewer can see his face and recognize him, but since he was a relatively minor character in the first movie (I still hate that his arc of having to play second fiddle to Steve after years of the opposite went nowhere) and has completely different hair my guess is that most casual viewers won't know.

The Electro plot looks simple and I'm not sure I love where they're going with the Goblin (also not a fan of his look), nor how the Rhino fits into anything, but Garfield is just killing it with every line he has.

It's good to see Bay continuing with the improvements in cinematography and visuals borne out of the use of 3D cameras seen in Dark of The Moon. Some of the shots in that trailer is more like the 3rd film than the first two.

Holy poo poo, I can't wait for the new Captain America movie now. Sad to see the first one isn't on Netflix anymore, that trailer is making me want to give it a rewatch. The Winter Soldier trailer feels almost like an Avengers movie. You've got the start of a pretty good Avengers lineup with Cap/Black Widow/Falcon/Bucky, at least.
