Die Laughing posted:I'd think movies like Hunger Games with female leads would be what gives a female lead super hero movie any sort of chance. Like every single success counter to the narrative that female action leads don't sell let me assure you that "That's a fluke" is what Hollywood thinks about Hunger Games.

I would hope that Disney's investors aren't looking at comic books to determine the appeal of a female character to the general public. I don't know if I would use comics as a bellwether for any character actually given the absurdly small readership.

I thought them being in the MCU was evidenced by their Netflix budget and all, but I guess not.

I'm not familiar with TV budgets. $200 million for 60 episodes, that's $33 million per 10 episode series. What's that comparable to? I've heard Game of Thrones cost about twice that much, not sure what season. XboxPants fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Apr 16, 2014 |

Average budget is about $3 million an episode today, so they're right about even.

I know it'll be answered in the movies, or hell maybe not, but I really have to wonder what is up with Young Charles sometimes being in a wheelchair and sometimes not. Also Young Hank being blue sometimes and sometimes not.

Young Hank can change at will, I think. Young Professor X seems to have some kind of leg braces in some of the promos released.

Humbug Scoolbus posted:Captain Marvel is the other big female hero, For third and fourth tier; Other Captain Marvel, Mockingbird, Mantis, Moondragon, Hellcat, Valkyrie and a lot of others. Moondragon and Mantis are dead easy tie-ins with GotG. Mockingbird and both Captain Marvels with the Avengers. Hellcat and Valkyrie with Doctor Strange. Man, if we can't get another Hellcat mini, we'll never get a Hellcat movie. I'd love it, though.

Yeah, I like that trailer in general but the pacing is a bit odd.Hakkesshu posted:Game of Thrones is one of the most popular shows running, and it has recast several important characters between each season, some more than once! It's way more complicated and harder to follow than any superhero film, and people are fine. None of the people recast so far in Game of Thrones were even remotely as important as Captain America etc. which people were discussing. Not that I think it would be a big issue, it worked for James Bond and the Hulk.

Nah. DC calls their guy Shazam now, so they wouldn't even want the name anyways. Speaking of, where is the Shazam movie, DC? You'd think that'd do gangbusters with kids.

TetsuoTW posted:I thought Marvel kept giving Captain Marvel chances because if they didn't, they'd lose the trademark? Not totally. Marvel needs to publish a book with the name Captain Marvel in the title which is why they've done reprints and brought back fake Captain Marvels before caving and renaming Carol. DC couldn't publish a book with the title of Captain Marvel so eventually caved and just renamed them to Shazam.

I think Katee seems like a cool and chill person who'd be fun to hang out with. But she would not be the type of casting coup that Marvels usually lands for their movies, not by a long shot. Her main fanbase is from the Battlestar Galactica remake and that was her playing two emotions; angry and horny. So yeah, don't cast her for something that deserves better like Captain Marvel.

I'm not sure how invested DC is in Shazam. It seems like Geoff Johns is the only writer who's particularly interested in him, and pre-New 52, Black Adam was a much bigger character while Dan DiDio was talking about how Captain Marvel "doesn't fit in".
