I remember a vhs cover of a movie kinda similar, but it was just a black dude with a white girl, possibly in a grassy field holding hands and looking directly at the camera. I can't think of the name of the movie for the life of me. Anyone have any clue?

Only issue is it seems it's too concerned about being realistic: outside of Killer Croc, Deadshot, Harley, and Katana, I can't exactly recognize what the gimmick of the character is. In fact, I think the two most comic book looking is Croc, because he's a giant mutant, and Deadshot (who I know shows up in his white mask with reticle eyepiece) because, unlike Flagg and despite his armor being the Rock's hand-me downs from the second G.I. Joe movie, he's got guns and ammo everywhere. He's this close to becoming a Leifeld character, which is appropriate.

Although, I do admire the nods it has to modern style.

Can you honestly not figure out what Captain Boomerang's gimmick is? Although I agree with the point of "who the gently caress are Rick Flagg and Slipknot?"

The Daredevil series on Netflix is :krad: on its own, but the more I read about it the more I love it because it's like a case study in how to make goofy silver-age comic book bullshit gritty and grounded in a way that fans will recognize but doesn't harm the actual overall product. Case in point:



In the old Daredevil comics one of his nemeses was a guy named Tenpin who fought Daredevil using bowling-themed attacks.



Episode 3 of the Netflix series opens with a guy named Healy (which is Tenpin's real name) beating a dude to death in a bowling alley using a bowling ball to deliver the coup de grace.

Man, I think. I mean, it's got to be, but that year doesn't seem right at all. I could've sworn I saw the box for this when I was super young, but IMDB's telling me this came out in 1999, when I was already in college, so the timeline doesn't quite match, but then again, 1999 was a long rear end time ago too, so who the hell knows.

Jesus christ I just noticed that and burst out laughing. It's amazing that Ant-Man is probably the one character/movie they could get really imaginative and creative with, at least with the poster and this is the best they could do? It is a good example of the "everything must look the same, no imagination or original ideas allowed" -plan they just have to stick to.

Her litle head clinking
Like a barrel of red velvet balls
Full past noise
Treats filled her eyes
Turning them yellow like enamel coated tacks
Soft like butter hard not to pour
Out enjoying the sun while sitting on a turned on waffle iron
Smoke billowing up from between her legs
Made me vomit beautifully
And crush a chandelier

The teaser poster was solid and it looks awesome at large size in a theater:



Marvel tends to do these awful "floating head" posters for the main release cause it's what the marketing/bean counter people tell them will sell. It's not that big a deal in the end cause better posters almost always end up coming out unless you're that weird guy who has to display his blu-rays face out.

He and El Diablo are guaran-loving-teed to die. One to prove how deadly serious the missions/program are early on, and another as some sort-of sacrifice.

I know nothing about Suicide Squad but that cast poster is laughable and Will Smith looks like he wants out of there as quickly as possible.


Also good job making a character who is supposed to be a giant, insane crocodile monster less intimidating than a black dude in a comically tiny hat.

Unless they added one to him for the movie he doesn't have one. He's not a supervillian but the military officer assigned to lead the Suicide Squad.

I was undecided for a while, but saw the newest trailer that was attached to Avengers 2, and yeah it does look pretty bad. Reminds me of Iron Man but without the lightning in a bottle casting of RDJ.

Yeah the casting is insanely good for an Ant-Man movie. Like other posters, I mostly worry about how it will pull off the Edgar Wright feel without Edgar Wright.

I was referring to the lead. Paul Rudd (I like the guy) is just nothing compared to RDJ. I think the rest of the cast is great. Based on the trailer I also think it will have similar plot beats similar to Iron Man, which I guess you can't avoid in an origin story movie. That's my main gripe.

I don't think he's really being cast to be RDJ but the problem is, like you say, the bland origin story must be told with the Iron Man 1 beats again and again.

Eh, Croc's persona changes with whomever's writing/drawing him. Sometimes he's like an eight foot tall monster, or others he's just a bruiser with a bad skin condition (which is how he started, I believe). It's like Bane. Sometimes he's drawn to be slightly larger than Bats, and other times he's like seven feet tall (and that's before the Venom injection).

Rick Flag is a mentally unstable black ops soldier that works for the government and often leads various Suicide Squads.

Slipknot is a fairly minor rope-themed supervillain.

Case in point Brian Azarrello's Joker, in which he's the muscle of Joker's gang, who gets rid of dead bodies by eating them. I think that's more-or-less how he appeared in the Gotham Knight animated shorts as well.
