With Civil War coming out reasonably soon, I'm irrationally irritated that Marvel feels it so cripplingly necessary to use every single movie as advertising for the next ones rather than actually telling a goddamn story. It was a little more subtle at the outset of the cinematic universe but Avengers 2 was hamstrung by meandering detours down Sequel Setup Lane and CW doesn't look like it's going to be any different. I just want my stupid baby comic book stories to be done well, is that too much to ask?

Need more movies like that. It did kinda reboot their canon but the movie wasn't all spent in building things up, it just did its own story.

What exactly were they setting up? They had a bit just on the outskirts of Wakananda, but it perfectly fit in with the plot. Of course the robot would want to build himself out of the invincible metal. They didn't say a word about Black Panther, and only at the most set up the origin for Claw in all of that. The point of that whole scene was to show how the twins could be a threat to the Avengers. Otherwise, there wasn't anything about Strange, Ant-Man, GotG2, etc in there.

I thought you were referring to Thor's Scarlet Witch hallucination about Heimdall and Hel and stuff. I don't know anything about the plot to Thor 3, but Thor's later vision in the water with Skarsgard was all about the Infinity Gauntlet and the Infinity Gems, which is kind of Thanos' whole thing.

Guardians of the Galaxy's sequel hints were also pretty awkwardly shoehorned in, especially if you aren't familiar with the Marvel Universe. They could have just had Rhonan searching for the stone in order to destroy Xandar or impose his will on the universe. But instead he's working for another guy who doesn't do anything except make a threat he doesn't follow up on because Rhonan's dead at the end. Unless you know that they're building up to a universe-shattering megacrossover based on an one of Marvel's most popular miniseries. I also think Thanos should have threatened Loki directly in the first Avengers, instead of his servant, so people less familiar who didn't stay to the end would have a slightly less difficult time understanding that this guy was a universal threat.

The fact that they were Thanos's daughters is important.

CaptainViolence posted:It was a remnant from the book that got thrown into the movie and changed a little bit. In the book, Grant actually figures out that the Rex can't see him if he's still during the vehicle attack, not the beginning. It, along with the gender-changing stuff, is part of the subplot about how the dinosaurs aren't really dinosaurs since they've been so genetically modified with the frog DNA. Which was based on research at the time of writing that was later discredited I believe. Current thinking is that T-Rex was a hunter but also would scavenge and do do those jobs you need to be able to have good eye sight and a good nose.

So where exactly do you go from Infinity Wars? Is that when Marvel reboots everything? Eevery single movie is just dumb foreshadowing for an even greater threat and it doesn't get any greater than Infinity Wars.

I wish the Civil War storyline was the one being broken out into two big Avengers movies. There is more than enough story to tell. Doing it as a Captain America movie seems like a lovely thing to do to Chris Evans.

You know what'd be interesting is if instead of doing two movies chronologically they did two movies simultaneously. Like you have Captain America: Civil War and then you have Spiderman: Civil War. Each weaves through the other but they show different sides of the conflict. I guess one would be a spoiler for the other, though. Can't happen for a number of reasons including rights ownership, but man that's the way the comics do it.

Personally I'd be happy if they just filmed the good bits of the civil war storyline. They could then attach it as a 5 minute stinger on ant man and base the next cap movie on a good story instead.

I couldn't tell if you wanted people to watch this movie because he'd say nothing when he killed someone or because 80% of the movie was him explaining why he was going to do it but now I know. Like if someone said they hated mexican stand offs I'd tell them to watch a few dollars more because it has the best mexican stand off in it. Don't know if it was in the movie and it would still hurt like hell but in the book he definitely grabs some hydrocodone from the pharmacy

Grendels Dad posted:Similarly, serial killers in shows don't need sleep. Any sleep. At all. People like Dexter will get home sometime between 2 and 3 in the morning, get up at 7 and make their opening credits breakfast and then work through a 10-hour day and then do it all over again. No way does someone like that live like this for more than one year before simply dropping dead. I hate this lovely fuckign show so much but I abandoned the realism argument the very second I recognized it as a superhero series.

And in the early seasons I think his thing was just going after people the law couldn't reach, who got away with it. I think it's only later he started actually competing with the cops to get to the killer first. After all these years, I finally finished Dexter and the last season had me yelling at the TV all the time. gently caress spoilers, here we go! Deb falls into a coma unceremoniously from a gunshot, the killer tries to kill her for reasons I forgot in the hospital. He's arrested and Dexter provokes him to stab Dexter in his holding cell so that he could murder the killer with a pen in front of the security camera. No loving way would he get away with it except his cop buddies don't care anymore. Then Dexter kills Deb by unhooking her from life support during a hurricane. He waltzes out with her body, not a single person cares, he hops on his boat and dumps her at sea. He then drives his boat into the storm and kills himself. His son is with his girlfriend and they are off to be happy in Argentina. Okay, lovely ending BUT OH WAIT! Cut to some mystery bearded man working at a lumber mill. OH gently caress it's Dexter and he's alive! Why did you drive into the storm? Was it to make people think you were dead? The storm was coming, your boat was hosed. The 4th wall was broken to the benefit of no one to make the flaccid "happy" ending. gently caress Dexter. gently caress that show.

To be fair, the early seasons also try to establish that the Miami Police Department is staffed by morons, so I could believe that they aren't in any position to assess Dexter's qualities. But yeah, the show made a point about how Dexter was a genius in his field of work, plus the MPD somehow learned to be competent along the way so that interesting bit went nowhere.

I didn't think civil war was that great but I did like that nobody wanted Punisher on their team. Red Son would make an amazing movie. It would probably be the last Superman story anyone would ever make a movie of, but it would sure be cool. I guess a complaint I have is that superhero movies are never based off of the raddest story lines. If somehow the DC universe ever goes the Marvel Cinematic Universe route I would love to see a movie adaptation of New Frontier. Embrace the schlocky 50s comic camp.
