TheFallenEvincar posted:So all over that. Cool cover for the trailer, kinda made me think of the music from Drive. It's the weirdest balance of nihilism and fun I've seen in a while. Be warned that if being triggered is a thing for you, I can guarantee that it'll hit every one of them.

Well he is doing something right considering even a movie like Jack and Jill brought in $149,673,788.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I don't follow the logic. While the stories themselves are often excellent when you divorce them from Marvel/DC influence as much as possible a huge part of their appeal is how those stories repurpose Silver/Bronze Age Marvel/DC archetypes and structures to new ends. That milieu was specific enough in the 90s and is now niche as hell in an Era where the farthest back most kids go in comics is to Civil War or Identity Crisis, with maybe some Dark Knights Returns, Watchmen, or Sandman readers. "But wait! That Silver/Bronze Age style is timeless and can be reappropriated look at the MCU and the DC TV stuff" --  Well that's not wrong but there's another side to it. What helps make Astro City stories unique? An extremely broad cast where the narrative focus can shift almost anthology-style from issue to issue while retaining the same setting. You can never tell exactly who is going to show up or why, and half the fun is seeing star characters in one issue from another's perspective or at least play the "what archetype is being done here?" game. How well does that approach work on TV? Even if anthology shows weren't poison right now, TV production rarely has the time, resources, nor inclination to follow that approach. Moreover even in shows that try to do the "rotating cast/locale" game you often end up with breakout characters who end up directing the show. At best an Astro City show looks like Heroes or the Walking Dead and at worst it looks like Powers where all but the barest artifacts of the original are present. Then you have the lawsuit aspect. When so many of the characters hem so closely to the original inspiration, you run the risk of lawsuits. Astro City being a fairly obscure comic made it a small fry, but a hit TV show is a much bigger target worth hitting. So you're either looking at a show whose fundamental appeal is antithetical to television production in 2015, or you end up with such a loose adaptation it ends up being completely different. Which is a pity. Astro City is goddamn amazing and its criminal how few people get to experience it.

Preacher trailer: http://www.amc.com/shows/preacher/video-extras/amc_prch_promo_worldpremieretrailer It looks like it's deviating pretty far from the comics since I recognized none of what transpired, besides a few characters or whatever. Maybe that's for the best, though?

What it looks like to me is that the pilot is going to be about before Genesis appears and also have Jesse and Cassidy meeting up before everything goes down to make his whole bit seem a little less like a random decision to just hang around.

can't really say much one way or the other based on that tiny amount of footage It is a videogame movie though so my expectations are about as low as they can go. I do like their casting however, that guy from Vikings is great
