I wonder how disappointed Apocalypse was when Angel went and got silly face tats after becoming Archangel. drat it, Warren! You're lucky Eric's got an extra helmet you can borrow.

Hollismason posted:As I've said I've watched The Empire Strikes Back every week for 20 or so years. So I've seen it probably close to over a 1000 times. I've got about 75% to 85% of the dialogue memorized. It's just a weird thing I do to relax. I also just put it on when I'm doing work at my house or I'm reading a book or if I'm trying to go to sleep. I'm mostly surprised you've seen Empire Strikes Back 1000 times and aren't even 90 percent on the dialog.

I like Jeffrey Dean Morgan or possibly James Purefoy a lot, but I'm still sad he has replaced Michael Fassbender. Otherwise these look surprisingly neat, considering it's promotional material for an X-Men movie. They even managed to make Psylocke not look like a stripper. edit: I'm dumb, the capital Alpha is an A. Grendels Dad fucked around with this message at 08:31 on Apr 5, 2016 |

CelticPredator posted:Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out what I'm saying because I feel like BvS broke me, kinda? There's something about that whole movie that bothered me on a deep level and I'm trying to wrack my brain around it. Like, outside of the editing, the film makes me feel just awful. And it's not really about killing or not killing, but about character, ultimately. And how Superman's character just doesn't jive with me. It's because the Synderverse is unjust to the core. Edit: Oh wow I didn't realize that was 20 pages ago. Sorry to necro you, dude. Megaman's Jockstrap fucked around with this message at 16:36 on Apr 5, 2016 |

I thought the Thor on Earth stuff was great. I love that they took a story about one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel canon, a literal god, and gave him a character driven story about learning humility. The scene where he realizes he can't lift Mjolnir is one of my favourite in any comic book movie.

I should give Thor the benefit of a full watch sometime soon, especially since I liked Ant-Man considerably more than I thought. But I was watching the last half hour or so on FX the other night and the Thor/Loki fight at the end is positively grim. It's like some bad TV choreography fighting and wire-fu, like if it was Worf against some alien on TNG.

In fact I don't really remember anything other than the coffee shop being funny.

I've never really gotten why the character is a bow guy. Like, Katniss uses a bow because she could make it herself in a society where she couldn't buy a gun. She gains a skill operating as a poacher, which the state attempts to co-opt into mass entertainment, that she then reclaims as a symbolic representation of being an outlaw and rebel. With Hawkeye it feels like an affectation, like if Black Widow rode everywhere on one of those bicycles with the giant front wheel.

I'm imagining the circus performer flashback Hawkeye could've had if Scarlet Witch had hosed with his head. I think it actually improves Age of Ultron???

Because DC has an archer guy and there's no way in hell Marvel's gonna let them be the sole occupants of that niche. I think Ultimate Hawkeye did use guns. But he suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked and it's a mercy that the Ultimate Universe was canceled.
