Dr. Strange care levels up from a 4 to 11.

Also, slowly taking back any doubts I had about Cumberbatch.

Doctor Strange seriously reminds me a lot of The Shadow from that trailer, except with 20 more years of cinematic technology and a bigger budget.

I never go into Suicide Squad and I don't understand the logic of its premise. The SS is this government black ops program composed of supervillains who do black ops missions for the government in exchange for having their records expunged. How can the government do that? What if Deadshot, an assassin with multiple convictions, is caught trying murder someone after being released from the Suicide Squad? Won't that lead to awkward questions? Won't people ask "hey, how come this convicted murderer is walking free with no record?"

They will say that this isn't Deadshot, it's obviously his cousin Deadshoot.

Because the government is good at covering its tracks.

It's obviously one of those things the story doesn't want you to think about, such as "well how does Batman deal with traffic when he drives around in a very conspicuous vehicle?"

How bad has Batman gotten? I remember the bridge bombing, and there was a firefight outside my hotel up in Tatvan, but Batman was super chill compared to Van or Doughbeyazit when I went through.

Batman is pretty huge though, unlikely something could go down there without it leaking out.

I think the trick here is that Waller never actually expunges their record, but keeps on saying "once we feel you've served your duty to society we'll put you back in it".

It's kind of silly to assume that a government employee who goes "we can use criminals to do our dirty work and plant bombs in their neck to keep them in line" is going to keep a promise she makes to convince said criminals to do said job. A bit of a carrot and a stick thing, except the carrot is imaginary.

I love the potoo,

I enjoyed the Doctor Strange trailer, and it seems nicely in line with the Civil War supercut where the president talks about incidents - disasters - involving superhuman forces that have been growing in number and scale. First aliens attack New York, then aliens attack London, then flying battleships go down over Washington, then half of Sokovia is lifted into the sky and explodes. Now New York is going to turn into a real-life M. C. Escher drawing.

I wonder if there will be an RDJ cameo where Iron Man sees what's happening from Avengers Tower and just sits back in a chair with a huge bottle of bourbon.

I wish Dr. Strange was rated R.

quote:

Spider-Man: Homecoming arrives July 7th, 2017. After announcing the title, Sony played a short teaser clip showing Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark visiting Peter and his Aunt May in his Queens apartment.

It’s so hard for me to believe that she’s someone’s aunt,” said Tony about May – a reference to the fact that Homecoming’s Aunt May, Marisa Tomei, is couple decades younger than Rosemary Harris was in the first Spider-Man film.

Just dealing with stuff of the Occult, demons, things like that. I think it gives you a wider berth for the imagery - not so much violence.

At least they're seemingly going into full on magic. Supposedly one of the Creative Committee notes for THOR was that they have to have some real world scientific explanation for how Thor was able to cross over etc.

I know there's a bit of "Muh Waller" to it but I'm a little sad they won't be likely to base her off of DCAU Waller.

As different as I hear she is from the comics.

At the end Nick Fury will show up in Strange's house and explain that all the magic was just nanobots developed by Shield but they're being hacked by Hydra so all the magic is about to Go Evil unless Doc does something about it.

That poo poo was so stupid, particularly when it resulted in the second one being a mediocre space opera in Thor's clothing.

Let's be honest, a subplot in one of the Avengers movies about Tony Stark trying to gently caress Aunt May to Peter's chagrin would be pretty great.

The MSJ posted:

Not really? Like if it were a New Gods movie sure, but his Thor wasn't really like that, at least not at the outset.

Part of my disappointment was that I thought the one thing Thor 1 nailed was transposing Kirby's Asgard to film. Some of my favorite production design in recent memory. Then Thor 2 pissed all that away in favor of looking like budget Star Wars
