MacheteZombie posted:Yeah I didn't want to argue with you on the race bit btw. I think the costume works. I don't get why it needs to look like Rita from the 90's. A creative new direction is far better than simple recreation. A creative new direction would own but when someone showed me the image before context I assumed it was of a Guardians of the Galaxy of Thor 3 villain.

Burkion posted:That's stupid. I don't really have a dog in that fight since I was never a Power Rangers fan (I'm from the Ninja Turtles generation, PR was after my time) but the new costume looks like a lovely design from the SyFy reality TV show Face Off. There's some slight prosthetic work on her face and some sculptural work on her arms but the rest seems like they randomly glued some vacformed pieces to her costume and then spraypainted some off-the-shelf rope and wound it around her. Then they ran out of time in last looks to finish the makeup job so they just airbrushed on some mud effects and gave her some crazy blue contacts and called it a day.

I'm okay with a change in color scheme but one of Rita Repulsa's defining characteristics is her impressive headdress. Thing is huge and has horns on it, because she's supposed to be Pure Evil. Where is her headdress in that promo image? Woman is a BAMF. Let her flaunt it with a crown of pure evil.

The weird thing about that Rita costume is that I could 100% buy it as a power rangers villain, it's just that nothing about it screams "shrill dinosaur witch" to me.

I see Dragon Witch, but the shrill part will have to be once Banks does the giant laugh and smile. If that photo had her with her arms out and a wicked smile I think people would be much more onboard.

MacheteZombie posted:Which rumors out of curiosity? It was basically stuff concerning the plot (Batman racing against Amanda Waller to find the members of the League before Darkseid arrives, and then, surprise, here come the New Gods), claims of where things are currently sitting for development like Shawn Levy being chased for Shazam and people like Matt Reeves/Duncan Jones/Rian Johnson for Green Lantern Corps, Cyborg having a black director if they go forward with the movie which is entirely dependent on how he's received in JL, a bunch of people apparently already cast that haven't been announced like Ed Harris and Imogen Poots and James Remar, claims that there's early development on a Blue & Gold movie, a Legion of Superheroes movie, and so on. He's followed it up with claims that WB is chasing anime properties (believable given how loving deep in on making anime and adapting them to live-action stuff the Japan wing of the studio already is - five Death Note movies including the one this year, plus they just did Erased's live action movie, and the TV side has been doing stuff like bankrolling the Jojo's show, Terraformars, and Shirobako in recent years), is pretty close to getting the Pokemon license (again somewhat believable because of the history WB has with distributing the movies and broadcasting the show giving them an upper hand in terms of prior relationships coming into play), and - this is the hardest one to believe - that Rebecca Sugar has a Sailor Moon script that she's turned in and they're going to announce something by the end of 2016 on that. Given the merchandising juggernaut SM is everywhere, I imagine the news of such a thing potentially even happening would be all over the trades the moment such a script slid across an executive's desk. A couple more posts since then have had claims that BvS not hitting a billion would have killed anyone besides Snyder, but because he's well liked at the studio and because he and Debroah have done all the work in setting up the cinematic universe and picking the talent to bring it to life (with the studio being high on Squad being a boost for him), he's being given a last chance with JL. His final bit was that Nolan was going to do Akira until suddenly switching to Dunkirk in the last weeks before negotiations were finalizing, and that the studio has forced Zack to storyboard every bit of JL to "keep him in line", which are dubious at best because Akira, if anything, is probably what Nolan is considering when he has to make a "for them" movie again (which he inevitably will, even if Dunkirk is a big hit), assuming WB doesn't keep continuing the "let him run free" thing they've been running with, and the JL thing is BS because Snyder always storyboards everything. He's done it forever. He's done it since Dawn of The Dead. I think he even mentions so on the commentary for that movie. Oh, and also that WB was going to do stuff with Looney Tunes, Space Jam 2 is dead, Max Landis had pitched an anthology film of shorts for the Tunes but that died because of BvS underperforming (all of which smacks of "these things get brought up on the internet, let me make up poo poo about that").

Looking over IMDB it looks like 2011 or 2012 was the most recent year she had a leading role in a live action movie. She's mostly been doing voice work or cameos. I vaguely remember some controversy about her that caused her to be blackballed or something along those lines.

Effie is like the best part of The Hunger Games, and Banks is getting enough other high-profile work (regardless of whether she's the lead or not) that whoever's allegedly blackballing her seems to be doing an extremely lovely job

I think part of what threw me is that Katherine Heigl and Elizabeth Banks were both cast by Seth Rogan to play "attractive blonde woman who learns to love having sex with Seth Rogan" in two separate movies within a year of each other. They also look alike.

The highlights, for anyone who doesn't want to do a search, are that she buries everything she works on, her mom/manager is hell to deal with and provides literally nothing except "the ability to use Katherine Heigl," it's impossible to even rely on her showing up to work (she left Grey's Anatomy by just no-call no-showing the filming dates with little warning), and she's apparently a crazy fundie.

Ugh, all of this sounds horrible. I'm not the type to outright dismiss a movie, especially since this is still just rumors, but I am sick and loving tired of the trend of showing superheroes as "dysfunctional, angry people that could have tipped over to the dark side easily if circumstances were a little different". I'm not asking that all superhero movies be campy like Adam West Batman, but at some point I would kinda like for the movie versions of some of my favorite super heroes to be, ya know, heroic.

The latest Netflix Daredevil series actually tackled this head on with The Punisher taking a personal interest in Daredevil and trying to prove he was "Just one bad day away from being me" and Daredevil outright rejecting that. I guess it's one of the aspects of the superhero genre that outside writers can't help but fixate on to the point where they feel they need to address it.
