HIJK posted:Someone posted previously about the possibility that Marvel's micromanagement has driven away the real talent, which means they're stuck with what they've got. Not to drag the Russos, they're good at what they do, but that's probably why. Everything I've read about Wright's version of the script sounds worse than what we got.

I don't know, Scott being more of a scoundrel sounds pretty interesting. Wright's version would be different, not necessarily worse.

i just have a probably misplaced faith that the director of The World's End could have made a movie at least as good as The Mask, while adam mckay, peyton reed, and co. couldn't even hit the stride of that mid-tier pop standard.

Hat Thoughts posted:u like The World's End? It's the least popular of that "trilogy" but I think it's my favorite All three of them are fantastic movies. World's End is the most serious as well it should be, as it's all about growing up- or not being able to as it were. It's got the absolute most going on beyond just being a funny movie. Shaun is a great zombie movie that happens to be funny, and Hot Fuzz is a brilliant action movie that is unbelievably funny. To me there is no best between them. You need them all to get the full effect. Hot Fuzz is the easiest one to watch.

Bring It On, reed's first and best film. edit: beaten on Bring It On, but there it go

Honestly both of these facts are due to Pegg's character, who at first I thought was obnoxious but then I realized that he was brilliantly full realized in his obnoxiousness. Everything one of his lines is golden.

Plus say what you want about Thor 1 but Kenneth Branagh is no joke. IIRC he said he had a lot of fun with Thor and was looking forward to returning to direct the sequel, but they didn't want to budge on the release date so we got what we got over a scheduling conflict and then them ditching their second choice halfway through filming. The Dark World is fun to see once but is basically a mess because of how they went in the direction with the villain where it would take some time to make us give a crap about anything with what he wants to do and then they basically cut almost every scene with him. The MCU flicks having lovely villains is a given now but The Dark World was where that really set in for me. Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 01:34 on May 9, 2016 |

They didn't ditch the director halfway through filming; not even Marvel Studios is insane enough to pull some Superman II or Exorcist Dominion-level poo poo. Basically they wanted one of the Game of Thrones guys, lowballed him, then hired Patty Jenkins and she subsequently left because they wouldn't let her change the script ... so they went with another one of the Game of Thrones guys.

It's half an actually interesting movie, and half a rushed piece of crap. Like, this isn't some weird baseless criticism where someone says "Ah, the second half was bad because". The film cuts to black and another, almost unrelated film begins. Which to me, makes it worthless. It's just pathetic.

Even the half that isn't completely terrible suffers from some lacklustre character development and shoddy visuals.

The thing CW leftme with was: Everything needs to be dropped for the black panther movie. That guy was awesome in every way. Same with vision. That fight where Hawkeye is trying to wack him with the sticks and he just lets the baton phase through him, then phases through Hawkeye to choke hold him was so god drat bananas and they didn't even focus on it. I want hours of it. My pitch is a Black Panther/Hawkeye buddy cop movie. Panther doesn't want Hawkeye around but the UN insists on work release and BP can't say no since he signed the accord. Plus cat/bird you can do something with that. Quips.

I'm so bored of Iron Man and Captain America but I loved all the side characters. Paul Rudd just kills it as usual and I cannot wait for his sequel. I was so torn on the new Spidey -- I loved Garfield and he got stuck with a terrible sequel. But this new guy is pretty good and seems that he'll catapult up to be great if his solo movie is entertaining. But yah - please no more IM or Cap for a couple years. E: oh yah, saw it tonight  Mostly s good movie, amazing jokes but the action seemed a bit of a mess and wobbly - it was easy to follow but it was just giant blurs a lot of the time.

I thought CW did a really good job of showing just how loving strong and fast Cap, Bucky, Spider-Man, and Black Panther are; I was surprised that T'Challa was as strong as he was without the Panther suit. Black Panther needs to come out because that movie will be really good

Then in the movie it actually goes down like that, just lizard scaled the wall or something.

I'm really interested in what they have planned for the plot. I don't know that much about Black Panther, but the few stories I know involving Wakanda could be interesting. Hell, I think at one point Thanos came down and wrecked up the country looking for infinity gems, which is what leads into the new series by Ta-Nehisi Coates. Also I kind of want Steve Rogers be be appointed UN Ambassador from Wakanda just for fun.

Black Panther needs to come out because that movie will be really good The suit doesn't give him any powers. It's just laced with vibranium for protection. He gets his powers, depending on what they are when written because it tends to be fairly nebulous, from the Panther God who protects Wakanda. Alternatively he gets his powers from an herb that grows only in Wakanda and only his family can survive taking. Given Civil War it seems pretty clear that they're not going with the no super powers just a super smart dude at peak physical condition version.

Half is being generous, but yeah, the first half of the movie has some interesting moments, and the scene where their powers are revealed belongs in a much, much better movie, but there's a distinct cut, and after that, half of the scenes have Kate Mara in a very obvious wig, and those scenes are complete and total garbage, and the climax is quite possibly one of the most visually uninteresting things put to film, and it's set in Basically Absolutely Nothng.

As for Tony, I'm warming to the idea of him trying to hang up his suit again and becoming Peter Parker's mentor figure, probably in the vein of Tony seeing a young version of himself who can be taught to avoid the fuckups and mistakes Tony himself has made - I don't think it would be at all out of character for MCU Tony at this point to give the "great power, great responsibility" speech.
