X-O posted:The thing is that reporters have frequently complained about how Marvel screenings and media junkets have always been barebones and cheap compared to other companies as far as perks for the media goes. From what I've heard that was more of Perlmutter's doing. The man was notoriously cheap. Didn't he literally get Subway to cater events or something?

I would say that introducing Shuri so early, and by extension the brotherhood of the Black Panthers, is probably a mistake in a movie that chiefly should be about defining a little-known character for movie audiences. Splitting time between multiple Black Panthers at once would probably confuse audiences more than anything. Although on the other hand DC's basically doing exactly that with Green Lantern, but on the other other hand the Green Lantern Corps is an easier concept to comprehend then the weird spiritual elements at play that allow two Black Panthers to exist at the same time. They might be removing all the spiritual elements of Black Panther in favor of "knockoff Green Lanterns" down to rings that give them their powers, though, which if true would suuuuuuuck. Also I cynically have to wonder if the green lantern corps movie is either DC trying to turn the green lantern into power rangers so they don't get burned so badly on a solo movie tanking the character (although I still think DC way loving overreacted and pretended the earth was salted to such a level that loving AQUAMAN getting a solo before him is just dumb) or a way to half-step having an actually interesting/compelling green lantern while still giving the out in case a bunch of racists freak out over John Stewart getting the ring.

I mean...Shuri is T'Challa's sister and the princess of the nation so it'd be kinda weird if she wasn't around at all. She's a pretty important character anyway. I think more readers are more aware of her nowadays than they would be of any other Black Panther supporting character. I am, at least.

We don't know if she even exists in the movies though. I mean of course it makes sense, but maybe they have a story that doesn't involve her in any way.

They've seemed at least fairly reluctant to drop entire characters from existing at all, haven't they? They certainly rework a lot of them, but they seem to keep most characters whose name I'd know with my C-student level of comic knowledge. Also, Civil War and Avengers 1 both have really noticeable "missing girlfriends". That's kinda always gonna be a problem for expensive supporting actors in a film whose budget is already inflated by a huge ensemble.

There was that line in Civil War that seemed to indicate that Black Panthers had been around for a while and that T'Chaka wore the suit before he died, so it wouldn't be totally out of left field

Also, for just IW parts one and two I really hope they bring in everyone from the MCU - all the Defenders, whoever is a hero on that Agents of Shield show I don't watch, a whole host of new heroes to lead into phase four. Everyone. Just to underscore how important and huge of a threat Thanos is, that the movie ends up wrangling dozens of characters from two different mediums to underscore how desperate things are. I'll be well impressed if that 67 doesn't include Netflix and ABC. There has to be a list out there numbering how many total characters we've already seen.

On the other hand, this'll probably premiere after 10 other movies, including basically all the really heavy JL hitters (and Cyborg). Cast Joel McHale and I'm there on opening night.

I kept laughing to myself at work thinking about when Weseal says to Wade "you look like an avocado and another, uglier avocado hosed, and like hate loving..." because I work with a lot of avocados. Black Panther is basically the "you don't think we think about diversity in movies?" answer from Marvel isn't it? Thing is, it will probably be a big hit, and hopefully open up more avenues for more diverse casts in the Superhero movies.

Toxxupation posted:Well, again, if that rumor of "67 named characters" is true I imagine it'll cost a pretty penny just for casting alone. I read a clarification on this recently, and it was less "There's going to be 67 named characters in this movie" and more "There are 67 characters we can play with because they have been (will be) introduced in the movies already, and are not dead, and MCU has the rights to them." Like there's a cork board in some office somewhere and there are 67 names on that list. EDIT: Found it Christopher Marcus, co-writer on IW posted:That number comes from the fact that that’s everyone who’s already been introduced. If you line up all the characters who are available to use from the prior Marvel movies, it racks up to about 60 something characters, let alone the new ones you could bring in.

For me at least, they've so completely soiled the brand on the big names (I really do think making The Dark Knight Returns Batman the prime DCCU Batman is really dumb for a variety of different reasons, not the least of which is that it's What Snyder Thinks The Dark Knight Returns Batman Is Batman) that it's kinda all I'm interested in. They blew their load on the villains with having the first two movies consisting of Zod, Doomsday, and Batman and Superman in conflict, so outside of Darkseid they've kinda run through all the really big-scale stories outside of any sort of Crisis storyline, which'll be a loving mess to try and portray in any way that makes any loving sense whatsoever beyond Crisis on Infinite DC TV Earth and DCCU Earth.

There are still plenty of large-scale stories they can have. Darkseid isn't the only major villain and there's plenty of room for smaller-scale-but-still-threatening dangers. Civil War was basically the Avengers 3 and consisted of a bunch of superheroes arguing over laws and Baron Zemo. In terms of big threats you still haven't seen Braniac, Eclipse, Trigon, Amazo, they could dig up dumbasses like ~IMPERIEX-PRIME~ and of course there's the Injustice League Also if Zach Snyder hangs around I wouldn't be surprised to see Magog or something.

BvS's version of Batman is the only part of that movie that hooked me and made me really want to see more. Old, grizzled Batman carrying the weight of years who doesn't whine about morality and a no-kill code is a fresh big screen version of the character that I'm not familiar with and would like to see more of. He's still Batman so he's still overplayed, but this at least is an interesting and different version of the character who you won't mistake for any of the earlier film versions.

Oh god I wish someone would come out with a cinematic response to the current DCCU in the same manner that Kingdom Come was a response to grimdark 90s comics. There's no way Snyder could be so self-aware, of course.
