Vintersorg posted:This is what happens when you listen to the vocal minority of hardcore loving loser nerds. My sister who doesn't read comics was very adamant that Gwen Stacy should die because literally that's all she knows about Gwen Stacy. It's like the fourth thing you learn about Spider-Man. But honestly I couldn't care less. Killing Gwen was bold and shocking when Gerry Conway did it, but ti's just a creepy trope now. Gwen Stacy never has to die again.

I think the Mandarin in the movie was good and I want the True Mandarin to show up because black armor is also good E: I'm just now learning there are some wildly different designs for the Mandarin out there and now I'm a little disappointed, at least I understand now why the thread preferred Kingsley so much TheKingofSprings fucked around with this message at 19:51 on May 16, 2016 |

I really hope the movie is she has a lovers quarrel with Poison Ivy, thus there are a ton of plant monsters across the city that gets the Birds of Prey dragged into it plus Batgirl.

I hope those Harley Quinn/Birds of Prey rumors are true, that sounds promising. Hey! X-Men: Apocalypse is opening Friday. What are the chances it doesn't hit number one due the combination of middling press and CACW? e: Oh, it opens the 27th. Nevermind.

Terrorist Fistbump posted:Avengers aside, no superhero has an established brand that the public trusts like it does Star Wars. Every other superhero film has lived or died on advanced hype and word of mouth from fans of the characters. So aside from the by far largest comic book franchise ever created, people ask nerds which movies to watch. Unless those movies are X3, The Amazing Spiderman 2, or a whole bunch of other bad movies that made a bunch of money.

X3 and ASM2 were sequels to fairly good movies, so the initial "hey, nerd friend, should I see this?" word of mouth was probably "gently caress YES DO IT." ASM2 still underperformed compared to what Sony expected, by all accounts.

Sounds like the X-Men post-credits scene teases Mister Sinister. So he'll probably be the villain in the sequel or the Gambit movie.

Going from Apocolypse to Mr. Sinister seems like a large downgrade in threat. They also have a very similar power set.

# ? May 17, 2016 00:05 |

Pretty sure Sinister is only going to be a minor threat. The real meat of 90s X-Men is going to be Jean dealing with the Phoenix Force trying to take her over.

Regarding X-men, Sinister makes a whole lot of sense as a stand-in for the Hellfire Club if not the actual head of the Hellfire Club.
