It's definitely not spandex. Under Armour sponsors my workplace, and back in the 90s it was some weird synthetic material that lacked cotton. Then around 2000-ish, they introduced some patented "charged cotton" material which is basically a form of dri-fit that breaths so sweat can dissipate and evaporate from the body, faster.

And they cut their shirts in such a way that if you have broad shoulders, they'll make you look even more jacked (see: that Rock pic you posted).

I think this is what everyone means when they say spandex, myself included. Just a skin-tight fabric, I'm not an expert on what fabrics do what.

Fits exactly in the previous Marvel leading actor mold. Up and coming (despite winning an Oscar, she's still not a house-hold name), great in everything she's done, also done a bunch of comedy which she's also excelled at.

Doesn't quite fit my ideal older woman with military experience thing, but I'm sure they'll figure out something. Or she'll just act around it.

Superman does not have a responsibility to save all people nor do all or even any people have a right to have their problems solved by Superman. I don't know if that scene is supposed to trigger some automatic response where I think Superman is an rear end in a top hat or what because the opposite happened.

Marvel are being really smart about Thor. It was inarguably the least successful of the three main series (Iron Man, Cap, Thor). Take Captain America. It was doing fine, and the third one would have done fine, but then they made it Civil War, chucked a load of other superheroes into it and suddenly it's a billion dollar movie.

They're doing the same thing with Thor. It wasn't, let's be honest, that interesting a series. Chucking Hulk into the mix increased my interest 110%. It's now something new and interesting, it brings it back into the wider Universe, and I can't wait to see those two buddy up and take a road trip through weird cosmic poo poo. All the other stuff they're mentioning is backing that up. I'd bet that most people have the same reaction.

It won't do Civil War numbers, but I'd bet it takes it from Thor numbers to Winter Soldier/GotG numbers.

This, by the way, is coming from someone who doesn't give two shits about Thor.

They'd better not cut his hair though. That would be a loving travesty.

She's asking how he decides which lives are worth saving, not why he doesn't save every life or solve every problem.

For some reason, I found your dismissal of this really offputting. It may have nothing to do with you, but your post reads really weirdly as a response to a question posed by a black, third world woman. Like the reflex is to say "as if there is any responsibility to help you people."

E: there's also a dash of Bale's Batman in how I read this; "I may not be able to kill you, but I don't have to save you."

i feel like clark's reaction to that #blacklivescount moment was a little more nuanced than that (i don't actually blame clark kent for genocide - but the movie is ostensibly about how his love of one person gets in the way of his love for the world)


this is a good idea

I'm pretty sure Thor has never had short hair. I'd be more worried about his beard, since a good chunk of his history in the 616 he's clean shavej.

They said that Hemsworth will have "his head partially shaved" during Thor 3.

No idea why that would happen, but I don't think it is his beard.

First Karen Gillan, now Hemsworth. What does Marvel have against attractive foreigners and their hair?

It will probably be that look some metal heads have where they shave the sides but still have a foot or more of hair on top.

Though you should know Hemsworth is wearing a wig in probably every movie.

This is true. I mean, DC got a woman to direct Wonder Woman, and Marvel got a black man to direct Black Panther, for all I know, this will be the first superhero movie not directed by someone of the same race and gender as the main character.

Y'know, if we ignore Punisher: War Zone and Steel.

You got it backwards. Famuyiwa's previous movies have mostly black casts, and there's a tendency to pigeonhole directors like him as someone who only makes movies for "his people".

You forgot to mention Justin Lin, F Gary Gray, James Wan and Antoine Fuqua too. Edit: And Spike Lee who directed the Oldboy remake.

it's not like we don't live in a world where those other black directors, plus tim story and george tillman, jr., don't exist

like, i'm sure black directors get 'type cast' just as much as black performers, but within the workman-like structure of commercial cinema, black directors making non- 'specialty market' films isn't precisely unheard of.
