I really wish they'd hired Lucy Lawless to be Hippolatia, because then I could work out some sort of fanficcy/headcannon thing about Wonderwoman being a relative of Xena.

Ehh, that's a bit too on the nose. Robin Wright is pretty good at playing clinical brutality, which seems fitting for an immortal warrior queen.

I don't want her to play Xena...but I think Lucy Lawless is pretty cool, the xena history would just be a little bonus coincidence unrelated to the actual movie. Robin Wright's super dope, at least. Lucy Lawless, though.

Codependent Poster posted:That breastplate is just about as ridiculous as the Power Rangers. Not quite. Those are still bad, for the record, but you under sell how loving stupid the Power Ranger breast armor is-  Look at that! Look at that! Not only do her boobs come out way past her face and are twice the size of her head, that's not even how ridiculous they should look! While she is in a profile shot with the others, down to her shoulders, her chest has been magically altered to be turned slightly towards the camera to try and hide how ridiculously over done that chest armor is. It's like a Rob Liefeld picture brought to life

Breast armor aside, I sure am glad they made a new live action Bio-Booster Armor: Guyver film. I wonder if Solid Snake will be in this one.

Hodgepodge posted:Honestly, I'm having trouble seeing how your power/freedom distinction doesn't just boil down to exalting Christ as a priviledged symbol. This is because you are conceiving of things purely in terms of resistance to (state) power, "freedom from power", when what Christ stands for is ultimately dictatorship of the proletariat (aka the kingdom of heaven) which is power to the people. When Christ dies on the cross, what dies is the idea that there is any excuse for suffering, that there is a meaning to it. That's the freedom: not 'freedom from power' but freedom from excuses. See, for example, Guardians Of The Galaxy - there is this message that all this suffering was worth it because it has brought the heroes together against the cancerous outsider. Peter Quill gets a vision of his mother, dead of cancer, smiling down on them as the villain is burned alive... This same thing evident in your own assertion that Gwen had to die in order for Parker to learn a lesson in humility. As a contrast, Batman (in Dawn Of Justice) is freed to become either a Pauline figure, organizing the community believers against the capitalist threat, or to become a simple Fascist. The very openness of 'what will happen next', the awareness of the danger, is the point of the film: "Tomorrow, after my death, some men may decide to establish Fascism, and the others may be so cowardly or so slack as to let them do so. If so, Fascism will then be the truth of man, and so much the worse for us. In reality, things will be such as men have decided they shall be. Does that mean that I should abandon myself to quietism? No." -Sartre Your mistake with regards to Christ is to say 'the meek will inherit the Earth' means it is a historical inevitability, we need only sit and wait. What this misses is that "everything that has to happen ALREADY HAPPENED, there is nothing to wait for, we do not have to wait for the Event, for the arrival of Messiah, the Messiah has already arrived, the Event already took place, we live in its aftermath. [...] And what is difficult, but crucial, to grasp is how this stance, far from condemning us to passive reflection, opens up the space for active intervention." Zizek In other words, we already know about the kingdom of heaven. And we know there is no excuse for not attempting to actualize it. So Christ does not (and will not ever) literally rise from the dead. That is the point of the Lazarus myth: God is powerless, weeping, unable to help Lazarus at all. The death of Lazarus prefigures the literal death of God, who 'rises from the dead' not as a living man but as the holy spirit, the community of believers. At the end of Superman 1978, Superman is forced into one of those dilemmas where, in order to save millions of lives, he must leave Lois Lane to be crushed and suffocated to death. Marlon Brando's giant floating head appears and basically explains that, unfortunate as it is, this is all part of the natural course of human history. Superman then tells the big floating head to gently caress off, and rips a massive hole in spacetime. This should not be mistaken as a 'happy ending' where the hero is simply given whatever he wants. It is rather a moment of incredible violence, where Superman 'pulls the brake on the train of history'. This goes beyond the classic Sartrean dilemma (the young man torn between helping his mother or fighting for his country), because Superman's answer is really an obscene "neither!"

Snowglobe of Doom posted:This article has a photo of the car. This comment on that article is a hell of a thing quote:I barely choked my way through Daredevil and Jessica Jones, other than the superb production value, I still have yet to understand why people like either so much. And the movies are okay, but AoS has provided the most comic-booky thing in the MCU by a long shot (with maybe only the first Avengers coming remotely close) considering that it pulls in elements from the MCU as a universe, where almost all of the movies could be understood wholly in isolation, which seems like such a huge waste considering the potential it has.

I keep seeing a bunch of articles talking about how Luc Besson showed stuff from Valerian at ComicCon and it received a standing ovation (not that that is much of a metric) and I really hope they release it to everyone else. They probably won't, though, because the VFX were apparently not very close to being done.

LesterGroans posted:Oh, nice, a Ghost Rider Netflix series could be really- If he's just a one-off or minor recurring character on AoS, he'll almost certainly get a Netflix show. It's TV and movies where never the twain shall meet, not different branches of TV; the problem is Perlmutter not wanting to work with the rest of Marvel, and both AoS and Netflix Marvel are in his toybox.
