The Dr. Strange movie :) She got the names all mixed up I guess :3

Perhaps Marvel should rename this movie Dr. Strange(love) or How I Learned to Love Inception

In all seriousness, I'm pretty hyped for that film. Over under on the probability that Shuma Gorath is the big villain?

Oh, duh. I was trying to think of a trailer that LOOKED like Dr. Strangelove or reminded me of it. can't believe I was that stupid.

What did you think of Rise of an Empire, btw? I actually kind of liked it, but couldn't compartmentalize my feelings about it.

It's extremely good, but definitely tricky since it doesn't have (as much of) 300's hyperbolic cartoonishness. A lot of it is dryly intellectual - reliant, to some extent, on your foreknowledge of the actual history. So, you know, you have one of the fathers of democracy literally lusting after this despotic Alien Queen (equated, as she is, with his nightmare-vision of monstrous sea serpents).

Of course the reality was rather more mundane - but the whole point of the 300 series is to flip subtext into text. I like that it deflates 300 by recontextualizing it into just one flashback among dozens. The sheer number of flashbacks-within-flashbacks is impressively absurd.

The Thor logo is a bit concerning - I hope this isn't Marvel doubling down on retro nostalgia. Guardians is enough.

while on the whole I'd be against Marvel doing that, if we get Thor 3: Blood Dragon out of it I'm gonna be absurdly goddamn happy

one of these Marvel movies just taking an 80s aesthetic and revelling in it would unironically loving own, the nouveau-80s aesthetic may be "played out" but I am still a huge mark for it

I've been excited for Doctor Strange for a long time and the trailer finally showed the reality-bending that I wanted.

But in one trailer/poster Wonder Woman has usurped it. Goddamn.

If there's one concept that is suited to the full-80s metal treatment, it is frickin' Ragnarock.

Look, I don't like the White Stripes, so I thought it was a bad cover. That's why I was asking the question.

I mean jesus, they have a villain named Steppenwolf and they go with the loving White Stripes. That's some cosmic stupidity right there.

Edit: there's been enough terribl covers of good songs in movies lately that it was my first thought.

A lot of those new scenes are great. It makes explicit what you'd have to extrapolate in the theatrical cut. It changes the courtroom scene completely too. Some scenes probably could have stayed cut, though. Like the forensics lady (minus her phone call) and the saucier bathroom stuff. Brevity and all that.

The only aspect that keeps disappointing me in the trailers is Harley Quinn. Maybe the character works better in full context, but all of her dialogue has been pretty dreadful so far. Otherwise, I am boarding the hype train.

I'm pretty alright with a soundtrack choice that's not the blindingly obvious. I love Black Sabbath but having Iron Man played up and down in the Iron Man trailers and movie kinda rubbed me the wrong way. It's about something entirely else :argh:

I really, really want Suicide Squad to be good, but from everything I've seen it's trying to hit a certain over-the-top tone that's actually pretty hard to hit but seems easy, and that's not usually a good sign.

I agree I like all the casting and scenes so far from everybody except Harley. I really don't like the look or her dialogue. It's really on the nose and trying too hard which is surprising when she's beside what looks like the same Joker but he really is blowing me away with how good he is.

Chris Hemsworth nudity would probably make it the highest grossing film of all time.

Jeff Goldblum should probably keep a little mystique though.

One trick in Dawn Of Justice is that a lot of the 'normal humans' are given superhero-like traits to reflect their hidden potentials. Like, you have a guy named Wally given a futuristic wheelchair to let him 'stand for something', which is reflected in the later Cyborg clip.

Malone's celebrity cameo status, too-perfect blonde hair and Clark Kent glasses make her look like she should be batgirl or something, but she's really 'just' a crime-lab technician.
