I really don't get why they're so fixated on making Mystique super important in these new X-Men movies (besides it being Jennifer Lawrence, which... yeah I guess that makes sense). Also young Xavier comes off as a complete tool all the time.

bring back old gbs posted:How would Freakazoid fit into the current DC cinematic universe? Bummin' me out just not seeing it... >:[ Thats basically what Justice League needs. Teen Titans Go have sort of became a spiritual successor to Freakzoid lately, with multiple episodes commenting on fandom (and hate-dom), cartoon production, and even oddly mature 'lessons' about rental property and expensive colleges.

Xavier is always a tool in the movies and from what I've heard about the comics he's a huge shithead there too.

I had so little interest in X-Men Apocalypse I don't even know if/when I'll see it. Rumors kept talking a Mystique solo movie and to be honest they should have done that before Apocalypse as an 80s styled film. I'm assuming Mystique would have had been seen in a somewhat favorable like post-DoFP in an given what happened, so I was sort of interested in seeing if they would have done some version of something a proto-Suicide Squad/Origins:Wolverine with her. She's aware of the horrible future mutants and humans might face, so she joins up with an 80s era government-sponsored "Freedom Force" and do a bunch of covert (or overt) Cold War superheroics. She could be conflicted about the whole affair, her human handlers, her mutant teammates, etc. but she's trying to believe that at the end of the day she's ultimately helping mutants. If they prove they're all trust-worthy, good little soldiers for the system, they'll eventually be able to get to a point where mutants will have some voice, power and protection in that system and that will do more to mainstream the mutant population than Charles or Erik's visions.

Fox has acquired the life rights to Stan Lee and is preparing a biopic for release in late 2017 or 2018. If it flops, will Marvel have to wait 7 years to do a reboot of Excelsior: The Stan Lee Story? Or will Fox just keep releasing a new Stan Lee movie every decade to keep the rights? Bonus Question: Who will play Stan Lee? I vote for Idris Elba.

I'm going to be legitimately sad when we live in a world where Stan Lee isn't running around yelling "Excelsior!" and pitching weird ideas for new comic IPs that everyone has to listen to because he's Stan Lee. Also, will Ike Perlmutter require whatever actor plays him to have their face blurred every time they appear onscreen?

Who will play Steve Ditko? Someone who knows what it's like to work for himself and not let others feed off the profits of his energy.SuperMechagodzilla posted:Something is very plainly wrong with comic book fans here. It's strange that there's a stereotype Marvel's characters as "human" while DC's are "epic." Yet DC's films are concerned with individual acts of violence, while Marvel is bumbling through problematic treatments of big political issues.

My entire state of consciousness has been preoccupied with how to create a gritty live action Freakazoid for the past 48 hours. all spare mental resources get devoted to this task. Like maybe he gets infected by all social media so he's like a tumblr hitler social justice 9/11 parody video loving guy. Basically the embodiment of that prodromal schizophrenia post from fyad, but with a heart of gold. But how do you make that palatable to the mainstream? Or do you Deadpool it, and let some youtube guy go nuts with 50 mil? No because DC would ever allow an entire film to be made without the fingerprints of middle management all over it. Ohhhhhhh drat so he's cruising the """""dark web"""" searching out the dankest memes that havent caught on w/the mainstream internet yet, trump pepes back in 2014, new spurdos. But Zod takes over every screen on Earth doing his big speech when he calls out Kal El, and The guy gets caught in the deep cyber and transformed into Freakazoid. So the movie can start with a big white title screen: 9/11 x 1000 - THE WORLD IS INTRODUCED TO THE FREAKAZOID since it all takes place during the Metropolis destruction. Just trying to nail down any sort of tone at all is an exercise in frustration. Mentally draining. I will figure it out though. bring back old gbs fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Sep 14, 2016 |

The press release says it is based on the life of Stan Lee, but that it is an action movie set in the 70's. So, I have no idea how somebody decided that had to happen or how it is even based on Stan Lee's life at all. Unless there's something he's been hiding from us...

Also young Xavier comes off as a complete tool all the time. It's pretty clear they signed her for a bunch of movies when she was hardly a star, coming out of that sitcom, but then she blew up and Fox just started seeing dollar signs. She's one of the most bankable stars in the franchise, so of course they prominently feature her. Her contract must be up right? I can't imagine she'd want to do any more.
