For a fat minute BvS would auto-correct to Beavis, so with the higher proportion of folks liking Zack Snyder movies on these forums, it was inevitable that it was gonna catch on as a cult-term of endearment.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:I liked Dr. Strange. My wife felt that Benedict Cumberbatch should really not do the quips, he sounds like he's just reciting them. Whereas RDJ sells that he's just spontaneously riffing them off. I get that. I thought he was fine, and did a perfectly good job. But I couldn't get behind him as that character for no rational reason at all...he's 100% right for the role in some academic sense, but he didn't have some amorphous quality that I can't identify. I'm being completely capricious about it. I can't really unpack why. Pretty much every *other* character was phenomenally cast, though. Chiwetel Ejiofer is just goddamn amazing in everything. Mads Mikkelson is, too. Benedict Wong kills it as Kublai Khan and was fun in this. And despite people's whitewashing complaints about Tilda Swinton, I loving loved her in it. Maybe that's why...Cumberbatch was perfectly sufficient while the other characters were really interesting choices. After the shitstorm people raised about Swinton, though, I'm eagerly awaiting the chaos of trying to do Brother Voodoo. "Haitian voodoo sorcerer" seems like even more of a minefield than "Fu Manchu stereotype."

Jericho Drumm is a very superhero sounding name so they don't have to call him Brother/Doctor Voodoo if they don't want to. But they can give him a different type of magic as opposed to what Strange and crew use, which would be cool to see.

I mean, it's pretty obvious that they mucked around with Suicide Squad, but that's one movie. Prior to that they've always been very chill. Superman Returns is exactly what Singer wanted. And I'm not sure Martin Campbell (Green Lantern) even has a style to infringe on.

The Ultimate Edition feels more like Snyder's movie than the theatrical one, to be honest. I like the theatrical cut but it did feel like it was a movie that was missing scenes and the infamous Justice League montage sandwiched between two very dramatic scenes felt like meddling since it's the only edit that felt really out of place in the whole film.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:- Inhumans is still happening. Rumors that it is permanently canned are not true. It "will happen for sure." But won't commit to a release date. The problem there was first Ant-Man got a sequel so the movie got pushed back THEN Disney green-lit Indiana Jones 5 something like a week before Inhumans was set for release. It got too crowded so Feige said they were putting it on the backburner for now. People thought it was cancelled (typical Internet nobodies not paying attention) when in reality Marvel is just trying to find a slot for it. They pretty much have to make it at this point because the Inhumans are very prominent in Agents of SHIELD and a big subplot right now is the Sokovia Accords raising hell on them in the show.

Haha. Oh yeah, they HAVE to if Agents of Shield is bringing them up. Hahahaha. I think you could have easily made an Ancient One be asian if it were still written similarly to how the current one was. It would only be problematic if they made him old, wizened with a fu manchu and terrible accent. It was nice there was a (sorta) diverse community within the school, too.

There's also a big question as to whether the Sokovia Accords on the TV show are even the same thing as the ones in the movie, since they seem to be about very different things.

The Hollywood Reporter is saying that Bryan Singer is officially done with the X-Men series, and Simon Kinberg is leading the effort to basically do a soft reboot of the franchise (isn't that what Days of Future Past and Apocalypse were supposed to be?), with everything hinging on whether or not they can get the trio of McAvoy, Fassbender and Lawrence signed to new deals. If they can't, they're going to look at things like New Mutants and X-Force.

Just start over. A movie with the original five against Magneto and the Brotherhood. Throw Havok and Polaris in there, maybe, or retool the plotline with Magneto forcing powers onto someone innocuous like Mimic. Stinger with Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, and Nightcrawler. It writes itself.

Great, replace one hack with another. At least Singer only hosed up one franchise. It's ridiculous that they wouldn't just being in a new creative team from scratch.

They seem to throw everything into the fire when an X-Men film isn't 'good.' The cast literally does not matter. Another reboot with another Cyclops/Jean/Storm/X/Mystique/etc etc will always be a constant apparently.

They should use this thing for a new X-men movie, it is like a script and storyboard all in one, and it even has little drawings of what the costumes should look like.
