Well, Kristin Schaal from 2002. She would've been good for a version of the character at some point. But she really doesn't work for the character in the (terrific) current comic which I assume this version will be based on.

There is no shortage of actresses who could be a good squirrel girl. I'm guessing Kristen Schall probably already has too much work to do a freeform show.

I remember LOLing watching Civil War when they gave the casualty count and it was 74 people which is ridiculously low. The first time a number was mentioned was actually in season one of Daredevil, its commented that hundreds were killed when much of Hell's Kitchen got leveled which already felt a little low just from what we saw in Avengers regarding buildings being destroyed but still wasn't totally unbelievable. Then in Civil War when they dropped that number to 74.  The only explanations are that this was a very specific report about how many people the Avengers personally killed by mistake during the battle, OR more likely given that Stark has the resources to allow an entire skyscraper to not be on the grid at all in the middle of NYC, we're in a setting where only Stark Enterprises shareholders count as human beings.

Even if we accept the "oh this is the stuff the Avengers themselves were directly responsible for" then that is a pretty bad ratio. 74 out of "hundreds" means it can be as low as like 10% but more likely even higher than that. So like one out of every 8 people or so that died were because Iron Man wasn't aiming his beams carefully or one of the whales Thor killed landed on a school bus.

Alien invasions are ranked on a scale from "listeria outbreak" to "medium train derailment" and never reach the lofty heights of "12 hours at Stalingrad"

Rewatching Iron Man 2 and I forgot (or never realized) that Elon Musk makes a small cameo. Was he a big deal in 2010? Edit: Tony and Pepper identify him by name and he plays himself in a restaurant.

Paypal might have been the first multi-billion dollar company to come out of the dotcom boom. He's gotten much more famous in the last 5 years or so, though.

Tesla had already come out with the Roadster in 2008, and was launching rockets by the time the movie released through SpaceX. So he was a big enough deal in the tech and automotive worlds that his cameo made sense, especially since he's an Iron Man fan.

UmOk posted:Are the MCU movies interesting? Interesting, sure. But I'd say only a handful are worth re-watching, and of those, only a few worth re-watching more than 1-2 times. For me, Ant-Man, Iron Man 1, Cap: Winter Soldier, Guardians are the ones I can re-watch the most and not get tired of it. I actually couldn't get through Dr. Strange when it came out for streaming because...well, I just couldn't. It is kind of dull. Cap: CW is a decent movie with some really good parts, but it is a bit of a slog to get there. I really hope the gray-dull tint of almost all the movies is going away since that executive Marvel Movie board is dead. Guardians 2 trailer is promising in that regard.

This is basically my list except swap WS with First Avenger, and I actually liked Dr. Strange a lot (haven't attempted a rewatch though). I'm glad they're finally doubling down on more crossovers, it's what makes the "shared universe" potentially interesting and what phase 2 should've been all along.

The first Guardians was really colourful providing you're talking about the CGI (which it had more of than most of the other MCU films) everything in camera had that same dulled look.

FilthyImp posted:Civil War is interesting in that it takes an extremely MAXI-SIZED COMPANY WIDE CROSSOVER MEGA EVENT THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING and turns it into a rather focused character piece (even with Wakanda, Black Panther stuff, it's really about Cap's optimism and willingness to go to bat for a friend, and Tony's guilt/drive to not be the Bad Guy again). Goddamn people are forigving of the MCU. Every week someone finds a new way to be overly generous with praise towards these downright stupid, ugly warmongering films. It's a 'focused character' piece, the same way Winter Soldier is a 'political thriller' and Taco Bell is Mexican food. It has a few of the trappings but is such a clear imitation. Most 'focused character piece' movies don't include Paul Rudd growing eightfold in size and throwing a truck. It's an action movie with a few moments of (badly handled) character work.

well why not posted:Goddamn people are forigving of the MCU. Every week someone finds a new way to be overly generous with praise towards these downright stupid, ugly warmongering films. This is why I asked if they are interesting. There seems to be a consensus that the MCU movies are terrible but for some reason they are constantly talked about.

The few interesting parts of the MCU are the oddities, the incomplete thoughts, and the weird implications that are ignored - like how the villains of Iron Man 3 are disabled people, including war veterans injured in the line of duty. They are depicted as evil and inhuman. That Homecoming will apparently feature working-class people whose livelihoods are threatened as despicable villains really pales in comparison to that.

The veterans are victims, though? Guy Pierce exploits them and happily turns them into bombs, I don't think they'd sign up for that if they had the choice.

What started the trend of Hollywood importing Australian actors that are (relatively) unknown in the U.S. to be leads in major TV shows and movies? I feel like it didn't really start happening until the last 5-10 years or so, but now it seems like every third Hollywood rising star or lead is an Australian playing a non-Australian.

When on the internet there's no consensus about anything, anywhere. e: They are constantly talked about because this is a comic movie thread and they make like 2/3 of them. It isn't like other studios movies don't get talked about at the same time.
