zoux posted:Here's a video from November about Marvel's color grading problems. First he says it is not the camera and show films with vibrant colours shot on the same camera,and later on a switch of the camera should fix it? If there is something to fix. Seems more a artistic choice that makes the movies set in the same continuity to look similar, for better or worse. Because I doubt after 15 films with very professional colour graders and cinematographs the problem never was noticed. Decius fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Jun 23, 2017 |

Just set FF in the late 60's/early 70's and it make it a period piece. Throw in the inter dimensional stuff and *boom*. A decent FF movie for once. Go full out with it and color it with elements of the time period. Also, I think it'd be great if they did a Plastic Man movie at this point and play up the idea of him being a full blown celebrity with no secret identity at all who goes on talk shows, has his own reality TV show and YouTube channel, Twitter feed, video games and a merchandising wing, etc. I think it'd be a refreshing take on the superhero genre and a natural of extension of what Deadpool was able to accomplish. Something like The Mask, Hancock or Spiderman's first ideas about how to use his powers but more modern and with more unapologetic hubris where Plastic man absolutely relishes his celebrity status. Make the crime fighting element a very minor element of what he does (if he does it all) and just explore the sheer power fantasy element of it, which, let's face it, is what most people would do if they had super powers. He could be macking chicks and showing up at high profile events, making crude jokes about his "stretching powers" and "Elongation", stretching is arms around 8 Penthouse pets in photos ops, going on Howard Stern, the cover of Rolling Stone, "throwing" out the first pitch form the top row in the center field bleachers, presenting an oscar by stretching his head from offstage to the podium, doing PPV specials...all sorts of cheesy poo poo where he's just cashing in on the fame and counting money, living it up and showing off. Eventually, maybe people get tired of him and the backlash sets in. Then the "superhero" part comes in where he has a personal crisis or a stake in a dangerous situation that matters and effects him personally and he sort become a hero by having to use his powers for something other than his own personal and financial gain. I think it'd be a lot of fun and a refreshing take on a genre that's getting a little stale. I dunno. I'd watch that.

Mr Hootington posted:This is Booster Gold To be even more precise it's Elongated Man. Elongated Man's entire gimmick when he was first introduced is that he was the very first 'public' superhero and had no secret identity. (This is why he was chosen for Identity Crisis in fact.) He was a supporting cast member for Barry Allen but the fact that he was a minor celebrity who ended up marrying a rich debutante and in general did very well for himself as a public superhero was a big part of his character.

Cool. Then let's make a Plastic Man movie like that, gaudy costume and all. I was pretty sure the idea had been explored in comics somewhere so let's make a film.

Mr Hootington posted:This is Booster Gold Yeah, and that's why I think a Booster Gold movie or series would be so good. The character was ahead of his time when introduced in 1987 -- one of the only superheroes I can think of who didn't have purely altruistic motives (kinda like Spider-Man if he never suffered any consequences after letting that original burglar go free). He was a disgraced athlete in the 25th Century, who was busted for gambling on his own football games (even though he needed the money to help his poor family, after his father abandoned them). He stole his costume and equipment from a museum where he worked as a janitor and traveled back to our time to become a celebrity superhero, using his knowledge of future events to do good deeds, solve crimes, and further his career. This earned him the distrust of more traditionally altruistic heroes, and even though he joined Max Lord's Justice League, he was always dismissed as a joke. The thing is, Booster proved time and time again he was a good man, even if he didn't always act like it. He often did the right thing, even when it harmed his image, lucrative endorsement deals, or celebrity status. I think now more than ever, in this age of complicated cable TV antiheroes, misbehaving reality stars, shallow Internet celebrities, and icons being revealed as phonies and frauds, the time is right for a redemptive story like Booster's. Who wouldn't be able to relate to him, at least a little, as he looks out for Number One, playing the hero as he chases fortune and fame? It would be a wish-fulfillment story for some, then the audience would turn on him when other characters in the story do, only to marvel at his redemption and self-sacrifice when he realizes what really matters and does the right thing.

This sounds great, whether it's Booster Gold, Plastic Man, Elongated Man or whoever. I know jack poo poo about Booster Gold so there's that. I prefer Plastic Man just because I think the effects would be entertaining and, applied properly, would add to the character and the "wow, look at what HE can do element" that would be vital to selling the character's popularity and making him visually unique and help him go viral. poo poo, if they make it a trilogy, have the main character run for President as a send up on Trump. Plastic Man could grow his own tie and make it red and do the crazy comb over poo poo with his hair. I'm gonna take a break and go write a treatment now.

Marvel has confirmed some characters for Spider-Man. Donald Glover is Aaron Davis (the Prowler from Ultimate who was Miles' uncle), there are 2 Shockers and Michael Mando is playing Mac Gargan. Jennifer Connelly has also joined the cast.quote:With Spider-Man: Homecoming less than two weeks out, Sony Pictures has issued the official cast list, revealing the additions of both Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Connelly (Hulk) to the cast. Paltrow will be reprising her role as Pepper Potts for the first time since 2013's Iron Man 3 while Connelly returns to world of superheroes as a character named "Karen/Suit Lady," which could hint at a possible S.H.I.E.L.D. connection since Spidey has no prominent Karen in his life (unless it's an obscure reference to Karen O'Malley from the Spider-Man: Unlimited animated series).

Is the Prowler really a villain? I feel like he was a villain for maybe like half an issue, trying to steal back money his boss cheated him out of, but never hurt anyone and immediately teamed up with Spider-man

Also, apparently the Dark Phoenix casting call has Dazzler on it for a small role, because fans of characters love it when they see them in a five second cameo.
