Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Also, full reviews are up for Spider-Man: Homecoming. Very positive overall. 93% on Rotten tomatoes. The conversation in Civil War where Peter is talking about Uncle Bens death and never once mentioning uncle Ben was fantastic, so this pleases me.

The last decade provided not one, but two successful Spider-Man film series. At this point, how many people are still unaware of Peter Parker's origin story? It can't be that many! Furthermore: gently caress origin stories. As a general rule, providing extraneous background exposition for characters is a waste of time. Superpowered characters are no exception, and the sooner everyone realizes that the better off we'll all be. Skippy McPants fucked around with this message at 11:32 on Jul 2, 2017 |

It can't be that many! Extraneous is the key here, because the origin story in MoS was necessary to the story being told. And hell, the Costner scenes were some of the best in a comic book movie. Also it gave Zod some actual motivation beyond "Rarr, gonna smash da Earf!"

Mameluke posted:The real goonsay is demanding Zack Snyder make a Marvel movie. I mean, I'd like to see what Zack Snyder would do with a Marvel property, which one I'm not sure, but it'd be an interesting movie at least. Alternatively do the Avengers/Justice League Crossover Movie with both Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon at the helm of their respective half.

Neo Rasa posted:I think they were smart to have no origin story in this because first it's Spider-Man people know and second Uncle Ben/etc. can be brought up in conversation when he explains it to Thanos seconds before all of existence is wiped clean making him realize that With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility and saving the earth. Actually in this version Thanos is Uncle Ben.

I just saw Wonder Woman this afternoon, and I think covering her origin worked very well for that film. Bat, Super, or Spider, though? We know the drill, get to the interesting stuff.

Steve Yun posted:Venture Bros and Incredibles are making me lean towards thinking any Fantastic Four really needs to embrace its silliness and not try to be serious.  Guess you can't really do that though I didn't actually think the last movie was as bad as the Comic Book Guy hyperbole said it was but it sure was an unfinished mess of a film. Just thought it had some salvageable elements and the hint of body horror type stuff that Trank had in there actually worked for me until the second half went completely poo poo.

According to Marvel, most versions of Reed Richards not from Earth 616 are evil. They should run with that in the MCU, make Reed the new Thanos (as Kang, probably). By the way, WW is now the highest domestic grosser of the DCEU, above BvS. It has also financially surpassed Thor 2, the MCU movie Patty Jenkins had to leave.

They should definitely do something with how immoral/goony Reed can be sometimes but it might be a bit much for the first movie. I think the first thing a F4 movie needs to work is for the cast to have really good chemistry.

Harry Potter in MCU space/multiverse. If you want, start with Franklin and Valeria as they tag along with their parents in a family adventure across the multiverse, with sections that involve Dr. Doom and Namor. Crib from Hickman's interpretations/Future Foundation. Let's try something different than the standard superhero stuff. I'd also love a Planetary Anthology series that explores TV pop culture (versus the comics/print explored in the series).

The funny thing is, back in the 70s when Marvel originally had the Star Wars license, their first ever original Star Wars story after the ANH adaptation was a loose Seven Samurai adaptation. Their version of the seven samurai included Jaxxon the giant green rabbit and a Jedi Knight named Don-Wan Kihotay, and the villain was a parody of Sergio Aragones.

Re: origin stories, i had a discussion with someone who thought mos and bvs didn't explore Supermans motivations, and that they didn't explain why Superman helps people and what motivates him to be good. Doesn't matter that we all know what he is about, unless he looks into the camera and says something inane like "i like savibg people because it makes me feel good" people wont loving get it and scratch their loving head afterwards If anything, Wonder Woman has showed that people want their capemovies nice and simple

McCloud posted:Re: origin stories, i had a discussion with someone who thought mos and bvs didn't explore Supermans motivations, and that they didn't explain why Superman helps people and what motivates him to be good. I think it's sort of the opposite of what that guy argued: pretty much every other depiction of Superman ever made didn't bother exploring the question because the character was literally designed to do good and give hope to everyone around him but MoS and BvS bucked the system by making him actually question his motivations and explore the issue. BvS also put Batman's motivations through a wringer. The problem isn't that the movies didn't explore his motivations, it's that they didn't gloss over them and quickly move on to exciting adventures. People are happy to have their superheroes express doubts about certain things (there's some iconic Spider-Man comics where he turns his back on superheroics) as long as those doubts are along very specific lines and always end with the hero realising that the power was within him all along, all it takes it a good man, being a superhero is awesome, helping people is it's own reward, etc etc.. A movie which has the message "Superheroes don't have it all worked out, they've got to deal with the same poo poo and moral quandaries that everyone does, there's no easy answer to any problem" just won't give people the escapism fix they were probably expecting.

But I didn't get that from Man of Steel at all. Nothing about the film conveyed that the character felt good about saving others. If I have to bring a sense of the character's decency from another source because the movie makes him a tortured and miserable soul who seems to only be burdened by the lives he saves, it's not my fault for not having the proper context for who the character is from an outside source. It's the film drawing the character poorly.

Until he's Superman, saving people doesn't really seem to make him feel good. It makes him feel bad because he knows it's gonna gently caress up his life again, but he does it anyway because it's the right thing to do. Once he becomes Superman, he starts to be able to do good things without being punished for it, and I think it's pretty obvious when he saves the Mexican kid that he likes that experience. He could easily just drop the kid off and fly away immediately if he didn't like the attention at least a little bit.

Yeah, that's why he looked so pained and tortured during those moments with the Mexican kid, when he seemed to have the entire world on his shoulders and had to pay penance for it. Not because he feels the weight of being revered as a deity by people who don't empathize with his plight because they consider him God-made-flesh, it's because he loves it and just wants to savor it.
