Wonder how it will work with it based in the 90's, before any cool superheros are active. Means they will likely just turn into reggo people and fight her.

Looks more like it's her beating the poo poo out of Thor and calling out divine pecking order. Then later he gets an infinity stone and brings the thunder(actually lightning, but for they always go with the thunder title).

Captain Cold literally picked one of the few people in the DCU who could, actually, honestly go back in time, gently caress his mom and punch his dad in the dick until he ceases to exist. And the only thing he has to take him on with is a goddamn freeze ray. He is a hero and a scholar

DC Murderverse posted:my working theory is that it has to do with the TV shows that Fox is making. Like, Marvel is loosening the reigns on stuff adjacent to the mutant world in exchange for use of Super Skull. I'm assuming you're talking about Gifted? I grew up in the early 90's where X-Men was inescapable, and it was an indelible part of my childhood, but it's like, I'm fine with this? Like X-Men is so inherently bloated and convoluted that it almost feels like it works better on its own. Don't get me wrong; I'd love to see Wolverine get Fastball Special'd by the Hulk, or Cyclops and Captain America go nose-to-nose, but if the X-Men never came to the MCU... I dunno. I think I'd be okay with it. That being said: I want nothing more than to see Doctor Doom tangle with the Avengers. I know that the dude behind Legion is working on something with Doom, but if Marvel is moving pieces to get ahold of Fantastic Four-adjacent properties just to get Doom back, holy butts. Throw Mads Mikkelson under that mask, and let's really make Phase Four something to talk about. EDIT: And I know he was the baddie in Dr. Strange. Literally don't care. He's just that perfect for the role. Tart Kitty fucked around with this message at 06:09 on Jul 23, 2017 |

My theory is that someone at Fox forgot to properly hyphenate Super-Skrull on a key document and they just noticed now. Hilariously Super-Skrull was actually in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, but for the upcoming Marvel vs. Capcom game Disney dropped the hammer and it can only have Marvel characters that are also potentially going to be in the MCU and no X-Men/anything so fan favorites of Capcom's Marvel games like Magneto and Dr. Doom are gone.

Oh and Leonard Snart invented his freeze gun with no background in well any kind of science because he was pissed off at the Flash. Like think about that this guy was just a run of the mill street criminal who got caught by the Flash then decided to just gently caress him up and invented a freeze gun by reading about some poo poo in a Popular Science magazine.

Thor 3 looks good, but at least partially because it's depicting an interesting thing, rather than depicting it interestingly. It'll end up like Doctor Strange, where an infinite hallway constantly shifting in defiance of reality or causality was just used for a completely linear chase sequence. We'll get a bunch of fantastic costumes, sets and creatures shot from a medium distance with low contrast, just like all the other films. Also, nice to see 'in control Hulk' smashing yet more of his allies through things.

I've been out of the loop most of the day, but that Ragnarok trailer looked really good to me. Thor 1 was fantastic and The Dark World was bad, but Ragnarok looks, at least so far, like the best of the three. Thor, Valkyrie, and Hela all have extremely good looks going on. Justice League looks boring still, but that's to be expected. Flash seems like he will be the highlight of the movie though, I could possibly be convinced to watch his solo film. Have they said anything about releasing the Infinity War trailer? I'm really curious to see anything from the movie. Also I saw Valerian today. The visuals were worth the price of admission alone, and the weirdness of the movie was a big draw for me. I didn't really care for Valerian but Laureline was okay. I feel like I should see it again at some point because I have a toothache and it made it hard to focus on the movie. Not as good as The Fifth Element, but few movies are.

Al Borland Corp. posted:Oh yeah, Suicide Squad was trying to ape Marvel because it used pop songs like Guardian of the Galaxy, which was the first film to ever use pop songs or have quirky characters. It wasn't made with that intention but when the marketing team cut that second trailer, which was very different from the first one in tone, they were also hired to deliver an edit of the movie that was more in that spirit (and supposedly Ayer had to reshoot more scenes that fit it, despite what he claimed at the time). In the end you get a movie that was rushed to start with and then changed part way through and just comes off looking really weak.

I can't believe I'm hype for a Thor movie. The last two where utter garbage,and I really shouldn't get my hopes up, but man, that trailer was soooo good! Hemsworth still remains the weakest link though, he just seems so dull and uncharismatic, but everything else looks amazing.

By the way, something I just learned today is that Supermans emblem in BvS had a quote from Joseph Campbell, "Where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world.", written on it in Kryptonian.  The full quote is "Furthermore, we have not even to risk the adventure alone; for the heroes of all time have gone before us; the labyrinth is thoroughly known; we have only to follow the thread of the hero-path. And where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; and where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world."

DeimosRising posted:Dude you're high. I wish, but... What's occurring is actually the opposite of what Snowman is describing. The content of the imagery is boring, because it's decadent fantasy bullshit. But the lighting is not "diffused," it is not soft or evenly dispersed over the entire image. There are obviously certain sources which are providing a lot of light, but this is motivated by the setting, which is either Asgard (the golden space city) or Planet X (the land of misfit toys, where everything is just an excuse for decadence and distraction). For instance, this shot of Goldblum and his guards  The primary source of light is coming directly from screen right, which creates subtle but nonetheless distinct shadows that are themselves complemented by the decadent absurdism of the costume design. If there's a primary source of any 'diffusion,' it's the backlighting from the huge window overlooking the sky and cityscape - but even hear we get a very overt balance between the primary light source screen-right and the shadows as they play across the sky. The symmetrical designs and curvature in the window itself further 'break up' the image, allowing the light to be refracted in interesting ways that aren't necessarily, strictly 'logical' or 'motivated,' because the characters themselves are decadent man-children. Goldblum isn't even composed in the center of this framework. His costume, throne, his guards, and even his loving hair all match the pattern in the window, but they are all framed ever so slightly off from this pattern. The point is that the characters are insanely particular, but also non-committal. Goldblum is a fashion perfectionist, but also a total goon who projects an unquenchable desire to be liked, not merely 'respected' or 'feared.' The most diffused lighting among these images comes with this two-shot of Thor and Loki.  But even here we can see how the apparent softness of the image has a kind of motivation - and we continue to see a very deliberate complement between the ostensibly absurd and arbitrary design of the environment, and the more defined characters. Whereas the circuits that guide Loki's movements extend downwards, following his diminutive and slouching composure, the ones around Thor extend upwards and complement his more dominant posture and broader physique. As with the throne room shot, the interplay between the set design and composition creates an asymmetrical tension, betraying immediately that Thor and Loki are not actually in any danger. They authentically enjoy the decadent prison to which they've been taken. It's nonsense, but it's well-composed nonsense.   With the first of these two shots, we can see how un-apt the charge of 'diffusion' is. The lighting on this mook is not diffused. He's primarily being lit from the front, obviously, but in opposition to the throne room scene or the 'softer' two shot of Loki and Thor, the production design and lighting of the environment around him are "thinner," the simple greenish-blue vertical lines with even thinner lights (still composed just off-center, complementing his clear state of agitation as he proudly displays a pair of very conventional and not at all sci-fi looking guns, which is a great gag in and of itself) give expression to the character's 'narrower' motivations and objectives. In accordance with this, he is not a 'soft' figure, like the heroes Loki/Thor, or the impotent man-child Goldblum. Every aspect of him is in critical focus, from the sheen of sweat on his brow, to the contours of his head tattoos, to the vein popping from his head, right down to the subtle imperfections in his chest plate armor. His texture and distinction are immediately evident. In the second shot, more off-center composition, more lighting from screen-right with subtle shadows playing across the oblong and broken shapes scattered in the environment. But the same oblong and broken shapes that buttress Hulk's enormous presence and squeeze the rigid Thor into the very center of the pathway's track towards the horizon, also gracefully accept Thompson and Hiddleston's flowing hair and billowing capes. It's a very beguiling shot that doesn't just portray the characters as a 'team,' or whatever. What we get is the submission of the apparently arbitrary environment to the particular eccentricities of the characters, and thus a very succinct clarification of why/how they will work together. It's a spectrum: We go from the rigid and domineering Hulk to the wispy Loki, virtually cradled between the curves and the broken environment. Even the bodies in the frame are blocked to complement this.  This is just a good shot. Very similar to the one before of Hulk et al. on the pathway. There's a lot of compositional elements at work here, and a lot of them are either brightly colored or create a bright light source, but there is nonetheless a very smooth gradient from left-to-right, the arc of the crashed spaceship matching the blocking of the bodies around Thompson. Hell, we even finally get some centered composition here, as opposed to off-center. I wonder what this could be communicating about Thompson's character relative to all the male characters and how they've been composed.  Again, the lighting here is not diffused. We can infer that there's something at work in the environment which is creating certain spaces of spotlight relative to spaces of shadow.   I'm basically just repeating myself at this point, but, again, this is not diffused lighting. It's not Snyder-contrast, certainly, but it's also not soft or even dispersed. The texture and distinction of elements within the composition are vivid.
