X-O posted:Before Netflix brought together all this stuff and cable was the only option there were cries for years that people wanted to pick and choose which channels they pay for on an individual basis. And that was before streaming backlogs of shows were even a thing, this was just the actual commercial driven network channels. A la carte cable subscription was the dream and now you're all getting it.

Well, either way, I presume it's all part of Bob Iger's plan to become president, which I'm sure he's absolutely, definitely still planning to (maybe) do, probably (who knows?).

I'm not entirely sure what we're on about here in the comic book movie thread but I'll take the current model of whatever Netflix, Hulu and Amazon are doing over a $150-200/month cable bill for poo poo I never watched or wanted. As far as money paid for content delivered, I don't think things have ever been better, especially when you factor in poo poo like YouTube, Spotify, Itunes, movies from loving vending machines and online news. That's even ignoring how great and awesome it is to be able to locate free porn to beat off to no matter what you''re into. We live in a golden age where you can basically watch almost anything you want when you want to as long as you have an internet connection. Anyway...I heard there's some comic movies coming out soon or something.

The golden age is over, this is the beginning of the descent. From earlier: Kai Tave posted:
this a million times. A romance between Clint and Nat is stupid and bad. Them being work buddies that trust each other, have the other's back is great. This is not When Harry Met Sally, men and women can actually just be friends. Also: Dad sweater Hawkeye is the best loving thing, and I love MCU Clint just being this guy who doesn't have time for all this bullshit because his kid has a science project he needs help with and his wife wants help renovating their porch, and other grossly mundane stuff like that.

The earlier suggestion of making a hypothetical Hawkeye movie into a family movie the way Spider-Man: Homecoming was a John Hughes-esque high school movie, I mean, I feel like getting it right would require the perfect director and script but I would absolutely be down for the adventures of Hawkeye, Dadvenger. Have him and his family temporarily move to the suburbs somewhere because his wife gets offered a job and oh no, it turns out the neighbors are a deep cover Hydra cell! Clint has to miss his kids' PTA meeting to go chase badguys so he calls up "Aunt" Natasha to cover for him. Seriously, someone at Marvel needs to make this movie.

Something along the lines of The 'Burbs with Tom Hanks, where they're relocated and Clint *thinks* his neighbors are hydra, but everything turns out innocent until about midway through the third act where we find out that no, they are spies! Or not. Basically turn the third act into a total farce like the How to Cook for Forty Humans bit.

Lurdiak posted:The guy is still the best part of those movies so I don't really much care if he got the nerd tat or not. It's asking a whole loving lot of an actor to also basically be a stuntman. Actually no he loving isn't. What he and/or the writers did with Gimli's character, ie turning him into a slaptstick comic relief, was the worst thing in the whole trilogy.

So there's rumors Ares is in Thor 3, I wonder if that's Sam Neill's mystery character. That would make 2 respected actors playing Ares in comic book movies.

AFAIK we haven't seen Sam show up in any promos or shots, so if I had to guess he's probably some CG character/voice work acting. Do we know who is voicing Surtur? I mean, we're gearing up for Thanos and dipping into the cosmic stuff. Could he be Eternity (which could be pretty baller), or one of the other Powers? Cause I mean, the art and style of "not War World" looks like a love letter to Kirby as it is, and I would lose my mind at seeing big screen Eternity.

Mr. Krabs is voicing Surtur. Neil was on set (that doesn't mean he couldn't be mostly CGI, though) and they are deliberately refusing to name him or feature him in any promo material, so the assumption is that he is someone who would be a spoiler by being named.

Ares is definitely in the film. The latest trailer showed a statue to past arena legends. Beta Ray Bill, Man Thing, Ares and Bi-Beast can clearly be seen. I think that might be the extent of their involvement.

It was announced in like March. Soonmot posted:Is there anyone who gives even half a poo poo about Silver Sabel? No, which should mean that they'll be trying to make an actual good movie instead of relying on a popular name. They're starting well with the director at least. But it's still Sony.
