Detective No. 27 posted:I rewatched Guardians 2 last night. I forgot how much Ego's planet resembled the Land of Oz. Nice allusion that suggests not everything is as it seems. The scene where Ego is teaching Peter how to harness energy looks so bad.

Mother Boxes are basically the smartphones/swiss army knives of the gods. Really, that's possibly the best analogy. They're practically sentient, or at least extremely aware of their surroundings and generally know better than most of their users do as to what they should do to be helpful.

So if the motherboxes were left on Earth like thousands of years ago or whatever (or hundreds?) wouldn't that mean that the mother boxes on Earth are like really really old designs? I imagine that whoever makes mother boxes would have a much more advanced one after that much time.

They're ancient items of cosmic-level power and the bad guys need to collect x number of them that are on earth and are protected by/incorporated into members of the superhero team so the heroes must stop them from falling into the wrong hands at all costs. So no, they're not infinity stones, there's no resemblance at all.

Oh, so they're dragon balls! They've kinda made the Mother Boxes more important than their original intent over the past few years. They were kinda just things New God characters used, mostly to open boom tubes and travel from end to end of the universe. And they'd get destroyed from time to time too.

They're plot coupons, the shiny things vaguely yet critically important to the plot.

Hollywood Reporter is confirming that all the Lex Luthor and Iris West scenes in Justice League have been cut. So, those spoilered scenes/plot points from test screenings are probably accurate.

Anyways, Darren Aronofski is still interested on making a Superman film quote:During a recent interview with CinePop, Aronofsky was asked if he’d like to direct a superhero movie one day. He once again expressed his interest in Superman, though he seemed doubtful that he’d get the job any time soon. https://batman-news.com/2017/09/24/darren-aronofsky-man-of-steel-superman/

Dark_Tzitzimine posted:They did? I'm not finding anything at the site. Eh, there's time. Both Bats and Spider-Man have been rebooted. And I say with Matthew Vaughn wanting to make a Superman movie, what DC should do is just let everyone who wants to do one, do one. Have 3 different Superman movies out there. Hell, they've already have a different Superman and Batman between TV and the films.

So you imagine that the writers/directors think that he allegory is clever and original, because Jesus is obviously so old and boring so they should know better. In reality it's just some nerds that find Christianity embarrassing. BravestOfTheLamps fucked around with this message at 06:06 on Sep 25, 2017 |
