TetsuoTW posted:Evans will be out because in a few years those pieces are going to cost more than he does Honestly I think he likes to use that as an easy excuse more than anything else. There are plenty of hair options for Captain America, up to and including just loving shaving his head and owning it as part of the character. Really though I think what it comes down to is these people are human beings who don't want to play the same role 30 times in a row for their entire careers.

I just looked up Before We Go and it seems to have decent IMDB and Google Reviews scores but its Rotten Tomatoes score is at 21%. It also made like $500,000 on a $3 million budget.

Burkion posted:Even though seriously how has Disney not made an animated movie based on it yet I don't think it'd really work well in a movie format, tbh? Like, the Kingdom Hearts experience is playing a really long and dense set of Disney vigenttes bracketed by pulpy anime high drama, coming out exhausted after dozens of hours worth of grinding and hijinks, conferring with your friend, and realizing that you still have no idea what's going on in the broader plot because you've yet to play the PS Vita exclusive interquel gaiden game, Kingdom Hearts AZX: They Shoot Horses, Don't They? And then you all decide to give up on a truly comprehensive understanding and make Organization XIII OCs and complement each other on how cool and badass the OCs are. Also you're all exactly 15 years old I don't think much of this translates well to a movie, unfortunately

I mean at the very least the idea of a crossover between a bunch of tested Disney properties seems like a no brainer after the MCU and RPO. They just need a flimsy excuse to tie things together, and why not Kingdom Hearts.

Burkion posted:Okay let's take a step back here Fritz Lang’s Metropolis? No thanks; I’d rather watch [consulting Marvel marathon schedule] a Rifftrax of the 2012 Total Recall remake?! Well, if that’s canon now... It’s a bit weird and unfortunate that comics fans interpret these films entirely in terms of references to other comics. So, like, Thor is a reference to the Thor comics and The Underminer at the end of The Incredibles is understood purely as a Mole Man reference. The truth is that both Underminer and Mole Man are a reference to the Hollow Earth conspiracy theory. Hollow Earth, as we know it today, originated with John Symmes Jr. (circa 1818, same year as the publication of Frankenstein) as a fantasy of unfettered American imperialism and manifest destiny. Symmes fantasized that an entire alternate - untouched - planet surface that could be accessed through massive gateways at each pole. Symmes heavily promoted his theory, pushing for arctic exploration on the basis that this inner Earth should not remain “a gloomy wilderness [whose] wild flowers have bloomed upon her fertile plains only to be crushed by the foot of the unlettered savage.” This racist fantasy was also, in its way, a fantasy of peace: unlimited American lebensraum without the necessity of war with rival nations. This was long before The Great War. Though considered ridiculous even at the time, Symmes’ theory has had such staying power because it prefigured Star Trek’s “final frontier” and journeys to alternate Earths without recourse to interstellar travel or time shenanigans. (And, of course, it also taps into popular fascination with what discoveries might be hidden beneath the ice at ‘the ends of the Earth’. (See: At The Mountains Of Madness, The Thing, Man Of Steel, etc.)) It’s from this context that Mole Man emerges as an ambiguous figure - both a stereotypical white explorer ‘gone native’ and a futuristic conqueror. But the fact that Hollow Earth is a fantasy of America’s destined future led to the darker turn in later variations. After Symmes, conspiracy theorists began speculating that the conquest of the inner Earth has already been accomplished by the Nazis, or that it was all along inhabited by the alien Greys. (These two views are closely linked - the aliens seen piloting UFOs are considered potentially aryan supermen). So the fantasy is that America failed, that Hitler secretly won, that there is a fascist utopia on the underside of the map (like, literally - you flip the map over, as in Stranger Things). These later variants are a partial inspiration for Avengers’ final ‘Battle Of New York’ - which is also based around Mu imagery (largely borrowed from the movie Atragon), Nazi occultism, the Illuminati, government supersoldier programs, ancient aliens, Stargate experimentation at ‘Area 51’, free energy, etc. As with Hollow Earth, none of these pseudoscientific fantasies and conspiracy theories originated in comics. They have a political and ideological context, without which you’re losing everything.

While that is a hilarious movie, its actually a GI Joe film with the serial numbers filed off. You know, like the Die Hard franchise they just found an old script and replaced some names. Its why Sagat is litterally Destro.

There's definitely iconic poo poo in that adaptation. Like, what can Assassin's Fist claim but a confusion of events? Ryu in the plot of Street Fighter gets really angry before his loss to Sagat. Satsui no Hado isn't "hulking out", it's being a sore loser. So the whole "you have the Satsui no Hado gasp" thing that Assassin's Fist is going for doesn't even work to its advantage. I mean, Vega/Dictator's win quotes in Street Fighter 2, specifically where he talks poo poo about martial artists, technically contradict the portrayal Raul Julia gives, but who loving cares? There's more benefit to being different and having your own uniqueness than presuming to be faithful and still missing the point. Like, the wardrobe in Assassin's Fist ain't good. It's "faithful", but it's faithful to a visual style that was, by and large, reaction to an animated feature. It's "Yellow Spandex" all over again.
