What do you guys think Thanos smells like. Is he the type to wipe his space rear end/balls from time to time, a clean freak or a slob?

Farg posted:You have to cleverly update him for the modern age A digruntled special effects artist who can't find work because the studios just want to use CGI seems to be pretty relevant though. Just give him some stolen Stark tech for him to build poo poo with so he can show everyone just how powerful "real" special effects can be. I guess you could also go the other way, and make him a VFX guy who's being worked to death by the studio, because now that there are real aliens and monsters running around, the bar for realism has become insanely high. But then you run into the problem of how to make him a credible threat beyond digitally removing Iron Man's goatee.

He's a practical effects stunt artist who doesn't work anymore because most cinemas now just show documentaries and camera footage about the absolutely insane events of the last decade. The American entertainment industry has been crippled by the world status quo shift.

Mysterio is an American CG effects artist who's out of a job because all the CG work is being shopped around to cheaper Asian studios.

To be fair on The Thing prequel the main reason they had to use CGI isn't that practical effects don't hold up in general but that Amalgamated Dynamics are a bafflingly terrible studio trying to live up to the work of an effects God.

A new Mysterio should be a guy tired of working on effects for superhero movies so he tries to destabilize world governments by spreading fake news videos. But it backfires because the lovely world just makes people crave more escapist superhero movies.

I’m honestly surprised there isn’t a Single Female Lawyer TV version of She Hulk but with superheroics cribbing from Slott’s first run. Which is also the only great thing he did next to Spidey and Torch. Juan Bobillo was hella MVP on art tho.

Yes, it's perfectly suited to a modest budgeted series, but a movie would probably be better. I feel like reliably having a character appear seven feet tall is just a real pain in the rear end in weekly television.
