I said making a joke of a movie about awful people that were real life murderers was in poor taste and was worse than making a joke of a movie about robots.

The long form article that Pain and Gain is based on was good, and anyone who liked the movie should set aside some time and read it!

I like the parts of Jane in Asgard, And the portal stuff in the final battle is fun. Oh and the Dark Elf attack on Asgard is pretty good, but that's like maybe 30 minutes of the movie.

ToastyPotato posted:Dunno about Phoenix because I haven't heard much (outside of it being delayed), but with New Mutants, a huge chunk of the movie had to be reshot because apparently Fox freaked out about the tone of the actual film vs. what was intended? Or something to that effect. I've heard everything from Fox wanted to add connections to some other X projects or something, or that Fox panicked at the reception of the trailer and wanted the movie reshot to meet people's apparent expectations. I think they either added, removed or significantly changed a character as well, IIRC. New mutants was originally a full horror movie, Fox then flipped and rewrote the movie to be more like the traditional comic book movie; between positive reception of the initial trailer cut and the success of “It” made fox change their mind again to the point were supposedly 50% of the movie had to be reshot and rumors of adding a new character.

I remember watching Thor 2 and being amazed at how much good screentime they were giving to Freyja before realizing "Oh, it's because they're going to murder her."

First trailer for Runaways S2, new trailer for Titans (Netflix has picked it up internationally, hence their branding): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgAgH775jDo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2nN_CC-Us8 Runaways looks fine, and it looks like there'll be more powers this season. Titans trailer is much better than the first, but I can't get past the fact that they're teasing a romance between characters who are played by a 14-year-old and a 23-year-old. Did the showrunners just not think through the ramifications of casting Raven so much younger than the other three leads?

In the comic, Raven used her power to make Kid Flash fall in love with her and it goes on for a bit. Wolfman trying his hardest to ape Claremont, I suppose.

Runaways shows promise, but who knows if all those effects/action scenes are actually the only ones, so I am not getting my hopes up. Titans still doesn't look very good and lol at Starfire having that terrible costume the entire time.

Runaways is dropping all the episodes at once this year which I have hopes will make it a better show (S1 was better in binge than weekly imo). The preview image that Titans trailer is using makes Raven look like she's in a bad SNL skit. It looks like she's in a bad wig with an oversized poncho on.

So I guess they are going with Dick being Robin well into his 20s? Because I don't see how he is getting a job as a cop in a major city, let alone a detective, as a teenager.

The Titans poster (particularly Robin) looks sort of like someone only saw the "serious" parts of the Teen Titans Go episode "Let's Get Serious" and thought it looked awesome. (Underrated line from that episode, by the way, is Serious Beast Boy's "I can't smile any more.  ")

You used to be able to find it online, someone in CineD did a lengthy write-up on it years ago, it's terrible. Comisionar Gordon accidently shot Batman while trying to shoot the Joker.
