I'm not sure why everyone is hype for the Aquaman trailer or what they're seeing that I'm missing . I actually reversed myself and went from being excited early on to disinterested now but I still think it's gonna be hilarious when this one and Wonder Woman turn out to be DC's two largest successes in their universe films.

Venom was fun and dumb in varying amounts, but Hardy's Eddie Brock voice kept making me think of Bobcat Goldthwait.

I think the Aquaman trailer definitely makes it look like one of the DC movies that I might actually enjoy watching but the idea that it makes Marvel movies look like "70s Marvel" or whatever Mark Millar is on about is pretty laughable.

Aquaman looks like it's going to be, at best, a good bad movie. Like Masters of the Universe.

I know people really like Jason Momoa because he's handsome and seems like a real fun dude to hang out with but I've never seem him.... act well.

Dave Bautista and Chris Hemsworth couldn’t act before they were cast either and they’re like the best parts of their teams now.

Uh Bautista could totally act before Guardians. Plus I've already seen Jason Momoa as Aquaman and it wasn't exactly Drax.

Hemsworth's roles prior to Thor were a shity soap, the best bit of the first Star Trek reboot and (technically) Cabin in the Woods. He was basically unknown before Thor. Momoa's been an angry warrior guy in Stargate Atlantis, an angry warrior guy in Game of Thrones and an angry warrior guy in Justice League. How he will handle the role of Aquaman isn't some great mystery.

The CGI in Aquaman looks bad and Amber Heard's wig is terrible. But it looks fun and if the action sequences are as clear as the rooftop thing then it has a chance.

Just got back from Venom, agree with the general consensus. With the comparisons to Ang Lee's Hulk I was expecting to be disappointed in the powered lapdog category, but was pleasantly surprised.

Venom was really fun? It has problems. The editing in the movie is atrocious. That's not even something I normally notice, but man. In the first hour, Brock's hair changes color with every scene transition. Obviously they filmed the stuff with Ron Cephas Jones first, because Hardy's hair is jet black. Every other scene it's varying levels of faded. It was annoying. Also the climax is bad in that Wonder Woman kind of way. Like the movie starts to fall apart completely, but they hurry up and end it before things can get bad. I dunno, I'd watch it again on Netflix. I'd watch it before either Iron Man sequel or Thor 2 or even the aforementioned Wonder Woman if I'm honest. Seriously though, they better up their CGI and choreographing if we're going from Riot to Carnage. I wasn't impressed.

And awesome bro! all I can think of "you just want your heroes to be all 'i am broody and dark because my soul is the blackest black of the blackest black'". It's a nice change to see a DCU hero that's actually, you know, happy. Even loving Superman wasn't like that until the end of JL.

Not, like, blonde and blue eyes, I want Jason Momoa to be doing his best big ham instead of laid back surfer dude. But yeah I'll agree that however it shakes out, Aquaman doesn't need to be grim and gritty and grounded and other g-words that I'm sure people love.

Drogo and Ronan aren't even close to being the same character though. Ronan's people were genocided (thus is anger and need for revenge) and he was more of a space cowboy who did get some comedic scenes iirc as opposed to the Savage archetype played straight in GOT

He's not wrong. Carnage isn't about gore. He's about being dangerous, unpredictable, and frighteningly violent. You don't need to see the knife-tentacle go in and the blood spray to convey that. Carnage has been in children's television and video games. There is a middle ground. Making him hard R just to be edgy and show the penetration would be dumb.

Yeah at the end of the day Carnage is still a spider-man villain: there’s only so dark you’re allowed to get while fighting a quipster. 90s edgelord poo poo was surprisingly bloodless compared to what came after. 9/11 hosed up everything.

Carnage was shredding people on panel in his first appearance arc. He signed "CARNAGE WAS HERE" on a wall and Spider-man observed that it was written in blood.

What they need to do for the Carnage movie - there's this Howard Mackie Spider-Man story where Cletus Kasady has lost the Carnage symbiote, but he's still determined to be Carnage, so he strips down to his underwear, covers himself head to toe in red paint and runs around New York with a knife and climbing on people's cars. The issue in which this happened had a great cover with Carnage looming over Spider-Man and the tagline "CARNAGE RETURNS" so I was very disappointed by the contents. Anyway, that's what they should do for the Carnage movie.

I always thought it was hilarious what was happening with Venom when Carnage was introduced. Somehow Pete had ended up fighting him on a desert island or something and tricked him into thinking that he'd been killed, at which point Eddie and his pal were instantly chill and placated and seemingly decided to spend the rest of their life there. Like, you've killed Spider-Man at last...all that comes next is sitting around on an island listening to the waves until you die. Then of course Pete shows up and is all "Eddie, sorry but we have a problem...". What a jerk.

Yeah but it was a very tame shredding. I know because I was eleven at the time and I wanted it to be bloodier. Carnage was very much a pg13 version of a serial killer.

I'm not much on Venom but am wise to the character's potential, which always seems to be wasted by dumb motivation. I mean, they can't come up with a better reason for the seething hatred other than "Parker is a good photographer?"

I mean his hatred was because Peter outed his fraud, not so much that Peter was better. But the grudge was done a million times better in the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon. To the point that Eddie was pretty much in the right for his animosity towards Peter.

I was rereading that the other day and the blatant intent on making it a Spider-Man and Venom team-up is pretty hilarious. Carnage is on the loose and Spider-Man's like, "I most definitely need Venom's help on this!" But he knows Venom is going to tear him to ribbons upon seeing him, so he brings Human Torch along as protection. This is a rather bizarre plan since you could just have Human Torch (and his three associates) help out against Carnage instead of poking the bear. At the end of the story, there's this brief mention that having the Fantastic Four outright involved would have made the whole situation more dangerous for bystanders. Maybe you could convince me of that if their replacement wasn't an unhinged mass murderer. Lurdiak posted:What on earth are you talking about? His motivation being lovely is the point!

Eddie Brock is a man who woke up late for work and Spider-Man is every red light he got stuck at on the way.
