I don't think the black order lacks clear motivation, they are just henchmen and serve Thanos. That much is pretty clear

Ebony Maw was better than like 90% of Marvel baddies on his own and probably should have survived.

According to the article, he'll make Suicide Squad 2 (or whatever it's called now) and then Guardians 3. Honestly, his getting hired by a rival studio to make a similar superhero movie makes Disney's reversal of firing him even stranger to me.

Disney's laying the seeds for a Marvel v DC crisis-style crossover. The Disney Marvel/Disney Fox merger will be a test run for the lead up. Captain America/Cyclops team-up will beget a Captain America/Superman team-up. This'll all happen in about 10-15 years so all the performances will be de-aged cg mocap.

Basebf555 posted:Seriously though, it really was Batista who almost single-handedly turned the widespread opinion around on the situation. i'd like to think so, but Disney wanted the Fox merger to close and any tangential drama got BTFO immediately. I'm sure that "quiet conference" with gunn and the Disney ceo were basically "we'll bring you back on post merger". incoherent fucked around with this message at 19:58 on Mar 15, 2019 |

Honestly, his getting hired by a rival studio to make a similar superhero movie makes Disney's reversal of firing him even stranger to me. Honestly, I think two things helped Gunn out: He firstly didn't bad-mouth Marvel/Disney even ONCE during this whole ordeal. He acted the utmost professional and gracious, thanking them for allowing him to work under them in the first place even, while getting immediately snatched up to do "The" Suicide Squad (ugh) showed he was still a hot commodity and maybe the guys in charge of the decision didn't have the proper perspective on it. If WB could shrug off the tweets in an instant to work with him, maybe it mattered less than Disney's execs thought, after all.

Rich Uncle Chet posted:Who is this now? I thought Iger was the one who had Gunn fired I heard it was Alan Horn, and that Iger was simply allowing the person he put in charge of the division to make the call himself, even if he disagreed with it. There's also some talk that someone mis-reported or mis-construed what the situation was when a meeting on the subject took place (saying it was unanimous to fire Gunn when it wasn't)

Fart City posted:The entire finale is Gaurdians Of The Galaxy is a battle for Xandar, a planet we are repeatedly shown to be well-populated, and which is presented as a ruling power in that part of the universe. Its destruction happens before the Marvel Studios logo comes up in Infinity War, and is afforded only a passing reference. The director talked about that after Infinity War came out. Early drafts of the story did open with the fall of Xandar, but they decided to go with the Asgardian opening instead and cut Xandar, on the basis that the movie was already really long, they wanted to open with a direct gut punch to the heroes and viewers, and felt that people weren't terribly attached to Xandar.

I'm glad Gunn is back if only because it means Drax is also coming back/won't be killed off. Bautista is great

quote:After all that, I’d forgive Affleck for never wanting to look at a bat-symbol again in his life. But, despite all this, he’s apparently still quite happy to discuss the character and his future. Entertainment Tonight Canada recently asked him about what he thought was next for Batman, and here’s what Big Ben had to say: https://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/ben-affleck-talks-next-batman-will-like Like, why keep asking Ben about Batman after leaving the role? Also, there's some random site claiming The Flash movie is eyeing November 2019 to start production.

Batman is in a ridiculous place right now and I have zero idea what you do while the spectre of the Nolan Trilogy still haunts the whole place. Like that just IS batman to a lot of people right now and trying to memory-hole it and slot him into the new DC universe tone is just confusing and bad.

I dunno I think after 3 Spider-Men and a bunch of other super heroes rebooting on TVs and movies an etc we are probably in the best place right now where people are going to have the right mindset to just go with it. If they hated Batfleck then presumably they are primed to be willing to accept the alternate direction, especially if they can rationalize it as "the studio giving fans what they really want". If they liked Batfleck then I would guess they are fine with whatever alternate takes on the character.

Yeah Batman occupies a very rare space as a character more akin to James Bond or even Dracula than other comic book characters in that it can be infinitely rebooted and reinvented without losing its pop culture equity.
