I am fairly certain that everyone who makes cgi for movies is the nephew or child of a film executive or high ranking member of the Chinese government and that explains the state of modern blockbusters.

old cap showing up at the end makes no sense since the movie already established that time travel creates alternate timelines and doesn’t affect the one being traveled from the entire premise of the movie would be pointless if they could just travel back and stop thanos in infinity war

for superman to work i think you'd have to make it just a bog-standard alien invasion film so you can have him flying around zoom schoooo and punching aliens whack biff and shooting eye lasers at their ships pew pew pew and basically avoid any social commentary or moral lessons or whatever because the character completely falls apart when you have to try and explain him plausibly existing in contemporary american society. basically independence day but with superman punching all the aliens. don't do grim-n-gritty, don't try and use him as a metaphor for immigration, don't touch any morality beyond "alien monsters want to destroy the earth = bad". just give me 2 hours of gonzo special effects while superman blows up alien space ships and punches monsters in the mouth

Why won't they just adapt the death of Superman if they need some kind of slightly dark take on him to get a movie green-lit

Ghost Leviathan posted:Spider-man's actor iirc didn't know it was a funeral scene and thought it was a wedding the way that scene is shot with everyone in each franchise standing like 10 feet apart from every other group, i could 100% believe it's a composition image where everybody was shot on separate green screens and then added in post. my wife and i were both super bummed that captain marvel simply didn't exist for 95% of the film. she gets introduced out the gate like "oh poo poo she's going to be important" and then has one poochie-style "my home planet needs me" line of dialogue and disappears for almost the entire movie. then when she finally comes back, she's powerful enough to singlehandedly destroy thanos' entire fleet, but somehow struggles to best him in hand-to-hand combat. i know superhero movies always struggle with presenting consistent power levels for the cast, but she goes from blowing up space ships to losing a fist fight in the span of like 60 seconds, which felt especially jarring.

Isn’t the death of Superman story little more than an extended WWE match that ends with Superman dying? What I’m saying is it’s not nearly convoluted enough to be a superhero movie.

i honestly liked how straightforward a story it was, it added to the urgency that supes honestly didn't have time to look into why the crisis was happening though i understand a lot of dumb backstory got filled in after the fact it'd work much better as the multi-part climax of a series or season than a stand-alone movie

They could make an All-Star Superman movie but that would involve DC being brave enough to kill him off Especially since the inevitable Reign of the Supermen sequel wouldn't have any Henry Cavill until the last fifteen minutes

coathat posted:It cool that captain America purposely let 9-11 happen Ok it's time to tell my favorite 9/11 in media story There's this absolutely stupid books called the president's vampire. It's about how Andrew Jackson pardoned a vampire and had a voodoo priestess bind him to serve the office of the president and now the vampire fights spooky poo poo for America. It's wild dumb. I love it. He didn't stop 9/11 because an angel stabbed him into a wall with a flaming sword. Ok He did however kill bin laden in like, 04, and during the fight bin laden turned into a reptiloid thanks to Gene treatments using innsmouth poo poo Also the last boom was like six years ago and it ended with not Cheney nerve gassing not bush because he was mad that the literal Shadow govt cut his rear end off

Death of Superman is one of those comic things that's actually super mediocre even at the time and adaptations tend to be better by rightly cutting the incredible amounts of chaff. Was actually a theme in the 90s of 'Hero dies/gets taken out of action and replaced by a dark edgy antihero', even Wonder Woman had Artemis, and Knightfall ended up being a stealth pisstake of sorts, since Azrael is pretty unstable from the word go, though also interesting since he has his own thing going on as a mystical religious fanatic. While Reign of the Superman mixes things up with a bunch of different Supermen with different styles and motivations, including Steel who actually goes full on shining hero as much as he can.

Black Widow trailer dropped. Gonna be a hyprocrite and be another rear end in a top hat with an opinion on the MCU. Black Widow is the perfect mix of "getting sick of Scarlett Johansson" and "weary of spy movies glorifying the deep state". Also, I'm pretty sure "sick of the MCU" can be thrown in for some people, but pop culture grifters prematurely declared Marvel fatigue before, and I'm personally still interested in GOTG3, shang chi, and eternals because I still want to be entertained by spandex men punching things.

I liked last week's ep and the week before but anything relating to the central mystery isnt even worth paying attention to because the show isn't interested in foreshadowing to you at all. just a constant series of big revelations. its really funny watching the TVIV thread gradually crack and all the dipshits lindelof lovers scatter

Bro Dad posted:say what you will about ron howard but he managed to salvage the infamously awful Solo production into a decent film Are we sure Lord and Miller's Solo was bad, or was it just off-brand enough that Disney got cold feet? Ron Howard's Solo isn't bad per se, but it is extremely bland and pointless. It plays, not surprisingly, like a comedy with all of the actual jokes removed.
