That trailer was GREAT. I'm here for a two hour memorial to a great actor with Angela Bassett acting her rear end off and also Namor is there.

Namor’s little fluttery ankle wings are so much better than I could ever have hoped for. It really shows the more you lean into the goofier aspects of comic books the more they work. Yeah, he has li’l tiny ankle wings and flits about like a hummingbird and that loving owns.

I’m glad we’re getting Namor now, and not a decade ago when ankle wings would still be seen as too cringey and embarrassing.

I don't think the wings were ever meant to be the only functional reason he flies. They're just a visual reference to Hermes, a clue to his god-like abilities.

I guess being the villain makes him an rear end in a top hat by default, but all I ask from any Namor adaptation is him being a prick, preferably a smug one.

Ezra Miller is apparently forgiven by WB/D and back on track to return for the Fantastic Beasts and Flash franchises in the future (on the condition that no NEW details or scandals become public).

quote:

Over the weekend, Vanity Fair dropped a new report that offers multiple new details about Miller's supposed spiral. Mainly, there's an answer for the question on all of our minds: why the hell is Warner Bros. still releasing The Flash?! Well, apparently, because Miller apologized! Miller allegedly "made a trip to the studio’s Burbank, California, headquarters to apologize for the negative PR in person and express renewed commitment." The rest of the Vanity Fair story levels new strange Miller-isms, which includes a source alleging that Miller saw themself as "the next Messiah," who believed, "the Freemasons were sending demons out to kill" them.

In mid-August, Variety obtained a long-overdue statement from Miller, via a representative of the actor. “Having recently gone through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment,” Miller said. “I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behavior. I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life.”

quote:

Even before the second arrest, this was all enough, according to an earlier story from Rolling Stone, for Warner Bros. executives to hold a meeting about Miller's future with the franchise. The Rolling Stone story alleges that Miller had "meltdowns" while filming The Flash. An insider told the outlet that while"there was no yelling or violent outbursts," they described Miller as "losing it." "Ezra would get a thought in [their] head and say, 'I don’t know what I’m doing.'" The meeting reportedly happened on March 30, with the executives deciding to pause Miller's future projects with the studio. (Miller also stars in the Fantastic Beasts franchise.)

Now, as Vanity Fair writes and as we cited above, Miller has made an in-person apology to the execs, which was apparently enough to quell any desires to cancel The Flash's theatrical release.

This is why:

The series has been commercially successful having collectively grossed $1.8 billion across three films so far. However, the series has received positive to mixed critical reception being deemed somewhat inferior to the positively-reviewed Harry Potter films.

There is a 4th and 5th film in the series announced, but they were put on hold during the merger. Zaslav is apparently a fan and plans to move forward with them, though:

since you didn't source your quotes: this is from an Esquire Singapore article from a few weeks ago that, as far as I can tell, contains no actual reporting of its own on Miller, only quotes and paraphrases from previous reports that have already been discussed here. Not sure why you're posting it here now as though it says anything new about the situation.

We've known that for a while. One of the other characters they didn't let him use was, of all things, Paste Pot Pete.

I imagine they have a list of C- and D-list villains that are being saved for a possible She-Hulk S2, or Wonder Man, or other comedy projects we don't know about yet.

The archmage of unexpected stinks.

I've wondered before what the list Patton Oswalt asked for included. Like was it just "Who can't we use?" or did he provide a list of wants? Because I'd love to find Marvel executives were like "Yes, please feel free to use Starbrand, Ruby Thursday, Rawhide Kid, and Chipmunk Hunk, but Stilt-Man is a bridge too far."

I think it's the latter, because they described the joke they wrote for Stilt-Man when they mentioned they weren't allowed to use him.

That kind of makes sense? Iron Man is an established commodity. You say Iron Man and people are gonna think of Robert Downey Jr. So whatever MODOK does is just gonna come off as a parody. No one’s ever gonna turn on an Avengers movie and go “oh, the guy from MODOK”.

Man, Werewolf by Night is loving awesome. MoM had moments where it broke the MCU House Style, but this discards it almost entirely, to it's tremendous benefit. Serious R-rated violence and only thirty minutes long to boot? Hell yeah. I really hope Disney is willing to make more digital content like this and less that's basically "Thor The Dark World-tier Marvel Movie, but with a 20th the budget and 20x the padding"

If it was in color it might have pushed into R territory because there were moments where it was just flying around, but the black and white helped with that.

I'm still just really happy that they nailed Elsa's personality and skills. Right from her very introduction to the end.
