Parkingtigers posted:Quantumania is the perfect example of a comic book movie that is just like an average 3 issue run from an ongoing series. The title character comes in, there's a villain of the arc, and the hero wins at the end. Repeat for 30 years. The problem is the Ant-Man comics don't really have any hits. Well, I guess there is the one...

oof https://twitter.com/__ChrisLee/status/1628443552580792320 quote:In terms of priority, Wakanda Forever was definitely at the top of the list. All the money went to that. All the best resources went to that. It’s understandable given the context — with Chadwick and everything and how well the first film did. But it did diminish the ability to carry Ant-Man all the way through.

Which is wild, because Quantumania looked like 97% CGI on screen.

Yeah, apart from that one "desert" scene in Quantumania which has 2002 music video levels of obvious green screen, it all looks much better than Wakanda Forever.

Outside of MODOK looking kind of bad in a couple places I didn't think the CGI was bad in Quantumania.

This is going to sound very callous but at this point does anyone really care about this? Yes CGI artists are overworked and given poo poo assignments (a good friend of mine works CGI and the horror stories he tells makes me wonder why anyone would want to work for CGI studios at all) but people will still see the movies regardless of the working condition of CGI artists or how wonky the CGI is. It isn't a deterrent, just something that would get blamed on the artists themselves.

That’s a shame they focused on WF because AntMan was good and WF was not very good, outside of Namor and Angela Bassett.

The actual VFX artist interviews seem like fairly standard "yeah we had to work under constraints like in any other project", the article writer puts a lot of editorialising on top.quote:My experience on Quantumania was comparable to the majority of productions we [VFX specialists] work on and, therefore, not especially bad or difficult. I wouldn’t say other projects necessarily took priority or that morale was particularly bad (although one of my co-workers actually became unhappy because of the lack of work he was given on that movie — he spent days on standby only to end up doing nothing, and this went on for months). Our working conditions are often less than ideal, and Quantumania was just another in a long line. Anyway. Better working conditions and clearer instructions is one thing, but I don't think it's right to rag on using "shortcuts" in VFX and demand infinite resources to achieve perfect visual quality.

It’s wild to me as I only know one person who bothered to see it, and they thought it was bobbins. Yet, like its predecessor, it’s an absolute juggernaut. Can’t ever bet against ol’ Jimmy, I just wish he’d make something I might give a poo poo about, last/only film of his I saw at a cinema was T2.

I figure the next Avengers movie is going to feature a lot of going around collecting people by either Sam or Carol, or maybe even Scott as he will probably have the only direct knowledge of Kang other than Loki and he's popping up knocking on the Sanctum door going hey Mr Magic, shits going down like him in Endgame. It possible Kang changes the timline but like anyone that was directly exposed to infinity stones (so like everyone who took part in the final battle in endgame) can detect these changes, but only Scott knows what's going on. Thinking more thats too much of a rehash but making Strange try to recruit people and failing because he comes off way too dramatic for everyone and Wong having to smooth things over would be amusing. Cassie is fine, and yea in a Young Avengers style group she'd be good with other young people to bounce off. Though at this point, it seems like that team will be A Force because they have no young male heroes on screen yet. Isaiah was on screen but we don't know if he has any powers yet. twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Feb 23, 2023 |

There's Skaar! Honestly I think they spent enough time putting the concept of Wiccan and Speed into the universe that they'll still try to have them show up. Heck, maybe Secret Invasion will somehow cough up a Hulkling. Plus this is the perfect time for a team to just have an Iron Lad go on with no mention of how exactly. theironjef fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Feb 23, 2023 |

I'm guessing we'll get Elijah's origin during the next Captain America since Isaiah is supposed to be in it. Spider-Man is also young enough where you could put him into the group.

Sentry is on such a higher power level than almost any of the Thunderbolts (that have been announced, anyway) Right now it's Yelena Belova Black Widow, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster, US Agent, Winter Soldier, and (I assume) Red Hulk That's pretty weak to face off against a character who is basically MCU Superman

At least Superman has weakness to Kryptonie and vulnerability to magic, so there's avenues to pursue. Sentry just has paranoia, DID and emotional instability, and if you try and pull on any of those threads too hard you end up having to deal with the Void, and that's even worse. Unless the real power on display turns out to be how therapy Tell me that they are not the poster children for "GET THERAPY, PLEASE"

KurdtLives posted:It is not so much her but the rest of the cast seems strong, although Rudd had some flat line readings. I know this is probably the most greenscreeny/The Volumey filming this cast has done so maybe Rudd and Newton were put off by it. Newton seemed like a take or two away from being peak but it wasn't like she was a Star Wars Prequel actor. Newton was fine (she's basically playing her Halt and Catch Fire character again) but Cassie wasn't well written. All of her character development went on screen during the Blip so we didn't see it but also the MCU has wasted the Blip so it doesn't pull its weight enough. And she's randomly another super genius?

There's still room for surprise Thunderbolts. The ones we know are the ones who were already established in the MCU. I would be pretty surprised if they didn't find a way to work Zemo into this considering Bucky is there and I have to think Moonstone is a real possibility. There's also always wild speculation ideas like that silly Venom nonsense from No Way Home resulting in a Mac Gargan Venom or something. And if they did do Sentry he could easily be a Thunderbolt. Like I dunno. We have no idea what the story is here. Endless Mike posted:I guess he can't be Citizen V since making a Korean person a literal Nazi would be a bad look. Isn't Citizen V already in the MCU?
