Heard somewhere that in a very early X-Men issue, Xavier had Jean Grey practicing her telekinesis by using it to sew while the rest of the team used the Danger Room.

The Fantastic Four sucks rear end.Nodosaur posted:I swear to god Brie Larsen lives rent free in idiots’ heads, because all I did was compare my image of two characters in a fan project to Ms Marvel and Captain Marvel, and someone immediately chimed in to demand I not mean the MCU versions because she “has the emotional range of a brick”. She did the worst crime imaginable: She said white men aren't the only thing that matters.

In a vacuum, practicing fine control of your burgeoning telekinetic power by sewing is a great idea. Making the only woman on the team do it while the boys go play heroes is pretty on point for old comics.

Lobok posted:Over in the Avengers, Janet's characterization was pretty tough to read and I was never into classic X-Men but I can't imagine Jean or the team's treatment of her was something to admire either. Jan's evolution from 1960s celebutante into "She takes the Avengers more seriously than anyone else because it's her main thing in life" is pretty neat, something that I think they kinda tried to apply to Black Widow in the movies (but it didn't really work, because going from being a black ops type to being a superhero is less of a dramatic shift) and they did a cool modern reinterpretation on with Earth's Mightiest Heroes

Dune is going to make a lot of money and WB wants to look like they're making less right now. Aquaman is not going to be a problem in that regard

By the time it ended, The Meg 2: The Trench was a goddamn comic book movie, with jason statham basically using a buster sword to kill a giant shark. No joke, this is one of the best movies I've seen all year and I wish I had seen it in the theater instead of renting it on Amazon. As soon as he goes swimming at 25,000 feet below the surface with no pressure suit, the movie loses all sense of self respect and is the better for it. You don't strictly need to have seen the first one to enjoy this, but a couple of the jokes are going to hit harder if you have.

Nodosaur posted:cool. do you recommend that run? It's very good, but I'd recommend reading Ewing's Mighty Avengers before it. The only reason I recommend it is because Ewing loves carrying over concepts and plot elements from one book to another, and while you'll never be lost if when one pops up again if you choose to skip a story, it makes a nice easter egg. I mean for Christ's sake he had the Tiger God pop up again in Defenders Beyond almost 10 years after doing his first story with it in Mighty Avengers. Dude loving loves that god/character/concept.

I saw it last week (without having seen the first) and I’m in complete agreement. Him finally getting rid of his human enemy and saying so long, chum had me pumping my first in the theater.

glitchwraith posted:Source on this? Honestly, Hanks as Barry Allen (edit: or Jay Garrick) would have been inspired casting, though I can't really imagine what a 90s Flash movie would have looked like. Also not sure what Batman villain I'd want him to play. Maybe a different take on Hugo Strange? Ventriloquist. I'm not even joking I think that would rule.

Jamesman posted:Ventriloquist. I'm not even joking I think that would rule. That was my first instinct too, this or Mad Hatter. Give him a role which lets him act the gently caress out of poo poo but without needing to go on the Hollywood abs training regime. Ventriloquist in particular could be dark, funny, full of pathos, just so many options for an actor of Hanks' ability to make him one of the most memorable Batman villains.

The Ventriloquiest/Scarface is one of those Batman villains that makes it very clear that they are themselves a victim of their own psychosis. It would take a movie structured almost completely different than the ones we have gotten so far but it's very ripe ground if done well. If done well.

Reminder for anyone unaware: Tomorrow is National Cinema Day (in the US) and you can get $4 movie tickets at most theaters. Plus a lot of cinemas are putting some of the biggest movies back in theaters for another screening. What I'm saying is whether you want to actually want to actually watch Blue Beetle or watch Spider-Verse again or say gently caress all that to comic book movies and watch Barbenheimer on the cheap, shoot your shot.

Saw Blue Beetle today. Was surprised how much I liked it, I don't know why my expectations were so low, maybe just because DC has just had such a long string of Ls. Got a little cliche and I felt like killing Jaime's dad was kind of unnecessary but I really hope this isn't the last we see of this cast because the whole Reyes family is pretty great. And yeah there definitely isn't anything that would prevent a sequel from getting caught up in all this universe/regime change poo poo going on aside from the mention that Superman, Batman, and Flash all exist but thankfully there's no like, Wonder Woman cameos that will really stick it with the corpse of the DCEU. Also saw Jurassic Park 3D but that's not really thread relevant. It was okay, but honestly I had more fun watching Jaws 3D last year as far as my "3D conversion of a classic Spielberg movie" experiences go.

I saw the Flash, and gosh that was an unlikable movie. I wanted something on in the background while I did some work, and it never pulled me in enough to actually like the main character. Maybe its on me and I wasn't in a mood for a movie like this, but it felt very long and very big budget for the light, wacky movie it was maybe trying to be. Like it's a great example of how hard it is to do comedy. The Kara-El stuff was fun. The Chronodome stuff felt like planet plot-device, it was different but uninspired.

Like it's a great example of how hard it is to do comedy. While I think the Flash sucks, I can’t take any feedback about a film seriously when it starts with “I put it on in the background”. Being a good background movie is a great trait, but it shouldn’t be how you judge the merits of the film itself.

It does. My opinion is testing something as a background movie isn't a good way to judge a film you've never watched before and it's hard to know what to pay attention to what not to pay attention to. For me a background movie is something I'm familiar with so I know when to pay attention or not to. Maybe just my personal preference.

Some people dug up an old James Gunn Facebook post from 12 years ago and are getting mad because he says that the Tim Burton Batman sucked and he didn't like Michael Keaton's Batman or Jack Nicholson's Joker. Some people are also speculating that he pushed to cut a lot of the Keaton Batman scenes from The Flash, Aquaman 2, and Shazam 2 and had Keaton die in The Flash to sabotage any attempts to bring Keaton back.   https://twitter.com/SamuEl_KentMan/status/1696046342705922204 https://twitter.com/pingpongflix/status/1695861853363319224 https://twitter.com/niklander2/status/1696031076278268360 https://twitter.com/rubenthecuban97/status/1696005756615582011 Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Aug 28, 2023 |
