well why not posted:I haven't watched Homecoming yet (and these posts are probably best suited for the CB thread) but is he the secret genetically-engineered son of spies and millionaires in that? Closest thing that pulls him out of Working Class Schmoe is his link to superbillionaire Tony Stark.

So while The Emoji Movie was making a big deal about Patrick Stewart as a character apparently he's barely in it.

Seriously, Lords of Shadow is basically an exteremely lovely audiobook that Stewart reads to you. Then he becomes your best friend after you beat him up, which sadly didnt work in real life when I tried.

FilthyImp posted:Civil War nailed it when his room was full of repurposed/salvaged stuff. Not much of that is in Homecoming, and he does attend a gifted STEM school (presumably under a scholarship or due to his test scores). Theres a lot of stuff that grounds the character, like using school lab equipment for his superhero supplies, his home-crafted costume, and his earnestness/inexperience. His challenges are more of thr awkward/cringey Hughes film variety than Aaaaaaangst. Haven't seen the movie but NYC definitely has some very famous STEM magnet schools you can only get in with testing. It's probably the most egalitarian thing about a city that otherwise has a very segregated (by class and race) educational system.

Pope Corky the IX posted:Studios will never loving learn. The '89-'97 Batman was the first example of "Stop putting so many villains in the goddamn movies" and yet every series since has loaded 'em up by the third one. It's especially funny when Amazing Spider-Man 2 replicated one of the biggest problems of Spider-Man 3 by having three main villains all fighting for screen time. They will never learn, even when Batman and Robin was out and we were at peak "why are so many characters in this" there were rumors that for the next one they were going to have Harley Quinn, Scarecrow, and like Firebug or something in the same movie, like, what? Batman Forever and Batman and Robin are just over two hours long too so it's not like they were cut short or anything. Barudak posted:Seriously, Lords of Shadow is basically an exteremely lovely audiobook that Stewart reads to you. Then he becomes your best friend after you beat him up, which sadly didnt work in real life when I tried. The best part was his character mentioning how "I've seen everything" in a serious context. The voice acting in that game is incredible, everyone is in full "gonna chew the gently caress out of this" mode levels of gothic somberness. Like I was surprised Carlyle/McElhone/etc. weren't in Crimson Peak after playing it. The part in Lords of Shadow 1 where you finally reach that town and Patrick Stewart is running around with you enthusiastically killing vampires is awesome though.

I'm sure the movie sucks but I doubt even one well written review will be produced as it will be a race to trash it the hardest and prove who hated it the best.

Phylodox posted:I just looked it up and why does he look crunchy instead of scaly? Like...tempura lizard? Looks pretty scaly to me. I think he was supposed to look like the original pre-snout Lizard in the Ditko comics.  Electro was really the best part of ASM2. They actually time his use of powers to the music, and the soundtrack incorporates the crazy voices in his head.

Like, not if a human had a skin condition that made them look like a lizard but if a lizard had a skin condition that made them look weird and crusty.

Matthew Reilly is somewhat embarrassing as an Australian, though his stuff really does lend itself to cheesy movies. His first published book is basically Predator if a random human and his daughter were dropped into a free-for-all deathmatch with a bunch of various monstrous aliens. And then there's Hover Car Racer, which is basically an F-Zero novelisation starring a teenager.

Everything you need to know about Matthew Reilly is that he sometimes writes the word 'exploded' in italics. He's a solid airport fiction writer. It's like reading Clancy, except that you don't have to read 700 pages of the author's lovely political/racial/sexual beliefs to get to the gunfights.
