fruit on the bottom posted:It was actually one of the better Daredevil runs if you embraced the absurdity of it all. The way he gets Doom to switch them back is that since everyone believes he is Doom, he uses his new authority to immediately declare war on every surrounding country, so Doom has to abandon his plan to keep people from nuking the poo poo out of Latveria. That's incredible. Lobok posted:The whole idea of Marvel's Silver Age shared universe was shameless marketing. Yeah, but it was smart. DC putting most of its heroes in their own separate cities is part of why they're constantly unraveling and restitching their universe together. Not that Marvel doesn't do their own wild crossovers, but nobody has had to punch reality yet.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:That’s an even more dick move from Matt. I really need to look this run up. The arc goes from Daredevil #35-38, and concludes in Fantastic Four #73. I actually just got there in the reading order yesterday so it was easy enough to find. Madkal posted:To be fair maybe DD didn't know his costume was red. Originally yeah, but that got changed really early in, like within the first 10 issues.

Apparently the eggplant emoji was one of the ones banished to the "room of unused emojis" which tells me that the scriptwriters really didn't respect the lore.

SonicRulez posted:Yeah, but it was smart. Definitely smart. I just said that because the goon I quoted seemed to think that the one Annual was blatant about it but that's how Marvel rolled back then in general. It eventually became a joke how much Spider-Man or Wolverine were used to bump up attention and sales of other titles but Spider-Man was given that treatment himself by the then-more-popular FF in his own first issue. Super obvious tie-in marketing right from the get-go.

Aphrodite posted:Half your budget domestic opening weekend is actually pretty good. Generally they have a strong weekend. This had a strong Friday plus Thursday night. If it hangs on a bit, it could be 'ok'. If it keeps falling off [Word of mouth and reviews have been horrific, but that doesn't always matter with a movie like this] then it's going to be bad. Which is to say: Literally nothing of any worth can be said this early on except for that fact it's probably going to do amazing for a movie where one of the main characters is poo poo. e: And also one them is Patrick Stewart playing a poop emoji.

Can someone explain what the eye thing is, since it doesn't seem to have cover the entire area like under her eyes? Is it cosmetic or *a thing*?

In the comics she has white skin (but she's not albino) because of her mutation, and a black eye patch tattoo. I assume it's a tattoo in the movie too but we don't know yet.

Never heard of this character or actress. I wouldn't have even guessed she was non white (didn't even see the dot) until someone pointed it out.

I hope the contrast between her skin and the white tattoo is a bit more stark in the film itself. I like the idea of reversing the colour of Domino's tattoo, but I think it should be a little more pronounced.

From this picture it looks like she doesn't have a tattoo over her eye, she has vitiligo: I really dig it.
