Pigbuster posted:If Marvel wanted to get a make-up Oscar of their own, which hero could they depict to do it? Pretty much everyone they’ve done so far is either a regular human or all CG. It'd have to be someone vaguely humanoid or at least human-shaped, almost or human-sized, but still requires a ton of prosthetics to portray effectively. So I dunno. I'd say The Thing but they don't have FF. Maybe She-Hulk? Although she probably wouldn't be extensive enough, it's either green bodypaint or CGI, really.

Each year Hollywood Reporter asks some academy members how they voted and why, and then publishes the results anonymously. Here are 3 of the responses for 2017. #2, #5 and #6 in the series abstained because they hadn't seen some or all of the films, but there's no actual requirement for that as you'll see. Brutally Honest Voter #1 posted:I didn’t like Suicide Squad very much. The Star Trek [Beyond] DVD they sent me stopped halfway through — something was wrong with it — so I called them and asked them to send me another, but they never did, so that eliminated them! The funny thing is I probably would have voted for them. Again, I liked A Man Called Ove — the whole movie — so that’s the one. Brutally Honest Voter #3 posted:I really loved A Man Called Ove, and I can't say anything bad about Star Trek Beyond. But as a heterosexual male, it's hard not to vote for Harley Quinn [the character played by Margot Robbie in Suicide Squad] — plus, the makeup was really, really good. I'm surprised it didn't get other tech credits, as well, but I guess it's not really an Academy movie — it was way too much fun. Brutally Honest Vote #4 posted:I voted for A Man Called Ove. Unfortunately, it's the only one of the three that I saw — I'm sure Star Trek [Beyond] and Suicide Squad are wonderful — but I thought it was very imaginative.

For what it's worth, Marvel hired Chris Nelson (The guy who did Killer Croc's makeup) on for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. He's also doing Infinity War. Before Suicide Squad he worked for Fox on Deadpool. The whole MCU/DCEU rivalry is strictly between the fandoms -- there's a lot of crossover on the various crews, and I'm glad they're getting recognition for their work.

I have seen a Man Called Ove. It's a really sweet drama about an old man opening up to his neighbours....but a nomination for best make up? I can't understand that at all. At least with Star Trek and Suicide Squad you can objectively say "wow they put makeup on those people to make them look weird. I can acknowledge that took time and effort." I can only read it as "let's give this film a nomination for something. And the random wheel put it in the Makeup category."

The most ridiculous semi-mainstream awards are the Saturn Awards. That's meant to be the science-fiction and fantasy awards show, branching out into action, superheroes, thrillers etc. but still broadly in the "genre fiction" category. So it's very confusing to me why they gave Breaking Bad awards for the best science-fiction TV show. Not as much as giving Hidden Figures (a biopic about underlooked African-American women who worked as mathematicians for NASA in the 1960s) an award for "Best Action or Adventure Film". I'm genuinely surprised there aren't more "Top 10 Most Ridiculous Saturn Award Wins" listicles on the likes of Cracked, because there's loads of them.

That's what you get for trying to out pedant me! His point is that current canon has her at the rank of Major before she semi-retired to be a superhero (or maybe to run a women's magazine for Jameson? I'm not sure how much of the original run on Ms Marvel has been retconned). I think she's even called Major (maybe even Col.?) Danvers in some of the more recent Alpha Flight stuff, presumably so she has chain of command on the non-superhero people.

And yeah, you're right - I'd probably watch Suicide Squad over Thor 2 as well. At least Suicide Squad is a memorable trainwreck of a film, while Thor 2 just exists and has one of the worst villains in any superhero movie

Sgt. Politeness posted:You jest but it looks like they may have aged the guy up almost 20 years. True. But there is a world of difference between aging someone from their 20's to their 40's or aging them from their 60's to the 80's as is the case with the man actor there. Like, it at least make sense why they nominate it for best makeup if they did age him up. But surely there were other film that year with more impressive make-up work.

I disagree about the villain in Thor 2.. The bad thing about the villain in that movie is that it's a waste of Christopher Eccleston and he's completely unmemorable and not compelling at all, but the villain in Suicide Squad manages to drag down an already pretty terrible movie, which is a feat unto itself.

That's the biggest issue I had with Malekith - it was a complete waste of Christopher Eccleston, and he was completely unmemorable and not compelling, as you said. I don't remember a single thing about the villain in that movie. Suicide Squad at least had a memorable villain in how comically awful the Enchantress and her goons were. Pure schlock. I'm not saying one was better than the other - both were awful - but I end up remembering more about the Enchantress because of how bad the adaptation was.

Enchantress is way more memorable than Eccleston's Dark Elf thing because her acting is hilariously bad to a point where it's entertainingly bad. Dark Elf dude is just... there. Nothing compelling or funny, just plain old bad and boring. Enchantress at least had one cool and memorable scene too, the office one where we first see her turn with that hand switch thing. I honestly can't remember a single thing that Eccleston did in Thor 2 as the villain. [edit] Oh wait, he killed Thor's mom. teagone fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Nov 1, 2017 |

In any case that means movie Carol is probably going to be a Major.

I guess I don't think "memorable" is automatically a good thing. Like, I still don't like Wonder Woman's theme in the context of BvS (though I think it works a lot better in her own film).

But "memorable" is better than "completely forgettable/boring". In this case, Suicide Squad's villain is more memorable because it's comic book schlock akin to Arnold Schwarzenegger's performance as Mr. Freeze in Batman & Robin.

Malekith first appeared in Thor 344 which came out in 1984, Warhammer didn't introduce the Witch King Malekith until the mid 90s, so Thor was first. Its funny that its the most obvious North American comic reference in Warhammer. Normally they just stick to ripping off 2000AD and such.
