I know he has been a hulking mass of black semi-liquid poo poo for a long time, but he still basically looked like a dude in a dark costume with a big white spider on his chest. And there aren't many spider-related superheroes out there. Comic Book Movie Megathread: a hulking mass of black semi-liquid poo poo

I've seen Spike Lee walking around near NYU a few times and nobody hassles him. He's usually incredibly conspicuous too, completely decked out in blue and orange Knicks gear.

Burkion posted:I actually am because the first Guyver OVA is pretty fantastic all for 1985 anime. Great action, great animation, unique story that does something very different with the one everyone knows, F Guyver II has a unique Guyver design and is an even better fighter than Guyver II, Sho isn't a total putz, and you get all of the weirdo off model and not quite right designs due to it being made so soon. Women being treated as sex objects...IN AN ANIME???

I actually feel that casting a woman as the Ancient One is pretty cool. It would be neat to see an Asian actor portraying a martial arts guru in a film for once, though.

When I heard he was attached to the Green Lantern movie I was very glad because in my opinion they couldn't have picked a better guy.

MonsieurChoc posted:So, the last week I've been watching "gritty crime dramas/thrillers", stuff like A Walk Among the Tombstones or Seven or whatever. And the thought once again appeared in my mind that they really need to make a The Question movie in that style. Or maybe a full neo-noir take on Sandman Mystery Theatre. They'd be different, you could do them on a lower budget so that they needed less money to be successful and since he'll say yes to anything they could even get Liam Neeson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adYGUai7PNc Directed by Richard Donner, even.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:I like most of Ayer's movies, but The Fast and The Furious wasn't an entertaining movie because of the rich fiction it weaved with Dom's backstory. What does backstory have to with anything? I don't think you actually know what characterization means. F&F is absolutely as popular as it is because of its characters, it's practically a superhero ensemble franchise at this point.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:RDJ's Iron Man is the perfect hero for today's Twitter world (and this forum) because he maintains an outward-facing sardonic ironic sense of detachment from everything - making jokes and calling everyone else idiots - while revealing (only to the audience) that deep down he is a sensitive lonely insecure nerdshoe full of CareFeels that wants to make the world a better place. I don't think it's necessarily 'glossed over', it's intrinsic to what makes the character resonate with the fans. There's a real sense of guilt stemming from a growing awareness of how participating in consumer capitalism makes us complicit in exploitation and oppression. The reaction is, over course, not "what if I'm the bad guy" or "how do I stop being the bad guy", but "no, I'm still the good guy because my intentions are pure".

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:True, and I'm just trying to generate some real discussion. So then let's discuss something that leads us to: why are people willing to accept that Tony Stark means well when he fucks up and people die, but when you try the same defense with Superman from Man of Steel it is rejected out of hand? Tony Stark's brooding is "concern", Superman's brooding is "whining". What offends people about Clark's central conflict in Man of Steel is that he's concerned not how, but if he should use his power. It comes back to that guilt over consumer capitalism; people want to feel better by spending their money on the right things. If I buy more Ghostbusters tickets, I am supporting women; I need to buy the kind of bottled water that contributes to charity, etc. Even the idea of boycotting things elevates the dollar as moral currency, and makes the individual 'important' because they can 'speak with their wallet' (you're not, and your individual spending habits don't loving matter). Clark questions if it's even possible to make things better by participating, and this makes people very, very uncomfortable. Mechafunkzilla fucked around with this message at 19:55 on Aug 3, 2016 |

Rigged Death Trap posted:It is when you try to tackle attachment to or perception of one's humanity. If superman really turned out to be as unfeeling or unemotive as his portrayal batman would be vindicated in his hunt. The revelation that he found out supes has some semblance of humanity rather than the alien, impersonal force of nature he was assumed to be is what stopped batman. Nonsense, plenty of incredibly non-naturalistic/expressionist films address humanist themes. Metropolis, 2001, Solaris, etc.
