Is Thor's surprise at seeing the Hulk the most emotion we've seen out of the character? I'm trying to remember Thor's 1 and 2 and my mind can only conjure comedic straight-man thunder god maybe being a little sad during Thor 1.

I reread Irredeemable today and I was wondering if we're going to be hitting the point where we're at critical mass for the reboots of the mainstay/stream superheroes, and studios can kind of assume the general public has enough knowledge of the pastiche that we can see some different comic book movies.

Unless I'm completely missing out on some baller animated features or something.

Hawkman flies around and smashes people in the face with a loving mace. People stay away from you if your modus operandi is to swoop down and smash in someone's skull with a mace.

Also, he's Thanagarian so he's actually very strong. Oh and his mace is made out of a special metal that aides in face smashing.

I like heroes without powers, they're essentially all the Tony Hawk's of their equipment. I mean, yeah, he can "just fly". There's no way in hell I can do the same poo poo on a board with wheels on it that a pro skater could, so if a character has enough charisma I can appreciate a couple of of them who might not have the technical ability but their heart is 100% in the right place. Especially if they're the Tony Hawk of Wingsuits

That being said I don't know jack about Hawkman but "winged dude with mace" sounds dope

Neither am I and I enjoy people dunking on Liefeld, as does anyone else who walks upright.

It's almost impossible to watch a Raimi movie and stay cynical. Except for Spiderman 3, but that washes away into pity after the sandman transformation scene

Doesn't Spiderman just let him go, and he flies away? Or does he get locked up? I don't remember tbh

I like how you’re so dismissive when you don’t even know about scenes paying homage to actual comic book art.

Entertainment news milked a lot out of the first trailer, I remember a bunch of sites mentioning the Gjallerbru thing. I guess they made the Doom connection because Karl Urban was Doomguy in the movie adaptation

...I'm most interested in seeing Cyborg's part in the film tbh. I know what I'm getting with all of the other actors and their roles. With like no competition and the early buzz as positive as you can ask for for a DC release, this movie is gonna cruuush it

Ok someone please explain this Keaton thing to me because I don't wanna look it up and have Google think I wanna buy Confederate flags for a while.

A kid named Keaton went viral after he was filmed crying and describing how he is bullied. Chris Evans invited Keaton and his mom to the Avengers premiere. Turns out his mom made some racist tweets

I haven't watched a Nerdwriter video since he did one on Ghost in the Shell, in which his entire point was "not my GitS". It was incredibly stupid. Is there a thread for video essays on cinema?

Yeah, and Constantine is obviously Ryan Gosling.

Still working on it, will probably be done by New Year's.

Thanks K. Waste, just got the email. I probably won't watch it for a day or two but I really want to discuss it afterwards. Thanks again!

e: How much more bitrate can you squeeze out of a video if it's B&W because it's not storing colour values? And uh ignore that that isn't a comic book related question
