Is the white spider no longer a part of Venom's look? 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.

Mecha Gojira posted:They'll just pull what they did with the last Hulk movie ie take the sequel spec script they have lying around and make it part of a "different universe." So, you'll still end up with artifacts like Hulk starts in South America like at the end of the previous Hulk. And if they want to tie it back into the "larger universe," they can have Robert Downey Jr. show up at the end or after the credits. Is this still about Venom? How is that supposed to work? Would they hire a dude who just kind of looked like Topher Grace?

They are saying that it's kind of dumb to pretend DC is making a big mistake by making MoS the starting point of their cinematic universe. They (and I) also say that MoS is pretty great, but that has nothing to do with how it did at the box office or how it relates to upcomming DC movies.

Luminous Obscurity posted:Its a bold faced condemnation of the sanitized violence of modern blockbusters and has quite successfully made everyone super conscious of it, considering the latest avengers film. Granted Whedon felt that repeating EVERYONES OKAY DONT WORRY was the best course of action for this, but that can hardly be blamed on MoS. Also, it was very violent and I liked that. I don't give a poo poo if that's Superman-y, it was interesting and entertaining. Nedit: Also, dick ships.

Boob Marley posted:Again, you're drat right it is. And it's a successful franchise because it delivers on a slew of little things that people love and enjoy. It's not a successful franchise because it runs roughshod over what people know and love about the characters, it's successful because it gives fans of the source material a pay off without excluding general audiences. MoS did neither. You can call Marvel Studios a big evil money machine all day long, but the means of their success, the way in which they accumulate such wealth and success, has had everything to do with the quality of their content. Starbucks is everyone's favorite big-bag company to hate on because they've permeated the earth with their stores. Well, they got that way for a reason - their coffee is good. Wait, so it's you who claims that movies that make a lot of money are automatically good!

Tomahawk posted:I 100% support this thread becoming the official Guyver discussion thread I think I still have the ten or so VHS tapes of the Anime series in my cellar. All I can think of though is what a gigantic rip-off that was, the episodes were like 30 minutes long and cost as much as a regular movie. I could have owned ten+ copies of Fist of the North Star! The episode where the five super-monsters fight Guyver and then Dark Guyver shows up owns, though.

Martman posted:Can someone make a chart of frequent CineD posters ranking them by their ratio of probations/bans to posts? Then we can finally find out who is right about movies. I can't even see what my one probation was about, but since I was mad about something I'm going to assume it's from a Star Wars thread. Man of Steel is one of those movies that get better the more CineD discussion I read about it, both the good interesting kind and the hilariously goony kind. And I liked the movie a lot to begin with, so it's basically my favorite movie now.

I prefer the Marvel movies because the characters all feel more real. I like both the way they are precisely because they are different and wouldn't want them to be similar. Marvel is crunching out fifty movies a year that are similar to each other, let DC have their Jesus-Man movies.

Well, not entirely... One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders. In fact, their indomitability has attracted the attention of the galaxy's most dangerous hunter. Life certainly is not easy for the Roman legionaries who are caught in this epic struggle between Aliens, Predators, and Asterix.

Re rewatching movies chat, I don't often buy new movies, or go to the theater, or have Netflix, because I'm dirt poor. Thus, I just watch the movies I have. Over and over and over again. Luckily, they are mostly good movies. Like Dredd.The MSJ posted:X-Men Apocalypse just dropped a new trailer. First impression: owns. But if I'm not mistaken, Magneto's and Xavier's exchange from the beginning of the trailer is from the end of the first X-Men movie, how does that work they were old then and are young now!

Snyder has a huge nerd boner and called into a local radio show while he was filming BvS to defend Aquaman's honor. Aquaman is going to be loving great. I know, and I'm hopeful for the movie. And that's precisely why I'm going to take any chance I can get to make jokes on Aquaman's expense, because soon that well will have run dry.

Bob Quixote posted:Well yeah, and in that context it works - context is everything. Same thing with people getting annoyed with the Zod neck snap in Man of Steel: it would be really unnerving and out of place to see Fleischer cartoon Superman or Superman the Animated Series Superman breaking necks, but within the tone established by the film it made perfect sense and flowed with the rest of the action. It's not something done purely for the purpose of being shocking or edgy. Conversely, seeing some of the Silver Age solutions suggested above by one article or another applied in the context of Man of Steel would be horrifying. Imagine an ant-sized Michael Shannon locked in a jar, screaming and hammering against the glass, forever.

Pirate Jet posted:We're not judging the sequels, we're judging Age of Ultron, the movie where, using the exact same process that created Ultron, Tony Stark creates Vision, a character whose sole purpose is to destroy Ultron, which he does. In the same movie it's also made abundantly clear that the public now hates the Avengers, so much so that they have to take cover at Hawkeye's little house in the prairie. Creating Vision does not undo that.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:That's one of the things that makes perfect sense - the man out of time struggling to realize what's off about the present day versus a flippant capitalist who treats his so called friends like employees. I was trying to connect this post to BvS for a moment. The next few months should provide some entertainingly confusing discussions. counterfeitsaint posted:Since we're talking about the Avengers, I've been wanting to ask this. As someone who just watches the movies and doesn't read comics, shouldn't Stark and Rogers should be on the opposite sides in Civil War? The libertarian industrialist Tony "You want my property well you can't have it" Stark is all pro government regulation while the ultimate orders following soldier is heavily in favor of unchecked vigilantism? I know they tried to set up some of that in Winter Soldier with SHIELD, but it still really feels off to me. At least for Cap you can say that he has always been against preemptive strikes, rule through fear and so forth. Whatever legislation starts the Civil War seems to be more of the same stuff Hydra tried to pull off, but this time it's totally not Hydra!

Terrible Horse posted:Cap's first "mission" was disobeying orders and parachuting into enemy territory to rescue his buddies. He's always been a guy who does the right thing first, and a soldier second. In Avengers 1 there's a scene where they all squabble due to the scepter. Cap says to Stark "Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you?" Naturally, Stark replies with a quib and Cap's remark isn't dwelled upon in the scene at all, but I would like to think that Cap hit a nerve there. It's too close to what BvS apparently aims at, but I would like a Civil War where part of Stark's motivation is that he is massively insecure about his red sports car armor allowing him to compete with literal gods.

MonsieurChoc posted:Speaking of WWI comic book movies, anyone like Luc Besson's Adèle Blanc-Sec movie? I had some troubles with it, because he took a pretty dark comic series (it includes WWI at some point, in all it's butchery), and turned it a funny adventure (sort-of trying for a French Indiana Jones, I guess). And that's a legitimate idea and not necessarily a bad movie, but the disconnect was pretty strong throughout for me. Watching Lucy and Malavita has rejuvenated my love for Besson, so thank you for bringing this to my attention. I haven't checked if the Tomb Raider discussion in the Greenlighted thread is still going on, but this would kinda fit

The Cameo posted:Given that World War I isn't the "fun" war that can really be boiled down to "good guys and bad guys" the way World War II has been glamorized, it wouldn't be out of place for the movie to end on a dour note. Although I believe it's been reported that Wonder Woman will have bookend scenes in the modern day that will put her specifically in place for Justice League. So her movie is "Diana remembering what drove her out of Man's World for a century", with the end likely signalling what made her come back. Thanks for letting WW II happen, Wonder Woman!
