Detective No. 27 posted:People are so quick to forget that MoS was not grimdark. Superman was thematically tied to the Sun in that film and it was filled with light but people just remember the 'muted' tones of the film and assume it was grim and dark. BvS on the other hand is looking pretty grim: practically every scene they've shown so far is at night and we've got Batman growling "Do you bleed?" and Superman doing the whole "The Bat is dead! Stay down!" rant. Also Batman's nightmare/vision about the apocalyptic future with fascist Superman.

Darko posted:I don't think Avengers shows a single person being killed during the entire Chitauri battle. It's not even hinted to - when the aliens are on screen, they're aiming their weapons at cars, and when people are on screen, they're mostly being herded around by cops or rescued by Avengers. When the big city destruction building scenes happen, the streets are suspiciously empty. That makes it easier to focus on the "cool" things happening, as there's no counter-weight against it. There was a scene in a bank or something where some Chitauri were threatening a bunch of people and Cap leaps in and takes a shot to the gut to protect them, or something like that. Also there were scenes where the Avengers were directing the cops to evacuate everyone from the immediate area which is why the streets were empty later in the scene.

Electromax posted:The JJ outdated newspaper stuff is sort of just a microcosm of the outdatedness of a lot of superhero tenets. Like after the Boston Marathon bombing, there were thousands of photos and videos from the event quickly circulated and shared (with some false positives to boot) but Joker will still be able to set elaborate traps, lace hospitals with bombs, purchase whatever dastardly materials and leak creepy videos to the press without any large-scale organized manhunt materializing, or the use of facial recognition/vocal recognition technology to identify his patterns. Also in this modern era of paparazzi/celebrity gossip websites/obsessed fans/Anonymous/conspiracy theorists it'd be ever more increasingly difficult for any superhero to guard their secret identity, especially if their alter ego is as well known as Bruce Wayne and they don't wear a mask that completely covers their face. There'd be websites dedicated to recording all their known appearances in an effort to find patterns in their movements and figure out where their secret base was hidden. Characters like Spider-Man who often start their patrols by leaping out their apartment window in full costume would be exposed in a day or two.

That's a real good way to lose your fingers, Hank. Harlock posted:I thought the crux of the argument was that registration basically means you're a tool of the government/a weapon at their disposal. Cap already did that and hated it. Whether they communicated it well or not is fair game.

OldTennisCourt posted:I really hope, and the trailers are making me feel like they are, that this fixes the major problem in the comic and makes both sides like viable options. Like Tony has a very valid point of "Yeah, so we should probably be regulated by a higher governing body and be held responsible to the major disasters like Ultron" and Steve's point of "Yeah but remember how we were all onboard with SHIELD and they turned out to be evil?". Yeah they definitely worked on making Tony's stance more sympathetic and less Hitlery-ish quote:“Obviously it will be easier for the audience to get behind Cap because it’s his movie, it’s his point of view, and he has the most screen time,” said Joe Russo. “However, Tony has the emotional motivation in the film. The most human motivation. … Hopefully, by the time you walk out of the film, [you’re] having a fight with your buddy or your boyfriend or girlfriend about who was right in the film.” quote:The writers admitted Stark is blatantly wrong in the comic books — i.e., that whole interdimensional prison he builds to contain fellow superheroes not aligned with him. “Part of the challenge in not making Tony clearly wrong, as he seems to me in the comic book … is to give him his own personal reason,” Markus said. “So that he’s coming from a place where you understand why he would make this decision.”

There'll no doubt be a new Spider-Man costume design in every new Spider-Man standalone and at least the first Infinity War but also every other MCU film he gets a role bigger than a stinger cameo. Possibly even more than one re--design in some of those.

Soul Glo posted:Kind of assuming this Spidey's Uncle Ben died in the New York incident from the first Avenger's. I hope they 100% avoid retelling Spider-Man's origin in Civil War, or at least dwelling on it anywhere in the first act. Ideally there'd be a scene early in the film where someone goes "Now there's guys in costume popping up everywhere, the situation is out of control!" with a bunch of screens showing security footage of Spidey and a few other characters and Stark goes "I'll look into it" and then they just don't mention him at all until Stark's reveal in the airport showdown. Introduce him in the big action scene and he can have a scene with Cap at some later point which fleshes out his character. Rhyno posted:Has Holland been confirmed for any other MCU films yet? As far as I know they've only announced that he's contracted for Civil War and a Spider-Man trilogy and that part of the deal is that he won't appear in any MCU TV shows but I'd be amazed if Marvel Studios didn't secure him for Infinity War as well.

Boob Marley posted:You are right. Comparing the MCU to the DCU at this point is one heck of a false equivalence since you're comparing one film to twelve films. There's absolutely no way of telling how the next eleven DCU films will compare to the MCU output so it's pretty pointless to try and make some sort of judgement call at this point. In any case it took Marvel Studios several years to really find their feet. Iron Man may be their highest rated film on the graph but the four films immediately following that were four of their bottom five rated films. If you average out the ratings for their first five films it comes out at 6.95 which isn't significantly greater than Man of Steel's 6.7. Guy A. Person posted:I actually really hate the "Supes did 9/11" sentiment as well as the Thunderbolt Ross scene at the beginning of this new trailer implying that super people are responsible for disasters they get involved with. It strikes me as going up to a firefighter and saying "gee you seem to be at the scene of a lot of burning buildings". Also quite a few firefighters have turned out to be pyromaniacs, often getting caught out because they 'mysteriously' beat everyone else to the scene.

Burkion posted:Yeah, as said above- and it's still ridiculous that out of all of the studios that have had Marvel properties, Elektra is the only attempt. There's been several female led superhero movies: 1984 Supergirl, 2004 Catwoman, 2005 Elektra. Part of the current problem is that those three films really loving sucked and bombed really hard and gave female superheroes a reputation as box office poison. (There's a bizarre dichotomy in Hollywood film production where they're desperate to acquire and develop absolutely every IP they can get their hands on but they're also incredibly risk adverse.) Don't forget that Catwoman was actually a really sincere attempt at making a female led superhero blockbuster. It had a $100 million budget (at the time that was the the 5th biggest budget of any superhero movie) and starred Halle Berry and Sharon Stone, two of the biggest female movie stars of the time . Hollywood just went "Well, we tried but audiences just don't want to see female superheroes!" and moved on. The 1984 Supergirl movie, on the other hand, was produced back in the era of Superman 3 & 4, Howard the Duck and Swamp Thing and 5 years before Batman 1989 started the next superhero wave. It only had a budget of $35m (less than Howard The Duck's $38m budget) and starred first timer Helen Slater. Elektra .... well you all know how hard that sucked.

So when we compare all the recent Marvel and DC movies we see that the MCU is all middle of the road (from good to not so good but never really good or really bad, comparatively) but when we look at every superhero from the last 38 years the MCU is "average to good" Seems about right.

The idea that people don't just have bad taste or are dumb but actually know that they are objectively wrong and are just scrambling desperately to not lose face. It's a lovely strawman/ad hominem attack dialed up to 11. "I am so certain that I am so obviously correct in this matter that I cannot believe any honest, open minded person could possibly hold the opposing viewpoint, therefore anyone who disagrees with me must be lying." I guess in the modern era it was popularized by  but it's leaking out into other media.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:Not sure if this is the best place to discuss this but I recently saw American Hero and man, what a wasted premise. If you didn't like Hancock because the plot didn't really go anywhere, you will hate this movie. A lot of the scenes are individually well shot, but there isn't really a plot and nothing really happens. The worst thing is they have a bunch of little clues that make you think hey, something might happen at some point? But nothing ever does. Yeah it really felt more like a character piece about a guy trying to get his life back together so he can see his kid again but he just so happens to have super powers which are another distraction/temptation he has to deal with in his life. 'Wasted potential' is one of the obvious themes running through the film but I wasn't really sure it was addressed at all by the end of the film. The filmmaker might have been trying to make Melvin might have been a metaphor for the USA itself - he has a gigantic amount of power combined with booksmarts and good intentions but he's constantly distracted by frivolous partying, drugs and booze and old timey religion. When he does man up and try to affect change he goes for the nuclear option rather than the longterm smart option, which itself causes problems for himself and his friends. He just can't understand why his life isn't as great as he always imagined it and when he tries to bootstrap himself into a better person that doesn't work either.
