Wheeee posted:They should have been respectful of the original material when making their casting decision. Actually, Big Trouble In Little China has an almost completely Asian cast, making it one of the worst examples to use.

I'd love to see those old racist stereotypes redone better. Charlie Chan was originally created as a counter to the Yellow Peril stereotype, and there's a lot of potential for a good movie about a chinese-american detective in 1920s Hawaii. As horribly racist as the old novels were, Fu Manchu's backstory is that he took part in the Boxer Rebellion and wants revenge on western imperialism: I'm kind of on his side there!

It looks pretty different from the books though. The Superintendent of the Space-Time Services only shows up a handful of times in the comics, and here's how he looked in one of his last appearances in Spectres of Inverloch (he's the Lobot-looking dude with sunglasses).

Alehkhs posted:Yeah. I've posted s few shots of various "delegation" parties in this thread as well... so there's that. Valerian's likely gonna be a mash of a couple albums at most though, if not an entirely new story. I was just noting that Clive Owen wasn't supposed to be the Superintendent, as far as I'm aware. Yeah, the title itself is a weird mash-up of City of Moving Waters and Empire of a Thousand Planets, either of which would have made good movies (imagine flooded New York, maybe with a John Carpenter-style soundtrack), but the pictures seem like they're referencing Ambassador of Shadows. Laureline probably won't be from the 11th century anymore. Anyway, I'm going let the movie be it's thing instead of a straigth adaptation of the comics, I'm just geeking out because these were part of my childhood. Also Luc still hasn't shown the Shingouz and they're my favorite.

There were other wars as bad as WWI before. None of them were global like WWI was. A good argument could be made that WWI was more global than WWII.

The Civil War gave hints as to the horrors to come with the beginnings of trench warfare, the introduction of multi-cartridge rifles, near invention of the concentration camp Actually, american concentration camps for native americans had existed for a while.

Will they try and dip into Morrison's run, or go back to the late 70s space opera stuff with the Shiar, or that Legacy business, or what? There's always Dracula: iirc he turned Jubilee into a mutant vampire in the comics.

Iron Man 1's final fight is one of the very few superhero battle that has actual strategy in it (the freezing problem, sabotaging the enemy suit, etc.) Most superhero movies have really boring fights where they just punch each other or blast each other boringly. Ant Man is probably top tier in fight choreography and cool/creative usage of power.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:I'd actually rank Iron Man 2 as the second-best Marvel film. In retrospect, its utter shameless idiocy gives it an ersatz Michael Bay quality. I'm sorry, but the Ant-Man vs Falcon and Ant-Man vs Yellowjacket fights are pretty great too. Thor 2 Portalfight is also up there (only thing I remember from that movie). Can't think of another one I'd put next to them.

Also, they filmed some scenes in the awesome abandoned building on my old college campus, Britain Hall. Used to sneak in there all the time, it's like a horror movie set.

You know what would be cool (but will never happen)? If one of the Ultron survived and managed to de-crazy itself and become what it really wanted to be instead of what it'S broken brain made it. This could even be the origin story of Jocasta or another of the robots created by Ultron

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. So what the gently caress happened? I find Geoff Johns comic go from terrible to merely mediocre.

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. I always loved the weirder, more obscure comics in DC's library and I think they'd work pretty well as movies. Just not superhero movies.
