I think the suit design itself is great but the cg comes off as a little plastic with the lighting.

This extended cut is really becoming everyone's go-to for shortcomings with the film.

Not being a comics guy, how powerful is WW supposed to be? It felt a little off balance that she looked like she was having a blast and playing around while everyone else was on the brink of death. She came off as near invincible.

It's about as dumb as a bunch of school bus drivers not caring when a new bus emerges from a smoking bankfront to join their queue.

That's actually the most realistic thing in the whole trilogy.

I just find it amusing that Cap and Tony go back and forth while Vision, the guy who can just wipe everyone out, is sitting fly as gently caress.

The thing I might be most excited about with the Infinity Gauntlet stuff is Thanos ripping Vision's stone out and possibly killing him

For me it's hoping there's some sort of scene where all these heroes that have been built up over the years are dead and Thanos is just walking around in silence.

A lot of that imagery feels like it's from the same scene. Like Cumberbatch leaves his body, has a fever dream, and then says "train me".

If it's not, that's very good editing�

They probably only have a very small amount of footage worth showing publicly this early.

I can tell you exactly what's wrong with the first movie design.

It's the 80s/90s action figure version of the design with gimmicked PULSING BRAIN ACTION because the original Lord Zedd was too scary for soccer moms.

So they intentionally dumbed it down. You'll notice they also removed his weird hosed up tubing that had all kinds of fluid flowing through out his body too.

But, it still LOOKS like Lord Zedd. A lovely For Kids version, which is hilarious considering the original Lord Zedd becomes Al Bundy a third of the way through his existence, but he looks like Lord Zedd.

If they pull the same thing they did with Rita and totally divorce their Lord Zedd from the original in terms of design, it would be the dumbest thing they could do because the original Lord Zedd's design is perfect for this kind of film.

The suit was limited due to being made on a kids budget and the first American one they ever made, but the concept and design is stellar. If they take away from that design- not stream line, not modernize- but literally take away, it would be the second biggest mistake they could make. If Lord Zedd is just some scarred dude with a normal face and stuff, that is a bad call.

the biggest mistake they could make would be what the first movie WANTED to do to the Ranger designs. Originally, in the first MMPR movie, the producers or whoever had the helmets remove the mouth plates and the visors so the actors face could be seen- which is a horrible idea and misses the point of being a Power Rangers adaptation. Plus it just looked lovely. Thankfully some one realized what a mistake they were making and they didn't do that. I think there are production photos that show what an awful look it was too.

So yeah. I'm reserving judgement until I see what they do with the Ranger suits. Because in a world where Batfleck exists and we have a purple and blue robot with a stupid jewel in the middle of his head fights along side Captain America and Iron Man, you can do justice to the Power Ranger designs.

I really don't mind it, I felt they could have done way worse with the helmets.

If the snapchat thing was a marketing suggestion that could have been great.

I identify with a 30 year old SpiderMan who is annoyed that stopping a robbery gets between him and purchasing seltzer.

Nolans Batman having a code is still very fresh in the general public's minds. It really doesn't go much further than that.

I still really appreciate "McAvoy or Stewart? These timelines are confusing." line, and the line about the Mansion being so empty because of licensing reasons.

I finally caught X-Men Apocalypse and wow was it just overwhelming and cheesy. Granted I went in with low hopes, it was hard to get into it and I think I'm burnt out on establishing Magneto's struggles yet again.

I'm not sure why she's a plant monster instead of an evil witch. Maybe they'll explain that in the movie

It looks like they're setting her up as a fallen Green Ranger.

I laughed at how awful it looked when X-23 did that flip and then was surprised to see all the praise for the trailer.

I don't think people were praising the little girl's flip as the primary thing that appeals to them in the 2 trailers so far.

Well all the dialogue came off as try-hard too but didn't think I needed to call that out. Red band trailer also going for the "OMG HE SAID gently caress!" gag.

Edit: And then there's that guy in the elevator who comments on Spider-Man's costume. He also used to host Talk Soup back in the day.

So I'm super broke brained and my brain just only now put together that the actress in the picture is Cate Blanchett. She looks amazing. (I've also had a crush on Cate Blanchett since she was Galadriel.)

If only the magazine editors did something to make it more obvious it was her.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:

Apocalypse could've been a really cool villain if they'd run with his whole Lovecraftian-elder-god-meets-crazed-eugenicist angle, but instead they just made him another generic blue guy, and on top of that he's constantly shot in ways that reinforce how small and unimposing he is.

Yeah it really pretty sad how badly they whiffed on it all.

I think Infinity War Pt. 1 will have a body count / depressing ending because it's going to tease the gently caress out of Pt. 2 that will undo all of it.
