The dialogue suggested he completely removed it, but Pepper hasn't been seen since so who the hell knows. Pepper with Extremis would certainly be a unique power set in the MCU, both in effect and visuals (though according to the guys who did it, the effects for Extremis were a pain to do in post-IM3 interviews).

My problem with a hero Pepper, Extremis or armored, is how on earth she'd fit into any narrative at this point without an IM4. One of the more plausible theories I've heard about the Infinity War movies is that the first one features the standard extant Avengers, who get their poo poo wrecked and so turn to more unorthodox heroes with weirder and more extreme abilities like Dr. Strange, Captain Marvel, and the Inhumans. Pepper's not like Tony who's plausible enough to drop into most anyone else's story at this point. The story would need to justify and use her, I think, and superpowered Pepper feels like a bad fit for any of the movies going forward that we know about - Ant-Man and Wasp at the most plausible.

She could be Rescue and be added to the Avengers as some kind of "Look, we have someone with no/minimal weapons, who's just there to help people and prevent damage when she can" and or government go-between kinda thing, maybe? Then during the big "everything is going to poo poo in the city" battles you could sometimes cut to her holding up a wall to let some kids run away from the danger or what have you. A hero who is not focused on the combat could be good for their public image as well.

If it would be executed at all well would be another thing. Also, I haven't seen Civil War yet so I dunno how plausible that scenario is after that movie.

Wasn't the deal with the Nova Corps in Guardians something like they were all sharing one communal power source? Have <villain of movie> murder off like all but a few Nova Corps members and now you get your <roll 1d4 for number of Novas the your team> who has/have all that power that was previously stretched thin across thousands.

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong though.


Ghost Rider / Blade / other horror themed Marvel stuff would be a good excuse to make some kind of Halloween special anthology series or something.

I enjoyed Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It has one really, really, really bad scene that I think lets it down a lot (the atomic fridge scene at the start) but it's a fun movie other than that, with an enjoyable cast. I think it's fun as an homage to the 1950s science-fiction films which functioned as Red Scare allegories, in much the same way as the original Indy movies worked as homages to old pulp adventures and film serials (and to a certain extent Donald Duck comics).

I still don't see why everyone shits on that movie for the fridge scene when the far more ridiculous scene of LeBeouf swinging on vines exists.

I know it was two pages ago and we are talking Marvel now, but I got to say I really liked the look of Aquaman in the trailer. People were bitching about Cyborg but instead of saying the same thing about something I don't like I will say something positive and say that I really like that they are taking Aquaman in a different look from the comics.
Also it feels like they are missing out by not having Martian Manhunter in the film, and getting Bruce to fill that role seems like they are missing out.

No Martian, Lantern, or Green Arrow. This JL is lacking in the green department. Also only one woman, so maybe Miss Martian would have been cool?

I'd be ok with flash having armor if it was specified and looked like it was there mostly to soften crashing into things when falling out of control at super speeds and stuff. I kinda feel like speed characters should all wear face protection too because of physics reasons but lol speed force

I don't like getting wrapped in "Marvel vs DC" polarity but, as far as that argument goes, even as a kid I just liked the Marvel characters better. They seemed more believable, grounded, true to life overall and were more interesting to read than the DC characters with the separate earths, the reboots and the wacky timelines and poo poo.

Maybe it's just as simple as that. That the Marvel characters overall are more fleshed out, inherently flawed and basically just more interesting and simpler to write. I mean there's crossover and contradiction in my tastes for sure and I'm not saying it's absolute. I LOVE Batman, Joker, Teen Titans and Green Lantern. I hate Thor. But, for the most part, I always dug Spiderman, FF, Daredevil, Hulk, X-Men and Moon Knight more than whatever DC was offering up.

There's a lot of great stuff to explore with DC. The Donner Superman films, the Nolan trilogy and even Burton's Batman prove that. I think DC just needs to slow the gently caress down and really explore these characters and tell their stories. Not saying they should copy Marvel's template entirely but maybe they should to some extent. You can't just throw the Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg up on a YouTube video cameo that makes no loving sense to anyone and expect the audience to connect with it.

I remember appreciating Spider-Man a lot because he was kinda poor. I mean ok yeah he lives in new york so whatever but like he can afford the apartment but that's about it. I read an issue once where he was like fantasizing about making a Spider-Van but realized he wouldn't be able to pay for it and I'm like yep this is why I like this guy.

Right there with you dude. I'd have made the effort posts but I'm lazy and forgot half the stuff so you probably did a better job anyway!

For some reason for years I would always fall asleep while watching Godzilla VS Megalon. Like I used it as an insomnia cure a few times. I don't even hate the movie or anything, it just puts me to sleep. However, last time I watched an HD copy and stayed awake, so maybe it has to be a 4:3 VHS rip or something for that effect.

I think both American Godzillas treat themselves as the first time people are made aware of Godzilla's existence to milk the drama and mystery from having to come to terms with the fact that giant lizard that breathes fire exists, so they don't ALL follow the events of the first film.

So according to this pdf Guardians of the Galaxy has the most on screen deaths of any movie ever. The important thing is "on screen" which doesn't count stuff like planets blowing up in Star Wars. The thing that puts it over the top is the part where all the Nova Corp ships blow up. They claim they counted each one and use the earlier scene where you see that each ship is a one seater. Apparently the group who did this compared over 600 movies.

The final total :83,871

I hope Gunn sees this and accepts it as a challenge

Erik was trying to get the Turtles back for issue 222, since they'd appeared in issues 2 and 22, but getting the rights approved through either Eastman or Laird, I can't remember which one, was such a headache he stopped caring.

That's kind of a great idea, too bad it didn't go through.

I think they've done some mild collaborations or appearances in the semi recent past? I forget. Eastman is working on IDW TMNT now and Laird is still in "I am done with TMNT forever, probably" mode far as I know.
