Codependent Poster posted:I think Fraction's Fantastic Four was meh, but the FF was really good. I'm kinda sad they walked back some growth Scott Lang had in that for the sake of matching him up with the movie version. I personally think it was underrated, tbh. I really like the way that it and FF's stories tied together at the end after initially seeming unrelated. Though I agree about feeling sad about Lang getting regressed so he can fit more in line with his movie persona. TwoPair fucked around with this message at 06:39 on Sep 5, 2016 |

Lick! The! Whisk! posted:Regardless, IM3 is a terrible movie that does a bunch of regressive awful horseshit, I trust it to handle an actual minority character as well as it handled PTSD and mental illness, which is to say horribly. I never understand this argument, it reminds me of when somebody (or maybe multiple somebodies, I forget) complained a while back that "IM2 didn't really do Demon In A Bottle". Yeah, of course a superhero movie that children are gonna see isn't gonna have accurate portrayals of things like PTSD because that's not exciting or funny, that's dark as gently caress.

Dude that's like Spider-Man 101 though (or Spider-Man 50 to be exact  ). Everyone knows that SPIDER-MAN NO MORE cover. In this day and age where people are so giddy whenever praise Marvel over DC for "embracing their comic roots" or whatever bullshit gets written in movie reviews and/or nerd thinkpieces, I'm always surprised to see the Raimi movies get knocked because they match the overwrought drama of a superhero comic perfectly, along with some great fights for early 2000s CGI. Like sure, Spider-Man didn't crack enough Jokes Per Second to satisfy your personal quota (i would've liked more too, fwiw) but they are good films  Well... 2 of them are, at least

Just got back from Wonder Woman screening, thought it was pretty rad. I wasn't really bothered by the Ares fight. I mean, I do think it would've been better without, but at this point I've accepted that all superhero movies must end with a big dramatic CG fight, so ultimately I'm cool with it. The only real problem I had was Ares' death. Like, okay, the movie addressed that people are the real fuckups, but it also has Ares say that he gives them ideas for exciting ways to gently caress up. And then he dies in World War 1. So I guess every other weapon of war was a human original creation? Good job, Manhattan Project, you didn't even need a Greek god to help you build that bomb! I don't know, I think it might've been better/made more sense if he was somehow banished or something instead of being outright killed. Of course though, it is a comic book movie, I suppose there are always cop out ways to bring him back.

Just got back from Thor 3 and I gotta say I loved it, except I don't feel like they really dwelled on Banner possibly going perma-Hulk enough. Like, Banner's clearly worried about it, and after talking a bit, Thor relents to not needing Hulk and not forcing the transformation on him, but still at the end he's Hulk and no one seems to care, least of all Thor. The movie doesn't really think it's much of a moment either. Yeah, Banner looks out to see what a dire situation they're in while a touch of sad music plays, but then he splats himself on the Bifrost for laughs and then that's the last the movie seems to care about any pathos with the Hulk and relegates him to "Awesome fight guy". That said, I am shocked by how many permanent changes it made in a genre where you can usually bet on things returning to a sort of status quo at the end. Stuff like Thor losing an eye was shocking, and I could have sworn that Mjolnir would be back before the end of the movie. I even had it planned out in my head. I thought it would come right near the end from Odin giving him a pep talk and Thor realizing the hammer was just an extension of his will/power and seeing the pieces reform as he called it to his hand, and I thought "poo poo did I call it?" when Thor and Odin met in Thor's mind during the final battle. Then Thor went Also man, Dr. Strange has been doing some serious practice since... Dr. Strange, the movie. He ended that one with a lot to learn and in this one he's treating teleporting Norse gods around like it's the most boring thing in the world. edit: Oh yeah, Skurge was super-disappointing. I mean, someone reposted his sacrifice just yesterday in the badass panels thread and the movie was... way less cool. I suppose it would have to be since you can't have Skurge do a dramatic face turn when he was hardly even a heel. I guess I just don't get why he's there, when there's no way you can do his most iconic moment with the gravitas it's supposed to have.

fruit on the bottom posted:Well SOMEONE’s leaving after Infinity War. RDJ? I think every movie since IM3 was supposed to be his last one no-really-guys-this-is-it but the house of mouse keeps giving him ludicrous sums of money to do another. I distinctly remember some interview where he said Iron Man 4 was happening but that could have been horse poo poo. If anyone's biting it in Infinity War my money's on Vision. Paul Bettany can't enjoy all that Vision make up, and Vision is nobody's favorite Avenger, so it won't make the little kid audience too sad when he goes. Or maybe Rhodey actually dying instead of a fakeout.

X-O posted:I know this is just going to start another argument but this needs to be said. This poor opening weekend that it's shaping up to have wasn't a result of a Rotten Tomato score. It wasn't a result of Wonder Woman of course, which is looking more like an anomaly than ever now,. It wasn't a result of bland uninteresting marketing or anything like that. Whether people want to believe it or not this opening weekend was a direct result of Batman v. Superman poisoning the well for the wider general audience. That movie dropped like a stone after opening weekend and people remember their experience and the negative buzz. I know some people around here like to refer to it as an "interesting failure" at worst but the bottom line is that even if Justice League is better, and I'm not sure if most people will see it that way, the audience had already made up their minds not to see this movie because that one left a bad taste in their mouths. I think you're probably right, but I can't help but think that a huge factor is rushing straight for JL without establishing the other characters first. Say what you want about Marvel being formulaic, but the formula sure as poo poo worked for Avengers because everyone knew the characters going in (aside from Hawkeye who was not only introduced in one of the least-liked Phase 1 movies, but didn't have a big part in it either like Widow got in IM2). You can't build hype for Aquaman or Cyborg when your audience doesn't really know them or their deal going in. So Justice League starts with a Batman that not that many people even liked, Wonder Woman, a dead Superman, and the promise that there'll be some new guys and they'll be totally cool we swear. Oh yeah and Avengers had a villain people knew from previous films too, as opposed to... a guy no one knows. Maybe DC/WB had so much faith that their characters were more recognizable to the public (and I guess maaayyybe Aquaman is? but not in a good way) that they didn't need to build interest in other characters, but they were clearly wrong. Really though I can't figure out whether DC is trying to do Justice League first before movies for Aquaman or Cyborg is because they're trying to prove that DC  or whether it was totally just a run for the money where they figured just the promise of any superhero team with Batman would get asses in seats gently caress who's on the team who cares.Ugly In The Morning posted:Seriously. They got Shane Black to do Iron Man 3, and he had done a very specific kind of movie with RDJ, and in general, and he nailed putting the character arc on the path they wanted for Avengers 2 and Cap 3. It's really more thought and character than you'd expect from a giant franchise, and they put out as many films in a year as the DCCU has ever. Counter: no. If anything he put the character arc on the complete opposite of the path they wanted for AoU and Cap 3. He realized his building of more and more suits stemmed from paranoia/PTSD from his mini space journey at the end of Avengers, swore off being Iron Man, blew up his suits, got his heart fixed, and rode off into the sunset with Pepper. So it was really awkward when suddenly he's back with the Avengers and has even more suits! And he wants to build an armor for the world!

Just got back from Justice League. Gotta say, I didn't think it was all that bad. I dare say I enjoyed it. I guess it helped that I'd been reading this thread beforehand so I expected something along the lines of "garbage fire", so the bar was low. I mean, don't get me wrong, there were problems, they definitely tried to stuff too much into the movie (just like BvS!) and I maintain that they really should've done a Flash or Aquaman or Cyborg or Bat-fleck (or maybe more than one of those) movie before Justice League but I feel like it worked, all things considered. I was surprised by how much I liked Cyborg, and how much my eyes were able to adjust to/ignore the subpar CG that made up his body. Also Superman's super-uncannily-clean upper lip really only stuck out to me during the beginning cellphone video. Maybe if DC keeps working this "we're not great but we're learning!" angle, they'll have a movie that can get fanboy praise, critical praise and make money!... right before Cavill's contract runs out and they have to awkwardly recast Superman. Also whenever they showed Barry Allen visiting his dad in prison, suddenly all I could think about is how I wanted Henry Allen to be played by Grant Gustin in old man makeup, since John Wesley Shipp played him on the CW Flash. Just start a trend of each Barry Allen's dad being played by the previous Barry Allen.
