It's good to see they are being faithful to the comic Civil War in one aspect at least.

muscles like this? posted:I never understand people who claim movie critics/videogame journalists are paid off by big companies. All it takes is one person blowing the whistle and the companies would be in big trouble. Paying and giving benefits to make critics like you is a thing. The idea that one big company is able to freeze out another big company by doing that is not.

Any character can make money if you put the effort and cash into it. There really isn't any difference between say Iron Man pre RDJ and Black Knight as far as the general public is concerned. That is why saying so an so could never work as a movie doesn't work, because as far as the general public cares they are all the same. Outside if a few properties of course.

ImpAtom posted:Yeah, Spider Totems get too much flack. There are bad Spider-Totem stories but there are also good ones, not only by JMS but other authors too. They're a goofy minor plot point that gets brought up when it's convenient for a plot which is about on-par with any of the other random bit of Spider-Errata and they actually make sense if in a bit too much of a pat-and-neat way. The full extent of it is kinda poorly done but even The Other was used well with Scarlet Spider so it's a case of finding the right slot for it. I am the guy who likes the other. Also JMS is my favorite ASM run.

Soonmot posted:No, because First Class has a lot of screen time of actors other than Fassbender, Macavoy, and Bacon and all those scenes are terrible. Yeah you can't admit something that ain't true. Honestly X2 is the best X-men movie by a mile. Most are bad.

I honestly don't know what you are talking about. Are you being sarcastic here. Storm was not centerstage at all CharlestheHammer fucked around with this message at 18:54 on May 29, 2016 |

That is what she was tho. Like am I remembering them differently?

# ¿ May 29, 2016 19:11 |

That isn't making her centerstage, it's giving her something to do, which the original trilogy struggled with.

To be fair compassionate Monarchy or enlighten despotism was a thing more in theory than practice. You usually have to make huge exceptions for it to work.

Yeah I don't think you get consequence, as that isn't it. Him being resurrected isn't a consequence, as the other choice, letting him live, would most likely have ended in the same manner.

That is actually a problem with the movie, Batman does a complete turnaround for no reason once the acceptance threshold is breached. Sloppy writing for sure.

greatn posted:That depends on whether or not you buy the "Martha" moment. A lot of people don't. It worked really well for me though. It was a Paul on the road to Damascus moment where Batman saw what he was becoming and remembered why her became Batman in the first place and realized Superman wasn't his enemy. A lot of people thought it was hokey or stupid. I didn't. That was the films real resolution. Doomsday afterwards if anything was an unnecessary fourth act. But it was an unnecessary fourth act I thought was really fun to watch and visually pretty. I am actually arguing from the standpoint that that scene is fine, but it shouldn't have fostered the interactions that followed. Batman was unhinged and paranoid, so he shouldn't have been that buddy buddy that quickly. It's like all the mistrust just evaporated instantly.

None of those movies have a female lead, one of the characters is female which might qualify.

Chaos Hippy posted:You're arguing with CharlesTheHammer. Why even bother? He can't admit when he is wrong. Also Luke is barely the protagonist till Return and the bad ones didn't actually introduce anyone close to a protagonist till at least clones and even then ehhhh. So Star Wars has a history of this.
