That book was super boring and McKelvie needs to stick to character design and cover art, his sequential art is way too static for superhero comics.

I don't know how much I plays into the movie, but the Dr Strange tie in comic had Danial Drumm and Tina Minoru as masters of the mystic arts.

Tina being Nico's mother? I wasn't aware that her (or any of the Runaways', really) parents had been named.

So I saw this in a Twitter advertisement last night, the first time I've ever clicked on to get more info from an ad there:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SZ3rMMYBLY

My first reaction is, the hair is all wrong. But as a real opinion, I'm just hoping that there's a first episode twist that shows that the girl was really one of his personalities. Otherwise I don't think they're going to be doing this character or his powers correctly. Which will annoy me because he's one of my favorite X-Men.

This looks so boring and lovely. Couldn't even figure out who was supposed to be David Haller until like 3/4 of the way through the trailer (unless this is deliberate and they're ALL David Haller in which case 5 stars???)

Also, while we're on a fan-casting tangent: Glenn Howerton (Dennis from "It's Always Sunny...") for the Joker. Adam Devine (demamp from "Workaholics") for Hal Jordan. Or maybe Guy Gardner. The dude is a living Kevin Maguire drawing. Hell, he could play anyone (male) from JLI. He'd be a great Max Lord. drat, now I want a JLI series.

Ok, hypothetical here, but say DC/WB decides to pull their heads out of their asses. They decided to make fun of themselves and BvS especially with say, a Blue Beetle/Booster Gold movie. Who do you cast as Ted, who as Mike?

Tim Heidecker as Gold and Adam Scott as Blue. On a JLI sitcom.

This is the type of poo poo that doesn't matter at all. Some art department PA was told to get trophies so they went and got trophies. There's no way the PD or Set Decorator or whoever was like, "yo make sure all the trophies match this year" or whatever.

This is a CD thing which has leaked over. Hulk is, was and always will be poo poo. The only thing it has going for it is Jennifer Connolly.

It's not a "CD thing", it's my opinion that I've held since the movie came out. I would watch Lee's HULK any day over the likes of Captain America or Thor. The only one that comes close is Iron Man. Why haven't they given Favreau another Marvel flick to direct? I could see him totally nailing a Fraction-inspired Hawkeye that also merges the MCU family aspect.

I think it's hard to make a good Hulk movie because any story that takes place on Earth paints the Hulk as a monster. It's the type of story that kinda needs to be taken seriously and portrayed as a dark, psychological drama, bordering on straight-up horror. So, unless you have a master like Kubrick or Scorcese at the helm, you're never going to have the type of emotionally-nuanced movie that allows an audience to connect with a protaganist who also embodies the central conflict of the story. This is ultimately why I think Ang Lee came closest. But really, the tone they have set for the MCU films pretty much demands that any (successful, competent) Hulk film needs to be full-on fantasy, Ragnarok-style.

Unlike the amazingly original plot of every Iron Man film.

The plots don't need to be so original when the protaganist is so compelling.

I think the sense a lot of critics/fans have is that superhero movies are a trend in the same way that gothic supernatural movies were a trend in the late 90s-2000s. Sure, they still make an Underworld or a Resident Evil or whatever each year, and it makes money, but there aren't 10 other sexy vampire techno movies all breaking the box office the same year. In other words, they think the market is shrinking, when the numbers basically say the exact opposite. Comic book adaptations are obviously here to stay, like adapting any form of story. I think the question, at this point, is whether "superheroes" are a stylistic trend, or big and unique enough to really be their own genre, like westerns or noir.

I was once assistant to a producer and got the chance to do a pitch for the biopic of a turn of the century industrialist candy mogul. I wrote a well researched story pitch that built a layered narrative about the dude and his life and family, as well as a historical bible of the topic over a sleepless weekend (unpaid), only to be told "Oh, we actually want to do something completely different now." I was then given charge to write a "scriptment" for a lighthearted kids adventure movie based around the candy property and its adjacent history. Scriptments are like 10 page treatments of a movie that broadly outline characters, stakes, arc, set pieces, etc. It's basically like describing a movie you just saw to a friend over beers.

The producer I was working for said he wanted something "like The Goonies," so (over another sleepless, unpaid weekend) I wrote something very much in the vein of The Goonies; a squad of archetypal, uniquely talented kid characters coming together in defiance of adults to solve a bunch of puzzles of varying complexity and lethality in order to defeat a greedy scumbag villain and discover a MacGuffin that would change their fortunes and the fortunes of their families. I was honestly pretty proud of what I wrote at the time (it was yeeears ago at this point). I turned it over and find out the producer didn't like it at all. Like literally disliked every point I just mentioned above, and when his direct assistant (who loved it) said "but it's exactly what you wanted, it's very similar to The Goonies," the producer admitted he had never seen The Goonies.

He gave the materials to another producer friend who did a nearly complete teardown of the story I wrote and did an incoherent rewrite where the protagonist kid spends most of the time hanging out with the horrifically scarred ghost of a kid who died in a house fire that was based on a totally unrelated movie idea he had and it was... it was insane trash. It was a lunatic cokehead's idea of what constitutes a movie people would take their children to. It was about that time that I realized I needed to get the gently caress out of that job and L.A. in general for a while.

edit: this wasn't even for a story I really gave much of a poo poo about; it was some stupid licensed property that shouldn't be a movie anyway. I can only imagine how bad it would be for something you really put your heart and soul into.

I dunno, "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, but he's friends with Casper and Wonka is evil" kinda sounds like it could work
