Gaz-L posted:Also, in reference to a beat some other people mentioned at the end: While "He killed my mom" is the big emotional line in that scene, all 3 characters get something. Steve has "I could do this all day" (followed by Bucky distracting Iron Man, so Buck saves him yet again after that line) and Bucky gets "Do you even remember them?" "I remember them all... "I could do this all day" was especially awesome to me, after he said that to the bully kicking his rear end in the first movie... again, until Bucky jumped in to save him. It was a great callback for anyone who remembered that early scene, and if you didn't, it was still a cool line.

It just seems like using the Vulture as the next Spider-Man villain will be a waste, since Vulture sucks. And Keaton would play a tremendous Norman Osborn for a Dark Reign event that ties into the MCU, even though moviegoers might be sick of Osborn.

John Ostrander's Suicide Squad is one of my all-time favorite comics. Similar to JLI (which debuted at the same time, 1987), he took a lot of little-known characters nobody cared about and gave them interesting, unique personalities and backstories and group dynamics. Plus, he injected some real-world geopolitics and high stakes into the stories, and always had enough comic relief and melodrama to make it feel fresh and exciting and not too much of a bummer. I have the entire series, all the crossovers, tie-ins, and guest appearances (Janus Directive, etc), the follow-up miniseries, all the Deadshot solo miniseries, and pretty much anything else pre-New 52, which I keep meaning to get bound into custom hardcovers. It made me a huge Deadshot fan to this day, even if I feel Will Smith is miscast (I would have gone with Timothy Olyphant), and I also have a soft spot for Captain Boomerang. I read the first New 52 Suicide Squad TPB, but found it to be joyless and overly violent, with some really out-of-place body horror -- so pretty much in line with all the New 52 offerings. It doesn't help that I don't care about Harley Quinn, and the only thing I find more obnoxious than the Joker is fans who think the Joker is cool/awesome/badass/an antihero. That said, I've enjoyed the hell out of most of David Ayer's movies, and I think the property lends itself to being a big, dumb, violent action/caper movie, so I'll be there. I never even bothered with Batman v. Superman, though.

Is Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) owned by Sony due to her name forcing her under the Spider-Man umbrella of characters? Because I think of her as an Avengers character first and foremost, who ought to belong with Marvel Studios.

Goyer co-wrote Dark City, which is one of my all-time favorite movies. I just don't like the dark, joyless tone of the DC movies so far, but I'm cautiously looking forward to Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman (which he isn't writing, at least).

I hated Man of Steel, thought Batman v. Superman: Extended Edition had some decent parts that helped balance out the awful parts, felt Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises were mostly joyless slogs, and never even saw Green Lantern. But I'm looking forward to Suicide Squad, mostly because I'm still a huge fan of the late '80s John Ostrander series (although I hated the first TPB of the New 52 series). As long as Deadshot and Captain Boomerang are cool, I'll be content, even if the rest of the movie is terrible. And my wife, who normally isn't into superhero movies at all, actually wants to see this because of Margot Robbie as Harley, so it will be interesting to see what she thinks.

Seriously, people don't like Wentworth Miller? I think he's one of the best casting choices of all time for any superhero media as Captain Cold, and he was also perfectly decent as the lead on Prison Break. I admit I haven't seen Kinnaman, Courtney, or Worthington in anything yet, but they all seem pretty bland and generic, and Miller is definitely not those things.

Dario the Wop posted:Tarantino would rock Heroes for Hire (Luke, Danny, Misty, and Collen!) or hell, Suicide Squad. I would've loved to have seen him rewrite the script and make those characters his own. Phil Noto and David Aja are two of my favorite artists, and I think their retro sensibilities would complement Tarantino well, and vice versa. They both draw from a lot of commercial illustration, magazine layouts, retro movie posters and album covers, and fashion design.

Mr Hootington posted:a blue beetle (ted Kord) and Booster Gold bill and ted adventure would be amazing. they would run into various heroes and villains across time and multiverse. I've only been saying this for 25 years. And I would love to see Adam Scott as Ted and Joel McHale as Booster, even if they're both older than what WB/DC would want. A Blue and Gold movie really is rumored (there's a screenwriter working on it), and in an interview, Nathan Fillion said he and Alan Tudyk would probably love to be in it.

Definitely. He's a handsome and charming guy, but past his prime, and like Booster, McHale also played college football. And he played a very similar character on Community -- a smug, smooth-talking huckster who doesn't value friendships or doing the right thing, until he learns to be a good friend and a good person.

I gave up on Agents of SHIELD two or three episodes into Season 3. It wasn't even bad, but it just wasn't doing it for me anymore. I loved Agent Carter, though -- and that was another show with lower stakes, great characters, wonderful sets and costumes, and more of a tie-in to the movies, with Peggy being so important to Cap, Howard Stark's presence, and the Howling Commandos showing up. Season 2 had one of the best MCU villains, as well.

People talk poo poo about Arrow, and the last two seasons have deserved every bit of it, but Manu Bennett was fantastic as Slade throughout Seasons 1 and 2. He is usually held up as one of the highlights of the entire show, for good reason.

Jamesman posted:Comic nerds/possibly art nerds; Is there some reason why the majority of Spider-Man's villains have green for their primary costume color? Off-hand, I can only think of Shocker and Rhino that aren't green-centric that are human. Then you have the symbiote-based villains, which in a way could be deliberate as they're alien and weird and not-green = alien? But there are a couple non-alien villains who aren't down with the green motif which throws that out. Comics Alliance posted some interesting articles about superheroes and color theory that you should enjoy: http://comicsalliance.com/superhero-color-theory-primary-heroes/ http://comicsalliance.com/superhero-color-theory-part-ii-secondary-characters/ http://comicsalliance.com/superhero-color-theory-darkness-light/ http://comicsalliance.com/superhero-color-theory-outliers/

I like Patrick Wilson -- he was Nite Owl! But I don't think of him as a villain or a threat; I think of him as the guy who plays nice, stable guys who women always abandon for the cooler, more dangerous guy. Kind of what Bill Pullman spent his career doing, aside from Spaceballs, Independence Day, and Zero Effect.

I never got invested in Game of Thrones because it became quickly apparent that everyone was going to suffer and eventually die and no one was ever going to be happy or end well. I was ready to give up on Game of Thrones after the "misery porn" seasons 4 and 5, but the last season, 6, was possibly the best one yet. It finally gave some of our "heroes" and point-of-view characters some much-needed victories and happy reunions, and the show desperately needed that.

Most of the X-Men, aside from Wolverine, don't really function well as solo characters, outside of the team. I think the push for a Gambit movie (and the whole push for the character starting in the '90s) was to create a cool, dashing solo hero who could be spun off into his own franchise while still appearing in X-Men stories. Obviously he has fallen out of favor in recent years, while Deadpool became that very thing. But I'm sure someone, at some point (15 years ago?) thought about a Gambit franchise with an A-lister like Johnny Depp.

Lobok posted:In an alternate universe this movie was made in the late 90s, starred Jean-Claude Van Damme, and got the ball rolling instead of Blade. My favorite Van Damme movie is Hard Target, a John Woo-directed riff on "The Most Dangerous Game," set in New Orleans, with Van Damme in a trench coat with a mullet, playing a character named "Chance Boudreaux" and doing a bad Cajun accent. The bad guys are played by Lance Henricksen and Arnold Vosloo. It is violent and awesome as hell. Wilford Brimley plays Van Damme's drunken Cajun uncle, who rides a horse and shoots dudes with flaming arrows. It's the best Gambit film that will ever exist.

He may no longer be cool to most of us, but people who stopped reading comics in 2001 still remember him as "almost as cool as Wolverine". Just like how Venom is still considered one of the coolest villains of all time if you ask a general audience. This is totally true. I have a few acquaintances, as well as students where I work who find out I'm into comics, and they always ask me what's going on with: Gambit Cable Bishop Venom Carnage Ghost Rider Spawn And they used to ask about Deadpool too, but now everyone is a huge Deadpool fan (even people who don't seem to be into comics at all) and owns at least one Deadpool T-shirt.

I imagine everyone knows Lang from Avatar? I still haven't seen it -- yeah, I'm that guy. But funny enough, I just saw him in two movies in the last week: The Men Who Stare at Goats, which I had never seen before, and Tombstone, an all-time favorite, but I had no idea who he was back when I saw it a bunch of times in high school and college. It's weird thinking of cowardly Ike Clanton, with his lovely prospector beard, playing Cable, but that's how I know him best.

Joel McHale has always been my choice to play Booster Gold, since he already played a VERY similar character on Community. Like Booster, Jeff Winger was a cocky, arrogant jerk until he made friends, joined a team, and learned to be a better, more selfless person. And McHale is a former college football player, just like Booster. Add Adam Scott as Blue Beetle, and we have a superhero buddy action comedy for the ages.
