Omnomnomnivore posted:If I had somehow never seen Winter Soldier I'm pretty sure I'd have no clue what Bucky's deal was in Civil War. Honestly, the only movie you really need to see before this is Winter solider. If someone jumps into the third movie in a series blind and can't follow along that's really on them.

ImpAtom posted:It's established pretty firmly in Batman Beyond that Barbara and Bruce hooked up and that is what drove Dick Grayson away and at least strongly implied they did it while Dick and Barbara were together. (There's a comic that made that last bit canonical but it isn't in the show so you're free to ignore it.) So yeah, that's in the actual show. Because of that and Terry being Bruce's sperm jacked son I just prefer to ignore Batman Beyond entirely.

I'm probably alone on this one, but I'll take the Origins portrayal of Batman over City and Knights any day of the week. He's just a total dick to each and everyone of his allies in the Rocksteady games and never lets up.

Lurdiak posted:I'm sorry, how was the Origins portrayal any different? Because in Origins Bruce is completely fixated on his war on crime to the point that Alfred almost dies and he realizes that he's been a total rear end in a top hat and maybe he should treat the people in his life like people and not tools for his singular goal. As opposed to every other game where he's just a non-stop dick.

Lurdiak posted:So he's an extra huge dick for 99% of the game, repeatedly threatening to murder people and generally being a violent psychopath, and then punches Alfred back to life and goes on a quest for revenge. Wow, so much nuance. And I prefer that to the other games because he actually seemed human at the end. No need to be a smart rear end because we disagree on videogames.

Seriously, stop trying to make Aquaman a badass, it's never going to work. Aside from that the trailer was pretty decent, but I'm not getting any hopes up for a movie with Zack Snyder at the helm.

When exactly did DC as a whole make that poo poo to a darker tone? I remember giving up on Green Lantern books sometime during the SInestro war when characters were getting mutilated all over the place.

Aphrodite posted:This all comes down to the same argument everything in BSS does: I want the one from my childhood. I can't speak for anyone else, but the only time I've ever seen Superman the movie was in the mid 80's when I was stuck in the hospital as a kid. I barely even remember it. I just want a good Superman Movie. Hell, I'd settle for an ok movie where Superman isn't a mopey rear end in a top hat.

Shageletic posted:Spy is a legitimately great comedy. The comedy is on point, and kinda rare for a comedy, so is the plotting/characterization/thematics. Jason Statham was great in it as well. I really liked Spy until you get to the end and they pull that triple turn out of their asses. It felt like such a cop out.

WickedHate posted:It's wild that's the film we got instead of the second one. I don't wanna be all "serious is good, silly kiddy stuff is bad", but the first TMNT movie was the perfect balance of tone and mix of the comics with the cartoons. There's really no other reason for us to not have gotten the overly comical and childish second movie first than a straight up heaven sent miracle. I still remember how shocked I was to be sitting in a theater at seven years old and hearing a Ninja Turtle curse for the first time. That poo poo blew my young mind. Shame the sequels didn't have anything that made the original movie good.

Based on the later episodes of the cartoons where the turtles stopped using weapons and just threw pies at bad guys.

Lurdiak posted:The insane thing is that the first season of the show specifically introduced robot ninjas for them to fight, but people (mostly the British) still felt that was too violent, so pies and bursting a pipe to make the water knock over the enemies it was. And then starting halfway through season 3, Mikey wasn't allowed to use his nunchucks anymore because the UK considers that weapon particularly offensive, so he had to use a stupid grappling hook for the rest of the series. Even when season 8 turned the show dark and edgy in response to Batman The Animated Series, I think it was the day I realized Mikey's nunchucks were never coming back that I just gave up on that show all together.

As someone who grew up on blaxploitation films I can't think of anyone I'd want less than Tarantino. I mean if you're going to do a 70's style Luke Cage you'd be crazy not to get Scott Sanders.

X-O posted:Sam Raimi cast a really good Peter and Mary Jane. Just a shame it was five years later and in the roles of Eddie Brock and Gwen Stacy instead. What a missed opportunity on all counts. Tobey's Peter was just a constantly mopey sad sack that I could never get into him in the role. Add to the fact that he and Dunst had negative charisma together. Also the guy is the worlds ugliest crier.

Lobok posted:I'm rewatching Civil War and the part where they over explain Spider-Man's goggles bugs me. Was that the result of them working backwards from "we want his eyes to be animated" to "his eyepieces need to be some kind of tech for them to move" to "gadget eyepieces are needed because he needs them to help him focus"? It's like two lines of dialogue, maybe three tops.

Karloff posted:Far as I'm concerned Pepper and Tony is the best romantic subplot in a super-hero film since Reeve's first two Superman pictures (and maybe Mask of the Phantasm). I really enjoyed how there wasn't this melodramatic love story in the first Iron Man. It was a refreshing change of pace from all the other Superhero movies of that era.
