LGD posted:Not gonna lie, I'm super curious to see how they intend to handle Magik in the New Mutants movie. The rest of the New Mutants are fundamentally pretty straightforward, but comic-book Magik is... not. The time traveling component of her mutant power is alone would make her a somewhat difficult character to handle from a storytelling perspective, and that's something that requires far less exposition than anything to do with Belasco/Limbo/the Soulsword/the bloodstones/the Darkchild/being a literal witch. There are a lot of ways you can deal with it, but I legitimately have no idea what movie-Magik is going be like, while I can envision the rest of the team pretty easily. Ignore it all and give her magic. Nobody will be confused, because it's her name.

I'll be interesting to see the international. Captain America previously didn't do so good in many countries because he's Captain America. But everyone knows this is basically Avengers. Vintimus Prime posted:Theater is full. Ton of people wearing Cap shirts too They chose the wrong side.

He's not from the 1960s like McGuire, as a start.

Cap ends the movie inflicting permanent brain damage on a bunch of innocent UN soldiers doing their jobs. So Tony comes out ahead there.

Nobody is talking about BvS. They're comparing it to Ultron, which it did less than.

The studios are the ones releasing the info. They're right like 95% of the time, and the only thing that really throws them off is bad word of mouth.

They don't have forever. Johansson will be 35 when the currently scheduled stuff is done, a gross old hag.

There are also several instances where things that would normally trigger his comics Spider Sense didn't in the movie (or I suppose he simply ignored it each time?)

At the same time mid-30s Sharon has a 100 year old aunt. Edit: Actually Emily VanCamp is only 29.

Nah, the comics have always shown Richard (Peter's father) and Ben were brothers. Ben is usually quite a bit older than Richard. Aunt May is actually not related to Peter by blood at all.

I don't know why they didn't just give her the mild superpowers deal from the comics. Then at least she can fight anyone except like Vision or Scarlet Witch.

LGD posted:They should shake it up and adapt either X-Factor or X-Statix imo- nobody is going to recognize the characters in either, but both give good setups for entertaining films that can be lower stakes and not rehash the same dramatic beats endlessly. They're doing New Mutants and X-Factor.

Captain Marvel is just going to be Sex and the City but at the end she flies and punches aliens for 15 minutes. It will bomb and Hollywood will blame women for not knowing what they want.
