James Gunn made dumb edgelord jokes ten years ago. Not only were they public this whole time, but his entire early career was literally based on this. He loving wrote Tromeo and Juliet for Christ's sake. This whole thing is bullshit and has made my interest level in GotG go to zero.

In the AvP novels from back in the 90s the whole reason they have hunts was to keep the males occupied while the females ran society. Its was literal something to keep the frat boys of Predator society something to do and off planet.

The women kicking the men off the planet to actually get poo poo done while they're off wagging their dicks at aliens is pretty great.

Super 8 seemed fine iirc. Uh, he also apparently helped write Armageddon which also had a fine ending?

You mean the alien who we tortured for years going home to tell all his alien buds about us who are surely going to come wipe out humanity, and everyone being happy about it? That ending?

Same, but it was when she appeared on The Daily Show. The book was Area 51 and it was all debunked less than a month after it was published.

ed: Apparently she wrote two more poorly-sourced books afterward on DARPA and Project Paperclip. She’s currently writing a book on ESP and Telekinesis and AMC has optioned Area 51 for a tv show.
:ughh:

Do you have a link to the debunking? Not that I don't believe it's all bullshit but both sides did crazy, stupid poo poo during the cold war and nothing is coming up when I search Google for it being bullshit.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:

I'd like to remind people that some of the hilarious complaints about Prometheus were: A billionaire seeking immortality was unrealistic, corporations were by definition rationally motivated, private space travel is for the benefit of all and not an ego stroke.

These are dumb complaints. But the man who's entire job it is to map the place gets scared and forgets he has a map literally on his wrist, but then they tell him to go look at some creepy poo poo and he remembers and does it. Instead of saying "no I'm loving terrified to the point I literally forgot I am the map man, go gently caress yourself, I'm leaving this scary ruin," which is just bad, inconsistent writing. Prometheus is ok until you think about it for five minutes. Covenant side steps being dumb but still lands in the just kinda boring camp.

Anyway, in Jason X there's a holodeck of what people in the future think the eighties were and Jason beats a girl in a sleeping bag to death with another girl in a sleeping bag. It's a masterpiece.

So? They’re still r rated comic book movies that are super violent and did well.

Also War Zone is a really bad example of a movie being "true to the comics." Regardless of how much you enjoy it, it's a very, very bad adaptation of the source material that's self parody at best.

Punisher War Zone is one of the few comic book movies that has genuinely felt like watching a comic book to me.

I didn't get this in the slightest from it. It felt like a comic book movie made by someone who hates comics, and the Punisher, and action movies.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:

How so? That movie is a loving blast from start to finish lmao

IIRC Lexi Alexander (the director) based the movie directly on the Punisher MAX comics.

It's "based" on them in that it takes elements from them and turns them into stupid jokes. Here's a character from Kitchen Irish but he's nothing like that character and does parkour for no reason and gets hit by a rocket cause lol random.

The movie is like Crank but for stupid people.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:

...that's already Crank though

also the parkour guys are a really good joke, irrespective of their names. parkour was a pretty big fad at that time, and the movie set them up like they were going to be important badasses... and then one of them just gets iced by a loving rocket out of nowhere, not because "lolrandom" but because Frank Castle does not play that poo poo.

e: like that's honestly the structure of most of the movie's jokes. the world around Frank Castle is a completely absurd action movie, but he just responds to everything with complete grim seriousness and Punisher-ness.

It just did nothing for me other than make me wish I had my two hours back. I even tried giving it another shot after the last time it came up in one of these threads and while I didn't hate it as much, other than it being very well shot, I still thought it was an incredibly bad movie. The Lundgren Punisher was even better in my opinion.

There's a difference between a cover and am entire movie. There's also a difference between the kind of humor in Ennis run, for example, than what War Zone did. I'm not anti-humor in Punisher. I just don't think War Zone was funny. Even it's decent ideas it executed insanely poorly. The scene in the Lundgren movie where there's a bunch of ninjas all posing with their katanas and he just mows them all down with a machine gun is a better version of the parkour garbage from War Zone, for example.

I think Hollywood's more or less over shared cinematic universes now, aren't they? WB seems to have more or less abandoned the idea for the DC movies (though it's hard to tell with them), Lucasfilm's cancelled all their Star Wars spin-offs, Dark Universe was DOA; I think the only one left is the Godzilla vs Kong one and that's still just two movies that are barely connected to one another.

Imagine if that had existed in the past. Imagine 1996: "Hamlet is the latest entry in the KBSASCU (the Kenneth Branagh Shakespeare Adaptation Shared Cinematic Universe" and concludes the eponymous Prince of Denmark's war with King Macbeth of Scotland. The film is nine hours long and"

I never watched the series that came from it. My understanding was that it more or less abandoned the "grounded" aesthetic from the original short and went with the supernatural stuff from the games, i.e. Shang Tsung was an other-dimensional warlord rather than a corrupt businessman who funded unsanctioned underground MMA matches.

Yeah it was just a low budget adaptation of the games.

The issue is none of these are actually Robin Hood movies. They keep trying to start out with some "the secret truth of Robin Hood/our crazy take on Robin Hood with a twist" bullshit. Just start by making a loving Robin Hood movie. If you make a good one maybe people will give a poo poo and you can do a sequel.
