This is on the same level as Christopher Reeves accident as far as an actor leaving an impossible role to fill goes. He was instantly iconic. If he was doing the work he was with stage 3 cancer, I can't imagine how good he would have been healthy, either. loving tragic.

Yeah unlike Spider-Man it's built into the very premise that black panther is just a title.

She was talking about playing a trans man in that one, not GitS. I think she eventually dropped out of that movie.

She didn't specify which movie she was talking about, so I think she was referring to both. Her full comment about it being political correctness gone wild is the part that basically makes me hope she's in a horrible wheat thresher incident and has to retire and I never have to see her in anything again.

I've seen many films prior to release, and it is extremely rare to have complete vfx six months before - as in, I've never seen it ever. I understand JL had a different kind of production, but I am very suprised to hear that it was mostly complete.

The VFX are what wasn't done. That means he was most likely already at picture lock though. Which I'm surprised about because it contradicts all the talk of it being an assembly cut before.

Arist posted:

"Picture lock" is an extremely nebulous term even within the industry. JL was apparently at picture lock, but all that means is that there was some informal non-binding agreement somewhere that "okay, we'll stop loving with the edits now" that probably got violated anyway.

Yeah I'm using it as a way of saying "they knew mostly what takes they were using at least, so the VFX guys could have maybe started but who knows if they did."

If they do Phoenix in the MCU you do at least one X-Men movie before it actually shows up, but you build the force itself with post credit stuff in other movies. Then you need to have Jean as the regular rear end Phoenix for at least one movie. I would say two core X-Men movies then have her show up in at least one or two other crossover things too. Then you can turn her dark and have her be the main villain of the first big X-Men/Avengers crossover.

They've only done DKR once though?

And they waited 9 movies, 4 different series, and 6 different Batmen.

Also AvX literally just happened. That's why nobody likes it. Nobody's decades of characterization mattered there. The only positive of AvX is the costumes for the Phoenix 5, and Cyclops was Right.

There have been two animated DKR movies and both Burton and Snyder have said it was the biggest influence on 89 and BvS. Tonally for 89, except the mention of the Corto Maltese, and more in your face in BvS.

Oh right, I forgot DC still does animation.

That's a 2 part DKR rather than doing it twice though isn't it?

They did the two separate things then they did a second super cut release. So I'm counting it as two things cause gently caress those greedy bastards lol

And they didn't scream at each other. Ollie was suspicious about the Question because he didn't know him, but after him and the Question had a conversation about zen philosophy they were cool. The Question hasn't been written like Rorschach for several decades now.

While people in the JLU thinks he's a loon (allthough it turns out he's correct about everything) he's not portrayed as fascist or right leaning. In the comic he has flaws and makes mistakes, but he's aware of that and tries to be nettet. He's not the randian superman who's always in the right.

I think a lot of people conflate the Question with the Mr. A stuff Ditko did later.

Peter is a scrawny science nerd, not a skateboarding weirdo with a 200 dollar haircut.

That was 70 years ago. This is what was wrong with the Raimi movies. They're insistent on following a tone that doesn't work if it's not 1965. What an outsider today is differs from what an outsider was then.

I would be all for the Sixties time bubble of the Raimi films if it wasn't for the awful Mary Jane plots. The way she's written makes so much more sense when you realize the purpose of literally every female character is to be an obstacle to Spider-man.

If he had the balls to set it in the sixties the movies would have been much better.

Wait people don't like the dancing?

The dancing in both 2 and 3 are two of the only attempts at humor in those movies that land for me. Also, anyone who says they like the scene in 2 but not 3 is just virtue signaling. They're the same scene, even if you like the rest of 3 less.

Oh no, see - it's fine because you'll be able to watch them on your TV for the low, low price of $30. If you're very lucky it won't involve jumping through some annoying hoop or installing another new client as the studios fragment everything.

You won't be able to complain because someone who has 4 kids will appear and remind you how expensive trips to the movies are for him, and that movie theaters are basically big rackets who overcharge for snacks so they deserve to all go out of business.

As you can probably tell, I'm a bit annoyed at Cineworld having to close all their sites and seeing the only real response from people be "Ah well. Going to the movies is poo poo anyway, Netflix is only £9!!! CoMFoRT oF My oWn HOmE" like its inconceivable that while I'm spending all my time working from home it might not nice to go out to see a movie for once.

No kids, but would gladly throw in $10 to watch Batman with my roommates. That's what it would have cost us each for tickets anyway. Maybe you should get some friends. Downloading an app isn't an ordeal.

I'm fine with never going to a theater again honestly, so we've got a disconnect on how much we value the giant rip off auditorium full of the worst of humanity, I guess.

E: I may have feelings on theaters lingering from working at one but honestly they're just sticky, dirty boxes full of people who can't shut up, are jerking off, or both.

STAC Goat posted:

But that seems like the fundamental reason why I don't think the industry is gonna die. The replacement isn't sufficient. So even if the pandemic keeps going, the companies die out, and the theaters go cold they're still standing there and there's still a way to use them to make a ton of money and a reason for the studios to want to keep making that money. The idea of the theater business being dead just doesn't seem realistic to me unless we just think the pandemic is never ending. In which case it seems kind of secondary because we shouldn't be going to the movies anyway..

The pandemic is never ending. At least in the United States. There are enough brain poisoned people that even if a vaccine hits, they won't take it, and it'll gently caress it up for everyone else.

This is literally the only thing in that movie I liked about that character other than just Molina being an excellent actor. I hate so much that, just like Norman before him, he's actually a really good guy then has an outside force corrupt him. And I hate that he gets redeemed.

Ben was simply 40 years older than his brother. No big deal.

Ben's parents had him straight out of high school when they got married. They didn't have Richard till they were in their late thirties. It doesn't happen often but like, Sarah Palin's kids are gonna end up with a similar age gap between them. Or Trump's kids.

There's that but like, at that stage I don't think the MCU even had a lot of dead ones.

Iron Man - Iron Monger
Hulk - Abomination
Iron Man 2 - Whiplash and Hammer
Cap - Red Skull
Thor - Loki
Iron Man 3 - Uh... Not Mandarin?
Thor 2 - Some space elves.
Cap 3 - Hydra

Its still farly early in the MCU when Avengers 2 rolls around. I guess if you kept everyone alive you could have done a team up of Iron Man's enemies and Abomination led by Skull or Hydra or something but there was really no precedent at that time for bad guys to put on suits and start picking fights. Unless everyone idolized Mickey Rourke.

Justin Hammer gets recruited out of jail by Ross post Civil War and you get the Thunderbolts with those two, abomination, Ellen Brandt, Ghost (she's good but had to join up with them to stay alive after the snap), and then a couple of new villains. They could have done it if they wanted, they just don't want to.
