I understand the struggle to keep going when there's such sadness and turmoil now, but when the dust settles, they've got four films and doubtless a bunch of extra footage to mine dialogue from, and the character wore a full body suit. They can still give him a big battle out before he's dramatically murdered by... Doom or Namor or whatever, then one CGI or recycled footage face shot, one Iron Man sized funeral, and Shuri invents a nanotech fluid approximation of the flowers and goes after justice. She doesn't even need to be the leader of Wakanda, she's already got the know how and she already made all the tech stuff anyway. Nakia, also consumed by grief and anger, is her new partner. Comedy side note is M'Baku, forced to take charge but still honor T'Challa's mandates for growth, while really wanting to just shut everything down and get back to the Jabari. Okoye keeps him on track, and works with him when they fight Kiber the Cruel, recontextualized as an ever harder line Jabari traditionalist.

That tough mudder part has always stuck with me since part of Spidey's origin is the "gently caress it I'll use my powers to win at wrestling oh no I learned a lesson" so it feels hilarious to just add another NBD sport he dominates at.

It's almost like this character that's been in multiple continuous weekly publications for nearly 60 years with a ton of different authors and artists has taken on a great deal of different personality traits, roles, and archetypes over that time.

Fangz posted:I don't think it's really terribly useful to try and define an "ideal" Peter Parker that a screen version has to emulate, everyone has a different idea of what they want. Personally I don't like Garfield not because he failed to be the Real Peter Parker or something, it's more that within the movies themselves, he was not the sort of hero I wanted to root for. He's just such an rear end in a top hat, and not in a fun way, and the movie didn't seem to even realise it. Even the whole OMG, he has to LET HIS GIRLFRIEND GO TO UNIVERSITY is such an egotistical dilemma. No, I don't think that made him relatable at all. I similarly found Maguire entirely too milquetoast. For as much as everyone likes that movie, the scene where he's getting dressed down by MJ for missing the play is painful when he could omit the Spider-Man bit from the scooter scene and say "Yeah, sorry, I got HIT BY A CAR so, you know. Also I still showed up, somehow, but your theater usher is, and I don't say this lightly or often, an absolute tool. Like he was making fun of me for getting hit by a car. You really ought to mention that guy to theater management." But instead he's just mumbling and looking at his shoes. Like I get that early Spider-Man was part of that nerd/jock dichotomy and was basically a superpowered Ziggy cartoon and everything, but those movies, at least to me, capture why that aspect of the character isn't that satisfying on screen.

Basically the scene in Civil War where he's capably handling Winter Soldier and Falcon at the same time while also complimenting them on how cool their look and powers are is peak Peter for me. Earnest, wisecracking, genuinely impressed by the people he considers above him while clearly capable of playing at or above their level. By Far From Home they seem to have abandoned the wisecracking a bit, but I think that's because the movie wanted him a little somber post-Snap and death of Tony and so on, and just offloaded his quips to others. My guess is that in the third one he'll be back to them.

Conrad_Birdie posted:It is truly wild to me to see so many people bagging on movie theaters in this thread! Honestly makes me kinda sad! There is nothing like watching a good movie in a good movie theater, and you will 100% get so much more from a film if you’re watching it on the big screen and not laying on your couch in your living room. Like, wtf? Never going to see a movie in theaters again would be crushing to me. Man I have that nasty ADHD so all I hear in a movie theater is literally any noise anyone else makes. And wouldn't you know it everyone in a theater is like "You know what sounds good right now is bags of crinkly plastic stored in other bags of crinkly plastic. Maybe also I'll just talk about my day and take selfies on my phone and poo poo." Even at home if I want to focus I have to put on the good headphones. Maybe it'd be nice if the theater industry stayed alive but it's dead to me already and I'd like to see movies closer to when everyone else does.

STAC Goat posted:To be honest I feel like the reason I never gave it a lot of thought is because Peter just hasn't been around long enough or had enough stuff outside the Stark/Avengers world for it to really hit home about how his identity being revealed affects him. Like intellectually I go "oh poo poo" but I'm not sure I feel it and feel like any kind of One More Day reset will have a huge impact. When that stinger scene dropped all I could think of was the battle in Endgame where the moment he arrives he just pops his mask off in front of two armies. Like yeah you're probably not gonna get sold out by a Ravager, Wakandan, or spare wizard, but it's not like that fight happened indoors or something, any number of civilians could have been drawn to the sound of fighting and spaceships and junk.

The protest over her being too light skinned to play America Chavez has also already started. Not that the casting announcement came with a role. Honestly I'm sort of hoping she's Zelma Stanton.

Sgt. Politeness posted:The girl they cast as Ms Marvel "too light skinned" so that's not surprising but isn't America Chavez half black? She's theoretically Afro-Latina, same as Sunspot. But also just like Sunspot, there's art of her with all sorts of skin shades.  FilthyImp posted:It's more likely she's be Nuyorican but she's from an alternate earth so that point is kind of moot. So is Miles but if they cast him too light-skinned you can be sure there'd be a huge uproar. Honestly I'm just hoping she's Zelma so this doesn't become the defining fight of the movie. theironjef fucked around with this message at 05:32 on Oct 17, 2020 |

It is at least a little amusing how a guy that more or less looks like this is now the focus of an arms race to see how much of a spike monster he can be forged into. I mean, bring back his little hat already! Spikenwolf's head looks like a steering column.

I think the thing the Lois rescue scene displayed to me was Superman's utter disregard for everyone but his girlfriend. After all, he shows up instantly when she was about to die, so he's clearly keeping tabs on her all the time with super-hearing. But he's cool with Jimmy Olson dying a few seconds earlier. No skin off his nose. Wait til Lois is threatened, you can get in another bite of sandwich. Hell, you can take it a step further too. Jimmy is a friend and coworker of Lois, and Superman doesn't think for a second that watching him brutally die right in front of her isn't good for Lois' mental well being. Because he doesn't even care about Lois in that moment! He only cares about his access to Lois. theironjef fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Nov 29, 2020 |

I will never get tired of people thinking that the only weakness a global cabal of satanists have is that they can't stop naming all their products after Satan. It's what stopped us all from filling our gas tanks with Mephistopheline and our bellies with Beelzeburgers, and we have twitter sleuths saying "Hey that name kinda looks like Satan!" to thank for our continued well being.

If they were doing a mantle pass and not a recast, I feel like the fact that Shuri was briefly BP in the comics isn't that important, she's a very different character in the comics. Seems to me like Nakia is the one whose future arc was likely to be a lot more Panther-centric, she was a champion for her tribe, and even if T'Challa is dead she's still probably viewed as family by the Queen. Plus come on, Lupita Nyong'o!

Spider-Man 2 has the scene where MJ excoriates Peter for missing her play and he doesn't bother saying "well my scooter got hit by a speeding car full of gangsters. I spent most of the night dragging the parts of my only means of transportation home. I survived though so that's nice" choosing instead to look at his shoes and experience constipated pain. "PS Also what the gently caress is up with your doorman? If you would have okay with me showing up bleeding and halfway through, well guess what I also tried that."

The best part of Aquaman was the setup of a Splash pastiche where Mera doesn't understand the ways of these silly surface dwellers so she tries eating a rose, and then the movie dodges the Tom Hanks paternalistic exasperation by just having Arthur shrug and also try some roses.

My favorite one of those excessive vaporware DC movies is the one that's a horror spinoff based entirely around the monsters from one scene in Aquaman, which is apparently unlikely to have Aquaman in it.

STAC Goat posted:I like the vague idea that Wanda and Pietro were mutants all along and the Infinity Gem awakened it. I like the idea that The Snap or WandaVision causes a chain reaction that awakens mutants en masse. It makes sense (as much as comics do) and is a fun twist on Wanda's comic history. I don't even want to keep any of the Professor and Magneto actors. I got plenty sick of every movie being about them and Mystique no matter how it started over the seemingly 34 X-Men movies that have happened already. I'd be fine with Professor X not even being in the first few MCU X-properties, and even happier to just never see Mystique again.

Wild guess but I'm thinking one future MCU movie here might be Quantumania. We're getting Kang in that which could mean all sorts of timeline shenanigans. Could find out he did a lot in that timeline to prep for Thanos and see a weird timeline long enough to be cool and maybe set up Maestro for later.

Boxman posted:Whatever is going on in Wandavision, it definitely has something to do with her kids, right? My guess might've been "she lost the children and went crazy, made a pocket universe where everything is perfect for the children." But "ladies be crazy am i rite" would be an absurdly bad look in 2021, and I can't believe it would actually make it to air, so who knows More likely she's mentally creating them in whatever dimensions she's made herself. Vision is entirely mechanical and probably wasn't up to non-metaphysical insemination.
