I really want to go see New Mutants but movie theatres are still closed in NY and I dick around on my phone too much when I watch movies at home, so I’m ehhhh about spending streaming rental prices on it.

twistedmentat posted:Yea, I don't know why people bring this up as some kind of black mark. They traded up from a pretty middling actor to one of the best actors working today. In addition to his performance being middling, apparently he was a nightmare to work with and his weird Terryology thing makes me think that’s almost certainly true. That’s some Timecube poo poo right there.

JordanKai posted:I was going to post something about how by the time BP2 comes out, Nyong'o would be old enough as an actress to convincingly take on the mantle of the Black Panther from her brother. However, when I went to look her up on Wikipedia I found out that she's 37. Uhhh... Shuri wasn’t played by Lupita Nyong’o, she was played by Letitia Wright, who’s a lot younger.

I honestly believed she was closer to her teens than her thirties, and I was under the impression that the character of Shuri was supposed to be a teen genius.

Retro Futurist posted:Rewatching The Avengers, and man Thanos' involvement makes less sense here than in Ultron. It makes sense when you consider that Asgard is still at full strength, and so is Ego. Both things that could absolutely gently caress him up if it becomes obvious that he wants to get all seven stones. But really they just hadn’t thought through where the story was going yet.

I’m actually wondering how they could have made Endgame work without the 2012 NYC 3 stone multiball that they accidentally ended up with. I guess getting each stone was separate enough it wouldn’t have padded the runtime that much, but it was cool they managed to bring the first avengers movie into the last one like that without it being planned in advance.Doctor Spaceman posted:Avengers ends with him talking about courting death. I don’t think he has any of his agents running around independently after that. There’s the black order but infinity war shows them under his direct command decades before and his collecting the stones starts with him tearing poo poo up personally at the end of Thor 3.

I live in NY and it’s been doing very well, but even then we don’t have movie theatres open because they want to keep it that way. I really wanted to see Tenet.

thebardyspoon posted:If true then it could be something like Ant Man and the other characters in the film encounter him and initially he seems like an ally until they accidentally mention they hosed with time in Endgame or he's just observing them knowing they did that and pretending to be an ally. Maybe like an inversion of what they did with Mysterio where he's actually an incredibly powerful being pretending to be a relative chump. Then they use that as an opportunity to give him some backstory and build him as a threat. He's the other big Avengers villain they haven't used yet aside from Zemo leading the Masters of Evil I'd say so would make sense to use him in multiple films. Yeah, my first thought was that he’s going to be the next Thanos, a presence in the movies but not the main threat for a while.

Maybe Benedict Cumberbatch? That was less because he was a bad choice and more that it was a bit on the nose.

Dan Didio posted:Give it to, gently caress, I don't know, Rosario Dawson, she'll probably knock it out of the park. I wonder what they’re going to do with casting for characters that were in the Netflix series if they use those characters again, speaking of Rosario Dawson. Some of the casting there was great but I’m guessing they don’t want people associating stuff with the Netflix series too closely.

I’m watching X Men Apocalypse for the first time since it was in theatres (gotta love Hulu auto play)and... it’s not bad but I forgot just how much it wasted Oscar Isaac. You can’t even tell it’s him at all. Still a drat sight better than Dark Phoenix though. I really do hope that Disney goes back and does Apocalypse and Dark Pheonix properly when they do some X Men movies, though. Both great villains that have never lived up to their potential in adaptations.

The Question IRL posted:The crazy thing about the new films post First Class was this. For sure. It creates a feeling of a series where it was constantly having shifts in the creative team who wanted to use their own ideas instead of the set up from the past movies, despite being run by the same person for the whole series. It’s been a pretty huge problem for all the X-films, and it’s why I’m looking forward to seeing what Marvel does with it. They’ve been really good at keeping elements moving forward from film to film in a coherent and satisfying way.

The problem is that the setup is usually incredibly perfunctory and feels like they’re thinking “well, I guess we have to do the pheonix thing so let’s start jamming it in there now”

The original X Men movies felt like they went from having an ensemble cast in the first one followed by “holy poo poo, Halle Berry and Hugh Jackman are blowing up right now, let’s really emphasize Storm and Wolverine”, and it really jacked up any setup for Pheonix in the third one. Which was a turd for other reasons, too, mind you. The new movies were mostly incoherent and couldn’t decide what to do with the characters or what ones to focus on (outside of “Jennifer Lawrence is huge now, really focus on Mystique I guess”) but they at least lucked into knocking DOFP out of the park.

Retro Futurist posted:One thing Marvel would do is not pussy foot around the Phoenix being a giant space firebird, that's what has really lacked so far Marvel definitely understands that insane comic book poo poo can absolutely work in movies, but you have to entirely commit to it. That’s where the non-DOFP new X Men movies failed to varying degrees. Dark Phoenix was like “alright, there’s aliens. But they’re just going to be basically normal people, and they’ll be led by Jessica Chastain playing Jessica Chastain. And there’s the Phoenix Force, but, like, it just melts some people. And basically none of the characters with weird appearances will be that way for most of the movie because the actors are sick of this franchise and don’t want to wear prosthetics anymore.”

I enjoy DKR but I’ll freely admit 90 percent of what I like about it has nothing to do with the movie itself and everything about it being a giant nostalgia bomb on like three different levels for me.

Between the Raimi films and Batman Begins, I will say it made it incredibly refreshing when Iron Man ended with him straight up going “I am Iron Man”. The secret identity stuff took up so much of those movies.

I do wonder how much of the contemporaneous praise for the first Raimi Spider-Man is on it’s own merits vs the fact it was the first superhero movie in decades that wasn’t loving terrible. E:I guess the first X Men movie was before that and was just mostly mediocre instead of terrible but my point stands.

Codependent Poster posted:Aunt May from the Raimi Spider-Man movies hasn't held up well with the reinterpretations being much better. Though I guess cool younger Aunt May wasn't really a thing until Ultimate Spider-Man. It was a thing in people’s heads before that, at least. Tons of “why does this high schooler have an aunt straight out of a LifeAlert commercial” jokes back in the day.

Tim Roth is great and having him be all CGIed up for all his screen time would be a waste.

They could have done it if they wanted, they just don't want to. I mean, if you're going for "why not do it instead of Ultron", Cap 3 hadn't come out yet so no Ross, Zemo, or Ghost.
