Nobody cared about that though. Terrence Howard sucks.

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.

But there's probably another fantastic young black actor who could do the part just as well.

A gas station near me has had a cardboard display with branding for this movie on it in their store for months. I don't remember what product it holds it but every time I see "WW84" in there I think it's some retro wrestling thing until I remember it's a movie that was supposed to have been released.

My theory is that Wanda's powers are either going to uncontrollably evolve into being more like the Reality Stone instead of the Mind Stone, or else they'll just retcon it so that her powers were actually always Reality Stone-based even though she was originally empowered by the Mind Stone, shh just don't think about it too much~

The part where she transfigures the furniture in the room into different styles is definitely straight up reality manipulation.

I could accept they just say that because she was snapped then unsnapped, her powers mutated. Or maybe this is taking place in some unreality when she is snapped, because of her connection to the stones she wasn't just gone, but in that weird place where baby Gamora was?

Paul Betteny is such a good actor, he really should be a bigger star than he is.

I'd love to see in a future film Fury goes "I let Coulson and his team handle Shield these days, they can take care of whatever comes across their way. I'm more worried about what's out there, and Sword will help me with that".

I still cannot get over what a brilliant move it was to make the Skrulls the good guys in the MCU. The Kree aren't exactly evil, but they're basically America.

Mulan probably did terribly on Disney+ so Disney is taking that as it's not worth putting any other new features on there.

Though I think that it is more likely that 30bux was too much, and there isn't as much interest in the love action remakes as Disney thinks.

I'd prefer to never see Hawkman in anything ever again.

Yea, not a fan of that rapey jerk. Hopefully they'll remove the whole thing where he forces Hawkgirl into a relationship because "they're meant to be together". Lol what am I saying? This is DC, they think that is still romantic.

Doing Pheonix is like how Batman keeps doing Dark Knight Returns. It's the best story ever made so we must always do it! Though Marvel would at least be not afraid to have the Shiiar appear in it. But even then, why not Brood? Why not a later story arc? I'd watch a movie of Cable and Hope running through time. It's like how I keep seeing people going "oh they're gonna do X-men Vs Avengers!" yea, no. That is a story that had decades of build up, it didn't just happen.

I stand by calling Hawkman Rapey, as he pretty much just gaslights hawkgirl into a relationship and always shits on any relationships she already has when she shows up, and he's always the one to bring it up. Some lovely writer thought this was romantic and for some reason they keep doing it.

And its been around for at least 20 years as it was in the JLA cartoon, though Batman tells Carter to go gently caress himself, which honestly, is what everyone should be doing when he does. Kendra/Shiara/hawkgirl never can have her own life.

And yea, DKReturns has influenced basically every modern Batman in some way, which is probably why I like Begins best out of the Trilogy because it feels more like Year One, though the Tumbler is heavily influenced by the Bat tank. Also Superman is influenced by it too, BvS has panels straight up in the movie. The only reason the government nukes Superman and Doomsday is so they can have that part of DKR in it.

I'm just gonna say that this is not what either rape or gaslighting actually means -- and they also don't mean the same things as each other -- and it's annoying to see them used as big buzzwords like this to sound scary and serious, and leave it at that.

I admit, I haven't read every Hawkman comic there is, but every time Carter shows up he goes to Hawkgirl and says "drop everything, you're coming with me, we're meant to be together" and she just kinda goes "I guess that's right? Time to drop my entire life because some random dude showed up and said we were meant to be together" and it always comes off super creepy and it utterly removes Hawkgirl's agency.

Exactly the kind of poo poo guys who have trouble with the concept of consent would think was romantic.

The only good Hawkman I can think of Kingdom Come where he's just killing loggers.

I've voiced my criticisms about the Raimi Spider-Mans many times over the last 20 years, and they still remain.

It feels like a movie version of the 60s cartoon. Parker being a wiener nerd who gets bullied because he's smart and likes science. Oh dear god! My job is basically herding teenagers and the idea that someone would get bullied because they are smart and are good at things that will make them successful in life is alien to them. Hell, even when I was a teen you were bullied more do to your economic status than anything besides just physical size.

Mary-Jane's plots are terrible. She should have a life of her own outside of being Parker's girlfriend/object of desire but all her plots feel like some out of touch writer going "I need to add something for the ladies to enjoy" assume women don't enjoy action or excitement. Also she seems very passive, though that's more "womens role in action movies" at the time than anything.

Though the biggest sin is the terrible Green Goblin costume that you can see the stuntman's mouth through the mask and its not moving when he's talking. They never intended these movies to be on DVD.

She ends every single movie of that trilogy captured by the big bad. I can't remember that ever happening in the comics (granted everything between Gwen dying and Secret Wars is a bit of a blind spot for me)

Say what you want about TASM1/2 (and buddy I'll say plenty), but jesus Emma Stone was a breath of fresh air next to those.


You forgot "annoying the poo poo out of his opponent by never shutting the gently caress up for five seconds" :allears:

also

It was very "90s Hollywood writing for a female character". Less a character than a Mcguffin. MJ was never passive, she was always an active character. I think the best MJ is PS4 Spider-Man's MJ. She doesn't put up with Peter's poo poo AND doesn't just sit on the sidelines!

MCU MJ is a very close second.

Lurdiak posted:

I don't think anyone's going to defend how MJ was written in the Raimi films.

Honestly, her poo poo in SM3 is way worse than any of Parkers dancing. Like that was meant to make him look like a doofus, but we were supposed to be invested in her desire to be a actor. I also have no idea what the hell Gwen Stacy was doing in that movie too.

I'm watching New Mutants, and like its not the best Fox X-men movie but its pretty good so far. It helps Anna-Taylor Joy is a pretty much perfect Illyana. Everyone else pretty much feels on point, with Maisie Williams Raine is actually better than the comic version. It probably didn't help that her comic counterpart was always crying and beating up on herself. In the film she's got a bit more self confidence.

I guess because no one saw it there hasn't been much spoiler discussion around it so I wasn't sure what to expect. But I'm not sure about Limbo just being created by Illyana rather than an actual place that she was taken to as a child as a change, and her just being a teleporter without the stepping disks is a minor nitpick. Raine and Danny being sweet on each other is adorable.

I'd not say it was a horror movie, but its certainly more horrific than any other mainstream comic movie since the Blade movies. Way Reyes a existing character? Wasn't there a super smart mutant who worked with Dr Nemesis by that name?

I really enjoy Iron Man 2, but the criticisms of it are totally accurate. loving Elon Musk, though that's before he was revealed to be a giant chud rear end in a top hat. I always like when Natasha gets introduced to Tony Pepper says "she's a very expensive lawsuit".

He said he's not using any Whedonshots in the film.

4 minutes obviously doesn't count stuff that's been pre-viz'd and he's probably not counting things that were storyboarded or roughed? That's the only way it makes sense to me, as "I always planned for a 10 minute fight with Steppenwulf and the league but here's a few bits where I decided some new poo poo could be useful, 4 minutes worth."

Yea I think what may be happening is there is 4 minutes of new stuff, but everything else is made up of stuff Synder shot, replacing the Whedon stuff.

Knock it off. Dunk on the design if you want but if you're going to say stuff like this you can say it somewhere else.

You're 100% right, that's a lovely way of putting what I was getting at. What I was saying was that a lot of the praise seems to have two aspects, the first being that THIS will prove that DC movies are superior to Marvel movies, and its somewhat cultish. Related is the comments that go "This is a more adult version of the character, gone is the baby disney Whedon version", and that makes me confused on why him being more spikey makes him more adult. Did we miss him having a giant swingin' dong? If they were just going "Whoa that looks cool" or "I like that more than the old JL design" yea go nuts, that's what you like, go for it. It's putting all this extra stuff onto the design that is confusing and makes me think people are seeing more into this movie than there is. Maybe it would have been better "some of these comments remind me of people who still are supporting Star Citizen", but then that's not fair because Synder is going to actually put out a product.

Every time i encounter the "DC movies are for adults, Marvel is for babies" attitude that a very vocal group of people are constantly harping on I get very confused. I figure its like the "you need to have a high IQ to get Rick and Morty" crowd. You're not comparing Jodorowsky to Stuart Gordon here, people.
