Excellent OP. Questionable movies. Guess it depends on whether Black Widow is released on Disney+ but Birds of Prey may end up being the only 2020 Marvel or DC movie I see this year.

I thought the thread title was going to be a joke reference to some weird-rear end post... There's never a good cancer but that one seems especially harsh. drat. Just really shocking and sad news. What a loss.

Surely some of the directors would have known. I imagine you have good days and bad days (or bad days and worse days  ) and that would be hard to hide or make excuses for during the entirety of a movie shoot...?

TwoPair posted:I'd have figured they'd want to hold back on the time travel for a while after Endgame but whatever I guess. At this rate the movie won't be out for a while yet. And while it might be too soon, this feels like trying to acknowledge the consequences of time travel or doing a First Contact thing where using time travel alerts others to the Avengers. Though the movies don't have to be heavy on time travel. Kang could initially appear from another time and then just stick around and try to conquer everything without anybody going to and from different times.

Occurs to me I don't know much about Kang. Never came across him in comics except for young Kang in the original Young Avengers run. Haven't read too many Avengers or FF where he would have shown except for many years ago reading the original Lee/Kirby stuff. I know the gist but it's not like other major villains that have been used where I have a sense of what's a good adaptation or not.

Daredevil had issues but an adaptation should nail the characters first and foremost and I loved Murdock, Nelson, and Fisk. I would keep coming back for them. Charlie Cox was perfect.

You can build a decent superhero team out of the characters Canadian actors play. She-Hulk Shang-Chi Wasp Maria Hill Mantis Strength, martial arts, flight, funding, secret agent skills and SHIELD connections, mental powers. And then there's the biggest one but Deadpool is Fox and not MCU.

I wonder how many heroes have stories about their blood. Cap definitely does. Arguably both the highest and lowest points in all of Spider-Man's history has to do with his blood. The Master Planner Saga kicks off because of a transfusion for Aunt May and then obviously the Clone Saga is self-explanatory.

I find it funny that the comics had decades to build up the potential weirdness of their relationship but in the movies the sum total of their relationship is maybe ten minutes of screentime? I know comics-to-movies always have a strong recency bias but the leap they're doing here seems big. But in a good way. Weird is good.

Shirkelton posted:It kind of sucks and feels a little weird, but I did think Bettany and Olsen did a pretty good job of selling it with the very small amount of time they had. As a comics fan it's great to have movies for action spectacle but it's better to have TV shows to explore the characters and slice-of-life aspects and minutiae. So while a part of me wanted more big budget CG for The Adventures of Hex Lass and Mister Intangible, I'm totally down for a quirky character drama exploring various genre styles and tropes that the movies would be too... boring/restrained to ever do.

X-O posted:The only stamp of approval needed. I guess if she's truly a newcomer there's nothing to evaluate her on but she sounds pretty good. Keep forgetting that this is supposed to be a series. I feel like that will serve her character so much better for her to start out, especially if they do reference Captain Marvel because the meta effect of the former being in a TV show and the latter being in a movie helps sell her looking up to Carol.

Lurdiak posted:I see zero% of Spider-man or Peter Parker in Tom Holland's performance. The "Avengers" bank heist is where MCU's Spider-Man was at its best. The rest of the time MCU Spider-Man isn't really being intentionally funny, but accidentally so. Lurdiak posted:I don't know, maybe because it's the core of the character? I'm not asking for him to dress like that and talk about wheatcakes or go to the hopscotch or whatever, I just think being a shy nerd who gets picked on is a pretty timeless thing, and the interest in science is directly tied to his crime fighting. Bullying still exists, in case you weren't aware, and Spidey's whole thing is being relatable because of his real human problems, dealing with bullying being one of them. Him being some kind of above-it-all outsider just didn't work, and it was one of the many baffling choices in the film. Peter is a nerd but I don't buy him as shy or mega dorky the way Tobey was. Being a nerd or getting picked on high school is relatable but there are lots of different types of nerds and lots of reasons why someone would be bullied or outcast in school, especially if the students mostly grew up together through earlier grades.

Aside from his general demeanor and sense of humour style the one thing that helped define Peter for a long time was the chip on his shoulder. He had an angry edge to him often when things weren't going his way and thought things were unfair. It's not just circumstances or misunderstandings that cause problems for him, sometimes he's actually a bit of a dick! It's why the spider powers went to his head. You hate to see him act that way when it happens but it also makes him so much more real and relatable. They've filed down that edge since and most adaptations and newer versions make him more of a golden boy. In the movies I think the only time you really see it is the "I missed the part where that's my problem" part of the very first movie.

Guardians 1 and 2 are still basically Star Lord movies. For both heroes or villains movies can have a ton of characters but they will follow one or two. Sinister Six will be about Dr. Octopus or Osborn or Vulture and the rest will be along for the ride. Brotherhood of Evil Mutants is Magneto's team. Comic book fans are the ones least able to imagine comic book movies because they are attached to the characters before they ever appear on the screen and feel the characters need equal weight and attention and respect when they do appear but it rarely if ever works that way.

Where do the FF go to earn their adventurer cred? Ant-Man and the Wasp have laid claim to the micro, the Avengers have dabbled in time travel and other universes, as apparently will Dr. Strange and Spider-Man, Black Panther has already been established, and you've got cosmic stuff pretty well covered so far with Captain Marvel and Thor and the Guardians. Where can they boldly go where no superhero has gone before? Negative Zone?

I didn't mind the invisible part, I just thought it was weird that that plane was fully fueled and somehow flew directly from DC to Egypt or they just skipped over the part where they had to invisibly land and steal fuel from somewhere.

I was not expecting these episodes to be entirely the old sitcom and that's part of why I've been so impressed with Olsen in the role. She acts like a modern person but also really turns it on as the TV wife. Sitcoms are in the Olsen blood I guess. As Gaz-L basically said, Hanh is perfect for this but that's not surprising. Had to laugh when Debra Jo Rupp showed up as well because if you want sitcom experience and selling the notion of sitcom she's a perfect choice.

I'm waiting for that DC comics subscription to become available in Canada later this year and then I can go to town. I've read my fair share of Superman, Batman, GL, and Flash over the years but yeah, not a lot of their big/event/crossover/famous miniseries comics.
