josh04 posted:No, there's currently one set of X-Men but they're running a pseudo-ethnostate from a sentient island/dimension. It's pretty good! Who are they? So is there no Astonishing X-Men or Uncanny or BLue and GOld teams now? What happened to X-Force and X-factor?

I grew up on the X-Men side of the Marvel World with a very basic knowledge of the Avengers, and a few others but I'd never heard of the Eternals before.

Everyone posted:Honestly, no. I remember occasionally tuning in to other shows like Suits where Rick Hoffman's Louis Litt would say "A Lannister pays his debts." Dexter after Season 4. I just watched Avatar with my son a few weeks ago - why do people hate it now? Pillowpants fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Jun 4, 2021 |

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Not only was the first season spinning its wheels for the loooooongest time but the schedule was hosed up so quite often there were weeks-long gaps between episodes - it was okay up until November then there was one episode in December, two in January, one in March, and then from April onwards it went back to weekly - which made it an even more excruciating slog Wasn't that because it was trying to show continuity with the MCU?

FilthyImp posted:It would have been a fun comparison. MCU built a whole franchise and allowed c-listers to shine. But a lot of that is built on undoing the work characters do in their solos. Yeah, but now to actually get into the MCU and start, you need to be willing to watch something like 2 or 300 hundred hours of movies and TV shows. 24 movies in 3 phases, plus the Bana Hulk, 5 Tobey and Garfield Spidermans, 13 X-Men movies, 2 Fantastic Four movies, Agents of Shield, 4 netflix shows, 3 disney plus shows. I can't believe we've spent so much time watching this poo poo.

I loving hated Xmen when it first came out….I wanted the original xmen drat it. I’ve had to rewatch most of these movies with my son recently… They nailed the casting with X1 but putting Rogue in the role Jubilee should have been in ruined it for me. I’m bothered that they made Colossus and Iceman young students given how much they’ve actually done. X3 could have been two separate Movies. I loved First class and DOFP. Apocalypse had potential but failed and served as nothing more than a set up to another failed Dark Phoenix.

Shang Chi is easily top tier MCU. I thought they we’re going to do something with Awkwafinas grandfather being dead in relation to the ten rings, but I’m glad they didn’t.

Timeless Appeal posted:To be fair, Rob is the same boat as Ledger where he proved he was a good actor a long time ago and grown men are being ridiculous and vaguely sexist that guys from girly things are in their boy thing. To be fair - I've only ever seen him in Twilight, Harry Potter and Remember Me which I didn't enjoy. I mean, he was young in HP and Twilight ruined my favorite type of movies for me - and I only knew him as the dude from Twilight when i saw RM. I want to say that, if hes a good actor, my memory of him is playing alongside Kristen Stewart who might as well be a robot. I'm going to watch Spencer soon because I hear she is good in it, but what do you recommend i watch of his?

Timeless Appeal posted:Good Time and The Lighthouse are definitely the big standouts, but I think everything post-Twilight I've seen him in is good. Now I am ashamed of myself and as a result - I will watch all five of these movies soon. Hopefully seeing Pattinson in something hes good in will make me more excited for Batman

Timeless Appeal posted:I like the game of telephone that has kind of gone with Wolverine, particularly with Jean Grey over the years. Claremont X-men has Jean call him a huge piece of poo poo who she would never gently caress in a million years right before she's literally about to kill herself to save the world. Then Wolverine's thing for Jean gets adapted into stuff like the 90s X-men show where it's unrequited love, but Jean doesn't literally hate him. And then by the time the movie exists, Scott is more or less just stuffy alsoran in a romantic comedy. And do a better job with cyclops because his emo bullshit was unwatchable

garycoleisgod posted:There is something to be said about the fact that most Batman movies of recent times have had to struggle with the fact that Batman is popular and "cool", but he's also a billionaire who fights crime by just beating the poo poo out of people and everyone kinda knows deep down that won't help and will actually make things worse. So, you want to make Batman better by turning him into Green Arrow?

If Thanos had just read some comic books, maybe he would have looked for the terribly named “mother boxes” instead. Clearly he didn’t do his due diligence.

thrawn527 posted:Yeah, I always go back to the old Michael Caine adage (no not the Jaws one). Paraphrasing because it's been years since I saw it, but it's something like, "Anytime an actor says that they passed on a role because it wasn't quite right, they're lying. They probably mean the money wasn't right. This is a job, like any other. You take the roles that give you the right money." I mean there are actors that won’t make stupid movies for the right money though.

I prefer going to movies in theaters because my kids actually stop talking for it. At home, all they do is ask question and I miss half the movie.
