Title: Sequel of the Marvels Avengers confirmed and dated
Post by: Bad News GBK on August 16, 2012, 10:05:16 pm
Disney just announced the sequel for the Avengers
Releasedate is the 1st May 2015
The release will follow Iron Man 3’s May 3, 2013 release and Thor: The Dark World, which is set for Nov. 8, 2013.
Marvel’s 2014 releases include Captain America: The Winter Soldier (April 4, 2014) and a Guardians of the Galaxy film set for an Aug. 1, 2014 release.
Disney has released an official statement, which notably doesn't call the film The Avengers 2. Instead, it's listed as Untitled Marvel's Avengers Sequel
The movie is again directed and written by Joss Whedon. He is also developing a TV project for ABC with Marvel characters through June 2015. “He will also contribute creatively to the next phase of Marvel’s cinematic universe,” Disney promised in the statement about Avengers 2
I will update this first post when there are more infos

Captain America: Winter Soldier news time! (http://www.avclub.com/articles/scarlett-johansson-will-be-in-the-captain-america,86159/) Scarlett Johansson will be appearing in this movie, which isn't that big of a surprise, given that she is pretty important to the original Winter Soldier arc in the comics.
There are also reports listing five different actresses in the running for Cap's love interest in this movie (which will probably be Sharon Carter, the niece of Peggy Carter aka the love interest in the first movie). One is named, I shit you not, Imogen Gay Poots. But that's not the important thing! These actresses, they're all British (OK one Australian too) except for one person: Community's Allison Brie!!!!!!!
(a quick aside, the directors of this movie are the Russo brothers, who previously directed a bunch of Community episodes)
so yeah, I guess this love interest will be British like her movie-verse aunt (I suspect they'll just change that relationship to grand-niece or granddaughter in the movie). And Allison Brie played a British person in The Five Year Engagement, and apparently her accent was pretty well done. ANNIE/CAP OTP

Ant-Man will be released after Avengers 2. (http://www.avclub.com/articles/antman-gets-a-2015-release-date-allowing-for-three,86696/)
Hmm, I guess this means no Ultron, but does that necessarily mean Thanos is the big bad for Avengers 2? Is that one quote from Whedon about the sequel being smaller and more personal still relevant?

Might as well post some news about that S.H.I.E.L.D. series too.
A few weeks ago the cast list was revealed (http://www.avclub.com/articles/meet-the-first-characters-from-joss-whedons-shield,86108/), prompting Whedon fans everywhere to guess which role would be played by which recurring Whedon actor. Like those two nerdy agents, that's totally gonna be Fran Kranz and Amy Acker.
Spoiler: possible spoiler for the series? maybe? it's still just a cast member being confirmed(click to see content)
Then it was revealed that Clark Gregg a.k.a. Agent Coulson will also star in this series (http://www.avclub.com/articles/joss-whedon-resurrecting-one-of-the-many-nice-peop,86675/); however, it is unknown what role he will be playing. A resurrected/was-never-dead-due-to-Life-Model-Decoy Coulson? The Vision, an android with Coulson's brain patterns, as had been rumored?
Or maybe Fury found an urn of Osiris and performed a resurrection.
Then today Ming-Na Wen (Chun-Li from the Street Fighter movie, Mulan from Mulan, and Dr. Chen on ER) was announced to be playing another, unlisted character, an ace pilot. So it's been kind of boring I guess but still! New Whedon show!!!

Well they need to cockslap those studios and take Wolverine and Spider-Man by force.
Great understanding of film rights, there.
Well I'm pretty sure Marvel Studios/Paramount could just walk up to Marvel Enterprises/Fox/Columbia and just BUY the rights. Hell they should get Stan Lee to pimp smack them. Amazing Spiderman was pretty alright, but they're lucky they didn't fuck that up after Spider-Man 3. . . .hell The whole trilogy was shit from the start (from comic nerd comparing it to the source standpoint.) But oh my GOD the Wolveri--- I mean X-Men movies have been WAAAAAAY too hit and miss for me.
I really don't see why all the studios don't grow a brain and pitch in their most profitable bargaining chip in the Avengers and up the interest/profit of said property.
I mean SHIT, I've always hated Fantastic 4 and THOSE movies....*shudder*....but ANYWAY could you just IMAGINE Dr. Doom being done right in the Avengers movies? They have Thanos . . . .so this can lead to delicious Doom + Infinity Gauntlet awesome fest. Good god Thanos vs. Doctor Doom in the next movie.
NO WAIT. Just make Civil War or . . . . .
Okay okay. Take Avengers cast, then throw in Wolvie, Spidey, and a CORRECTLY portrayed Deadpool by Ryan Reynolds (Yo he was PERFECT in the beginning of Origins.) and mix it all together for delicious nerdgasms on the big screen. Shit I could keep going on and on, but I'll shut up.

Buying by force something that is not for sale ? That's just getting better.
Quote
and a CORRECTLY portrayed Deadpool by Ryan Reynolds (Yo he was PERFECT in the beginning of Origins.)
Everyone's been teasing that a proper Deadpool movie was in the work, Ryan Reynolds is already in, and supposedly it shits on the Origins movie to retcon it out in a proper Deadpool fourth wall smashing way. Those who have had a hand on it, including Ryan Reynolds, have all said the movie did justice to Deadpool. We just don't know when it's actually going to be made for real and come out. That's been going for, what, two years ? I don't think a year was even passed after Origins when they first started hinting at it. Haven't heard about it after Green Lantern was deemed a failure, even though it should make Reynolds free since there wouldn't be a GL 2.
And Deadpool in an Avengers-related movie would be bad. Way too much to throw in.

Remember how the Evangelion Movie was supposed to be made and released in 2010? Yeaaaaaaah. Nah I understand the movie rights and properties. I just think Marvel/Stan Lee was fucking stupid when they decided to sell them out separately instead of a bundle deal. I bet they are kicking themselves after Avengers global sales hit and were like 'Shit...imagine what New Avengers could make...."
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Avengers sequel due in 2015
Post by: DKDC on November 21, 2012, 07:35:04 pm
Hum, Marvel was getting completely broke when they sold the movie licence to Fox and Sony. They pretty much had to do it or die. And saying "they should have made a bundle deal" is just random and coming way after the facts.

Stan Lee had no involvement with the deal, he hasn't had a say over Marvel stuff since he stepped down from being EIC. And even then he wouldn't had much say in that deal if he was EIC when the deal happened.
And the reason they didn't do a bundle deal is because the studios weren't interested in any property that wasn't A-list; no one was willing to even experiment with doing movies with characters like Iron Man or Thor.
Well I guess there was Blade but I don't even know how that happened. Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill, I guess.
Haven't heard about it after Green Lantern was deemed a failure, even though it should make Reynolds free since there wouldn't be a GL 2.
He might be GL in the JL movie. Or not. I don't know. DC is crazy.

Post by: DKDC on November 22, 2012, 09:55:38 am
Unless Fox and Sony really just don't want to sell the rights back. Which is the case. They only have to keep making movies out of them, when they don't the rights revert to Marvel. But they do. (at least for one of them, I'm not sure if it was the case for both)

Yeah, that's what happened (or is going to happen? I don't know if it's a done deal) with Daredevil because Fox didn't want to give up the rights to the cosmic characters it's got as part of its Fantastic Four deal. All they have to do is keep rebooting it ever 10-15 years to keep if profitable.
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Avengers sequel due in 2015
Post by: Djoulz on November 23, 2012, 01:18:54 pm
Daredevil's rights went back to Marvel in October this year (and i doubt 1 year prior to this, people would have thought it could happen) so really, anything is possible in the future, especially after something as awful as the 2 Fantastic Four movies made (which didn't reach the heights the execs were hoping for): it "could" eventually lead to the rights reverting back to Marvel because those movies are based on characters less mainstream anyway... i agree though: big successes like the Spiderman or Xmen movies probably won't fall into that category,as they are a very nice cow to milk for a while

Ooh, neat, he's great. He was also the Flash in JLU, so he'd be a good fit for Star Lord too. Marvel's Phase Three will likely consist of Ant-Man and Dr. Strange movies. (http://www.avclub.com/articles/marvel-sortof-confirms-that-antman-and-doctor-stra,91678/) So yeah, it seems like the only reason Ant-Man is happening is because they wanted a chance to work with Wright, and that while it will be set in the MCU, “it’s also through the lens of Edgar Wright", which is gonna rock.
Dr. Strange is more troubling, because the screenwriters are the guys behind the Conan the Barbarian reboot. Hopefully they'll rewrite the script and/or get a good enough director to overcome the deficiencies.

And almost as sad is that one of the other contenders didn't get it either, the wonderfully named Imogen Gay Poots. Seriously, that's an amazing name.

no civil war should not be brought into the movie universe at all. That thing was just bad. Although I can't see RDJ's Iron Man being the bad guy here (he wasn't supposed to in the comics but he totally came out that way) he's way too awesome for that. Planet hulk was okay, but it was dragged out too much in the comics imo. WWH in the movies would be bad.

Even more news!
Captain America 2 has an official synopsis now that's it's in production. (http://www.avclub.com/articles/captain-america-the-winter-soldier-gets-a-synopsis,96224/) I think it was mentioned earlier, somewhere, that Toby Jones (Armin Zola) was returning, but here's another confirmation, which is important, because I want a hulking robot guy with a TV face chest! And that SHIELD pilot has a new name, Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. (http://www.avclub.com/articles/joss-whedons-shield-show-has-a-new-name-synopsis-a,96185/), (which is just unwieldy), a synopsis (Coulson returns and puts together a team of agents to take on various cases), and a cast, which is, surprisingly for a Joss Whedon show, devioid of anyone who has previously been in a Joss Whedon show.
Wait... no way... J. August Richards is also in it?!?! Gunn, from Angel!? Whoa! He'll be playing a top-secret role. Wonder if it'll be original, or an established character. Still, didn't expect Richards, I expected maybe Enver Gjokaj or Fran Kranz or Amy Acker. But he's a good actor, if under-appreciated by many.

I think it's a smart way to make this more palatable if they do it right. A motley group of random aliens are collected by and escape from some weird and powerful alien. Along the way they encounter dangerous aliens that are also a part of the collection. Also the weird alien's boss is that guy at the end of Avengers. With the exception of the end, that plot could be Men in Black 4.

Maybe this is just me, but I didn't mind the first Daredevil movie (well, the director's cut of it anyway) and really can't see the guys at Marvel finding a suitable role for Kingpin outside of the late Michael Clarke Duncan.

So I went to see Iron Man 3 today, was as expected... AWESOME. The buddycop moments with Tony and Rhodey were great. The Quasi-Al-Queda Mandarin I thought was well done, however a later revelation will leave some fans miffed. I wondered how they would top the suiting up scenes from the previous movies, Avengers particularly, and man did they do a good job.
All in all, was really good. However... if you are going in expecting an Extremis storyline, don;t get your hopes up.

He can always afford to make more armors, if he had the time and resources to make all the other models autonomous and equippable on the fly. still, what a waste of a Hulkbuster...
Killian's "end" wasn't very convincing - when he was first trapped in the armor I figure he'd be sent to space, but nope, so what followed felt underwhelming - maybe the plan is to pull a Loki and bring him back as an antagonist for Avengers 2, if Thanos still isn't the antagonist for that? Between the tech and the functional immortality, he might give Hulk and the gang a run for their money - and more excuses to go to space to properly dispose of him, who knows.
I liked how they handled the Mandarin, reminded me of how they worked in the classic Captain America outfit in the Captain's own movie. Similarly for Iron Patriot, which initially seemed like a nod to the comics, but became relevant further on.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
For all I know about the comics version, it's essentilly the same role with different characters.
FYI, the scene after the credits doesn't reference an incoming movie this time, but there's a nice nod to the recent past and, well, to the very beginning of the actual movie.

A topic of discussion among many fans lately is whether Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. will renegotiate with Marvel Studios for future appearances in their films. The Hollywood Reporter says that the actor met with Kevin Feige and many other executives last night to begin laying out the groundwork for his return. Insiders say that the negotiations looked to his return as the character in the upcoming Avengers 2 and a third "Avengers" film. A fourth Iron Man film was said to not be included in the talks as it is unclear if Downey Jr. is interested in another stand-alone feature as the character.
Beyond the news that Marvel is developing a third "Avengers" movie, THR also revealed that the studio has scripts in development for Ms. Marvel and a reboot of the character Blade (whose screenrights were recently returned to Marvel). Other films still in the pipeline at Marvel, with no production date in sight, include Doctor Strange, Iron Fist, Black Panther and The Runaways.
Furthermore, Kevin Feige spoke with Collider and said there are currently no plans to make spin-off films for the characters War Machine (played by Don Cheadle) or The Falcon (Anthony Mackie in the upcoming Captain America: The Winter Soldier).
Which of these movies do you want to see in the future? Would you rather have an Avengers 3 than Iron Man 4? Sound off below!

The armor's internal explosives weren't enough to kill him, they just burnt off all his skin and probably embedded shrapnel everywhere. Extremis was shown to have revived more damage than that. And Pepper threw an ANTI TANK MISSILE at him. He ain't getting up from that.
Black Panther film could be great too, let's just hope Hudlin stays away. And get Christopher Priest as a consultant or something.

SHIELD was officially picked up. (http://www.avclub.com/articles/abc-picks-up-new-marvel-show-shield-latest-from-aw,97629/) Yay! Do note that Joss Whedon is involved only in an executive producer capacity, and that the showrunner will be Jeffery Bell, a writer and director on Angel (his resume on that series is pretty great, he even co-wrote the finale, which is a VERY GOOD sign). And now some bad news. Some really bad, unbelievable, this-can't-be-happening news: Jeph Loeb is going to be a producer on the show.
... I... I hurt. Why is this happening? Does the universe hate me? :qq:
Also, that Big Hero Six thing turned out to be Disney doing a CG movie of that. (http://www.avclub.com/articles/disney-chooses-big-hero-6-for-its-first-inevitable,97535/) Now, it isn't clear whether it's part of the MCU, but I think it has a strong chance at it.
Dr Strange?....mmmm strange, may be worth a shot, but still I want a Deadpool movie, even cartoon would be nice
But wherever would they find the people who could make a cartoon for a mature audience (mature as in blood and stuff, not actually mature subject matter), who can stage great action sequences, who have a strong grasp of meta-humor and experience breaking the fourth wall, and who have a love of X-Men and related characters?

It wouldn't have to be the same style and tone; plus, Frisky Dingo starts off as a superhero riff (though of course it becomes a sprawlingly insane tale of giant ant babies, thwarted presidential campaigns, Mr. Ford, and big pants), so it's not like they're foreign to the concept.

It's not just a matter of the animation (but let's be honest, there's no way Reed and Thompson would change the way they've been doing stuff since Sealab) or whether they can construct a set piece well. There's a manic energy and humor to the best Deadpool comics I've read that I just don't see them being able to capture. The closest equivalent I can think of IS Sealab and even that insanity isn't quite the tone I'm thinking of.
Ugh, I'm not doing a good job at this. How about this: I feel like Reed and Thompson would give me The Looney Tunes Show, and I'm looking for Looney Tunes.

Hmm, depends on whether that crossover with Fox thing is real or not. IIRC Fox and Marvel share Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, but Marvel cannot mention they're mutants, nor can they mention their father.
I suppose they might be able to get away with making an oblique reference to Magneto, perhaps labeling him a terrorist with magnetism or something.

actually, fox rights are only over movie rights, which is why you keep getting spiderman cartoons , they make money for marvel.
So... maybe whedon can use mutants on the tv show, and will introduce magneto there.

I dunno, it doesn't seem all that likely that they'd want to introduce another, separate Magneto, portrayed by someone who isn't Ian McKellen. It's just way too confusing for a general audience. Plus, there's no way they could pull off his powerset on a TV budget; no one wants another Heroes situation.
There's probably some legal mumbo-jumbo that would allow Fox to sue or something to prevent another live-action depiction of Magneto on the grounds of it being too confusing for their customers or some bullshit like that.
Sigh. :(

fox tried to sue them when they made mutant x and lost.
edit: actually the actor familiarity might work towards whedon, just have ian mckelen show up on one episode with a cape and a helmet, menacingly hinting towards a connection between the twins and him and bam, you have magneto without having to say who he was. this would work for wolverine too.

Mutant X really wasn't the same kind of thing, though. No shared characters, nothing from X-Men at all, and even the way mutants came about were different. It was a completely separate property.

OK hold up, found something more interesting than boring legal issues: stuff about Coulson coming back! (http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/25760.html)
Joss Whedon said:
I’ve worked in comics, TV, and fantasy for a long time and I know there is a right way and a wrong way to do stuff like that... it’s all about earning everything, so that people don’t believe you lied, or that you put one over on them, that you have an explanation that you buy.

Hmm, thinking about resurrections in Whedon shows...
Spoiler: spoilers, obviously(click to see content)
Buffy Summers, Buffy The Vampire Slayer: magic resurrection via friends, consequences of which reverberate throughout that season (and I guess the next one, sort of) Darla, Angel: magic resurrection via evil law firm, consequences of which reverberate through 3 seasons Spike, Angel: kinda maybe possibly never died? No, wait, he definitely burned turned to dust at the end of Buffy, the amulet that he pops out of was just another magical resurrection, I guess. The... consequences of which reverberate throughout that season! :gonk: Paul Ballard, Dollhouse: umm, well, I dunno if this counts, but he got shot and died, and then his brain got uploaded into Echo's head to hang out with all the other imprints, I guess? And no, the consequences of this didn't reverberate throughout the season because this was the final episode, you jerk. Warren Mears, Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics (season eight): oooh! it's one of those "he wasn't actually dead" ones! Somehow, despite being flayed alive. And the First Evil appearing in his form, despite only being able to do that with dead people... oh right, he was said to have been "dead for a minute or two" or something. Still, it's a cheat! Finally!
this was all off the top of my head, because I've wasted my life. And yes it's totally relevant. >:[
Fox sued because they felt that Mutant X was made and advertised as an "X-Men replacement," and that it was too similar to X-Men, thus infringing their rights. It's really not the same thing as using the exact same characters.

Astonishing wasnt bad, it understood the premise of cyclops completely, and portrayed both him and wolverine very well.
It just had a few bad whedon moments, like unexplained ressurections, which in the long run shouldnt really affect a comic book reader much.

actually, fox rights are only over movie rights, which is why you keep getting spiderman cartoons , they make money for marvel.
So... maybe whedon can use mutants on the tv show, and will introduce magneto there.
when it comes to Fox rights, it seems it applies only on the characters being mentioned as "mutants"...i read somewhere that the names of X-men characters (like Scarlet or Quicksilver for example) could be used in a Marvel movie like Avengers 2, as long as they arent referred to as being actual mutants.
by the way, recent Bryan Singer tweet confirms an actor as been cast as Quicksilver in X-men Days Of Future Past (http://m.ca.ign.com/articles/2013/05/23/bryan-singer-reveals-quicksilver-is-in-x-men-days-of-future-past)

That Quicksilver thing is really looking like a giant F U from Fox (http://www.avclub.com/articles/bryan-singer-adds-quicksilver-to-xmen-days-of-futu,98172/); he's only gonna be in one action scene and probably won't even be revealed to be Magneto's son. I do wonder if Marvel is gonna press ahead with him in Avengers 2, since it doesn't sound like people will grow very attached to the Days of Future Past Quicksilver. :-\
Also, interesting further reading on the Fox vs. Marvel situation. (http://www.hitfix.com/motion-captured/why-are-fox-and-marvel-having-a-showdown-over-x-men-and-the-avengers-2)Lee Pace, of Pushing Daisies, might be in Guardians of the Galaxy as the main villain, the Controller. (http://www.avclub.com/articles/lee-pace-gets-to-be-in-guardians-of-the-galaxy-aft,96912/) Either that, or, as the AV Club speculates, "the fearsome Doctor Eyebrows, a character we just made up. 'I see your strategic gambit and raise—my eyebrows!' Doctor Eyebrows will shout, as his eyebrows bristle and shoot lasers or something."
Also rumored is John C. Reilly, according to a strange report. (http://www.avclub.com/articles/john-c-reilly-could-be-in-guardians-of-the-galaxy,98278/[/url) Supposedly he'll be playing the S.H.I.E.L.D. (and not S.W.O.R.D. !?!?) liason to the GotG, a sort of space-Coulson. Except... he's named after the guy who gives Richard Rider his Nova powers (and then dies because he's Marvel's Abin Sur). And there's already an existing character that would make way more sense in the role (Abigail Brand), so why go with this?
But it gets weirder, like Michael Rooker, who plays Yondu, is supposed to be the big villain and also be a space pirate, despite comics Yondu being a hero from the future who does not engage in piracy. And then Lee Pace's character will switch sides to be a hero with spin-off potential (?!?), and there's another liason and what is going on does this Hitflix guy even know what he's talking about. Then there's this stuff about Robert Downey Jr's contract negotiations, and the problems therein. (http://deadline.com/2013/05/robert-downey-jr-avengers-marvel-negotiations-fight/) Marvel has apparently been cockblocking any attempts by Disney to give reasonable (for blockbuster movies) salaries for its stars. Kind of worrying, and not just for RDJ, because this could potentially affect everyone in the cast, sooner or later. And it all seems to be caused by the legendarily stupidly frugal, absolutely batshit insane Marvel CEO, Ike Perlmutter, who also is kind of racist, maybe. (http://www.deadline.com/2012/08/disney-and-marvel-do-damage-control-ike-perlmutter-from-media-attacks/)
Fun facts about Ike Perlmutter, courtesy of Marvel Comics: The Untold Story, by Sean Howe, AVAILABLE IN FINE BOOKSTORES EVERYWHERE:
"Perlmutter faxed [a guy who was trying to buy Marvel at the same time Perlmutter was] a clutch of threatening pages from the Old Testament"
"[He demanded] that paper clips not be thrown away, that lights be turned off of an office was vacated for more than five minutes."
"After all coffee machine and bottles of water were removed from the Bullpen, word got around that Perlmutter was pushing for a policy of urinalysis for all employees."
He cancelled a Christmas party designed to boost office morale because it was too expensive.
A number of freelancers started getting letters claiming overpayment and demanding money; famously, Steve Gerber received a bill for $53, after years and years of struggles against Marvel for underpaying him for his creations.
He refused to pay for a booth at Comic-Con one year, despite it being Comic-Con for crying out loud.
"Once, when Perlmutter heard that some employees were involved in a Fantasy Football league, the staff returned from a meeting to find all computers confiscated. Social, frivolous lunchtime activities—a half hour of watching television, or playing Dungeons & Dragons—were banned from the office."
you know, except X3 ... wait, what is X3? oh that's right, they never made a 3rd one!
What are you talking about, of course they did!
It was called X-Men: First Class!
Goodness Michael Fassbender Gracious. I am sorry, you are correct.

But what does this mean for Michael Rooker's character? Seems like they have enough villains, and he was rumored to be the main one, does that mean the rumors are wrong and he won't be an evil space pirate even though Yondu is a good guy?

He could easily be a setup. a pirate alien fighting huge armies, then cut to current time period with people talking about his exploits.
Later on the movie, when facing collector from inside his collection they find Yondu stuff and a recorded message about how he was actually a guardian of the galaxy and they take the name from him.
edit: this will make more sense if he is facing Magus church, as people wont assume the church is evil.

Oh. I guess the JARVIS becoming Ultron thing is just speculation. But it's not that out there, what with the "Ultron is in the house" comment. But still, that might be reading into that too literally.
But yeah, I don't think losing Pym is a big loss. They haven't even introduced Pym yet, so the whole "OH NO TRUSTED SUPERHERO CREATED A MONSTER" angle wouldn't have been pulled off too well (and if the Ant-Man movie plot of Pym being the 60's Ant-Man is still going on, it'd be even harder to do so, who cares about old people). If indeed Stark is the guy behind it, it makes the most sense from a story point of view. I just don't think the change matters too much. :-\

(I'm talking about the general audience) But then again, we don't know for sure that Stark is the one who ends up creating Ultron, so who knows.

Also this bloats stark characterization unreasonably
Eh, I dunno about that, and Stark is pretty much the main character in the MCU, so it makes much more sense to center the whole "I'VE CREATED A MONSTER" dynamic on him and not a just-introduced new guy that nobody gives a shit about. (I'm talking about the general audience) But then again, we don't know for sure that Stark is the one who ends up creating Ultron, so who knows.
The topic title could use an update, should it be Age of Ultron or Agents of SHIELD (since it's the thing debuting soonest)?
I non poiltely disagree >:C
In the emh version you still had stark creating it with pym, so that's not the issue, the issue is having ultron ( who is supposed to be a strong personality) being solely stark responsability. The ultron movie didnt need to touch on pym other than references, to just claim out stark as the super duper guy that can do everything and is connected to everyone you create a bloated nexus, it doesnt allow the mcu to develop more. Imagine if tomorrow dr strange movie was announced and stark was actually dr strange , or luke cage movie come up and stark was doing the experiments that gave him steel skin. You need to let the universe properly grow imo.
Also simon pegg should be pym, just saying.

Speaking of Pym, I heard he's going to be in the Ant-Man movie.....and he'll be like 70 years old. While Scott fucking Lang is going to be the main character (if they don't change it to O'Grady at the last minute).

Post by: Iced on July 25, 2013, 09:38:54 pm
its not clear so far.
Originaly ( before mcu become a thing ) it was going to be an adaptation of "To steal an antman" with pym as a seventy year old inventor and lang stealing his stuff.
Marvel forced them to do a rewriter, its not clear if the rewrite will keep the same tone or what. I really hope they ditch Lang cuz he was the blandest of all antmen, his characterization was basically "HAS A DAUGHTER"

There was also gonna be flashbacks of Pym being Ant-Man in the 60s, I think? But those rumors came out, what, almost a decade ago?

But, uh, Stark already is a super duper guy in the movies. He already has an advanced AI developed (JARVIS) and is an expert at designing super advanced robotics. He doesn't need Pym to make the AI, if in fact Stark ends up developing Ultron in the new movie, and if it ends up with him developing it alone. If it does end up being Stark, it will likely stem from the whole Iron legion thing (I forgot the official name, sue me), which I think would be pretty interesting. A token reference to Pym would only cheapen Pym himself, I think, more so than just cutting him out.
Imagine if tomorrow dr strange movie was announced and stark was actually dr strange
But that's not even remotely the same thing. Pym is more than just the creator of Ultron (and more than just the guy who slapped his wife once). It really isn't vital to Ultron as a character and as a narrative device that he is created by a guy named Hank Pym, what is vital is that a superhero created it in an act of unthinking hubris and didn't realize the consequences of their actions. Seems like that would fit Stark to a T. And moviegoers have a deep relationship and care deeply about Stark, and not a random dude named Hank Pym, having Pym make the AI portion would basically deflect most of the responsibility for Ultron onto Pym, and not Stark. I really think it's the best, most logical choice to exclude Pym from it, and have Stark fill in.

Yeah pym as an old ass super hero that lang was stealing for, it was really crappy. The whole Pym as dr who thing they have got going on for the last ten years is cooler.

I disagrees. Jarvis was never said to have been made by Stark. By making him the core of everything invention related you pretty much exclude all other scientists. He might as well also invent pym particles and create modok, because at this point this also makes him the inventor of vision by proxy.

You need the moviegoers to start spreading their interest by other characters, otherwise you might as well have ironman show up in guardians of the galaxy to atract moviegoers and who does th--- BEEEEEEEEEENDIS!

JARVIS just makes more sense as being made by Stark; Occam's razor and all that stuff. At the very least, he upgraded JARVIS to allow it to simultaneously pilot 40+ Iron Man suits; he's clearly no slouch at AI development. Stark developing Ultron is just one thing, it doesn't mean he should be taking over the entire movieverse. There are already plenty of scientists that have been introduced already (Dr. Selvig, Dr. Natalie Portman) that cover areas Stark has no experience in, the same would be true of Pym particles and the like.
I almost Maya Hansen and Adrian Killian, but, well, Stark was able to half-assedly fix most of their problems, so... :-X

The nature of Ultron's creation requires a character that moviegoers will be very familiar with, IMO. Pym just won't do, even if he was the entire focus of the Ant-Man movie.

Vin Diesel as Vision is just a rumor, all that's known is that he negotiated some kinda role with Marvel.
I enjoy Scott Lang more than Hank Pym. Maybe without Hank in the Avengers movie Ultron won't be as dumb and build like 3 of his enemies. Also a good reason I can think of why Hank won't be in the movies is because it would be a PR disaster(HE SLAPPED HIS WIFE!) and no matter what you think of the scene Hank will never grow out of it whether you like him or not.

Guardians character descriptions: (http://comicsalliance.com/marvel-studios-kevin-feige-guardians-of-the-galaxy-character-descriptions/)
Quote
Rocket Raccoon (rumored to be voiced by Bradley Cooper): ”[He] has been genetically and mechanically altered, he’s an experiment from one part of the galaxy.”
Groot (rumored to be voiced by Vin Diesel): ”A species that happens to look like trees look, and is quite communicative if you can understand the different inflections in the way he says, ‘I am Groot.’”
Star-Lord (Chris Pratt): “Peter Quill left Earth in the mid ’80s, but when we meet back up with him he’s very much a citizen of the universe.”
Drax (Dave Bautista): ”[He] has one goal and one goal only, which is to kill Ronan because of a past tragedy.”
Gamora (Zoe Saldana): ”When we meet Gamora, she’s a bad guy working with Ronan and Nebula and Korath, and by extension for Thanos. Gamora doesn’t necessarily like doing that anymore, and tries to find a new path for herself. But she has a reputation as the deadliest woman in the galaxy that people aren’t greeting her with open arms.”
Feige adds that Ronan the Accuser, played by Lee Pace, is definitely the “main bad guy” of the movie with “Thanos lurking above it all.” There’s a lot more of Thanos in the movie than fans got in The Avengers, he said.
Interesting that Drax's nemesis is Ronan, and not Thanos...

-Rhodey as a character has been useless in the MCU so far -kid scenes could have been implemented easily -having the magic rings as a little introduction to the eventual magic that will be involved in future movies (Dr Strange) is not a bad move (i'd take all the magical powers in the universe over some fucking burning/glowing villains, wtf!?)..plus the fake Mandarin thing could still be present -Hulk could have easily been added in a few scenes to further explain where the fuck he was all this time
in details, yes there are some bad stuff potentially written there (it is merely just an idea after all) but i could see a way better version than what we ended up getting: wtf with that ending, seriously? Stark KNOWS there are extra-terrestrial beings in the universe but yet, he chooses to remove his very own power? what? plus, why not remove it before if the possibility was there :-/

The Mandarin is the wrong person to herald the introduction of magic; his rings are tech-based. Advanced alien technology that might as well be magic yes, but specifically technology.

He just chose to get rid of the shrapnel and arc reactor in his chest, he can still suit up as Iron Man anytime. He says he'll always be Iron Man! He just won't have a piece of metal in his heart and 42 AI-controlled suits, is all.

I never said I loved the whole thing, I just loved the idea of it. Rhodey really do anything important in IM3, so him being killed off or atleas do something would have been far better. the little kid banter could have easily happened after Tony got his ass whipped by The Mandarin like in the movie. I'd rather it be a mix up of the 2, as it does give leeway to Thanos and at the same time, keep Mandarin's origins as close as possible.

Killing off characters just because is just not a good idea! Hmm, well, if they killed Happy off I dunno if that would've mattered all that much. It'd follow pretty much the same beats as the actual movie.
Thanos is being set up by Guardians, and isn't really all that involved with straight-up magic. In any case, I think doing set-up for him in Iron Man 3 would've been a mistake regardless; he's not gonna show up and be a major character for quite a few years, and I think there's a danger in drawing out that threat.

Then have Rhodey actually do something important then. He doesn't need to die, but he does need to do far more than the crap he did in IM3.
And while Thanos won't be used for quiet some time, actually building him up some more really won't make it harder for people to swallow since they already KNOW of Thanos, showing him being behind some of these things or looking for something that can work until he finds the Infinity Gauntlet.

-keep kingsley -keep seth -keep the extremis -everything more or less the same until after the airplane scene -at that point introduce a Aim lab, have them work on dissecting one of those giant monsters from the avengers movie -its revealed that this is how they started messing with extremis, you have then linked stark ptsd thematically -add a personal bodyguard to seth, an asian man with long hair and shades. -instead of that dumb warmachine with president inside scene, have the president be setup to be killed in a less dumb manner -instead of the boat full of extremis guys, have stark be seized by seth and his crew, they have a small fight, and the house party thing ( without the armors melting like butter when stark was perfectly okay fighting hand to hand with those guys before) and it becomes obvious they are being overtaken. -Asian bodyguard walks up to seth and shoots him with something, then bails. -seth turns into something akin to the alien creatures, massively expanding mass and absorbing the other extremis soldiers. -the last scene of the movie would then be ironman facing this giant monster, reminiscing of his ptsd traumas and ACTIVELY surpassing the trauma, defeating the monster over the ocean. you can then have a final scene of him coming back and rescuing potts. - the movie woudl then close with the asian bodyguard, far away, putting back on his rings and entering a private jet , to be greeted by his own men that would call him mandarin.

That lab introduction should be moved back, the plane sequence is towards the very end of the movie.
And why would the Mandarin be a mere bodyguard?

Post by: Iced on August 31, 2013, 01:23:27 pm
it could have been moved to any point before, yeah, i was just saying i wouldnt remove any of the other scenes.
Mandarin wouldnt be an actual bodyguard, seth would think he was one( or at least letting the audience think he was) . He would just be controlling the operation from within. I like villains to be ethnically diverse and I think it was a shame to make the mandarin a white dude.
(http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111229200256/marveldatabase/images/4/45/Mandarin_%28Earth-616%29_from_Invincible_Iron_Man_Vol_1_511_cover.jpg) The mandarin also works best when he goes between extremes. Making him feel actually threatening overall would have increased the world building aspect.
Also, I would make seth into the monster not only to thematically close in on the ptsd but because fin fang foom tatoos on seth killian were distracting as shit, it felt like a dropped plot point ever since he spit fire.

That's it, let's all play NO, IRON MAN 3 SHOULD'VE GONE LIKE THIS
I think they should've just had a straight up Mandarin as the villain, no decoy, have Killian not be a very major character or appear at all (Maya Hansen could take over his scenes), get around the whole Yellow Peril business by making him a multi-ethnic guy who has adopted crazy Imperial Chinese trappings (and maybe even have Chinese doctor guy say disapprovingly how Mandy appropriated his culture), and have the movie play out pretty much the same. Maybe change the motivation of the Mandarin to be something like that one arc of the Mandarin with the Extremis virus, with him wanting to spread it around world, which would kill most everyone and stuff. Or not, I guess just power and money are fine enough. Have Rhodey fight in a suit during the final battle, more buddy cop fun times because you've got Shane Black, might as well get the most out of him. Tie up Tony's PTSD in his final battle, and if need be emphasize that Mandy's rings are Chitauri in origin to really tidy up that thread. Connect Mandy to the Ten Rings, bringing the trilogy around full circle as well, make everything conclusive.

Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck in the Battlestar Galactica reboot) is rumored to be playing Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel (http://comicsalliance.com/katee-sackhoff-captain-marvel-casting-rumor/), perhaps to headline a movie, because Marvel wants to do that (http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/179099-marvel-studios-wants-a-female-led-superhero-film), and they should!
I haven't seen anything with Sackhoff in it, but I've heard she's good; anyone see her in anything? Posted: September 07, 2013, 04:23:42 am oh and something about Ultron
Joss Whedon said:
As a character I love [Ultron] because he’s so pissed off [...] I knew right away what I wanted to do with him. He’s always trying to destroy the Avengers, goddamn it. He’s got a bee in his bonnet. He’s not a happy guy, which means he’s an interesting guy. He’s got pain. And the way that manifests is not going to be standard robot stuff. So we’ll take away some of those powers because, at some point, everybody becomes magic, and I already have someone who’s a witch.
Guess Scarlet Witch is gonna be the introduction to magic in the MCU.

Meh, it's just a couple of scenes they couldn't work out. I think it's like, linking events and information and action, to make sure the pace doesn't fall flat and it still makes sense when they try to connect two important scenes (they don't want to have Thor be doing something and then on the next scene show him some place else and we're wondering how he got there or who told him). I'm not too worried so far.

The version I read yesterday http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/09/18/joss-whedon-was-called-in-to-fix-some-scenes-in-thor-the-dark-world/ is what sounded to me more like it was a matter of the flow of events, the succession between the scenes. The AVClub article just talks about "problems" (BCool says that something wasn't working on paper, like they had something but it felt forced) so maybe it sounds more like there was something fundamentally wrong. And we'll all be playing "Spot the Whedon" like BCool says.

In fact, a pretty much all genre shows always seem to take a while to get really good.

Yeah, it worked in Firefly because Nathan Fillion, and Buffy was more of a teen saga. It's the combination of everything that surprises me, it feels new even if it's not.
It's definitely apparent that Gregg is the only main cast member who can easily and deftly dispense the Whedon-y dialogue (and the only one with a real good handle on his character save for Ming-Na) but he has an advantage in that he's been playing Coulsen for 5 years; I fully expect the rest of the cast to catch up soon, and be much more interesting than what they seem to be. I mean, who was expecting the stereotypical geek wallflower of Willow to go through her whole arc of becoming a super powerful witch, discovering her sexuality, and occasionally turning evil? Or Wesley evolving from a pratfalling buffoon only used for comic relief into a haunted, grim badass; a change so remarkably stark that it's amazing it was made to look and feel so completely natural and in-character?
So uh yeah getting back to what I was saying before I derailed myself in wankery, it'll probably take a while for everyone to get comfortable, but when they do, oh baby, I can't wait.

Agents of SHIELD was good this week, Ward and Skye seemed a bit better but FitzSimmons still seem pretty annoying and drag the show down a bit.

NCIS is good and always had good scores, and this mostly appeals to - comic book fans - Whedon fans which aren't the biggest demographic for a TV show, no matter how good it is. Who knows if even the "casuals" who discovered Marvel with the movies are aware that this show is a thing ? Hell, for anyone who isn't a comic book fan, this "investigation team-up" show has a pretty bad group dynamic, boring and way too cliché, and that kills any interest from newcomers pretty fast. I'd even go as far as saying, if it wasn't called SHIELD, even with the same dialogs and directing, you wouldn't even pay attention to it.

Gotta admit you nailed it with the "if it didn´t had Marvel in the title" no one or very few people would watch it, but I certainly feel this show is far more interesting than NCIS and it would be pretty sad to see this show go away due to rating stuff, gotta agree they choosed a pretty difficult hour to air the show. Is just my opinion thought, since I always found NCIS pretty uninteresting.

So far the episodes have been a bit boring for me, though I thought the same of Buffy and Angel when I 1st started watching them. So I hope it lasts long enough to get through the initial boring period.
I also hope they have some side adventures that take place during Thor Dark Ages since the show will be airing while the movie is in theaters.

I'd say they were, given that the premiere was the highest-rated drama debut in 4 years. It just seems that a great deal of them would rather watch The Voice and NCIS.
So far the episodes have been a bit boring for me, though I thought the same of Buffy and Angel when I 1st started watching them. So I hope it lasts long enough to get through the initial boring period.
It's something common not only to Whedon shows, but to network TV in general (cable is generally better at coming out very strong out of the gate but I don't really have any idea why). Sometimes it might take a season, or even 2 seasons (Star Trek TNG) for a show to get good, for the cast to gel, and so on.
Usually a big turning point are the episodes produced after the first few episodes have started airing, because the production can finally see the results. The writers can start playing towards the actors' strengths, and avoid exposing their weaknesses; the actors get better handles on their characters, finding new depths and rhythms, and so on.
I think the closest comparison to Agents would be Dollhouse, given that two of the show-runners were intimately involved with it, and it's the most recent Whedon show. And the reception Dollhouse got was extremely chilly, much more so than Agents is getting. There were so many Whedon diehards saying the show was terrible and awful and what have you. And then episode 6 happened: Patton Oswalt's character. "There are three flowers in a vase. The third flower is green." Holy shit, this show not only can be good, it can be great!
Also, FitzSimmons reminds me of Topher from Dollhouse, in that Topher was, for the first few episodes, absolutely despised and decried as a lame Xander clone who is also in charge of mind-rapist technology. But his character developed by leaps and bounds and the actor playing him got a great handle on the role and by the end he was one of the most beloved characters. So hopefully we'll see a similar path for those two, although personally I find them to be worse than Topher ever was, even at the beginning.

Congrats Coulson you just got yourself your first supervillain.
More incremental improvements, especially from Skye. FitzSimmons continue to be eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhh. They need to work on their dialogue!
Loved that truth serum reveal, as it nicely shelves concerns from the pilot of "Coulson left a truth-serum'd SHIELD agent in a room with someone who posts secrets for a living".
Also, had a thought. At the beginning of the episode, Skye is once again presented as being pretty useless at helping the regular SHIELD agents get anything done, reminding me of the last episode where she was pretty useless at the temple. Of course in this episode she goes undercover and all that, and in the last episode she comes up with the plan to get rid of the hijackers, but still, it makes me wonder if this is a long-term plot or something (like, Skye starts to feel her skills are useless most of the time, and wants to quit/learn more stuff/whatever, or something like that).

Geez, they're not even being subtle about Coulson being an LMD anymore. All that stuff about his muscle memory not working, and then how he's 'getting rusty.' They're either really bad at dropping hints, or they want people to think that they are so they can pull a reverse-twist by saying that he's not an LMD.

Life Model Decoy. My problem with this theory is, in this case there was no reason to bring this character, other than having the actor and the name. The LMD itself has no purpose. They even make a point to keep his presence secret.

It's something common not only to Whedon shows, but to network TV in general (cable is generally better at coming out very strong out of the gate but I don't really have any idea why). Sometimes it might take a season, or even 2 seasons (Star Trek TNG) for a show to get good, for the cast to gel, and so on.
I soo agree on that. Begginings on Whedon shows are always bit boring and all of them require little bit patience, which most viewers doesn't seem to have. maybe that's why they gets cancelled soon after it's started. Other thing is that people mostly start apperciate his shows when they already gone/ended which is sad really.
Buffy and Angel were both exceptions of that rule because they were already known characters when their shows started (Buffy from that horrible movie Whedon scripted back in 93 and Angtel from presence in Buffy Show). Buffy also had good chance because of herself as main character. Teen girl kicking ass of vamps ? That was new thing back then and she was very likeable due to Sarah Michelle Gellar cuteness and acting skills.
With SHIELD they had good idea of bringing someone known for main lead but Coulson as fine as he is, is not best choice. Too bad their didn't get Jackson for full role. That would help. They shoul get agent Hill for full role too... I for one was dissapointed with actors. Ward is wooden amateur and look like plastic doll who doesn't look like tough guy, at all, That geek guy is irittianting too. His female partner is cute and I love her british accent but that's it. Skye is getting better with each ep but looks too pretty for hacker girl living in the van. In fact they all look too perfect, and too pretty. always have perfect makeups and hair even during fight scenes and when they are on the field. It's looks too plastic, fake and unrealistic. The bright point of cast is Ming Na who issoo cool and steal every scene she appear in. Coulson is trying but he lackis chemistry with rest of the cast
The fact that show is presented in procedural/investigating format instead long continiuos plot doesn't help. I never understood the reason behind popularity of shows like NCIS, CSI etc, they all are incredible dull and boring especially when you compare them to cable shows like Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead etc.
They also did it wrong with target audience. I know it's national TV but they should target older audience. Current audience like cable adult shows, where there is no limtations and their popularity grows each year. When they see SHIELD no wonder some of them feels dissapointed. Whole show looks like its for teens and that's not interesing for mature fans. And there is the fact that shows is strongly connected to MCU. It's hard to imagine that someone in US don't know MCU but I bet there are some and they surely won't watch this show because of that connection.
I will countinue watching it but I don't have high hopes. I'm pretty sure show would got better at season 2-3 but I have doubts if it's even gonna get to that point.

Rating are in for episode 3, the drop-off has slowed greatly, and it actually came in #1 for the 8PM timeslot. (http://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwtv/article/ABCs-Marvels-Agents-of-SHIELD-Holds-Strong-in-Week-3-20131009) If it can keep these numbers up it should have a strong future.
Buffy and Angel were both exceptions of that rule because they were already known characters when their shows started (Buffy from that horrible movie Whedon scripted back in 93 and Angtel from presence in Buffy Show). Buffy also had good chance because of herself as main character. Teen girl kicking ass of vamps ? That was new thing back then and she was very likeable due to Sarah Michelle Gellar cuteness and acting skills.
TV Buffy was an pretty different character than the movie version, even in the pilot, though. Besides the fact that the movie is not in continuity with the TV show, it has a very different tone and most people who watched or are watching the show never even saw the movie.
Angel is similar to Coulsen in that he's an established character that took a while to reconfigure into a lead. And even though Cordelia (and later Wesley) were also in Buffy, he never had that many scenes with them so the writers basically had to start fresh with their interpersonal characterizations. But they got a handle on it eventually, just like they will with Agents.
They also did it wrong with target audience. I know it's national TV but they should target older audience. Current audience like cable adult shows, where there is no limtations and their popularity grows each year. When they see SHIELD no wonder some of them feels dissapointed. Whole show looks like its for teens and that's not interesing for mature fans.
That makes no sense; the Avengers wasn't targeted at just an older audience, it was targeted to everyone. They can have stuff for everyone. Expecting a prestige cable drama type deal for this property is incredibly unrealistic, especially coming from Whedon. He has his own way of doing things, and not every show needs to be a gritty show about a white middle-aged antihero to be good.

I have heard people speculating that Marvel could do their own versions of X-Men/Spider-Man/whatever, but only on TV. However I doubt they'd do that because of brand confusion and because they'd be restricted to TV only.
And yes I know Quicksilver is in both Days of Future Past and Avengers 2 but the general audience doesn't know who the fuck Quicksilver is, and since it looks like he's looking to be nothing more than a cameo on DoFP, who cares

Centipede is back. They use this Scorcher guy cause his system to tolerate the combustion of the Extremis serum so they use him to generate a stable serum to use on more test subjects. The scientist got burn to the ground. They uncover Skye but give her a second chance but of course under viligance of that fascinating piece of bracelet. Really touching ending for Skye too, felt sorry for the character.
Pretty cool not by the Scorcher but by how this guy would be useful for The Centipede cause. I liked it. Not as much as the previous one but still very good
Really loving this show. Great stuff :yes: Skye in underwear, easily the best part of the episode :yeses:

Hrm, that episode was a bit of a let down after last week's, hopefully things will swing upwards again. I mean it wasn't bad or anything, just not shows no improvement from the first few episodes, and this series really needs to improve to become anything more than merely competent. And I was hoping they'd avoid doing a "Rising Tide is pro-secrecy but totally misguided and actually somewhat bad, SHIELD is great even though it wiretaps and abducts people" kinda thing, but this episode was literally that. Hopefully this is the last of the Rising Tide plot line, then, because that's starting to get into weird, pro-totalitarianism places. :-\
also that scene with the Doctor getting burned to death was pretty horrifying, for an 8PM show. Surprised they got away showing that. ALSO also, those fireproof suits: those are totally AIM, right? RIGHT?!?!?!?!

But I'll just say Renner so he can have the distinction of being on two Whedon shows: (http://www3.images.coolspotters.com/photos/1032247/jeremy-renner-and-angel-gallery.png) because he was in Angel as Angel's former vampire serial killer protege!!!

*Opens the link *Looks at the picture "Should "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." be leaning so heavily on Brett Dalton and Chloe Bennet?" Assuming those are the people in the picture, the tough guy and the rebel girl... The show is leaning on them ? They're the same nobodies as the others. (yeah, reading on, it's right, but it doesn't feel that way when you watch it, which happens to be the point the article is making lol) By the way, small nitpick, the previous episode and this article both try to say Coulson was stabbed through the heart ? He was still alive a few minutes later talking to Fury. Agreed on what they're doing with Coulson and what they're trying to do with the other two. Disagreeing on the scope of the series as opposed to the movies and their urgency, I feel SHIELD is exactly supposed to be about the "everyday threat" by minor superpowered people and artifacts that don't draw the attention of the big superheroes, it's just about how SHIELD handles those. They are where the Avengers aren't, so of course there won't be any world-destroying supermenace. And that's also why it's good to see Fury just here to complain about repair bills.

The guys experimenting with Extremis in that previous episode were definitely AIM, they just didn't say it but they're easily recognized. This episode seems like they wanted to give their badge of merit to the kids and finally give us interesting characters (also with all three imitations of agent Ward or Wurd or whatever his name is). Hope it sticks.

supposedly they only manage to start naming names after the seventh episode ( the first seven were done without an approval for fullseason so they couldnt use chars that could be used later )

Disney's Marvel and Netflix Join Forces to Develop Historic Four Series Epic plus a Mini-Series Event Based on Renowned Marvel Characters Landmark Deal Brings Marvel’s Flawed Heroes of Hell’s Kitchen, led by "Daredevil," to the World’s Leading Internet TV Network in 2015
Burbank, Calif. - Nov 7, 2013—The Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS) and Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) today announced an unprecedented deal for Marvel TV to bring multiple original series of live-action adventures of four of Marvel's most popular characters exclusively to the world's leading Internet TV Network beginning in 2015. This pioneering agreement calls for Marvel to develop four serialized programs leading to a mini-series programming event.
Led by a series focused on "Daredevil," followed by "Jessica Jones," "Iron Fist" and "Luke Cage," the epic will unfold over multiple years of original programming, taking Netflix members deep into the gritty world of heroes and villains of Hell's Kitchen, New York. Netflix has committed to a minimum of four, thirteen episodes series and a culminating Marvel's "The Defenders" mini-series event that reimagines a dream team of self-sacrificing, heroic characters.
Produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Television Studios, this groundbreaking deal is Marvel’s most ambitious foray yet into live-action TV storytelling.

I'd love to see a Daredevil series. As much as I loved Michael Clarke Duncan it would be interesting to see Kingpin played by a big white guy this time. Also, they can utilize the Stick character into his origin which they neglected to do in the film. (Although he did appear in Elektra...but..yeah.)
As long as we get to see Owl, Echo, Typhoid Mary, Bullseye (with a mask?), and The Hand we should be good!

Meh. Still not seeing it; I don't think he'd be great in the role. Well, maybe if they were doing super campy 70s-esque Cage, I guess.

So Coulson's got a habit of saying "it's a magical place" whenever someone talks about Tahiti and he actually can't control it. Things are moving on a couple of fronts, we'll see if it reaches a cruise speed. I was looking something up and it seems an episode in the near future will be tied to the Thor 2 movie, with the team on clean-up duty ? I'm not really planning on seeing it so soon... But it's probably not needed to watch it I guess.

OK now for the real meat: what does the Tesseract and the Aether correspond to, Infinity Gem-wise? I mean, Aether is red and fires lasers and stuff and seems pretty much like Power, but the name Aether implies Space, maybe? Or even Reality? I dunno!

Everybody that supports the show seems to have this BUT ITS GETTING SOMEWHERE reasoning, but honestly unless they introduce an actual supervillain and/or hero from the comics in the next episode coming up which is the last episode of the year btw, I just don't know.
Even those who bring up the point that the show is about SHIELD itself. Well, the show fails in that aspect too. So far it just seems to be about a fairly small and mostly inexperienced team which barely makes up SHIELD at all. The Helicarrier hasn't been in a single episode and Nick Fury only made a cameo.

I haven't watched the last two episodes. I just can't bring myself to. It's just so not good and it's depressing me. I was so hyped for this, a goddamn Marvel Cinematic Universe show by fucking Joss Whedon. Or even a goddamn Marvel show by people intimately involved with Whedon shows who were the showrunners of Dollhouse and god everyone is so boring and nothing is interesting and I hate FitzSimmons so much and why is everything so fucking bland and why does it not feel at all like it takes place in a universe with superheroes in it.

Post by: DKDC on November 30, 2013, 11:41:04 am
It didn't know what it was going to do with itself for the first half of the season, and that included the Hood name, but halfway through it started pulling itself together and it's been going slowly up since then. Every now and then it's still dragging a bit of the angst style it started with, but on average, it's above the usual. That being said, the Hood name isn't illogical, he never introduced himself, no one would call him the arrow, it was a guy in a hood, so it made sense. Season 2 started by saying he should change his name while looking at an arrowhead, but he still hasn't been given any name (but I don't think they're calling him the Hood anymore, they just don't call him).

Arrow is pretty good in second season but currently Person of Interest beats it in every way. I just can't believe what Johnathan Nolan did it with it and it's not even cable show. Sometimes I even wonder if its not better than 24 and everbody that 24 was best action show EVER....

Jmorphan I told you few episodes ago it was very average show close to bad and you defended it woth bright optymism.
Because that was a very logical way of looking at things; every Whedon show (except Firefly) before this one had rough patches before pulling itself together, so there was every reason to think the same was gonna happen with Agents (and who knows, maybe it still will happen)
I was gonna give it till episode 6 to impress me, and it didn't. By episode six, Dollhouse had done Man On The Street, Buffy had its premiere, Angel was well it hadn't had any standouts but it had very concrete promise and by episode 9 it had Hero. Agents of SHIELD had the eye episode and the pilot and not much else. And even then the pilot had several issues.
But what really did it was seeing the AV Club give the last two episodes D+'s. It just sapped any and all motivation to watch them. If the show had been better than I wouldn't have stopped just because of the grades, but it's just so uuuuughhhh. Maybe if the a new episode does very well I'll start up again, but I dunno.

All of the characters are really flat and dull and I don't care about any of them or what they're doing. And despite the whole connection to the movie universe and all of the teasing about bigger things they still haven't really provided any reason to believe that any of it is actually going to go anywhere.

Last ep with "nightwing" was really lame. the thing that had me lost my faith in the show was scene with Fitz & Simmons at the end of episode 6 (when Simmons was in danger) when Simmons kissed Fitz in the CHEEK when she thanked him. In the cheek ? Really ? Similar thing happen in last episode with wooden Ward & May.

There was like almost 0 indication of them having sex. We know it happened but I hated the way how it was presented. There was no erotic scenes at all
I know it's disney and it's supposed to target younger audience but come on... This show is so bad because they can't decide thier target. They should aim for adult audience but since it's ABC I should've know better. Still dissapointment kills me.... I just feel cheated because if I would want some teeny show I would watch Hannah Montana or some cartoons.
I haven't seen it but I'm glad they have Amy Acker on it cause she's the best.
You bet. She is the best in every scene but what is really amazing, other actors are at the same level. This show is like MUST WATCH for everyone. It's sets bar so high that I'm sometimes can't describe level of awesomesss. I admit it's start as average but it's get better with each episode & each season. Last 3 episodes fucked me up so hard that it took a while to pick up pieces of my jaw from the floor.
Every procedural show like CSI, NCIS and other boring shit should take example from it because this is how it should be done.

I can NCIS taking some stuff from 24 after reading some reviews of certain episodes (cause I´m curious) but not CSI. NCIS and 24 seems to have some similarities. Humanity is complicated, someone would say "this is how it´s done, yes" others will say "no its not, bullshit". It´s complicated.

Aiming it at adults wouldn't make it any better or complex. Justice League Unlimited is a children's cartoon and yet it's infinitely more complex than Agents. And infinitely better.

Post by: MDI on December 02, 2013, 02:11:13 am
I know we're kinda straying off topic here, but since you mention the DCAU, it did remind me of how Green Arrow was on the show. I very much enjoyed the moments that he basically stated that he fought for the little guy and wasn't some cosmic jumping superhero, and that he was genuinely afraid of the Justice League and the power they possess. I think that would be interesting if the CW's Arrow would be part of the Man of Steel continuity and played a similar role. But alas it probably won't happen.
But as for Shield, I just get this whole saturday morning cartoon feel from it. Instead of being this agency trying to keep super powered beings in check with a lot of build up and ties to the films, they're basically just high tech paranormal investigators with new cases every week. Its as if they're a modern re imagining of an old cartoon.

Sony has revealed its big plans to expand the Spider-Man franchise into a larger movie universe, officially announcing spinoff movies for Venom and The Sinister Six.
Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Jeff Pinkner, Ed Solomon, and Drew Goddard will collaborate on overseeing the “developing story over several films” says Sony, saying they “have formed a franchise brain trust to expand the universe for the brand and to develop a continuous tone and thread throughout the films,” in conjunction with producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach and director Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man 2).
Kurtzman & Orci & Solomon will write Venom, with Kurtzman directing, while Goddard will write and possibly direct Sinister Six.
No Muties Allowed is and was the subtitle to the general Marvel thread. This is the Marvel Cinematic Universe thread, covering only Marvel's official movies (and not Sony's Spider-Man flicks, or Fox's X-Men franchise). The general entertainment news thread is where the latter go.

Apparently people reporting that he'd been cast as Pym were being a bit premature; while he has indeed been cast as the lead, it is unclear as to who the lead is. This movie has been in development for a while (Wright had been attached all the while), and an early version featured Scott Lang, the second Ant-Man, as the lead role (with Hank Pym being an old man, who was Ant-Man in the 60s, and there might've been some flashbacks to that era that were mentioned in the development but I don't remember). So he might be Pym, or Lang; either way he'll be great because he's a good actor and is funny and Edgar Wright is such a fantastic director and I'm really glad Marvel is taking risks like putting people like James Gunn and Edgar Wright in charge of these huge multimillion dollar movies.

An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits–Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand - with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.

It would depend entirely of the color. Right now we have the Teserract (that looks like the mind gem) and the Ether (supposedly the power gem). I too, believe that would be part of the plot in this movie

They didn't reveal anything. Yes they showed his brain being rewritten or whatever but they didn't explain shit about his revival. Oh and seeing that stupid Mike guy come back was pretty disappointing. Unless they randomly decide to turn him into Deathlock I'd say they should have kept him dead.
Also, this is pure speculation but it is fun to think about. I've seen people online say that The Leader/Samuel Sterns is probably the Clairvoyant. As you may remember he was last seen in The Incredible Hulk.

I don't see a reason for Trevor being destroyed/killed, especially if he's Ben Kingsley. Either he's the false persona or he's going to decide to play his role for real, but that would be lame for a character like the Mandarin (not to mention he needs to actually get his magic).

I don't know what's with all the negativity over the casting. Michael Douglas is a fantastic actor and the whole "old Pym, young Lang" thing has been rumored as long as the movie itself has. The dynamic here will be something that's never really been done before, outside comics, and I think it'll be great.
Plus, Michael Douglas makes a ton of sense as Pym, remember when he admitted a few years ago that he got throat cancer from HPV, which he caught because he is really into cunnilingus? Well...
Spoiler: NSFW(click to see content)
(http://i.imgur.com/uObFqwS.jpg) this actually happened
someone wrote this, an editor approved it, a letterer carefully placed the text over the artwork, and it was all published, somehow
So yeah, perfect casting!!! Rumors of an Agent Carter show are starting to heat up, and just today Howard Stark's actor mentioned it is "possibly going to happen" (http://spinoff.comicbookresources.com/2014/01/13/dominic-cooper-wants-in-on-agent-carter/), and he wants in.
Let's just hope it airs on somewhere besides ABC, and isn't a piece of shit.
The colors of the gems aren't consistent in color-power on the comics or games or movies. Stop trying to guess, and just enjoy the movie when you watch it.
Well Kevin Feige specifically said that the Tesseract is the Space Stone/Gem and he confirmed the Aether to be another but he didn't specify which type. He also said a third gem is gonna be featured in the Guardians movie.
I don't see a reason for Trevor being destroyed/killed, especially if he's Ben Kingsley. Either he's the false persona or he's going to decide to play his role for real, but that would be lame for a character like the Mandarin (not to mention he needs to actually get his magic).
I really think that the most likely thing is Trevor being knocked off by the 10 Rings, with no hint towards a "real" Mandarin. It's very unlikely RDJr. is gonna do anymore Iron Man films. But even if they were to do War Machine movies or something, and wanted Trevor to become the villain as the real Mandarin, they'd have to reintroduce Trevor, establish he has become the Mandarin for real, reestablish the 10 Rings... it's just too much exposition, too much very important stuff to be relegated to a bonus feature, I think. The only other thing I can see happening is them teasing a "true" Mandarin, and Trevor still ends up dead. Or maybe ends up as a toady, I dunno.
But I think it would be best if they stood by the whole decoy Mandarin thing, and didn't try to bring in a "real" version. It was really bold and daring of them to build up the Mandarin and then shatter all expectations by revealing him to be a fake, a convenient evil foreigner who hates us for our freedom, used to justify expanded military spending. It's easily the most trenchant and biting satire of the Iron Man movies, and I think it would really undercut it all to introduce a real, bona-fide Mandarin into the mix.
But I mean, I still kinda want to see a guy with 10 magic rings who can break steel with his fists because he's that good at martial arts! :S

In my opinion, from everything I've seen of this show I think a good episode can be defined as an episode that hints at future episodes having something worth while. So its more like, "Oh hey we might see an actual villain soon!"

If not for the origin of Blizzard and a hint of Skye being some sort of future superhero it wasn't anything special. Some people also seem to be expressing joy at them mentioning Bucky Barnes, AIM, and Hydra. I think people getting all excited over that type of thing is the equivalent of people cheering at a wrestler whenever he mentions their hometown. They can mention the entire Marvel Universe. Doesn't mean they're showing up on the show.

Well, the whole "Magneto's children" concept came about around a decade after they were created (and in fact retconned an earlier retcon that they were the children of two Golden Age heroes); it's steadily grown more and more important to their characters but I don't think it's absolutely integral to them. The more important aspect, especially in a "first time they join the Avengers" scenario is that they started as villains. Who they were hanging out with at first isn't that important, I think.

Agent Coulson says: If you don't like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., then you're a loser. (http://comicsalliance.com/clark-gregg-losers-agents-of-shield-steranko/)
Quote
The actor, whose role as Agent Coulston in various films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has led to him starring in Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD series on ABC, is aware that many critics and fans are frustrated with the show so far, with some stating that they have all but given up on it, while others are forced to watch it for our amusement. Well, if you’re one of the people who has quit on SHIELD., Gregg has a message for you. Speaking with The Salt Lake Tribune on the set of the show, Gregg had the following to say about fans, or Marvel “geeks,” who have given up on the show due to the lack of appearances by more characters from the Marvel Universe: “Those aren’t geeks. Those are losers.”
Given the fact that “geeks” like that are a huge part of why this show even exists, that position does seem ridiculous.
There seems to be a false narrative — one that I honestly find hilarious — that people who dislike the show are only mad because there aren’t more super powered characters, when in reality people are mad because they feel the show is bad and it doesn’t have more super powered characters. If you’re going to make a bad show, at least make a bad show with lots of characters who can fly and break things with their minds.
That is a surprisingly dickish stance to take on the issue.

If Marvel somehow gets back the rights for film X-Men, I do hope that they keep Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Sir Patrick as Professor Xavier and Ian McKellen as Magneto. They were overall pretty good in their roles. Hugh Jackman also happens to look very, very yummy. >.>
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Avengers sequel due in 2015
Post by: DKDC on February 05, 2014, 11:46:55 pm
McKellen has his cunning evil plus class act alright, but in the Fox movies he's never pulled enough tyrannical ham that is closer both to the character and to the Marvel movieverse movies. Not enough action, no large and strong movements, it's just not what a Magneto would be in the Marvel movieverse. It works in the Fox movies that are closer to a real world version of the characters, but by comparison to the Marvel movies that don't hold back on the comics feel, Fox!Magneto is just a Bond villain that doesn't do much by himself other than being evil. And cunning. He's just not angry enough. I don't recall much of it but I think Doom was better in that genre in the first FFour movie.

If the rights do go back, which is a big IF, it probably wouldn't be for another decade or so. I'm sure the next iteration of X-Men movies would definitely be recasted and rebooted. Until then we get to look forward to Fox's ghetto universe with the X-Men and Fantastic Four. Nothing short of an Onslaught/Franklin Richards related film could make it interesting.

not with the calling people geeks, but with the fact that (some) have 'all but given up on the show' because of the lack of big name cameos and whatnot its been said, so there's proof (also, the lack of a proper arc, but thats another story for another post)
which happens to be why arrow is thriving so well, the cameo thing is working out for them, (plot and writing notwithstanding) and with the advent of the suicide squad appearance, "geeks" will fucking cream themselves, so yea
almost poetic really; dc cant make a decent movie and are trying too hard too fast to slap together a universe with no real ties and shitty backstory, but can do it awesomely in a tv series an hour a week
avengers did a fucking dope job over the span of quite a few movies (and stingers) putting together a universe properly and are getting chided because their show doesn't have 'enough' cameos (read: fanservice)

Post by: MDI on February 06, 2014, 12:44:11 am
I think what is unfair is people that want authentic Marvel characters on the show is apparently asking too much. People make the comparison to Arrow because they have characters from the comics, and make sure to have them recognizable as well as play a large role in the story, so that it isn't just some dumb cameo.
On AoS we can have a dozen villains and not one of them is someone we know or care about from the comics. On Arrow we have Brother Blood as the main villain, and Deathstroke pulling the strings. And you know what, it works!
I think that if the Clairvoyant is revealed to be say The Leader, or some other well-known villain, then the people complaining will sigh a breath of relief, sit back, and start to enjoy the show.
Essentially, these "cameos" or should I say use of characters that fans actually want to see help give a motivation for watching the show. A reason why we should care about the other 90% of the cast that is just some random interns that if not for the Marvel label we wouldn't give two shits about.

What they did to Coulson... damn, that´s pretty fucked up. Quite shocking. Gotta love Skye doing all that stuff. Oh well, it seems Mike Peterson is condemned too.

I saw 13 episode already and I can tell show finally starting to improve. For the first time I REALLY had alot fun while watching it and for the first time I can't wait for next one.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Loved mixed narration from the train. May was awesome as always (I can't believe that Ming-Na Wen is 50 years old LOL, she looks like 35-40), Skye got shot twice in her stomach, Mike really changed from the blast, I even liked Ward which was weakest of the team for me so far.
This is how show should looked from the start but I guess they needed to find their own pace and I think they finally did it. I mean first 12-13 episodes of Arrow were weak-average at best and it got awesome near season 1 finale and I think it will be the same with AoS. With Whedon shows it's almost always like that.

I wouldn't say that the show is "there" just yet, but its on the right path. If Dethlok gets a metallic face piece, something interesting is revealed about Skye's origin and/or we finally find out how Coulson was revived, and we get one solid villain, then it'll be there.

Post by: DKDC on February 06, 2014, 11:43:33 pm
That's the only thing I disagree with. In line with the "not all heroes are super" punchline, SHIELD operations are supposed to be more about some company like Cyberwhatever (that time delay grenade thing was wicked cool) and a cell of AIM and so on, certainly not a single big bad, that's for the big superheroes. Centipede is fine in that position, the only problem is we still see nothing moving. In fact, I still have doubt that Deathlok will play any more major role, he's just here to show us that Centipede is a serious threat that keeps pumping out those evil systems. IMO, SHIELD's enemy is Centipede, not Deathlok, Deathlok is just one of their weapon. At most I only expect him to show up here and there for specific events, but not as the real thing they go after, not the villain of the season final. Everyday hero, everyday villain.
What the series need is a better pacing and making us actually care for the various story arcs, not a single big bad. For example, instead of dumping the "Tahiti" and "Skye's parents" thing in our lap once in a while, telling us "care about this for this episode", then forgetting about it before and after, they should have both be a recurrent subject of worry, actually advancing forward each time. Like, the way Coulson realized, at the same time as us, that his "it's a magical place" response was involuntary and automatic, that was good, that was a red thread. But May repeatedly telling Coulson "Skye can never know !" is bad, because it's trying to tell us what to care about, without successfully making us care about it, just stalling.

JARVIS is Vision, huh? Interesting.
And more casting news: Evangeline Lilly is rumored to be playing Hank Pym's daughter. (http://www.avclub.com/article/evangeline-lilly-up-for-role-in-antman-that-isnt-a-107559) Maybe she'll eventually become the Wasp, but it'd be pretty weird if she was named Janet, but even if she was, I don't particularly care she's being shifted over to being Lang's love interest. Because dammit, Edgar fucking Wright is making the movie!
Usually there was at least one episode in the first 6 episodes that proved that the show was worth sticking with (Welcome To The Hellmouth, City Of, every Firefly episode, Man On The Street). I mean, I really want AoS to be good, and hopefully episode 13 will be their Man On The Street. But I'm still gonna wait a bit and see how the next few episodes do before jumping back in.

Tiny bit of info that sounds interesting. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/02/05/disney/ We know from Thor 2 that Agents of SHIELD doesn't mind following through the movies, but we get a confirmation that Winter Soldier will have more impact on the series (which wasn't hard to guess considering Cap is joining SHIELD in it). I don't agree much with the article (which essentially says the ties are superficial and unnecessary), as it should give the superhero background that some people want (just the background is enough), while providing a more concrete, less evasive storyline, something more familiar, and a more thought-out continuity. As long as it helps solidifying the show's own storylines and plays into it, and isn't just eye-candy filler, of course. Apparently they already mentioned the possibility in November, but I dunno, this sounds more positive and in line with what the series needs.

IIRC Whedon said Avengers wouldn't be a trilogy, it would end with AoU. If that's true, it doesn't make much sense to me, I think the series should end with Thanos. But if GotG don't fight him. And it should be a trilogy, for Avengers, two movies comes up short. Or maybe that's just me What do you guys think?

There's no rule that says big movies like those should be a trilogy. It should be a trilogy only if the guys writing it have enough good plots and ideas to fill 3 movies. Hell, it could even be 6 or 12 movies as long as that still applies (except of course it's hard to keep up that long in a single series). There's no justification for making a trilogy just for the sake of making a trilogy.

If Avengers 3 isn't happening then I assume they'll handle Thanos in some big-crossover of Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy movie, as it seems like they've set him up as the ultimate antagonist in this whole series.

I'm a little conflicted at how they're opposing the initial premise of knowing and trusting they were working for the good guys, and the fact that there's a "traitor" (not necessarily an enemy, but at least someone who was hiding something big). But at least they're just as conflicted about it as I am, so that's nice.

Even if it was better, it felt very weird to me because it was just a complete departure from the ongoing storyline. I would have seen an episode like that around one third into the series, especially considering it's right up SHIELD's alley, but at this point it feels like it's cutting in the middle just when things start moving.

I'm still too scared to start on Agents of SHIELD again. Kevin Feige explains how magic is gonna work in Doctor Strange (http://badassdigest.com/2014/03/13/kevin-feige-explains-how-magic-will-work-in-doctor-strange/). Key quote "Doctor Strange needs to be a Ditko/Kubrick/Miyazaki/The Matrix mind-trip," which sounds amazing!
He also talked about Marvel's responsibility to be diverse, and thoughts on a possible Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) movie (http://badassdigest.com/2014/03/14/kevin-feige-on-marvels-responsibility-to-be-diverse-and-a-possible-captain/). It sounds like if they are planning one, it won't be until after 2016, which is too bad.
MORE: Agent Carter TV show is definitely sounding like it's going to be a thing, but probably won't be debuting until after this fall. (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/03/13/the-agent-carter-tv-show-will-have-a-very-particular-format-if-the-screenwriters-get-their-way/) The shortened season length and the promise of each season being one year, one story, will hopefully help it avoid some of Agents of SHIELD's problems.
And finally, Sebastian Stan has a 9 picture deal with Marvel. (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/03/14/sebastian-stan-has-a-nine-picture-deal-with-marvel/) I think that was the number Samuel L. Jackson signed on for, so expect him to pop up a bunch.

There's already a third Cap movie planned ? What storyline is it going to have ? Bucky as Cap ? A quick look at a random point in the video, I'm starting to be pretty damn irritated by those actors who say "I don't know anything about the character or even the franchise, I prefer to come in with a clean slate and do my own thing". Fuck off then, dude, don't just apply for the fame of the name.

Well, sounds like that was how he came in, and has since been educated in the backstory and stuff.
He's a really great actor, I'm sure he'll be great.

Post by: DKDC on March 15, 2014, 05:04:30 pm
Yeah, I just meant that for the first time, when he applied for Cap. At least he learned about his character before they moved into Winter Soldier. (and Bucky didn't do much in the first movie except get flung off a train on a mountain anyway :P)

rumors have been floating around about Cap dying in Avengers 3 (since Chris Evans contract has 2 more movies, Cap America 3 & Avengers 3), with the news of Winter Soldier's actor having a 9 pictures deal set up..which would imply the Cap dying storyline, implying him taking over the Cap duty. would be a killer angle, as until now, no heroes have been in real danger. then again, same goes to Robert Downey jr character: no more movie contract after Avengers 2 so he could be the one dying too.

I can definitely see them doing a Bucky Cap movie. I think Evans wanted to take a break from acting but didn't rule out returning, or so the rumor goes.
(and Bucky didn't do much in the first movie except get flung off a train on a mountain anyway :P)
They just needed to include material the actor is already good at playing, perhaps Bucky can be made into a self-hating, closeted prince?

Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch set photos: (http://i.imgur.com/Xo9mKpK.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/bIp9zIE.jpg) They look great. Also, Patton Oswalt will guest star on Agents of SHIELD. (http://www.avclub.com/article/patton-oswalt-guest-agents-shield-202500)
The last time Patton Oswalt guested on a creatively struggling Joss Whedon show, it signaled a sudden boost in quality and creativity... but then again, that was only the sixth episode of that show, and the series hadn't set in firmly about what it was going to do, and it already had a dynamic and interesting cast.

IDK, but I'd like a little more resemblance to his comic look, but it looks good nevertheless
Ambiguous quote so I'm not sure if you mean Ultron or Quicksilver, but Ultron's comic-perfect helmet was seen in that Comicon teaser last year, the one where Iron Man's helmet is hammered into Ultron's. Quicksilver looks fine to me for a second rate character.

Post by: Jmorphman on March 25, 2014, 01:02:37 am
Yeah I meant Ultron, but the head seen there isn't the same as the teaser's
The chest armor doesn't look right but it's pretty easy to guess why - either it's an early version of the prop, or it's just because Ultron is in the middle of evolving, or they're gonna CG the shit out of this. We know at least the face is different, so those are the only three logical options.
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Avengers sequel due in 2015
Post by: Iced on March 25, 2014, 10:19:26 am
ultron teaser head ( and comic design ) has a huge gaping maw. I dont think its realistically possible to convey it on a wearable faceprop with the depth of that hole.
Usually with those things the stand in for cg works so that they have the basic parameters of width and shoulders and etc so they can size the characters later on.
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Avengers sequel due in 2015
Post by: Bastard Thedge on March 25, 2014, 03:03:26 pm
They put that kind of prop, Ultron I mean, for references when the cgi is implemented, the same way they put balls or heads to get shadow references they put that armor/stuff there to see how things reflect in that place.

Attracted by the ice cream bowl Edgar Wright didn’t rinse before carelessly leaving out overnight, Corey Stoll has joined the long line of Ant-Men marching toward the Marvel project, combining their super-strength in a way that can vanquish even the most formidable of crumbs. Stoll—best known for his role on House Of Cards, where he played Kevin Spacey’s doomed, manipulated Plant-Man—joins an ensemble that already includes Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas as Ant-Man, Patrick Wilson as Ant-Man, Michael Pena as Ant-Man, and Evangeline Lilly as Aunt Man, with Stoll taking on what we—as always—can only presume is the role of Ant-Man. That is, until Wright finally reveals more details about the film, which remain scant, man.

Already mentioned in the past but its also funny how the actor who played his buddy in the first Kick-Ass is playing Quicksilver in X-Men. Although different actor in Kick-Ass 2, its funny how his friend ends up trying to be a superhero too only to end up being a shitty lame ripoff of Kick-Ass (Ass Kicker).

Beside everything that's been said about Cap 2, I would like to add two things : - 3D is completely useless - this movie is a better Agents of SHIELD series than Agents of SHIELD. I mean, obviously they couldn't have done that in the series, the HYDRA infiltration and all, had to keep the plot for this movie, but come on, they could at least have used the series to bring HYDRA to the front, have some tiny hints of some random agents involved in something vaguely like that, a mere mention of the name, especially if they were going to do something so massive between SHIELD and HYDRA here. But for the series, it's just like there's absolutely nothing. Asgardian goddess visiting is the best they can do, everything else is perfectly normal. (man, Coulson is not gonna get an answer from Fury anytime soon) Other than that, yeah, cool and pretty good playing with today's politics adding some HYDRA in it.
Oh, and I would *not* like to be a civilian driving a car and get caught in the middle of this. That civilian body count, man (of course without a drop of blood), and Hill going all "there will be countless innocent victims" or something like that, girl there already IS countless innocent victims.

I went with a couple of friends who don't know that much about the comics or even the movies, they were clueless about who Bucky was, I actually blame that to the first Cap movie since it could have worked a bit more on the Cap-Bucky friendship.

Captain America 3 Plot Might Borrow from “1950s Psychotic Cap” Storyline (http://collider.com/captain-america-3-plot-william-burnside/)
Quote
Marvel’s much-anticipated Captain America: The Winter Soldier opens in just about two weeks, but there has already been some news about that film’s eventual follow-up. Recently, it was revealed that Captain America 3 would be opening on May 6, 2016 (the same day as WB’s Man of Steel sequel). We know that Joe and Anthony Russo will return for the third film, and that they’re currently breaking the story with returning screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. While promoting the upcoming film, the screenwriters may have let slip the comics source for the framework of the plot of the next installment. Hit the jump to get a little crazy.
In an interview with Den of Geek (via BC), Markus and McFeely grudgingly shared this little plot nugget for Captain America 3:
Are you going back to the comics for the next one and plan to adapt another story, while incorporating the many threads left open at the end of this one?
McFeely: Oh yeah, you can probably predict some of the threads we would like to pick up again that we’ve laid out there. And we always go back to the comics and dive back in and look at anything we’ve missed in the last few years that might be relevant.
Markus: We’ve definitely set out on a more realistic road in the Cap movies, you know. Even more grounded than in the other MCU movies. And so it kind of rules out Cap fighting the Dinosaur Man or something like that. There are some that aren’t gonna start and other ones that — I mean there’s a couple we’re playing with right now that we really want to take elements from. Which we’ll not reveal.
Oh, come on.
Markus: All I’m saying is psychotic 1950s Cap.

Haha you are so late Jmorphman, this news been around for like 3 days now. I'm excited too. You should pick up show again because it's much better than it was before, trust me on that. You remember my earlier posts about how much this show suck ? You can forget all of that cuz I see improvement. I'm only worried her casting can mean that she will be dropped out/reduced from Person of Interest. I will be crying from rage if that happens. :-\
And seriously pick up Person of Interest already! You keep saying how awesome Amy Acker is and you are missing her best role. I mean I love her character there way more than I loved Illirya and that's saying alot. This show is seriously reinventing procedurals and it way better than anything you can see on regular channels like ABC, CBS, FOX, or NBC. Just check the rates of the show man..... It's so good I can;t even express. Nolan brand should convince you before so what are you waiting for ?

Gunn freezes a frame of an imposing-looking villain any serious comic book fan would recognize instantly. He sits on a rocket-powered throne. Feige sees something on the screen that he doesn't like. The evildoer needs to be farther away in the frame so he looks more imperious, he says.
"I don't know," says Gunn. "I think it's going to look cool, man."
"You just don't want him to feel petty in that way," Feige says. "I think it's a fine line."
"How do you think it comes off as petty here?" Gunn says.
"He's so damn close," Feige says.
"Yeah," concedes Gunn. "I think I'm going to have him floating in space."
Feige is concerned about the throne, too. He points at the base. "Those don't need to be rockets," he says. "Maybe gravity disks?" Feige says he'll check back later.
In the hallway he extracts a pledge not to name the bad guy. "That could not be a bigger spoiler," Feige says.

watched cap'n america yesterday, it was amazing. the winter soldier is one of the best marvel villains, when he appeared and the music started playing you knew shit was about to get real
Alright you dumb, unpatriotic jerks, going around trying to spoil AN AMERICAN MOVIE that hasn't even COME OUT IN AMERICA YET; time to take a break from all that because I got some news.
Amy Acker is gonna be on Agents of SHIELD!!!! (http://www.avclub.com/article/amy-acker-gets-her-inevitable-guest-spot-marvels-a-202719) She'll play the cellist Coulson was dating in The Avengers, and is being menaced by a super-powered threat from her past. I'm pretty excited and might even watch this episode because Acker is an absolutely phenomenal actress (and has made frequent appearances in Whedon projects, like Angel, Dollhouse, Cabin in the Woods, and Much Ado About Nothing).
lol @ missing her best performance in person of interest. some fan you are!

Though honestly the Winter Soldier didn't feature into the plot as heavily as I thought he would have, what with the movie being named after him and everything.
Spoiler: Dat big giant plot twist(click to see content)
So SHIELD turned out to be mostly Hydra the entire time? Kind of casts a different light on the rest of the MCU movies up until now, especially Avengers and Iron Man.
Also how the hell do they plan to keep doing Agents of SHIELD without actually having a SHIELD?

I don't think it really was most of it, probably people in high places and a decent portion of everyone, but more something like 50/50 of the actual headcount with the little people, maybe 65/35 at most. I think everyone in Agents of SHIELD (and the upcoming Agent 13) are a good representation of where the actual people stand. The structure has a giant issue, sure, but the right people should still be around.

Well, that question really is "who was running it before then". There were those board guys (that got killed by Pierce) (except the woman Widow impersonated, she must still be somewhere), the money people, the scientists, and the techs and the agents. A bunch of scientists and high level people must be those that gave orders leading to the events of the movie. But the board guys didn't even seem aware of that, so even though HYDRA was well infiltrated, they were only puppeteering the board guys, they weren't actually them (there was only Pierce), so the ones officially giving orders weren't necessarily HYDRA. What I get from that is that the HYDRA guys were high-ranking people, they get their hand on a lot of projects and they coordinate them to get their results, but they weren't actually the ones leading SHIELD, they were manipulating the ones leading SHIELD. Only Fury was the director. However, even without a director, with the whole compartmentalization thing, the teams like Coulson or Victoria Hand can still keep running on their own, for all we know. If the Hub gets scrubbed clean of HYDRA people, that's who SHIELD can be now, Hand and Coulson and everyone like them. And the board woman whom Widow impersonated. So Fury, the director, isn't there anymore, but the teams can still act independently.
It's true that without a director, the teams may be left without orders to make up an organization as a whole, but they do have high ranking people like Hand who can bring a bit of coordination between some of the teams at the Hub (the Triskelion may be rocks and pebbles now, but the Hub should still be there as long as it wasn't crawling with HYDRA). Hell, Coulson was supposed to be Fury's second in command - but him being supposedly dead to everyone below "level 7 access" might be an issue.
That being said, figuring out they were doing HYDRA's work all along is likely to be a hard hit for all the good-willed people. But IMO they can always have some mentally strong leaders who will pull their shit together even after that. So that's who SHIELD is going to be. And Hill, even if she joins Stark and the Avengers, can still help that (she replaces Fury in some story arcs as the director of SHIELD in the comics).
(by the way, I'm assuming that Hand is at the end of the day one of the good people, I don't know much about her and I read that she does some bad shit, but she's not fundamentally a traitor and it would annoy me if they did HYDRA infiltration AND THEN another traitor group in SHIELD)
tl;dr worst case scenario is the Hub and the likes become some sort of mercenary gang but they'll still be around IMO.

Spoiler: reactions(click to see content)
BATROC THE LEAPER (and that fucking fight scene was gorgeous)
ARNIM ZOLA COMPLETE WITH TV FACE AND CAMERA HEAD
STEPHEN STRANGE
DANNY PUDI CAMEO
also I can't believe Senator Larry Sanders is a member of HYDRA!!!
Like Person Man I was kinda surprised by how the Winter Soldier didn't play a huge role plotwise; but I do think he played an important part emotionally, for Cap. Like, hypothetically, his action scenes (which were awesome, don't get me wrong) could've been filled by, I dunno, superpowered (for some reason) Crossbones, probably, but you'd lose the a lot of the emotional core of the movie and would've been a blow to the movie as a whole.
A lot less Sharon Carter than I had expected. Just minor interaction with Cap and no outright mention of her being related to Peggy. Guess they're saving it for the sequel.
But hey, in return for less of her we got all that great Cap-Widow stuff, the Cap-Falcon stuff, Cap-Fury, hell every relationship. All of it was really well done and all of the major characters were given a lot of good characterization. And all of them got at least one badass moment, which was really great. Also Black Widow needs a movie pronto.
Oh, and I would *not* like to be a civilian driving a car and get caught in the middle of this. That civilian body count, man (of course without a drop of blood), and Hill going all "there will be countless innocent victims" or something like that, girl there already IS countless innocent victims.
Didn't seem like there was a lot of actual casualties; they kept showing people actually escaping and had stuff like Black Widow helping people evacuate during that highway fight scene. And when cars and buses were destroyed they were usually empty (specifically I'm thinking of that overturned bus that was being shot up; everyone but Cap was shown to have evacuated.
Stillwell ( Justin Hammer) wants to be part of the agents of shield tv show.
Who's ready for Agents of Hammer?
Huuuuuuuuuuuh? That kinda seems like a step down for Sam Rockwell. I mean I know TV has lost a lot of that "TV is an inferior medium for idiots" vibe has gone on for pretty much its entire history, and I know Rockwell isn't an A-list actor or anything, but still... he's been in a lot of high-profile and/or high-prestige stuff, it really does seem like a step down for him to star on a broadcast show.
But hey, seems pretty clear he loves playing Hammer, and more power to him. He's pretty fucking great!
Haha you are so late Jmorphman, this news been around for like 3 days now. I'm excited too. You should pick up show again because it's much better than it was before, trust me on that.
I just got burned so badly, after being so excited (Whedon show set in the MCU!). I'm probably gonna wait till the season ends and try sampling a few episodes, I guess.
I'm only worried her casting can mean that she will be dropped out/reduced from Person of Interest. I will be crying from rage if that happens. :-\
Seems like it's just for a single episode; unless, I dunno, maybe her body and soul is consumed and possessed by an Old One and joins the Agents as the Old One struggles to adapt to the present day and struggles with the cellist's feelings and memories influencing it?
And seriously pick up Person of Interest already! You keep saying how awesome Amy Acker is and you are missing her best role. I mean I love her character there way more than I loved Illirya and that's saying alot.
lol @ missing her best performance in person of interest. some fan you are!
Hey guys, I was just listing the stuff she's done with Whedon, never said anything about not watching Person of Interest, calm down! Stop yelling at me!
... but that said I actually haven't watched it and I know I should (Michael Emerson AND Amy Acker in one show!) but there's so much good TV on today it's hard to find the time!!!
but yeah I'm having trouble imagining how her role as Illyria could be outdone >:[

You see that it was being evacuated when Cap was stuck at its end and the guy started shooting along the entire length of the bus. From what I saw, there should still have been some people inside at that time. And a lot of cars went flying and got overturned and crushed while still driving. Some people escaped after a bunch of cars crashed, but that can't have been everyone.

Eh, it sure looked like they all got away to me.
I think the big difference between Cap 2 (or an even better comparison, Avengers), and say, Man of Steel, at least in terms of collateral damage, is that the heroes actually seem concerned with the damage being caused and they try to help people, and there's not an overbearing feeling of "oh boy everything's so sad and serious and please please take Superman serious see look he's brooding". It's all in the attitude, and the Marvel movies got it and DC don't.

Or at least the ending. I didn't like the whole 'friendship above everything, even brainwashing', felt a bit shoehorned even if it's predictable. I think the whole thing would've worked better if Bucky walked (or more accurately jumped) out of the collapsing ship thinking he had fatally wounded Captain America (their fight would've to take place after he switches the chips), felt shocked, and then started regaining his memories.
Him saving Cap from drowning and then dissapearing was just...awkward.

I can't wait for the 13th so I can finally watch The Winter Soldier. Everyone keeps saying it is great, and from the trailers, it is indeed great.
Also, they seem to really be pushing towards a solo Black Widow film... which makes me happy... and very sad at the same time. Black Widow is likely to lead her own film before Wonder Woman herself. This is wrong.
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Avengers sequel due in 2015
Post by: DKDC on April 07, 2014, 12:57:51 am
Widow's personal developments have happened through the team movies, I don't think a solo movie would happen for her, but after what happens in Cap 2 we're definitely getting more in the next team movies, at least I'm pretty sure that's what they said in some interview. I think Age of Ultron is supposed to bring that up (and it has been described as being more about the individuals, more personal, so there's definitely space for some of that).
edit - especially if AoU is about everyone wondering if they're not fucking up big time with what they're doing (Stark's going to build Ultron, Cap and what happened in this movie, Widow and her past...) it can easily work with how they described the movie.

Post by: QuickFist on April 07, 2014, 01:01:36 am
I think Widow would have a movie but not alone, it could be with Hawkeye or something. But I don't think she has enough in the MCU to have her own solo movie.

Team up Black Widow and Hawkeye (with Widow having more attention), maybe delve into her past. Call it Black Widow: Red Ledger or something. It'd be great!
Also, they seem to really be pushing towards a solo Black Widow film... which makes me happy... and very sad at the same time. Black Widow is likely to lead her own film before Wonder Woman herself. This is wrong.
Well, think of it like this: would you rather have a Black Widow before a Wonder Woman movie made by the people currently in charge of DC's movies?

Not really an avid movie watcher but I managed to watch and love this movie. It's the 2nd best movie in the universe so far IMO but only because I thought the second half of IM1 was weak.
So far I've seen all the IMs, Avengers and this. Skipped the Thor movies, Hulk and Cap 1. Do I need to see any of those? I'm not THAT much of a fan of Thor as a character and I've heard that Hulk was lame.

Thor 2 was great, Thor 1 is a lot better than it gets credit for. The first half of Cap 1 is one of the best superhero movies I've seen, and the second half is one of the worst. Incredible Hulk is... not great. The only relevant thing it brought to the table is something you already know from the Avengers.

Thor 1 is good but not awesome IMO, Thor 2 goes bigger on battles in the same vein as Avengers, Cap 1 is a bit of a war movie, serious and all, with one superhero thrown in and a nazi guy who suddenly rips off his own face to become the Red Skull. Hulk (the remake) was done a while back and before the whole group of movies were fully decided, it was kind of their first try. They did have some ideas since RDJ/Tony Stark comes up to Banner in that post-credit scene that started there.

The amazing Edgar Wright is fabricating this magical movie of wonders. So sit your ass down and shut your face.
And now there's this:
Quote
Over the weekend at the Wizard World Comic Con, Nathan Fillion teased fans that he might have a cameo in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy. When asked if he wanted a part in the film, the actor replied with, “wanting to get a part….or maybe did.” He then got fans even more excited when he said, “maybe you’ll be surprised. Maybe. Check the credits.”
Of course, this is far from official confirmation. For all we know, Fillion could just be having fun with those who were in attendance at the Firefly panel that was taking place at convention. Then again, that’s a pretty big tease and given the actor’s history with Marvel king Joss Whedon, it’s very possible that he may have a cameo in the film.
Whether he’ll actually play a significant character or role is another question entirely, but I still do think that it’s within the realm of possibility that he’ll be showing up here. I kind of hope he does, too. Fillion seems like a natural fit for the Marvel universe and I do find it a bit odd that we haven’t seen him appear in one of the studio’s films yet.
If you want to see Fillion’s Guardians of the Galaxy tease for yourself, check out the video below. The question is asked at around the 38 minute mark.

He doesn't need a lead role in a movie though. It would flop hard as hell.
Dude, the next Marvel movie stars a comic team that's been perpetually third-rate (until very very recently) and completely unknown to the general public, and is partly comprised of a gun-toting space raccoon and a giant walking tree alien. And they've already projected it's gonna do well enough to start planning a sequel. They know what they're doing. It's not gonna flop.
Back to Ant-Man: I wouldn't really say the character (in all his iterations, even O'Grady) deserves a solo movie, but his powerset is so potentially visually interesting that it all but demands one. And they've got Edgar Wright on it, so it's going to look absolutely gorgeous.

the movie "endgame" was pretty lame. Red skull plan was too focused on "america".
I think it would have made it better if he had targets all over the world instead of bombs for american cities, it would drive the point home.
Huh? The bombs were targeting cities around the world. They even were labeled!
I mean, IT'S BEEN a while since I saw the movie, but there was definitely like a Berlin bomb, and more. I'm almost definitely sure. I think the gunship itself was going to New York maybe, but the bombs work just as well.
i always ask for another reboot of the punisher but im also aware they'd never make a R-rated movie set in the MCU.
MCU doesn't have enough grey characters. he could be the street-level guy who does the questionable things and fucks with the superheroes
Hopefully the Netflix series will be able to do that kinda stuff; away from the standards of being on ABC, in their 8PM slot, and away from the movie execs who would want to tamp down on any moral ambiguity.

So yeah, this AoSHIELD episode...
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Totally called it about what would become of SHIELD after Winter Soldier (Hand and Coulson, the Hub). But it felt a bit "eh" with how forceful they were in trying to make it look like Hand was HYDRA / try to make you wonder which side she was on, and the end feels extremely fishy. I mean, Hand was so suspicious of everyone a minute ago, ordering Coulson's whole team to be shot on sight, then she gets confirmation that Coulson and May aren't HYDRA and strikes Ward off the list of suspects too easily - everyone forgets a bit too quickly that Ward never even saw the "out of the shadow" message until the end (he was still supposed to think he was going for the Clairvoyant). Considering how crazy Hand went when assuming Coulson's team was HYDRA, it's just stupid that she would dismiss Ward that easily. Especially with how everyone goes "oh, I should have seen it coming" about Garret, why dismiss Ward. And then Hand goes "eh, it's obvious he won't say a word with regular methods, so go nuts" allowing Ward to shoot Garret - and there, even Garret looks surprised that Ward shoots Hand. It's way too telegraphed that Ward is infiltrating HYDRA and the shots were faked one way or another. And then the preview throws another layer on top of it saying "blah blah blah reveal their true allegiance". Not to mention that they're throwing yet another "ohoho so was he a traitor all along ? DUNN DUNN DUNN" cliffhanger at the end of the episode, right after doing the exact same thing with May, who turns out to not be a traitor right in the next episode.
It's a good episode, because shit is finally hitting the fan and it finally shows what SHIELD really is supposed to show us, but it's just way too obvious.

I haven't actually seen the show nor actually read this interview but there was an interview with the showrunners that had them describe how Ward's actions throughout the show were all part of HYDRA's plot to dig deep into Coulson's team. He became Skye's S.O. to keep her under close tabs. He seduces May because she's the biggest threat. That's all the ones I saw listed and I don't have the article itself but... I dunno that kinda sounds like they're going for a straight-up double agent situation and not a triple agent one. I do suspect that Ward will switch sides because he's in true wuv with Skye, with a possible redemptive death at the end of the season or something.

Yeaaah most of those questions are pretty stupid, and already have obvious answers. Wher were Hulk and Hawkeye during Cap 2 ? We already have interviews saying Avengers 2 will answer exactly that. Do big wigs care about Coulson ? Fury cares, and he's the director of SHIELD, so we already know it's a yes - and his report says he died only for a minute or so. As for Sif, it's like they didn't even watch the episode, since Coulson tells her "don't tell him, I'd like to do that myself". Vibranium ? Not enough material for SHIELD to build a fleet on it or even Stark to build whole suits, even if he can synthesize it. Dumb site is dumb.

My bad, they didn't put it as a question, they specifically said they wouldn't --
Quote
Secondly, none of these questions will deal with the tired hand-wringing over why Captain America didn't drop into Iron Man 3, why the Hulk didn't fight The Winter Soldier, and why Hawkeye hasn't been compelled to help his Avengers buddies at all. If you need an answer, actors are expensive, so there it is.
-- except they got the completely wrong reason for that, that's why I noted it. They even have an article about Hawkeye in the sidebar on that very same question, but they're focusing on all the wrong things, like how the writers thought of throwing a quote about him but eventually cut it out - and without actually answering the question (of why he wasn't there) and not mentioning those interviews that say we'll hear about that in AoU. So, dumb news site.

This is the first episode I've seen since, jeez, the seventh. And I dunno, it was decent, I guess. I just couldn't get invested in anything, but it does seem like they know what they're doing now and are competent at it now, at least. But the set design and direction is still unbelievably bad for such an expensive, centerpiece show (the May-Ward fight scene, however, was aces). It's pretty bizarre how much money is being spent for such a cheap looking result.
Very glad to see that Ward was not redeemed by the power of love or made a heroic sacrifice or any of that bullcrap. But then again they might bring him back next year and do like a Suicide Squad-type deal or something and do the redemption arc there, and just, no, please.
"I found it guys" was indeed pure Whedon, but it was the only thing I'd call pure Whedon in the whole episode, though. :(

But then again they might bring him back next year and do like a Suicide Squad-type deal or something and do the redemption arc there, and just, no, please.
Ward's character ran dry two minutes after his introduction in the first episode. Mr. Diversity-token-replacement had better lines and characterization in this episode alone (plus the previous one with the Howling Commando souvenirs, that was fun) than Ward in the whole season, so I'm rooting for him to keep his place in the team (he's good), screw Ward. Suicide Squad deal with on-off appearances second role (like Mike) is the most I'd take from him, they totally tried to wrap him up and get it over with him with this "need orderz" deal (and even that was weird, half of the time it felt like he was trying to screw Garret over at the last minute, and the other half he was gimme orderz so I can live, I think they just got lost on what to do with him). Yeah, the Whedon was kind of crammed into this one episode, and stranded off in the rest of the season. That was a bit weird, like this one episode (and the previous one) was made to remind us of who's at the head and to ask us to pretty please give it a chance again in season two. It made for a good finale but the contrast was harsh. ... Come to think of it, the way Ward was wrapped up does feel Whedon too, in the sense that redeeming him one way or another would have gone against the style, so tossing him away was "close enough".

But then again, Cap 2 did much better than Thor 2, and it has the most visible and scathing social message of any Marvel movie.
I think we'll probably just have the same pattern as always, mostly decent light-hearted with an Avengers and a Cap 2 every so often. I guess I can live with that, but it hurts so much to think about what amazing visuals Edgar Wright could've done with a hero who can shrink and grow at a moment's notice. :qq:

A possible explanation for Wright's depature. (http://screenrant.com/ant-man-edgar-wright-quits-explanation/) Latino Review claims that Wright was not fired, and this whole situation did not result from him not getting the movie made fast enough (which didn't really hold water in the first place because Wright has never been one to drag out productions and this was his dream project). Instead it seems like the production was repeatedly stopped by Marvel over script rewrites, with Marvel giving note after note about the "core morality of the piece" and how it must have cameos and so on. After two rewrites by Wright and Joe Cornish, Marvel then gave the script over to some of their in-house writers and it came in last week. Apparently the script was really awful, and at that point the writing was on the wall for Wright, and Marvel and Wright realized they would not be able to reconcile their creative differences.
Marvel forcing out directors (and writers, and actors) is nothing new, and it's all pretty depressing. :( But here's some happy news, since Drew Goddard, who was going to be writing and showrunning the Daredevil series for Netflix, got hired by Sony to write and direct their Sinister Six movie, Steven S. DeKnight will take over (http://comicsalliance.com/steven-s-deknight-to-take-over-as-showrunner-for-marvels-daredevil-on-netflix/), though Goddard will remain as an executive producer and the two scripts he already wrote will be used. DeKnight wrote a few Buffy episodes, several Angel episodes (that were among the highlights of the two seasons he was on), and, more importantly, created and showran Starz's very widely acclaimed Spartucus series. So that's good.

Post by: Speedpreacher on May 27, 2014, 04:31:47 am
Yeah, DeKnight! I kind of wish he was running the Iron Fist series, but I guess since it's not close to filming yet he may just move on over to that next. Spartacus was really great, but I don't know how that would translate into something like Daredevil. Especially since I still don't know how much the Mouse will let them get away with, even on Netflix.

Not without significant rewriting to make it more in tune with McKay's style (turning the movie from the tight, inventive, snappy and fast-paced movie Wright would've made into something looser and more lazily paced, like the improv-heavy style of comedies that are so popular these days).
The rest of the guys... don't really inspire a lot of confidence.

Nah, all the rumors seem to point towards execs wanting to shoehorn franchise characters in and the new rewritten script apparently has a bunch of really bad current pop culture references. I think Disney/Marvel is panicking because Ant-Man is such an unknown, odd (and potentially easily ridiculed) concept (which is somewhat similar but also not to Guardians of the Galaxy*) and they want to take steps to minimize any and all risk.
*apparently, Disney was pushing for Guardians to be their "Star Warsy space franchise", and was fairly excited about it, and willing to allow the weirdness inherent to the concept and the unconventional director choice of the guy who made Slither. Then it ended up that they bought Star Wars itself and Disney was basically prepared to write off GotG, even having the sets start to be torn down; when the GotG trailer hit and got so much positive buzz, however, they changed their mind and are now either open to or are actively planning a sequel. All rumors of course but something to think about.

Well, if they're going for that then it's obvious we'll have a young Dr. Strange, Leto would fit better than Franco, but I don't want any of them as Strange TBH

Can't have him be too old, that will scare away the four quadrants, it's same reason why you can't make a female superhero movie. Hollywood logic will never fail!
Although, Leto at least is older by a decade than most of the other Avengers (save for Robert Downey Jr.), it's just that he looks so much younger. Dude's like an ethereal elven creature or something. I'm sure he'd knock the role out of the park but a Dr. Strange who has much more of an age gap between him and the rest of the heroes is just more interesting.

Keanu does not have the range to play Doctor Strange, plain and simple. You gotta have somebody able to take a journey from narcissistic surgeon for hire (and I'm not talking like Dr. House, who was at least willing to help if the case was interesting, I'm talking a real mercenary son of a bitch) to guy who loses it all and spends everything he has to get it back, to student relearning everything he's ever learned in life, to mystic taking his first great steps, to Sorcerer Supreme. You've got to do that story in one movie, because we can't survive without origin stories apparently. Keanu couldn't do character arc that convincing over three movies, much less one.
As for Johnny Depp, I'll take my Strange without facepaint or fake teeth or a bird on his head or whatever Depp would add to the costume because he's more interested in playing a funny looking character than actually acting these days.

Depp is a good actor, but he tends to like weird characters (I would say interesting, but some of his choices are just bad) And I feel Strange isn't weird enough for him and he would turn the character into something it doesn't need (like his willy wonka).
Aiden gillen(Lityle finger) would be good too (he's newsrama #1 choice). And Iced you have to be trolling if you are suggesting keanu, he is extremely dull in emotion or charisma. And would be a very flat Strange.

Post by: Jmorphman on June 06, 2014, 12:30:31 am
Depp doesn't act anymore, he just coasts off charisma and fancy hats and or makeup. Which actually works for something like Jack Sparrow, but a Doctor Strange movie would require actual heavy lifting and not just wacky snarky pirate guy.
And Keanu Reeves just seems like a disastrous fit for this; he has a certain range and excels at playing that (and there is no shame in doing that), but Doctor Strange is going to be a really tough role (if they do it right, at least). One has to believably play the complete and utter asshole doctor who slowly and slowly matures and becomes a defender of planet, and make that a believable and coherent transition.
Also it just doesn't seem likely that Marvel would pony up the salaries those two actors would merit; they've always gone with relative unknowns (or someone like RDJ who star had faded and wasn't really getting work). Reeves and Depp would start off with the salaries RDJ is getting now, and Marvel is notoriously stingy in that regard.

Of the two I'd prefer Hardy. The look would be all wrong, but boy could he do the role justice. Cumberbatch would have a close enough look, but I'm kind of sick of him. Willing to admit that's probably just me being mad at STD and the season finale of Sherlock.

How does potential plot developments in future movies have any bearing on the quality of Cap 2 at all?
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
It's not as if these are inorganic, shoved-in and undeveloped plot threads designed solely to set up the next movie. SHIELD being infiltrated by HYRDA and then being shuttered develops naturally from the narrative and themes of Cap 2. The entire message of the movie is that organizations that amass that much power and oversight over the world will inevitably be corrupted, that even noble organizations founded on the highest ideals can be twisted to become the very thing they're fighting against, and that nevertheless being idealistic about these kinds of things is inherently noble and just and should not be discarded; all of that adds up to form a potent critique of the modern surveillance state. SHIELD being gone is of course something they are going to play with in later films, and was likely handed down to the screenwriters, but that doesn't matter, because they made it work. Who gives a shit if they screw up something down the line? Not only has that not even happened, but it won't turn back time and make Cap 2 a lesser film.
That Hydra can ever really be stamped out? Hell no You think that Hydra isn't going to find millions of new psychos willing to sign up, now that they've introduce to the public, (ironically enough) by the 'good guys'? ---Heeeeeeellllll no

- The movie never says HYDRA is dead. Why is this an issue for you. I have no doubt HYDRA will continue to exist in Cap 3. In fact I'm pretty sure that Strucker is running his own HYDRA cell (or is at least affiliated with it). So uh yeah. Not really sure where you're going with this.
- I don't think it makes particular sense to assume that Black Widow posted every single document in SHIELD's database to the web. It's pretty clear that it's supposed to be their espionage shit, not tech specs or whatever.
- This is just hilariously dumb. They were just handed a file about Bucky, that's how they'll find him. And who gives a shit where Bucky sleeps? Was anyone waiting on bated breath where Cap will live when he was revived in the present day? (and hey, they explain that in this movie!!!)
- This is the only remotely reasonable critique of the leaking. And even then it's recognized as being a problem. Black Widow herself is directly affected by her leaking, but the entire point is that the cost is worth the sacrifice, that the SHIELD-HYDRA entity needed to be taken down.

It killed SHIELD and HYDRA; it's absolutely not pointless. The entire point was to destroy this conglomerated security organization that had become both a serious asset and serious threat to world peace. The leak is important to the movie itself because it reaffirms its themes, and has immediate impact on the plot because of how it affects the characters (Cap is no longer being hunted but is out of a job, Fury is left to hunt down HYDRA remnants, Black Widow is going to rebuild her covers, Sharon Carter joins the CIA, Maria Hill joins Stark Industries). These characters have all suffered consequences from the leaking, but they're moving on. There's no way to say it does nothing for the story.
Futhermore, the leak is going to go on to impact future MCU entries. There are still remnants of both organizations (Coulson's and Strucker's groups, respectively), and they'll eventually reform their respective organizations, but they've each been dealt with a serious blow. SHIELD's death prompted Fury to entrust Coulson with reforming it and making it less prone to corruption, and SHIELD's absence in Avengers 2 will play major ramifications on the plot, apparently (the rumor is that Stark will have his own private global security firm, and the Ultron plot comes out of that).

iced is back
from outer space
well you see, right now feige wants to put whoever goes as strange as the basis for the next phases. He has said that he needs the strange actor to be someone to occupy the same type of space in those movies as RDJ. What this means, to me, is that whoever they approach will know how big this will be and will be demanding to be paid accordingly. As far as actors with enough star power to replace rdj that actually look like strange, I wouldnt mind Keanu. Sure there are a lot of smaller actors that might be better, but considering they will be aiming for a celebrity from the getgo, I dont think Keanu would be the worst choice of those previously rumoured.
ABOUT WINTER SOLDIER
It was a great movie with a status quo shift that allows for a good thread to be rendered for the followup movies, anyone expectng those books to be the same as the comics would probably already be angry that there wasnt a spider-man or mutants running around.

RDJ at the time of Iron Man did not have the level of star power that Depp does now. None of the leads of any of the movies made so far have. I just don't think it's that likely.

At no point have I said that the movie as a whole sucks, I'm saying I don't like the ending because of the same reason, we've already talked about.
All's I'm saying is is that it doesn't make sense to blame Cap 2 for things that haven't even happened yet.
The gist of it is that Stark has made the Avengers into a SHIELD replacement. My bet is something in the opening goes wrong, and compels him to distrust the other Avengers and try to replace them with Ultron or something. But who knows!
A theme made null/void before the movie was even over.
Why? How? The theme is reinforced by the leak. The theme is reinforced by Cap personally taking down SHIELD/HYDRA's spying/drone apparatus. This is a movie that sides with Manning and Snowden against the CIA, drone strikes, and blind patriotism. I think that's enormously brave and powerful of them, and the movie as a whole forms cohesive social commentary about that stuff.
Then again, it's pointless, you know both organizations are coming back, neither one "died", don't you see man? Being able to guess , beat for beat, how it's going to play out shows that it's a bad ending, it should leave you saying "Whats going to happen next?"---" I've no clue".
But that doesn't matter. It works for this story. It will work for the next few MCU films. When they come back they'll be changed (Coulsen's SHIELD is gonna be smaller, less powerful, IDK what HYDRA will do). But even if they came back exactly as they did before in Avengers 2, it still wouldn't matter. The Dark Phoenix Saga's power is not taken away by Jean's latter resurrection. The Death of Captain America is not ruined because it turned out he was shot with time bullets. And so on and so forth. Good stories are good stories, it doesn't matter if they get retconned or overturned or whatever.
Fury and Pierce only mention the espionage stuff, there's nothing in the movie to support a reading that Black Widow also leaked all the technical stuff.
That might be fun, but come on, you know he wants more then that.
I dunno, not really. Steve Rogers is exactly the kind of guy who'd be content to be an artist (but superhero on the side), I think. That was the status quo for many years in the comics, and I think it holds true for his movie version too.

Best known for his critically-lauded work in “Law & Order: Criminal Intent,” “Men in Black, “Full Metal Jacket” and “Homicide,” D’Onofrio will play Wilson Fisk, a powerful businessman whose interests in the future of Hell’s Kitchen will bring him into conflict with the blind attorney Matt Murdock and his alter ego Daredevil.
He should be pretty good.

D'Onofrio is a good choice, he has the hight, and he can be a scary SOB. I just hope he can come close to Roscoe Lee Browne's voice.
The gist of it is that Stark has made the Avengers into a SHIELD replacement. My bet is something in the opening goes wrong, and compels him to distrust the other Avengers and try to replace them with Ultron or something. But who knows!
Hmmmm, that would tie into the "House Party Protocol" from IM3, if something or someone hijacked the armor(s).
Why? How? The theme is reinforced by the leak. The theme is reinforced by Cap personally taking down SHIELD/HYDRA's spying/drone apparatus. This is a movie that sides with Manning and Snowden against the CIA, drone strikes, and blind patriotism. I think that's enormously brave and powerful of them, and the movie as a whole forms cohesive social commentary about that stuff.
Because, just like the leak, it was based on, it won't stop, it never stops, heck I'm suprised that people are shocked by it really, more so those of us on the net know that everything they do, say, watch or capture on is being watched already, and that it will never stop. It's the times we live in, it's going to happen. Heck, Sharon went to work for the CIA right? they're into the very same things.
His trust in Fury was gone soon as he found out that Fury had his place bugged and that the girl he was trying to ask out was sent to watch over him. It would have made more sence to have that "this isn't freedom, it's fear" talk at the end of the movie, followed by a quick speech about how Fury likely knew WS was Bucky the whole time,. and that both men were being controlled by 'their' sides respectively, one by brainwashing and torture, the other with lies and deception, then quit Shield.
Now be honest, you would have loved to hear it.

Well, this is different in that none of the real-world leaks revealed that the CIA was actually run by Nazis. The leak didn't directly take down SHIELD, it just exposed to everyone that it needed to be taken down. It's a comic book world, that takes place in the same universe where a talking raccoon runs around shooting guns and is best friends with a tree. So one shouldn't expect a super realistic depiction of global geopolitics.

IDK who that could be. The article suggests Milla Donovan, Matt Murdock's once erstwhile wife, but I'm not so sure they'd introduce her so soon. The role doesn't sound much like Karen Page either, and I doubt it's Elektra. I dunno!

I'd love to see him back in something more than a series like Castle, especially if that's for a part of the big M, but yeah, Strange gets more serious with time, Fillion should be the opposite (and it's not worth having only his voice). And he still needs to be Hal Jordan in any Green Lantern/Justice League movie. ... And be in Dr. Horrible 2. And not to state the obvious, but that video is kind of completely random, there's nothing to associate Fillion with Strange. It's just tossing a name and a role. Random rumor.

I love Fillion but he is way too old for Nova. Nova is supposed to be a teenager (to start out, at least)! Marvel could use Nova as their version of Spider-Man (especially since Nova originated as a homage/updating of Spider-Man anyway).
I don't really see him doing well as Strange either.

jezebel reporters are angry that people are attempting to defend rememder also the person that started the campaign to fire rememder is now claiming she was threatened to be raped over it.
Quote
I have been called a moron, a slut, an ugly bitch, a dumb cunt, a racist, and every other colorful, cruel, and sexist insult in the playbook.
I've been threatened with rape, been told to shut up, and been told explicitly that my opinion doesn't matter.
I've been accused of trying to ruin someone's life.
I've been infantilized, condescended to, pat on the head and told that my money doesn't matter, that I was hysterical and irrational, that I was making too much out of nothing, that I was a prude.
I've had to answer the question "did you actually read the book?" more times than I can count, and every time the question's asked with that cruel, invisible "sweetheart" at the end.
I've lost an incredible amount of respect for creators whose art and writing I enjoyed.
Been sent unsolicited pictures of stranger's genitalia (i.e. dicks) by direct message on Twitter
Received more than one offer to "cure" me - i.e. "fix" the fact that I'm queer
Had my personal and identifying information - including name, age, location, and photograph - posted without my consent or knowledge as the butt of a post insinuating that I'm "hysterical" and that I have a "vendetta"
Tell me again that the glorification and excusing of rape in comics doesn't feed rape culture in real life.
Tell me again that it's "fiction".
Tell me fucking again.

Guys, you see, it's not statutory rape, it's consenting, she's the one who was sober enough to remember and he wasn't, there was no misleading, but we hate it because he's black and she's white and "it's rape culture" so we're going to call it rape even though we just said it wasn't rape by any legal definition. No, we're not angry because it's a black man having sex with a white woman (that would be racist), we're angry because it perpetuates the culture of black men having sex with white wome--- I mean, it's okay if a black man has sex with a white woman if it's consensual, but it perpetuates the image of rape by a black man unto a whi--- no wait, it wasn't actually a rape, but we're calling it rape anyway becau--- ah, fuck it. We want the author fired because he showed something we don't like.

I believe the whole crux of the argument is that she's supposedly 14, even though Remender stated her age as 22-23 both implicitly and overtly. And he wrote the story arc that created the character in question. And the time jump story arc. So he'd know.
I really don't want to agree that it's a racial thing, but it's either that or she's using the politics of outrage as a promotional tool.

tumblr "feminists" ( note quotation marks) are moved by the teenage like wish to show themselves more moral than those that surround them, part of this is done by finding victims for their moral crusade that they attack repeatedly without any sense.
This is pretty much just a cover for doing pretty disgusting things.
Their answer to "its not rape, see its even stated there" ( I even read the book he panicks when he wakes up and she calms him down taking it as a joke) is to double down on how its rape culture because the author shouldnt have shown the daughter of a villain having sex with a african american.i still dont get why they are trying to push this onto the falcon actor, all they want is a scandal that fits their political agenda of promoting rape culture as a threat.
They even attempt to shame Gillen by supporting Remender.

No, they go at length to point out that yes, they read the book, and yes, they know she's 23. It's really exactly what I paraphrased, they know she's not underage, they know it's not statutory rape, but they call it rape anyway because it "promotes rape culture" just by mentioning a black guy having sex with a younger white girl. So it's not rape by any definition of the word, but they call it rape because there is even the slightest confusion. In short, "if you have to ask, then it's definitely rape" (despite both the book, the characters, and the guy who wrote it, all pointing out it's not). And the older black guy with the younger white girl simply reminds people of the rape culture of black guys on white girls, therefore it's part of it. I'm not joking. They call it, and I quote, "firmly entrenched in the gray area of consent with a person of color" (disregarding the fact that it's not a gray area at all in the first place, the book explains why, and the article even specifically admits to it). It's because there is a doubt, and there is a black guy. That's the entirety of the problem.

It's totally gonna be Tony Stark who makes him; there's no one else who it would make sense for. Heck, even if Ant Man had come out before Avengers 2 it would've made more sense for Stark to make Ultron. There's just more emotional connection to him. Only way Pym would've worked would be if Ant Man was a phase one film.
also from that issue of EW:
Spoiler: Stark's Masterplan(click to see content)
For better or worse (trust us, it's worse), his Tony Stark has devised a plan that won't require him to put on the Iron Man suit anymore, and should allow Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and the Hulk to get some much needed R&R as well. His solution is Ultron, self-aware, self-teaching, artificial intelligence designed to help assess threats, and direct Stark's Iron Legion of drones to battle evildoers instead.
The hard part about battling Ultron, as the cover image suggests, is that he's not just a robot—he's a program, capable of uploading himself and disappearing not into the clouds but the Cloud. And he has a bad habit of rebuilding himself into stronger and more fearsome physical forms.

Peyton is someone that I've been a fan of for a long time. People may not remember, though probably your readers remember, that he was attached to Fantastic Four more than 10 years ago. We spent a lot of time together… and I got along with Peyton very, very well and he had awesome ideas and an awesome vision for the movie, and for various reasons he ended up leaving that movie...
He's come in to meet on a lot of our movies over the years, in particular Guardians. He had a lot of awesome things to say on Guardians. But James [Gunn] had a slightly more solid take that was of interest to us. But Peyton was always on our lists, and so when this happened and Edgar [Wright] said 'Not for me' we met with a handful of people, but Peyton was always one that I thought would be great.
It was not a slam-dunk that he would just step into it and do it. He wanted to be sure that he was wasn't just inheriting something or following someone else's lead. Or wasn't inheriting something that the evil studio had watered down to be something bad. I kept saying, 'You can either read what's online, or come in and talk to us and look at all this stuff.' He looked at everything, he talked with us, and he said 'Number one, I agree with the direction you're going in. And number two, I can add to it.' And he has – the movie is in as good a shape as it's ever been right now.
It's still very much in the spirit of what Edgar's original pitch was and the entire template of the movie is what Edgar set out and originally came and pitched us maybe eight years ago now. But it's on its way to being the absolute best version of what that movie could have been.

Yep. Absolute best version of that movie. Totally. OK so the actress who is playing Karen Page is really into cosplay, and that's cool, and then this happened: (http://37.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m77ux61IoM1r93b1wo1_1280.jpg) She knows what's up.

Kevin Feige talks Josh Brolin playing Thanos. (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/07/22/kevin-feige-on-josh-brolin-playing-thanos-in-guardians-of-the-galaxy/) Of note is that Brolin also did the motion capture performance, which shuts down the possibility that Andy Serkis was doing Thanos (not that that made much sense anyway, though). I'm super pumped to see what his Thanos is gonna be like!
Also Jim Starlin, the creator of Thanos, and co-creator of Drax and Gamora saw GotG and says it might be the best Marvel movie yet. (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/07/22/jim-starlin-creator-of-thanos-liked-what-he-saw-last-night/)

Great costume; keeps the Ant-Man feel while translating into something that will work in live action. Alright big news; Marvel has added another film to its schedule from now to 2019. (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/marvel-snaps-up-old-spider-720776) It's all due to Sony's delaying of Amazing Spider-Man 3 to 2018 (instead of 2016, which is so weird because pumping out movies in less than 2 years was really working well for them *cough*), which necessarily delayed ASM4. So Marvel is now claiming the weekend ASM4 was going to open.
Please please please be something that doesn't star a white dude!!! Iron Man 4 is now apparently not out of the question. (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/07/23/iron-man-4-not-out-of-the-question-for-robert-downey-jr/) They could probably bring back Fauxandarin and Justin Hammer, what with that Return of the King short. But who knows! I'm personally fine with no more Iron Mans for a while; I think it would be a better use of Marvel's limited time/money/release windows to promote new heroes to carry on the MCU than continue the IM franchise a bit longer. And you know, maybe sneak in a female or minority superhero movie in its place, or something? Surely that's not too much to ask for? >:[ Age of Ultron concept art: (http://i.imgur.com/i2xbi4S.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/wd601M9.jpg)

Crossbones doesn't make any amount of sense for Thunderbolts, unless they were doing a straight ripoff of Suicide Squad. He's an unrepentant racist, and I think a Thunderbolts movie would be more likely to use for its existing characters those that could conceivably be redeemed. He's all tied up with the Captain America stuff anyways.
I dunno how a Tbolts movie would work anyways, there simply aren't enough alive villains right now. But Abomination would definitely work, as would Justin Hammer. I think you really gotta have Zemo, Songbird, and Moonstone in there as well.

Yeah show makes much more sense; I mean, Zemo's backstory alone, that would take forever!
I do think you could probably fit in Songbird and Moonstone as villains at the start of a hypothetical movie (or show, even), like, have a montage of them before the credits, or something. Have em get foiled by a superhero (from offscreen, so you wouldn't have to use up one of the movies on anyone's contracts, of course), like suddenly Cap's shield whizzes by and knocks them out or something. Then off to jail, and crossover with Orange Is The New Black because Netflix!!!

Yes, thank heavens that he looks the part.
More to the point, Phoenix is absolutely perfect to play this role as he excels at playing guys that you can root for but also have dark sides you can be scared of. It's a shame that there's a thousand-to-one chance against him taking the role. He doesn't give two shits about money and I've always seen him as the type of guy that would only take a role if he really saw something in the character, the script or the director that he likes.
I won't believe it until he's on the poster.

Hank Pym's old and Michael Douglas. Hope's his daughter with Janet who will also be old and possibly dead, and Yellowjacket will be his son or his former student or something, watch. I'm more interested that this is basically Ant-Man Beyond, with Pym giving instructions to Lang via headset.
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: GotG in 2 weeks; hang on to your buns
Post by: Iced on July 27, 2014, 05:58:18 pm
The trailer had pym giving a speech about how heroes are fools, this speech is then shown to be given via helmet to Lang as Lang is running around miniaturized. he jumps onto a flying ant. Pym mocks him by asking if they shrunk his balls too.
Darren Cross is going to be the man Pym trained to replace him as Antman , head of the dyne corporation, who is now using their technology for "evil". Pym is thus, training Lang to perform a heist on something specific.
TBH I would rather have grady for this, not Lang.
Eva is not confirmed if she's wasp or red queen, she might be part of the "villains" teaming up with yellowjacket.
If some past rumours are true, pym used to be the yellowjacket villain in the wright adaptation.

Hope Pym is likely to be Janet in everything but name. And familiar relation to Hank Pym, natch. Probably will be donning the Wasp outfit by the end of the movie.
O'Grady makes no sense for a story like this. This is a story that only works with Scott Lang, a thief seeking redemption and becoming the sanctioned successor to an superhero legacy. O'Grady is just too... irredeemable (get it? Get it???).

Correction: Evangeline Lilly's character is in fact named Hope Van Dyne. (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/07/29/evangeline-lillys-character-in-ant-man-will-be-called-hope-van-dyne/) Which implies she's estranged with her dad (and which further implies there will be ant-related reconciliations in the movie). Also it's been confirmed that Janet is deceased in the present day as a result of a lab accident that made Hank retire (this is likely what caused said estrangement).
So, this could be pretty bad, depending on things. Killing off the founding female Avenger off-screen is pretty problematic, but it can be done correctly, I think. You'd definitely have to have Hope take on the identity of Wasp, and if they're still doing the flashbacks to the 60s, with Hank Pym as Ant Man, Janet as Wasp has definitely gotta be in there too.
and then the teaser for the end of the movie is that Jan has not in fact died but is stuck in the microverse and in the next movie the entire Ant-gang has to help her stop, I dunno, some Ant-Man villain or something from harnessing the Enigma force and conquering not only the Microverse but our own universe!!!

If there's a flashback part, it could be cool to see Hank and Janet be the guys with the original idea that led Fury to his "Avengers Initiative". Just to acknowledge the whole founding members thing.

It can see it working if the whole series is short and the episodes are like 10 minutes or even just short skits. Web series may be preferable. Not a regular big 24 episodes, hour-long episodes series that would require character development and story development to keep people interested. I don't really agree with the article, the movies might play it safe but Agents of SHIELD is the opposite. Not to mention it looks like they've always tried to push Ant-Man in the opposite direction too, and it might even be what drove people away if they wanted to do a hero movie, as it looks like we're getting an anti-hero's redemption story (as far as I understand, but note that I know nothing of Ant-Man).

more like ANT hero.
Hes more like a loser hero, marvel used to be very science pulpy so many of their first heroes are adventurers or mad scientists. Pym is both.
he slapped his wife once mid psychotic breakdown and somehow some shitty writers kept trying to make other characters react as if that was the end of the world. The storyline where he slapped her also had him creating a giant robot to attack himself and the avengers so he could save the day by beating it and ended with him court martialed and arrested, but hey, he slapped a gurl once while half insane.
he's still a insane scientist hero, which is what makes him funny. They seem to be going with disilusioned old hero betrayed by his protegee on the movie
powerset wise hes very interesting in the comics, he can grow, shrink, do the same to other stuff, he does cybernetics and advanced AI and he messes around with physics a lot. he has a doorway that leads to a offworld headquarters, that he can reprogram to offload onto any doorway. And he has assumed at least four personas ( everytime he gets depressed he reinvents himself ) . Antman YellowJacket GiantMan Wasp Hank Pym, science adventurer.

Just got home from watching it. Omg it was awesome. Groot and Rocket are so lovable. Ronan was really well portrayed. Kinda sad Karen Gillan didnt get much screen time. I was very surprised to see a certain character actually show up in the movie... coz i dont think i read anything about him being in. Finally they are talking about the infinity gems or stones as they say in the movie.
The after credits was kinda a let down. I will say though its definitely Marvels funniest movie to date.

Alright popping in to post this then I'm gone till Sunday, after I see GotG. I don't want no spoilers!
MCU head honcho Kevin Feige recently said that he very much wants to make a female superhero movie (even going on to dismiss the tired cliche of "well female-led movies fail at the box office by citing the numerous counterexamples that outweigh the flops). But "wanting" is as far as he goes. (http://www.avclub.com/article/marvels-kevin-feige-knows-everybody-wants-female-l-207689) He'd like to do it "sooner rather than later". Again, this is the guy in charge of everything. He goes on to explain that it's all because they have too many franchises right now and they would have to drop one of them for 4 years to do a female-led movie.
Which is... bullshit. There are six unannounced movies in the works, going up to 2019. Thor 3 and Avengers 3 will almost certainly be among those six; Ant Man and Doctor Strange sequels are probable (but not certain) as well. That leaves at least 2 slots. Surely there's room for a Captain Marvel movie in there? I mean, there's apparently working scripts for both a Blade movie and a Captain Marvel movie, and Feige has said there's a treatment for a Black Widow movie. And that was all recent, not like the probably abandoned Nick Fury movie, or the Iron Fist movie. Is he just bullshitting to hide these or something? There is a major blockbuster out right now starring a talking, gun-toting raccoon and a giant tree that only says I AM GROOT, they can take a chance on something less risky like a Black Widow or Captain Marvel movie.
It's pretty fucking sad that there hasn't been one yet.

The 6 unannounced movies are probably already determined, no... ? And none of them is based on a woman. If they wanted a movie with a woman, since they're already booked until 2019 with what they do have - and knowing that some of those will likely get sequels that aren't planned yet, another movie not related to those 6 would have to be for 2021 or 2023, or it would mean delaying one of the 6 that is already planned. And its potential sequels. AND the other movies like Avengers or whatever that this character would impact. So yeah, drop one for 4 years.

Because Marvel does not own the rights to make X-Men movies so that means Marvel can't make X-Men movies and they are talking specifically about movies that Marvel is going to make. It is really not difficult to figure out.

You are underestimating fox. If fox was that cooperative you would have seen those properties already return, but to them, fox, making shit movies with marvel properties is more profitable than allowing marvel to do them.
Any license returned is potentially a disaster as their other movies would have to compete with them in the theaters.
Theres no money feasible enough to exchange for that.

You're wrong. And you're a retard too. On every point of your posts, he's saying the opposite of what you say he's saying.
He says that he knows people want movies with a female lead (when you claim he thinks those movies would fail), and he's saying their current schedule for upcoming movies makes it impossible to slip one more movie with a female, which very clearly means he's only talking about movies Marvel, not Fox, can do.

Yeah, that's what I was saying. We can guess what movies there will be, and even if they made sequels to everything (and there's no guarantee they will) then there would still be at least two open slots to launch a new superhero franchise. And from what Feige is saying, they're decided to not go with a female superhero in either of those slots when they were planning things. Which is complete fucking bullshit.
Squirrel Girl is fantastic; sure her fanbase is a bit whack, but who gives a shit. Like, seriously, GLA: Misassembled is one of the greatest comics of the last decade, no joke.
But I don't really see how they could sustain her in a movie or a TV show for anything more than cameos or limited series. She's not meant to be subject to long term arcs or anything, she's a comedy character who only works best in small doses, when she intrudes on other people's narratives (and makes short work of their villains and pokes fun at all of their problems). Being the center of her own narrative would probably be a disaster.

Alright new page, time to talk about shit that actually matters:
Spoiler: GotG related stuff I guess(click to see content)
so here's what we know about the Infinity Gems Stones: the Tesseract is space, the Aether is reality, and the one in GotG is power. (http://www.examiner.com/article/james-gunn-discusses-the-infinity-gems-and-the-collector-s-display-pieces)
Makes sense. The GotG one certainly seemed like the most casually destructive one, and the Tesseract was used to warp space. But so did the Aether, I think? I don't wanna rewatch Thor 2 to check. It was behind all the portals in the finale, right? And it didn't really seem to display any characteristics of the Reality gem; it just seemed to be a generic source of power. Or something. I dunno!
EDIT: also, GotG did phenomenally well at the box office, breaking the record for highest grossing debut in August. (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=3885&p=.htm) The MCU brand is incredibly powerful now, there's really no limit to what they can sell now.

I don't understand. What two slots ? They have 6 movies already planned until 2019, that's 6 movies in 5 years. By two more slots, are you saying they should be able to do 8 movies in 5 years ? Or do you mean after that, 8 movies in 7 years ?
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: YO SOY GROOT
Post by: Jmorphman on August 04, 2014, 09:28:16 am
I mean there's at least two movies out of the known, unrevealed six that are definitely going to be launching new franchises. The other 4 are likely sequels.
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: YO SOY GROOT
Post by: DKDC on August 04, 2014, 09:34:09 am
But... All of those 6 movies (the 4 we can guess plus the last two) are already determined. And clearly, they don't include one with a female lead. That DOES mean that if they want to make a female led movie, they'd have to DROP one of those that are already planned (and everything that entails - the sequels to those movies replaced by sequels to the female-led movie, change the impact on the other crossover movies, etc.) So what he says is still true. They don't have an open slot at the moment because they're fully booked with what is already planned (those we can guess AND those we can't), and if they wanted to do a female-led movie, they'd have to drop for 4 years one of those that are planned. Just because we don't know which ones the last two are, doesn't mean they're not already part of the plan, and they don't have an opening for potential sequels, and ties to the other movies, which would have to be redone if they switched them for a different, female lead.

Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: YO SOY GROOT
Post by: DKDC on August 04, 2014, 09:55:23 am
Okay, so there's Ultron, there's a Cap 3 and a Thor 3 that are pretty obvious guesses, there's probably a GotG2 with the success of the first, then there's Ant-Man that probably SHOULD be out by 2019, and there's most likely a Doctor Strange. I don't know about switching any of these for a new one that has no precedent. Well, personally I would say Thor 3 is not needed unless they really have a huge story idea that reaches far through all the other movies (like GotG2), but that's because I personally don't really care for Thor. There's also Ant-Man I don't care for, he could have been introduced in either Avengers movie, but he has gathered quite a mythos around his movie, so it's not happening. As for Cap 3, after Winter Soldier, of course there's a Cap 3.
The fact is, there's just too many characters they could make stuff out of. The last "switchable" slot is Doctor Strange, so should a Miss Marvel movie come out before a Doctor Strange movie ? The movies that are planned simply reflect the comics, the female-led comics just aren't prominent compared to the movies that are planned. Personally, the best situation I could see is one of those movies foreshadowing (or straight-up introducing) a female superhero and lead that up to a movie. That didn't happen with Ant-Man in Ultron, though, but then again they didn't have any idea what to do with him because of the whole movie fiasco.
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: YO SOY GROOT
Post by: Jmorphman on August 04, 2014, 10:06:12 am
Doctor Strange is too far in development to even consider switching out, Thor 3 is still happening according to Hemsworth (and they have a dangling plot line of Loki posing as Odin, but honestly I'm just not looking forward to another Thor at all), Avengers 3 is a no-brainer, and Ant-Man and Strange likely already have sequels planned out (which would be scrapped if they flop), because that's just how the blockbuster business works now.
Their big guns are pretty much all deployed; they've got Black Panther and I guess Punisher, Blade, Ghost Rider, and Hulk left, in terms of big names, and I don't see them jumping on any of the last four any time soon. I'm not really sure what they could put in those last 2 shots, Black Panther is a fairly strong possibility, but who knows. I'm not sure what they have planned for the other one if they went with Panther. It just seems right to put in a Captain Marvel movie there, she's certainly getting a lot of exposure by Marvel (and good on them for doing that). But it certainly doesn't look like that's going to happen. :(
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: YO SOY GROOT
Post by: DKDC on August 04, 2014, 10:10:49 am
An Ant-Man 2 wouldn't be before 2019, and same for Avengers 3 I would think. GotG2 has a better chance of happening before them. I would see a Captain Marvel happen before Ant-Man 2 and Av 3, but after 2019. Like, those would be the 2020-2022 batch.
I'm also thinking about how Marvel is trying very hard to dig a hole for Fantastic Four for... whoever has them (Fox or Sony I never know), they want it back, so I would imagine they want to do something for them before 2025.
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: YO SOY GROOT
Post by: Jmorphman on August 04, 2014, 10:38:52 am
They've managed to get things running smoothly enough to have sequels out every 3 years, and sometimes even in as little as 2 (Iron Man 2 and Cap 3); the Ant-Man and Avengers sequels would probably be in 2018. Doctor Strange would either be 2018 (if things go very well and they can put it out in only 2 years) or 2019. GotG 2's date was confirmed to be sometime in 2017 (there was a specific date but I don't remember it).
Of all Marvel's lost properties, they seem to be most angry about FF, because there's just so much stuff Lee and Kirby introduced in that book that formed the spine of the Marvel universe, and Marvel Studios is really constrained by not having that stuff. Sony shares all the merchandise revenue with Marvel and it seems they're pretty cool with them, relatively speaking. And the X-Men stuff is so complicated in and of itself and isolated from the larger universe much of the time that I don't get the sense that Marvel has ever felt like it's missing a huge piece of their universe (or maybe it's just such a cash-cow that they can't basically disown the franchise like they are with FF). The disastrous-sounding FF reboot Fox is doing and the previous two they made versus their relatively good batting average with their X-Men movies might play a factor into it as well.

They're still curiously keeping from saying so, but it makes sense. They're probably keeping the reveal for Avengers 2, I guess, because Baron von Strucker is in possession of it.

Squirrel girl would be the perfect property for a teenager hero in lieu of spider-man.
I think if Marvel wanted a competitor to Spider-Man they'd just use Nova. He'd connect the GotG stuff to Earth, he was made explicitly to be a homage to Spider-Man, after all (he's even got the alliterative name!)
I just don't see them doing a full movie just about Squirrel Girl; Marvel hasn't overdone her yet, they've correctly realized that the reason she works is by invading other people's stories. She has to be standing in the sidelines to poke fun at everything, after all.
But if they went with either they wouldn't be teenagers, or just a teenager for one movie (much like both Spider-Man movie series); too much time passes between movies for any actor to keep playing teen for that long (with TV, since it's more frequent, the jumps in age are much more subtle than they would be in a movie).

Agreed, He's overdue. There was an issue where both he and Spiderman took on a rebuilt Tri-Sentinel (http://cc.pbsstatic.com/l/04/1104/9781991351104.jpg), up until that point I'd never even heard of it and it blew my mind.

For anyone keeping close tabs on the Avengers timeline, there's a discrepancy that actually really bothers me. Any clarification is appreciated.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
In regards to Iron Man 3 -- does that come before Avengers 2, or after? Given the ending, I can't imagine Stark being unfaithful to Pepper by yet again delving into robotics after that "clean slate" protocol, let alone by the fact this would cause him to don yet another suit to fight Ultron itself.

The movies occur in the order they premiere. As for your question, you should probably get used to characters having to relearn lessons they've already learned in comic book based properties. Especially Tony Stark.

He didn't promise Pepper that he'd never do any robotics again, did he? He destroyed all his own armors, but the premise of Avengers 2 seems to point to the Ultron thing being a way for Stark to contribute to saving the world without sticking his neck on the line, or something.
And he does say at the end of the film, quite literally, that he will always be Iron Man, no matter what.

They could make her blue or red or something (or even her original human skin tone), maybe lean more heavily on the Celestial Madonna powers or something!
I'd also like to see Phyla-Vell but jeez that backstory, I guess she could always just be a regular (pink) Kree or something, but if only they had a Captain Marvel movie in the works, ready to establish Mar-Vell as a legendary Kree hero or whatever (and then he dies to give Carol powers or whatever), and have Phyla run around as his daughter trying to live up to his legacy!

Watched the Star Wars x Indiana Jones crossover The story was really straightforward with little surprise, point-A-to-point-B stuff (where even Avengers still branched off between each character in their own direction), but it didn't need anything else, the on-the-spot fun was enough to build it all. The characters seemed very cliché before I saw it, but they each turned up very developed, very human, pretty cool. Groot so OP. A Nova movie would make so much sense, after showing all the Nova-related stuff. If they're going to keep building on the cosmic stuff for Guardians 2, and with this quote from the above article that "Thanos will show up if it helps or not at all if it doesn't help", an interaction between a Nova series and a Guardians series would be on the same level as the Earth-based groups that led to the Avengers. To make their own stuff in their corner of space. Hell, Nova could even further the ties between the Guardians side of the universe and the Avengers side.
Oh, also, I was thinking that it might not be that good to have all the movies cross over. I'm not sure I want to see the Guardians barge in Avengers 3 against Thanos, for example, if there's also going to be more new faces in the middle : it'll end up like the Expendables, where they share a name on the poster, but a bunch of them only show up for 12 seconds and one line of dialog. I don't think the Guardians need to team up with the Avengers. They already had a hard enough time making Avengers in the first place.

Very true. They were all pretty regular soldiers, so a Nova-centered movie would have to make a single Nova be human-sized in powers, to keep up with this rendition. I've always thought of Nova as an equivalent to Green Lantern anyway, it seems like they're supposed to have crazy powers, but they can easily be shown on the scale of a single human, not taking on warships or moons on their own. ... Basically, show a Nova in the same way the Guardians and Yondu were portrayed. ... I guess that all of a sudden, a lot of the interest would vanish... On the other hand, if they can say that the battle ships we saw and the formation they used was actually the Nova Force used in stead of technology, it would jump the relevance to impressive levels. Like, we thought what they did was technology and it was pretty basic, but it was actually the Nova Force at work, that would be a bit cool, and it would give enough margin to go for a Nova movie and keep cool powers.

I figured they'd take a bunch of cues from Annihilation and have the main Nova of the movies the last one, who has all the power of the Nova corps in a prototype suit or something (I was assuming the Nova Force was the power behind their ships, and that they hadn't miniaturized that technology yet). And have it all mostly be on Earth so you get do the teenage hero thing like Spider-Man (because, after all, Nova was created to be another Spider-Man type hero) but have a bridge between cosmic and Earth stuff. IDK how an Earth teenager would end up with the most advanced weapon in the universe, but I ain't no scriptwriter!
But yeah, that all seems like it would be best done later, after Avengers 3 or something. There's no room for it! Not if they can't fit in one fucking female led movie >:[

four likely candidates

so we have
STARFOX: or eros, the pelvic dance master, a real asshole. He is Thanos brother, they are both Eternals.
STARHAWK: also an asshole, he and yondu were a team in the comics, Hawk has wings and looks like an angel.
ADAM WARLOCK: he is connected ot the gems
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
and his cocoon was burst open on that movie credit scene.
He and Thanos are rival/friends, frenemies.
CAPTAIN MAR VELL, he has the negabands and is a legendary kree captain that in the comics betrays the kree for the sake of earth after falling in love with earth, he dies of cancer caused by his negaband powered artifacts.
One hinted by gunn and spoilerish

Two points I thought were of interest are, the fact that Yondu called the father an asshole (plus it seems like they know where he is right now since they still discuss bringing Peter to him), and then the fact that the Xandarians didn't recognize where the non-human part of Peter was from.
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: YO SOY GROOT
Post by: Iced on August 13, 2014, 02:05:59 pm
Most of my examples actually DO fit in that description.
Mar Vell is a kree so he doesnt. Starfox and Thanos are eternals, a race that was manufactured by the celestials ( they interfered with most races developments and are the "reason" why most races are humanoid )
Starfox is a really huge womanizing asshole.
Star hawk origin was also all mystical in nature.
Adam is a god prototype created by religious fanatics with ADN manipulation.
My last one is supposed to hail from an alternate dimension which would make him unrecognizable.
the movie kindof tricked me into thinking yondu was the dad at first, because he started describing himself as an angel at one point.

I think, of all those possibilities, Starfox is the only one that really makes sense. They need to explain who Thanos is and where he came from in time for Avengers 3, and tying him into Star-Lord makes a great deal of sense. The others, not so much. Sure, Mar-Vell could always be made into some other species, but why bother? What would they do that requires Mar-Vell? Better to save him for later, no? Starhawk is the same way, except, ehhhhhh who cares about Starhawk. Adam Warlock seems like a totally different thing and I don't imagine Yondu was talking about bringing Star-Lord to meet a big cocoon inside Space Liberace's Space Zoo. And there's the whole "ancient DNA" thing, which doesn't really fit Warlock; of course, that could always be changed, and I actually think his origin will be significantly changed to be less complicated (I imagine him to be perhaps an avatar of the Soul gem, or at least it's guardian for centuries, or something)

I think a big crossover of Guardians and Avengers would be a good idea. But it shouldn't be 1 movie. I think they could make either a trilogy out of Thanos. Or make a few different movies that are taking place at the same time as each other. Stuff happening on Earth and in space.
Think of the battle against Thanos as one of those big multi comic cross overs. I would hope they don't just have 1 movie to deal with him and the infinity gauntlet and be done with it. This has been building up since the start of the MCU. It should be bigger than Avengers.

I'd see that work. Thanos is doing stuff on Earth and in space, and the Avengers take care of what happens on Earth while the Guardians are out in space, and both maybe catch a glimpse of the others, without necessarily understanding what's going on, but both events being relevant to the same issue as a whole. It couldn't be the big final though, since one of the movies would have to come out after the other. IMO there's still going to be only one side of the universe that gets to deal the finishing blow to Thanos, so what the other team gets can't be the second knives of the big final. I'd give the final honor to the Guardians myself (or Nova or whatever), although an intervention from the likes of Odin can work (that is, if he's still available and not replaced by Loki of course).

Post by: Jmorphman on August 13, 2014, 10:16:51 pm
Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet is probably only going to be one movie, and that's Avengers 3. The realities of movie development and release dates means that it pretty much has to be confined to a single movie. Avengers 3 will be sometime in 2018, after 10 years of the MCU; it's the grand finale of everything. It's almost certainly going to be the swan song for RDJ, and probably will be the same for the rest of the original Avengers. Whether they all get recast right away or put on a shelf for a bit is another story (and if that shelf lasts long enough before Warner Bros and Sony crash the super hero movie market is an entirely separate story as well), but I don't see most of them signing on for another 10 years. Marvel's already trying to push new franchises to take over their current stable, after all.
As for GotG and Avengers teaming up, I could see Guardians of the Galaxy 2 ending with Thanos heading to Earth with said Gauntlet. Pretty much every hero would get in on the action, even the Guardians, although not in substantial roles, more cameos, I guess.
At least, that's how I picture it all!

That just drives home that Avengers 3 is where this needs to go down, and that it'd be a good idea to give a little backstory on Thanos at some point prior. Even if we ignore the superhero movie bubble possibly bursting, I just don't think it's feasible to keep stringing along an enemy set up in 2012.

Speaking of the Thanos issue, so far we've seen, what, three or four gems and the Tesseract, and all of them were stored away. So what, we're going to see a massive break-in simultaneously as the introduction to Avengers 3 ? It seems a bit weird IMO.
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: YO SOY GROOT

They definitely need to make him do something threatening on screen, because he hasn't actually done anything besides sit, smirk, and in his two appearances he's been betrayed, and either lost two gems, or worse, he had one already, but gave it away to get another, and ended up losing both, and just now lost another one (depends on whether Loki's staff was an Infinity gem/stone).
Marvel needs to step it up in his next appearance if they want him to be their final boss.
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: YO SOY GROOT
Post by: DKDC on August 14, 2014, 12:38:33 am
Oh, I'm not so much worried about him looking like a fool losing the stones one after the other, if they show well enough that he doesn't give a shit because he's -- how old is he supposed to be ? Centuries or something like that, I assume ? So he wouldn't care if a stone gets stored away for a while, all that matters is that he finds out where they are, and he'll do something when the time comes. Well, I guess it would be fine to go with a "massive simultaneous break-in" if they emphasize that aspect, one day he just stands up and says "okay, I've decided it would be today, let's wrap it up before tea time, folks" and he blows up everything and takes them one by one, because he goddamn can. And have that triggered by something related to his pursue of Death. I suppose it could be at the end of Guardians 2, if G2 shows the last stone, it ends up saved, but then Thanos shows up and says "this is mine now, kthxbye". Cue Avengers 3 lead-in.
After all, he's not some James Bond villain, going "don't disappoint me" and wanting things done in five seconds, then getting pissed that his plans failed. He almost seemed unphased when Ronan betrayed him (back when he teased him on the piece of rock, and then on the hologram, though that lasted like 10 seconds), just a bit annoyed at the betrayal itself more than how much of a setback it was. We saw his face for like 2 seconds before Ronan turned it off, but it felt to me like he was just going "here we go again".

A super hero movie all from the perspective of the villain.
The whole movie is him breaking through shit and retrieving the gems, as Adam Warlock ( im sorry surfer but your continuity is in another castle) is in a mad race to stop him.

I thought Guardians 2 was coming out after A3? Or was it after A2? Either way, they have like 3-4 years to unveil Thanos' origin and have him take all the gems, and I don't think it would've happened in Guardians 2.
However, there IS a Dr. Strange movie coming out and I think that's their best bet, though that might end up toning down the amount of time they could spend on Strange himself along with whomever will be the villain of that movie (I'd assume Mephisto/Dormammu)

Lets not forget that the Avengers are still a thing, and they, including Strange, will stay on Earth, Strange probably showing us alternate dimensions with Dormammu. For the gems, we've had a few on Earth with the Chitauri invasion, and then Thor in the other realms, I don't think Strange needs to show anything from space for us to see more.

But not all of them have been shown and I don't think it would be in Marvel's best interests to have Thanos gather them all (along with the Gauntlet) off-screen. Then again a lot of the artifacts are in Asgard IIRC so it could be done in a Thor movie too

step 1: AIM is trying to create a super soldier of the twenty first century
step 2: AIM main guy announces that they are not beasts that rely on force, that there are more important stuff in a super soldier
step 3: repeat the some experiences similar to the super serum from the first movie but applied to aim leader, instead of the body the vita rays and all the rest are applied to his head.
step 4 he steps out of the chamber with a larger craniun, his inteligence is massive etc
then as the movie progresses have cuts of him and everytime he has gotten a slighty larger head his body starts shriveling as his head is becoming more and more massive
he finally has to sit on the modok throne, with a head support for his now monstruous head, tubes and circuitry are added to his body and head.
The super soldier of the twenty first century is all brains and no brawn. Modok, mental organism designed only for Killing.

Honestly I don't think they should use MODOK in the third Cap at all; they should be bringing back Red Skull (hopefully with a new actor who gives a shit) and Zola. Crossbones is definitely coming back, at least, and I don't want MODOK to be a minor threat who gets crowded out by the other villains! Put MODOK in the War Machine movie or something, AIM is Iron Man connected anyways.

Hugo Weaving was soooo good at it, though. I'm hoping by the time Cap 3 starts filming he'll either have done some "serious" work and gotten it out of his system or he'll have done so little work he needs the money or exposure

Oh stop it J, you know what I mean, Hugo Weaving didn't bring his 'A-Game' and you know it.
Nothing about him screams big bad. I want my Red to ooz evil on screen, I want him to say things that make my skin crawl, that was the a typical "Mwahaha" villain. Red Skull is the most evil character in the marvel universe, he's the one villain other villains in the MCU that gives them the chills.
Now think of 'The Jew Hunter' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUZv6bn7Hwg) in Inglourious Basterds.

They really do need to have Thanos start getting the gems but i seem to recall The Collector having one, honestly i figure his entire purpose in the cinematic universe was to collect them for Thanos behind the scenes. Thanos is a master stroke type villain so it could end up that all of this was planned, even his seemingly blundered plans.

Spoiler: Guardians spoiler, in response to the above(click to see content)
In the Guardians he doesn't seem to care much when the stone is taken away (or less than his entire collection being blown up), so he probably wasn't gathering them for Thanos. Plus, Drax is the one who called out Ronan, if the Collector was working for Thanos they'd probably warn each other.

At the end of the day the question remains, why does Marvel hate women and refuses to do merch for them?

True. Starting to piss me off, Thanos is my favorite Marvel villain of all time. I don't want to admit it but he is beginning to look like an ass in the cinematic universe. I haven't been this upset since Diet Drax Yamcha'd him, a la Dr Gero hand through the chest.

Apparently the source of all this was Diamond replacing the minimates series Nebula and Gamora with Yondu, with the former only being available at specialty shops. Which is... odd.
The other uproar seemed to be more focused on clothing, I think. Like there was a shirt or mug or something that weirdly left out Gamora from the GotG lineup and had multiple versions of the other characters to fill in, which is again, pretty weird!

OK, so looking back on the full version of that interview with the Captain America screenwriters, it really sounds like all that not being able to do MODOK stuff was in reference to Cap 2, (http://www.sfx.co.uk/2014/08/13/exclusive-marvel-screenwriters-talk-winter-soldier-and-captain-america-3/) because adding him in would require major restructuring the way that say, Zola didn't. So hey, maybe MODOK's not off the table!
But then again, that whole "Cap 3 is an amalgam of 1 and 2" makes me think present day spy thriller with flashbacks to WWII, and wouldn't it be nice if Cap could face a villain in the past while dealing with their descendant(s) in the future? Perhaps some sort of perpetually masked German scientist? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baron_Zemo)

Captain Marvel ? The guy one, then, after what they said last time ? At least that would give an opening for a woman-led movie as a sequel. If Thanos is the big bad of Avengers 3, I could see a Captain Marvel movie in space with the Guardians ending up on Earth and then connecting into Avengers 3 with Carol. It wouldn't feel as bloated as the whole Guardians team crossing over.

Oh, hadn't clicked on the link yet. Eh, if it's just him saying they're "Absolutely Characters He Would Like To Give Solo Films", then it's not the same as saying they already got the okay. But if Captain Marvel isn't already decided as the next movie in space, he can still show up in the same way I described in a Nova film instead with the same result :P (also it would feel a bit less of a "woman inheriting a man's mantle" sequel if the male Mar Vell isn't the star of his movie)

This time was different from the last time, the hints were much stronger; it almost seemed like he was right on the verge of announcing them. He also said this:
Kevin Feige said:
But in this particular case, I think [the fan movement towards the Marvel movies having more diverse heroes] is a groundswell. And I think it does…I think it means something substantial.”
so, who knows.

And Iron Man only really has Mandarin. It's really, really not an issue.
They're not limited to just mainstay villains, I would imagine a Captain Marvel movie would basically just focus on the Kree, Black Panther definitely Klaw. After that, why not use some unaffiliated villains? MODOK, Madame Hydra (I have to imagine she's in the same boat as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch), maybe even Monica Rappaccini if you still wanna use AIM but not MODOK, and hell why not Marcus or something, that'd be hilarious (in that you would have Carol beating the shit out of that stupid, stupid storyline, metaphorically). Same thing with Panther, Marvel's got a bunch of villains that aren't super strongly attached to any one hero, why not put them to work?

Marvel's big gamble continues to deliver. Guardians of the Galaxy moved back into the #1 spot at the U.S. box office this weekend, having finished the last two weekends in second place to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Guardians of the Galaxy pulled in an estimated $17.6-million this weekend (to TMNT's $16.8-million), bringing its total U.S. gross to an estimated $251.88-million. In doing so, GotG has become the highest grossing summer movie of 2014, and the third-highest grossing film of the year; still in its sights are The Lego Movie (currently in the #2 position for 2014, with a total gross of $257.75-million) and frontrunner Captain America: The Winter Soldier (which closed this weekend at $259.77-million).

The head of Netflix talks about the 5 upcoming Marvel series.

Also, Jack Huston is being rumored for Doctor Strange (http://screenrant.com/doctor-strange-movie-casting-jack-huston/), which is... what? No. C'mon. He's so goddamn young! And he's British, they keep stealing our superhero roles! And half his face is shot off and he has to wear a tin mask to cover it!

I'm being told that Jack Huston does not in fact have to wear a tin mask shaped like the left side of his face to cover up his war injuries, but that was in fact something his character on Boardwalk Empire did.

Wesley Snipes might be doing another Blade movie? (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/08/31/rumors-of-wesley-snipes-returning-as-blade/)
I'm putting this here, because Marvel has gotten back the film rights to Blade, and thus, any Blade sequel would have to be done by them. Since the previous Blade movies were done by New Line, they might not be able to use anything from those movies, besides Blade himself. But jeez, is there anything left that anyone would want to come back? Ryan Reynolds's shitty rendition of Hannibal King? Abigail Whistler and her vampire killing iPod playlist? No thanks! If Marvel wanted to make it part of the MCU, they could always do it like Incredible Hulk and have the previous movies sort of vaguely happen (and hopefully everything from Blade Trinity besides Parker Posey gets erased) and have him run around in the backround, killing vampires (and maybe other critters?)
As long as Snipes is actually interested in playing the character, and not just sitting there refusing to act and having most of his role be played by his stand-in (http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/patton-oswalt-has-some-pretty-awesome-wesley-snipes-stories-from-blade-trinity-20121119), I think it could be pretty cool.

Right, that's why Expendables was had a disastrous filming and garnered major negative attention, all because of Wesley Snipes. :megaeyes: Stan Lee might've accidentally let slip that Black Panther is in development. (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/09/01/did-stan-lee-let-the-black-panther-out-of-the-bag/) Not exactly a surprise at this point, given his importance to the Marvel universe at large, (and there are rumors of Wakanda being mentioned in Avengers 2), but also as Marvel's most prominent black hero... that they have the film rights too. Storm is probably still a bigger deal than Black Panther, right?

Snipes has had as big, if not bigger, an impact on Blade than RDJ has on Iron Man. It's already been proven that nobody's really interested in a Blade TV show, so if he's not involved they're not going to do a lot with the property.

I thought it might have shifted a bit (at least from a mainstream perspective) since Storm has been so marginalized in the movies and Black Panther had that cartoon and it's only been recently that Storm's been given an ongoing. But even with her slight presence in the movies its more exposure than Panther, I guess.
I wouldn't mind snipes back as blade. I mean can you blame him for not wanting to be in half of blade trinity? that movie was shit.
Words can't describe how shitty it was, but it might've been improved slightly if Snipes gave a shit. I mean, Parker Posey at least made her scenes amazing, Snipes might've been able to do the same for his, maybe.

While Snipes did a excellent job in the first Blade and the second one was decent, he's too old if they are going to do anything but a one off. I love Michael Jai White and while he is a little younger than snipes (46) he doesnt fit the role enough in my mind but i would accept him and we could do a lot worse. In a perfect world i would be able to put what Wesley Snipes did in the first Blade into Marrese Crump.

ok, but for real, I've only seen Donald Glover in comedic stuff, and I'm not sure how good he'd be as a super serious, brooding vampire slayer.
I think he means Donald Glover the rap star/Actor on 30 rock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Glover) However, the Danny Glover you're thinking about would make a great T'Chaka, his voice alone makes him perfect for the roll. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEnqzPIyxlU)
See J? Panther deserves a fresh start without the past garbage casting Snipes would bring........ Snipes is 'to old for this $hit' ::)

... I don't even know where to begin with that, Jesus Christ. I guess I'll go point-by-point:
- I know who Donal Glover is. I talk about him in the same goddamn post you're quoting, directly after making a Danny Glover joke. holy fucking shit what is wrong with you
- Snipes did fine in Expendables 3. There was no major outcry that he was cast in the film, and his presence didn't cause it to flop (the movie did however do fairly poorly at the box office, however not because of Snipes, but because it was leaked online weeks in advance of its release at the box office)
- Snipes isn't doing Black Panther, he was rumored to reprise his role of Blade, the character he almost single-handedly took from being a relatively obscure Tomb of Dracula character to a widely successful character supporting a trilogy of movies. If he wants to do another Blade movie, and actually acts in it? I don't really see the problem.

Blade is not exactly a deep character. None of his movies are anything other than dumb action films, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, provided that the movie is good. And the first two Blade movies succeeded at exactly that.

There is no such animal.

Edit:
Ok-ok I'll admit, "dumb action films" have their place, they are a 'guilty pleasure' for me at times, but dammit I know Blade is more then that, if they can make a guy that tells a story while waiting for a bus or a guy who dresses in black rubber to beat up a clown Oscar worthy, we can do better then Wesley Snipes.

I would never in a million years call Michael Bay's movies dumb action films (well, a few, but not really anything post-Armageddon), because you still need a brain to be dumb. And a heart, a soul, wit, the ability to shoot action scenes, and the wisdom to not put racist robots in your movie, and...
"Dumb" might sound overly pejorative, but I'm not sure what a better term would be. Not all movies should be about exploring deep themes or feature elaborate character studies, some movie should just go nuts and have fun; variety is the spice of life, after all. And of course some movies do a little of both, like most of the Marvel movies, for instance; but they can never go as deep as a purely cerebral one, because they've still got explosions and shit to do! I can't really say Blade has tried to do the latter, whether it be in comics or film, unless... I will now attempt a redemptive reading of the Blade films and try to discern some deeper meaning from them: Blade: a working class black man fights against the white, entrenched power structure of the upper class who parasitically feed off on the 99%; Blade faces off against both old and new money, finding them both lacking and equally as despicable. Thus, he injects their crazy blood god thing with this serum that makes blood explode and then he says "Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice-skate uphill", reflecting the futility of their self destructive behavior in the long run.
Blade II: builds on the themes of the first one by providing an opportunity for Blade to unite with the elite against a common enemy; however, he knows they are not to be trusted and sure enough, they betray him, confirming that tearing down the establishment is the only way to achieve material social progress.
Blade Trinity: Blade teams up with Van Wilder and iPod Lady to fight shitty, boring Dracula. Also, Patton Oswalt is there. well that was a fun diversion from all this stupidity, I guess! Pretty much the only reason why I replied, to be honest.

:uhoh: I'm glad you're joking about that....I mean WTF.
Ultimately, Blade is a horror/thriller franchise, 'Vampires control everything in the shadows' is just the setting. They need to get back to it, fight scenes are suppose to be story driven, not the other way around.

On the other hand it looks like they've done a lot with the character. They renewed him at a time where no one cared for him anymore in the comics (beside Civil War), and maybe they still don't have that many ideas of what to do. There's the "real Mandarin" that was expected at some point with the King one-shot, but they haven't said a word about it since then. Hell, even Cap still has more to do than Iron Man : Cap 1 had him find his place during the war, Avengers had him lost on what to do and find himself as a de facto leader but without the confidence (he dives in the fight but I never really felt that he imposed his presence as a leader with all the other selfish assholes in the team), Cap 2 shows him he still has a role he can return to, and now we can get him back to how he is in the comics, serious about his symbol and his role. Stark did kind of finish his entire character arc with IM3, and Ultron was clearly his way to still be there without being there (and it fails). Unless they give him some "renewed faith in his superhero mission" after he gave it up in IM3, I don't see where else he could go beside still helping around for Avengers 3. And Doctor Strange should take his spot anyway.

Marvel will bring back Iron Man eventually, but RDJ's time is almost over. He'll have played the role in 6 movies (and 1 cameo), over 10 years; that's a pretty hefty amount! And the rumors going on right now are that Marvel is going to try and push the new people in the phase 3 movies as the new headliners of the Marvel movies, as they slowly phase out everyone from the first phase. Recasting will happen eventually, like the Bond movies, but they may wait a few years to let RDJ, Evans, et. al. fade from the public's memory before starting up those franchises again. There's gonna be big Cap 3 news today, apparently (but it hasn't been announced yet). It might just be the subtitle, but said subtitle is something Feige has been fixated on "probably for ten years", (http://www.craveonline.com/film/interviews/756911-russo-brothers-captain-america-2-captain-america-3) and sounds like it will be instantly recognizable to fans and will form a core part of the Marvel movies going forward. I have no idea what it could be!
lol glad you got so worked up about basic literary criticism (albeit a mostly BS'd one)
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Ants in your pants edition
Post by: Jmorphman on September 09, 2014, 11:06:49 pm
OK, no Cap 3 news, but this might end up being more significant: Dave Bautista's contract is getting restructured (so he's locked in for more movies, and will be paid more) (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=107345), and more importantly, is said to have "a significant role in Avengers 3".
Which has to mean a GotG/Avengers crossover, right? And that pretty much has to mean Infinity Gauntlet, right? I was getting worried, because Marvel had been dropping hints that they wouldn't pull that string for a good long while after Avengers 3, and I guess just have Thanos sit around on his space chair for 10 years before he actually does anything. But this hopefully means they'll do a big climax for Avengers 3, which will likely be the final send-offs of most of the original Marvel cast (certainly RDJ, and very likely Evans and Hemsworth).

Steven S. DeKnight talks Daredevil (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=107514)
Quote
With this version of Daredevil, we wanted it to be grounded, gritty, as realistic as we could portray. That naturally fits in with the Daredevil character. Matt Murdock, on a regular basis, would get the shit beat out of him. That’s one thing that makes him a great character. He’s not super strong. He’s not invulnerable. In every aspect, he’s a man that’s just pushed himself to the limits, he just has senses that are better than a normal humans. He is human. The other thing that really drew me to this character is that he’s one of the most morally grey of the heroes. [...] On Daredevil we have a phenomenal cinematographer, Matt Lloyd. He was just nominated for an Emmy for Fargo. His work is just gorgeous, so usually I have nothing to say but, "That looks fantastic!'
My anticipation for these Netflix shows are really shooting up high!!!

A day or so before the talks broke down, there was a rumor that Ethan Hawke was being considered, but that has since been debunked. Which is a shame, because he's a lot more appealing than pretty much every other person who's been rumored, besides Phoenix. Just say no to Cumberbatch as Strange!

Well, I at least had fun trying to think of everyone who's appeared in both the shows and the movies! But yeah, Sif is probably gonna be the biggest super-individual from the movies to appear in Agents of SHIELD for the foreseeable future. And that's totally fine! I'd love to see the the Warriors Three and the Leader show up too; they wouldn't stretch the budget too much and their actors wouldn't break the budget and/or aren't in a contract that specifies a certain number of movie and TV appearances, and also they'd just be neat to see more of. Wasting one of the contractual appearances of the big time names (RDJ, Chris Evans, et. al.) on an episode of TV just doesn't make any goddamn sense, unless of course you have no idea about that stuff and just blather on and complain about shit you have not the slightest understanding of. So this headline was going around the internet a lot a few days ago: Robert Downey Jr. wants Mel Gibson to direct Iron Man 4 (http://thedissolve.com/news/3485-robert-downey-jr-wants-mel-gibson-to-direct-iron-m/), except, no, that's not really accurate. For one thing, it's not a super serious answer, and it ignores everything else about that interview, which has a long stretch in which RDJ describes how he's getting to be too old to be an action star. He had a good run, I don't think he needs to continue on after Avengers 2 and 3
except, wait, about Avengers 3... it might be missing most of the cast of first two Avengers. (http://badassdigest.com/2014/10/05/your-favorite-avengers-may-not-be-in-avengers-3/) RDJ, Chrises Evans and Hemsworth, Scarlet Johansson (and I think Jeremy Renner) all have one or two movies left in their contract, after Avengers 2, and there is now a rumor out there that Marvel will be choose another movie for everyone's last appearances as those characters, with Avengers 3 having newer characters from Avengers 2 and the Phase 3 films. What that other movie could be is anyone's guess, but it's gotta be Infinity Gauntlet, right? C'mon Marvel, seriously, don't drag this out forever!

IDK who that could be. The article suggests Milla Donovan, Matt Murdock's once erstwhile wife, but I'm not so sure they'd introduce her so soon. The role doesn't sound much like Karen Page either, and I doubt it's Elektra. I dunno!

It's Variety, if they're reporting it it's very likely true. It's not like it's some two-bit unknown blog, it's a major entertainment magazine... and you know. it's an exclusive. That probably explains why it's not anywhere else.
but uh yeah I can't say this sounds especially promising; Civil War was a fucking awful storyline, and adding RDJ to Cap 3 will necessarily detract the focus away from Captain America and that's not really optimal for a solo movie. I don't think Winter Soldier would've been improved at all if Iron Man was flying around there too. And this means it's pretty unlikely the Thanos storyline is going to be wrapped up anytime soon (Avengers 3 will likely be full on Civil War, with Cap dying, maybe?), and that's a very big danger, I think. Thanos can't sit around on a space chair doing nothing for 10 years, you have to eventually jump on this Infinity Gauntlet storyline.
hopefully this all turns out well, because the same creative team as Winter Soldier is still there, but still! :-\

If there's a benefit it's that motivations that don't make sense would actually be questioned. Could you imagine RDJ flipping a page and going, "Wait, why do I build this prison again? Why is there a robot Thor?"
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Ants in your pants edition
Post by: Neocide on October 14, 2014, 05:35:01 am
lol. I doubt either of those happen. RDJ is way too charismatic to be turned into the asshole tony was in the actual event. I think it's going to be more "Civil" then the actual one. Because they have to do a better job of people wanting to pick sides. The comic became completely one sided, no one wanted to pick tony's side because of how big of an ass he was.
AVX had the same problem (although it felt more one sided with the avengers being bullies)

The deal is significant for the Marvel cinematic universe considering the plot will pit Stark against Captain America’s alter-ego Steve Rogers, played by Chris Evans, as they feud over the Superhero Registration Act, which forces anyone with superhuman abilities to reveal their identities to the U.S. government and agree to act as a police force for the authorities.
Variety (http://variety.com/gallery/who-will-play-marvels-doctor-strange/) reports that McGregor is just one of six actors in the mix for the role of Doctor Strange with the other five being Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey, Jake Gyllenhaal, Episode VII's Oscar Isaac, and past rumored contenders Ethan Hawke and Oscar winner Jared Leto.
HEAVY HITTERS.

McConaughey is a pretty bizarre choice for Strange, but he could knock it out of the park, maybe? Isaac* and Gyllenhaal seem like great picks, but they're so young! I want an older Strange!!! I still really think Leto would be a bad choice, and Hawke a great one. But McGregor might be my favorite non-Phoenix pick so far!
*way to bury the lead there IGN, you should've said "Inside Lleweyn Davis's Oscar Isaac", not Episode VII's Oscar Isaac, cause he plays an asshole who lives in Greenwich Village, just like the good Doctor!!!

Oh right forgot to post this, some rumors about Cap 3 and future Avengers movies (http://badassdigest.com/2014/10/13/robert-downey-jr-bringing-civil-war-to-captain-america-3/).
The basic jist is that Cap 3 will be a mini-Avengers movie, with the plot being sorta based on Civil War, but the title will be "Fallen Son", which will lead to Chris Evans sitting out Avengers 3, which will leave Earth's heroes scattered and unprepared for Thanos (this will be either Avengers 4 or its own, universe-wide crossover movie). The directors of Cap 2 and 3, the Russo brothers, are also apparently in talks to direct Avengers 3 and 4. Whole lot of rumors, no one knows if they've got any truth to them, but it's interesting to think about!

Well, look, Civil War was handled pretty terribly, but there's the premise itself is pretty good; although... the whole Super-Human Reregistration Act is paradoxically something that would absolutely be needed, realistically, in a world where people have superpowers, but the entire narrative weight of superhero comics makes it so such a thing is bad, because that's just how superhero comics are structured. But uh yeah, the Cap 2 writers will definitely be able to get a handle on it and make it make sense in the MCU, I think.

Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Ants in your pants edition
Post by: DKDC on October 15, 2014, 11:10:53 pm
There's also the matter that such an act makes no sense when there's very few superheroes out there and the public barely knows about them. ... Unless Avengers 2 with the Magneto siblings is going to bring that up and reveal many more "gifted" before Cap 3. Agents of SHIELD could also very easily tie into that, we've got one "gifted" supervillain in the first couple of episodes of season 2, they can push that. Especially if it gives more supervillains than superheroes, a registration act would seem reasonable. The act became bogus from the premise of having the X-Men around and guys like Spiderman, it was insanely dangerous for them and such a bitch move against those known and beloved superheroes... And look, those very same guys aren't around in the MCU, what a coincidence. ... I'd imagine it might depend on what Ant-Man is going to show us about superpowers in the movies ?
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Ants in your pants edition
Post by: Jmorphman on October 15, 2014, 11:41:39 pm
I had a theory/idea that Tony Stark would not be behind a SRA-type deal but something like HAMMER (maybe even using that name), a SHIELD replacement (Agents of SHIELD is still fairly small) that goes above and beyond what SHIELD used to do; cataloging superpowered people, collecting dangerous tech, but also maybe using a modified version of Zola's algorithm to keep watch over and predict future criminals and stuff. Basically somewhere between Fury's SHIELD and Alexander Pierce's HYDRA-SHIELD, playing into Iron Man's control freak tendencies and really upsetting Captain America (and also maybe there's a conflict over Bucky, who did, after all, murder Iron Man's father, maybe Iron Man wants Bucky killed and Cap thinks he can be redeemed or something).
But yeah, there's just not enough superpowered heroes or villains out there for this to work, and no secret identities either. It just can't be a straight adaptation, so it has to be something else.
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Ants in your pants edition
Post by: Neocide on October 15, 2014, 11:51:37 pm
I don't think it's going to be about registration. It'll probably be about ideals with tony and steve playing the roles for each side. Makes sense. the registration thing to me still feels more X-men-y including having it be part of the original X-men film too. And yea the whole limited super hero roster makes it a little less hard to do.
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Ants in your pants edition
Post by: 【ＭＦＧ】gui0007 on October 16, 2014, 02:48:50 am
For me, Cap 3 will address the differences between Rogers and Tony, like ideals and mainly because of the consequences after Avengers 2, and maybe this is could be a strong bond to Avengers 3, with Cap forming a "New Avengers team", but not a "Civil War thing". It's not the right time for doing a Civil War arc in MCU, just because some heroes not showed yet.
Maybe in Iron Man 4 (if happend), Stark reflect about the fail of the Ultron project and about yourself.
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Ants in your pants edition
Post by: Jmorphman on October 18, 2014, 10:20:21 pm
Well, Winter Soldier the movie was pretty dissimilar to Winter Solider the arc (besides the Bucky stuff, but even that was more broad strokes), and Avengers: Age of Ultron shares nothing with the comic Age of Ultron besides the title and the villain being Ultron. A Civil War movie would likewise not be especially close to the comic. Adam McKay talks Ant-Man script changes (http://collider.com/ant-man-script-changes-adam-mckay-paul-rudd/); he talks about how he was hesitant to step in because Edgar Wright is a friend of his, that he and Paul Rudd worked on the rewrite together, that he feels like Wright's script is all still there and they just enhanced some stuff, and that among the additions were some more action beats. Basically, the script was made more streamlined, "more aggressive", and a little bigger. Hopefully it will all turn out well.
Colin Farrell is now being rumored for Doctor Strange, as is Keanu Reeves maybe? (http://www.thewrap.com/doctor-strange-update-colin-farrell-enters-the-mix-but-dont-count-out-benedict-or-joaquin-exclusive/)
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Ants in your pants edition
Post by: QuickFist on October 18, 2014, 10:31:20 pm
And now Farrell? Hawke still looks as the best choice. And you're right, they may take some elements from Civil War and not make it the Civil War we know from the comics, and it may turn out well.
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Ants in your pants edition
Post by: Speedpreacher on October 18, 2014, 10:47:12 pm
I like Colin Farrell more than some of the other choices on the list, but yeah, Ethan Hawke's still my number one choice now that Joaquin Phoenix is officially out of the running. I suspect it'll end up being Cumberbatch though, which just bores me to tears.
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Ants in your pants edition
Post by: Bastard Thedge on October 19, 2014, 10:02:47 pm
I can't agree more with you, Phoenix was my favorite choice, since he is gone Hawke is the number one and Farrell being a not bad at all choice. And coing back to Civil War, it's premise always sound great, for what they 've been doing with the movies they could make a magnificent arc on its own.

Lots of people seem angry at Stark here. If he's got some responsibility in Ultron and doesn't completely feel sorry about it, and along with him picking up the pieces of SHIELD and depending on what he does with it, I could see this lead into a "Civil War" completely different from the comics but still a Stark vs Cap ideology battle (of course I doubt they'll completely make RDJ into a bad guy, he'll really need a seriously strong point of view to make it work if he persists after Avengers 2).

The Avengers alone are more effective than ground troops; they were essentially SHIELD's ground troops there, and they were eventually going to fail, and couldn't keep the invasion contained. That's the whole reason they sent that nuke, and if not for the Avengers redirecting it, all it would've done was destroy the city (presumably the portal was self-sustaining by then, and the nuke would wipe out any way of closing it).
Marvel put out the trailer officially. Poor Agents of SHIELD, just can't catch a break.

I have a theory about what's going on with Bruce Banner in the trailer.
When we see him, he looks pretty bad, all curled up in the fetal position and the way Hulk looked is just terrible. I don't mean CG wise, cause it looks great. But Hulk looks pretty sick, eyes all bloodshot and darkened veins just covering his body.
Ultron might have slipped something to Bruce, causing him to gain a drug addiction. And we all know what happens when people with drug addictions don't get their fix, most of the time they get severely pissed off and lash out at anything until they get their fix.
That could be why Tony had to bring out the Hulk Buster, Hulk is going through a serious withdrawal and Tony had to stop him from wreaking the city.
And I don't think Bruce himself used suppressants to stop the Hulk from reappearing, since we saw at the climax in The Avengers that Bruce had control over his anger.
What do you guys think?
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Age of Ultron trailer is out!!!

Why would they shoot Hulk into space, and I mean in the MCU not the comics? From what we saw in the last Avengers movie, he's now able to control his anger and he helped save the planet. Sure they'll be cautious around him, but he hasn't done enough to warrant getting shot into space. I mean yes he caused some destruction in The Incredible Hulk and The Avengers, but most of it was collateral damage from fighting General Ross' men, The Abomination and the Chitauri.
Or I don't know what the hell I'm talking about and I'm sure you guys will correct me if I'm wrong.

... Or maybe something will happen, maybe I don't know it'll be an accident or Banner himself will say they need to do so and so or Hulk becomes bad enough that they have to do that or whatever else anyone can think of to write something like that into the story also the drug & withdrawal rage idea is dumb. Banner having a crisis is not something new, maybe something goes down the shitter and Banner loses control one way or another (by circumstances or by someone else's design), leading to Hulk Buster. Hell, maybe Stark is the one doing something bad and it pisses off Banner enough to bring out Hulk. (not to mention that you were speculating Banner was going into withdrawal and started Hulking out and crashing stuff, then you wonder what could be so bad that they have to shoot him off into space, well, you just came up with a reason why they'd do that)

He's absolutely the most boring, least risky choice they could've made. I have no doubt he will do a fine job, but it's just so... boring. Literally every other person rumored for the role would've been a more interesting, daring pick. Taking big risks is how Marvel got all of its success, one that's reflected in every single casting choice for all their leads so far.

Plus I feel like he had his chance to do camp as Khan and he failed miserably, but I'm willing to lay that at Orci and Kurtzman's feet rather than his.
That's why you get other people to do it for you. (http://comicsalliance.com/avengers-age-ultron-trailer-secrets/) It's easier that way.
I gotta say, a lot of the points seem legit! I think Spidey is totally in that trailer.

I think it's safe to lay all the blame on the Star Trek reboots on Orci and Kurtzman, they squandered a fantastic cast and a good director. But don't worry, I have no doubts the sequel will be even better because they've ditched the saner of the two writers and given the director's chair to the crazy one! Cast list and synopsis for Agent Carter (http://marvel.com/news/tv/23536/see_whats_in_store_for_marvels_agent_carter_in_the_official_series_synopsis). It looks like Howard Stark will only be guesting or recurring; the basic jist of the plot is that Howard Stark has been framed of selling dangerous weapons and asks Peggy Carter to clear his name, sending his loyal butler Jarvis to assist. Not only will Peggy Carter have to deal with sexist asshats who want to keep her behind a desk instead of in the field, but she also has to solve this case without anyone at the SSR finding out, or else she'll be labeled a traitor!

Benedict Cumberbatch is not confirmed or it would have been mentioned today.
We will see Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War.
We will get writer and director announcement prior to casting for Captain Marvel.
This is the Cinematic Civil War.
No Hulk solo movie for now.
Ant-Man is the end of Phase 2 and Civil War is the beginning of Phase 3.
Black Widow’s role will remain in the Avengers and not a solo movie but they have big plans for her.
When asked about the Netflix series, The Defenders and the Infinity War… Feige said that all of those things share the same universe.

Weird foot zippers, and the pattern might have been tryhard in any other superhero (hi Man of Steel) but if that's for camouflage, it should work. Looks cool.
... Thor Ragnarok "picks up from Avengers 2" ? Will something happen on an Asgardian scale out of the Ultron event ? Sounds odd, it never was hinted to reach that far.

And this third Thor movie, maybe we see Ragnarok (cause of the movie title)? And about Civil War? I'm really curious about that.

there was a rumour he would show in the end with cap marvel. but the movie has supposedly ulysses klaw that is one of his biggest enemies.
about ragnarok
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
three things it could refer to.
thing 1, in the comics, ragnarok was a cyclic ressurection event the asgardian gods went through where they all died and were reborn as a different facet of themselves. Thor managed to break them from it.
thing 2- if ultron threat reveals powerful enough, Odin might declare war on earth, which would then bring out their big guns, iniating ragnarok on earth via fimbulwinter ( odin is loki so .. .it might be this )
thing 3- during civil war tony and pym were all like "HEY GUYS THOR IS DEAD BUT WE CAN MAKE A THOR RIGHT? ( thor was locked in ragnarock rebirth ) and they made a thor, and that thor was a cyborg clone, and then it started shooting people for being black.

It's much more likely that the Ragnarok in the title refers to the event, since it's Asgardian mythology. The cyborg Ragnarok would only make sense on Earth, either in Thor's absence (stupid in a Thor movie) or as a replacement in a battle of humans (which would suck for a Thor movie). Thor movies are on a cosmic scale, not on an Earth scale, so it'd be dumb to have this title and not be about the mythological event. Also roboThor is dumb in general. And it would be terrible in a Thor movie to have a battle between two Thors - and even more so to make it the title of the movie.

Here's some reports from the panel: Kevin Feige explains how Civil War works without secret identities: (http://www.slashfilm.com/marvel-civil-war-movie/) basically the superheroes don't want to be controlled by the government. (which, they kinda sorta already were, with SHIELD? obviously gonna be some more differences) Feige also mentioned that Runaways might be headed to TV (!!!) (http://comicbook.com/2014/10/28/marvel-studios-head-says-runaways-may-see-life-on-television/), which, I dunno, how the hell would you do a velociraptor on a TV budget? And the answer to that isn't "don't include Old Lace" because that is fucking bullshit >:[
and also... oh no. oh no no no no no no. Reginald Hudlin (writer of a truly awful period in the Black Panther comics) was seen meeting with the Russo Brothers (and also Halle Berry and Djimon Honsou), with Hudlin claiming he couldn't reveal the purposes of that meeting. (http://comicbook.com/2014/10/28/honsou-hudlin-berry-and-russo-brothers-in-a-historic-meeting/)
why can't they get Christopher Priest to write the script? :(
edit - Boseman's Wikipedia page says Black Panther will be introduced in Civil War, was that announced ?
I think people might be assuming based on how he was introduced; there was banter between Evans, RDJ, and Boseman as to what side he'd pick for Civil War. It would be pretty weird to have him play a major role in it without even having his movie come out first.
thing 2- if ultron threat reveals powerful enough, Odin might declare war on earth, which would then bring out their big guns, iniating ragnarok on earth via fimbulwinter ( odin is loki so .. .it might be this )
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Probably something like this, sans the whole Earth stuff. I think they're not even gonna do any Earth stuff at all for Thor 3; Natalie Portman I think got out of her contract and doesn't want to do anymore Marvel movies (because, among other reasons, Marvel fired the director she wanted to work with on Thor 2 at the last minute before shooting was going to start). But yeah they phased out a lot of the Earth stuff in Thor 2, and from the various rumors it sounds like Thor leaves Earth after Age of Ultron because Iron Man fucked everything up.
Then Loki-as-Odin brings about Ragnarok or something, with Surtur and the Midgard Serpent and the like, and also Thanos steals the Tesseract at some point? I dunno.
Reginald Hudlin (writer of a truly awful period in the Black Panther comics) was seen meeting with the Russo Brothers (and also Halle Berry and Djimon Honsou), with Hudlin claiming he couldn't reveal the purposes of that meeting. (http://comicbook.com/2014/10/28/honsou-hudlin-berry-and-russo-brothers-in-a-historic-meeting/)

I dunno, Thor gives a very worried/surprised look for a split second when Cap gives it a try and his hands slide back on the handle - the hammer DOES move just a little bit. Either Cap realizes he can lift it and fakes failing, or he was on the verge of making it and didn't notice but Thor did.
Here's some reports from the panel: Kevin Feige explains how Civil War works without secret identities: (http://www.slashfilm.com/marvel-civil-war-movie/)
Quote
there is no SHIELD, obviously. Stark is paying for it, Captain America is running it
Cap is running SHIELD ? At the end of Winter Soldier he said he was going after Bucky and wouldn't join Stark. Also Stark isn't really running SHIELD, he's picking up the pieces he can find - but he doesn't know Coulson has taken over the real command of SHIELD.
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Age of Ultron trailer is out!!!
Post by: DKDC on October 29, 2014, 10:16:24 pm
The deal is said to begin with Captain America: Civil War and to include Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and Part 2. Throw in a Black Panther solo film in 2017 and you only have one more movie in the deal… likely a Black Panther sequel if the first film does well.
So yeah, he'll pop up in Civil War. Also
Quote
when asked about casting of Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel, Kevin Feige said that there would be director and writer announcements before casting. They announced Boseman because he’s going to appear in Civil War which has it’s writers and directors. Since we don’t have a Captain Marvel then its safe to assume that she won’t be making her first appearance until at least Guardians of the Galaxy 2 but more likely Avengers: Infinity War Part 1.
So Wonder Woman will come first both in the crossover movie and the solo movie.

Post by: Jmorphman on October 30, 2014, 05:49:09 am
Seems pretty odd that Black Panther would appear in a movie before his own origin (because of the nature of Wakanda, such an isolationist country would probably not take their king leaving to go fight crime overseas), but I'm sure they have it figured out. I've seen some people speculate that he'd be filling in the Spider-Man role, but that seems to be based entirely on how he was introduced at the event, asked to choose either Evans/Cap or RDJ/Stark. Maybe he's acting as some kind of ambassador or something, and both Iron Man and Cap are asking for aid (aka vibranium) in their fight against the other, or something? I dunno!
Cap is running SHIELD ? At the end of Winter Soldier he said he was going after Bucky and wouldn't join Stark. Also Stark isn't really running SHIELD, he's picking up the pieces he can find - but he doesn't know Coulson has taken over the real command of SHIELD.
From all the rumors it sounds like Cap is running the Avengers, which Stark is paying for (uniforms, Quinjets, fancy tower condos, etc.), and then Stark builds Ultron to give the Avengers a break or something (like they're overstretched defending the world from all manner of threats because SHIELD is dead and Coulson's SHIELD is still trying to build itself up).
Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Age of Ultron trailer is out!!!
Post by: DKDC on October 30, 2014, 06:03:30 am
Oh, the Avengers, not SHIELD, of course. I see Panther as making only a cameo in Civil War, with a mention of Vibranium after Age of Ultron. Cap's shield is apparently broken in that, so Cap probably needs a new one, and Panther jumps in. Could be just coming up at the end, like, it seemed normal to everyone, but suddenly, scary black guy in a panther suit jumps at your throat and accuses you of stealing his country's resources, and lead into the solo movie. I imagine he won't play a major part,but he might be in the background of superheroes being involved in a "international politics" crisis. Apparently the Civil War will be about government regulation vs personal responsibilities of being a hero arguing on the subject of accountability, so I don't see how Panther would get personally involved in that in any way. I don't think he'll be a player, but he can be tied to the cause of the conflict, like, as a victim.

But yeah, Loki makes sense for Infinity War. It is, after all, the big ultimate crossover of the entire MCU, with the likely last appearances of most of the original actors; of course he's gonna show up!

James Gunn has been on the interview circuit lately, what with GotG coming out on DVD and all. Here's a few things of note:
GotG2 is not subservient to the Avengers. It is not a movie that is being made to lead to Infinity War. (http://www.mtv.com/news/1996245/guardians-of-the-galaxy-2-avengers-3/) Really good news (no one wants another Iron Man 2)!
Nebula, Yondu, and the rest of the Ravagers will reappear in the sequel. (http://insidemovies.ew.com/2014/11/12/james-gunn-guardians-galaxy-2/?hootPostID=50259c95bcd90ca4a691d5e8352a4f61) The Collector might not be in GotG2, but Gunn wants to do more with him, so he might not show up until the third one.

Daniel Bruhl (Inglourious Basterds, Rush) joined the cast of Cap 3, in an unknown role, though apparently as a villain. (http://collider.com/captain-america-3-villain-daniel-bruhl/) Sebastian Stan is also returning (the Russos said that they'd continue the Winter Soldier storyline in Cap 3 so it's not a huge surprise). Variety claims he will actually be playing the main villain in Doctor Strange (probably Baron Mordo), but will pop up in Cap 3 beforehand? Samuel L. Jackson and Scarlett Johansson are expected to return but they haven't been confirmed yet.
also there's been more rumors about the Russo brothers directing Infinity War, taking over for Joss Whedon; I hope Whedon at least stays on in an advisory capacity or even writes the script! But I'd also like him to pursue new projects too!

well at least he'll do well in the role, I guess. I wonder if they'll let him keep his accent, I can't really think of a reason why they shouldn't, and I have no idea how well he can do an American accent anyway. in more exciting casting news, Krysten Ritter (Breaking Bad, Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 [yes, that's an actual title, and good lord is it bad, but don't judge that show's quality on it, it was supposed to be amazing!], Big Eyes) is playing Jessica Jones (http://deadline.com/2014/12/krysten-ritter-cast-jessica-jones-marvel-1201309398/), a former superhero who, after a traumatic incident involving mind-control, turns in her tights and opens up a private detective agency. Pretty excited about this, she's really great, really great casting.
Additionally, Mike Colter (The Following, Halo: Nightfall) has been cast as Luke Cage, a man convicted of a crime he didn't commit, and, gaining powers from a series of experiments while in prison, breaks out, clears his name, and becomes a superhero. Cage will apparently appear in several episodes of the Jessica Jones show (and presumably she will appear in some of his, because they're romantically linked).

So I read that the Dr. Strange movie isn't going to be an origin, and the write (or Director?) said something about baron Mordo not being the main villain (or that he was the villain in the old script and they aren't using that now?), so I hope the villain is Dormammu with Mordo as a minion of some kind. Mind only worry is they are going to make Dormammu some kind of giant floating head, which they love to do.
Also I'm hoping if this movie gets a sequel down the road Shuma-Gorath can finally get some screen time.

The Sony leaks continue to provide a bounty of information: an email from the Russo brothers has them confirming they're gonna direct Avengers: Infinity War. (http://screenrant.com/avengers-3-4-spider-man-directors-russos/) I think it's pretty likely that Whedon will have some sort of involvement in it, however.
also since Spider-Man joining the MCU is still a possibility maybe, Marvel's requirements for that happening is for a "clean slate" (http://www.latino-review.com/news/marvel-wants-a-fresh-start-with-spider-man-without-andrew-garfield), a complete break from all previous movies, with a new actor portraying Spidey, no doing his origin again for the third goddamn time, and less of a focus on the romantic aspects of Peter Parker's life and focus more on splitting time between his normal life and superheroing. Booting out Andrew Garfield was apparently the point of contention with the Sony execs, and may have led to them backing out of a deal (unless Sony Japan steps in, maybe).
And speaking of Sony execs not wanting to recast Andrew Garfield... TO BE CONTINUED IN THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS THREAD FACE FRONT, TRUE BELIEVERS!

If it works out, Spidey could/will be added to Civil War and Age of Ultron in cameo roles (as it's too late to do anything else), with a solo film later on down the line. Logan Lerman is supposed to be the favorite to play the role, but it hasn't been cast yet. An offical announcment is supposed to come after January's Spidey-summit.

Not a ton, no. It does seem fairly plausible and fits with the other rumors from more reliable sources (Latino Review, pretty much), but I just recently saw a purported email sent to one of the Sony execs with basically the same information and that seemed obviously fake, which is not a great sign.
“Marvel, they have their thing and there’s a certain formula to it all which seems to still be working.”
“But how many times can you say ‘you’re wearing a funny costume’ with the tights and stuff? That’s been going on for 20 years now.”
“Yes, we all know that superheroes are damaged individuals. Maybe we need to see a happy superhero?”
“I remember ‘Batman’ getting so much flak and criticism at the time for being too dark and now 20-30 years later, it now looks like a light-hearted romp, it’s such a strange thing to go through.” Burton told Yahoo Movies.
This is satire right? Tim Burton can't be that unaware of himself.

What are you talking about, all those movies starring Johnny Depp in pancake makeup as a crazy weirdo with strange tics who wears a fancy hat are like, the opposite of formulaic! (actually, though, his new movie Big Eyes is supposed to be pretty good and a return to form for him, and it doesn't even have Johnny Depp or Helena Bonham Carter in it)
also seems weird to call out Marvel for dark depressing superhero movies when DC's right there, fresh off from the Dark Knight trilogy and is currently making movies about sad depressed Superman who doesn't save people.
But uh yeah, I mean, he is kinda right; the MCU movies are somewhat formulaic, most of them follow a pretty rigid three act structure with three major action scenes (a beginning, establishing scene; a second scene where the heroes lose; and a third scene withan ultra mega aerial battle usually over a city as the heroes have a final battle to stop the villains from unleashing their MacGuffin that will kill everyone). The good ones disguise this well, but it's still there, and it feels somewhat limiting, and hopefully the comments Marvel has made about Dr. Strange about not doing an origin movie is a signal that they're moving away from it.

"Yes, we all know that superheroes are damaged individuals. Maybe we need to see a happy superhero?"
I don't even understand those ones. What about the funny costumes, does that mean superheroes shouldn't wear a costume ? As for seeing a happy superhero rather than damaged people, that's just nonsense, Marvel doesn't make that the focus of their stuff, "happy" is what they do all the time. Iron Man had this "damaged hero" because he was the first, Thor had his origin movie and then immediately fucked off in the opposite direction of "damaged" (and even then he was only "damaged" for a small part of that movie, after he failed to retrieve the hammer and when he tried to sacrifice himself, he was happy all the time otherwise), Cap is leagues away from that in both his movies, Avengers is a slugfest, GotG doesn't give a crap (of course they acknowledge the past that Rocket, Drax and Gamora have but as a team they're pretty forward). This comment only works on origin movies, and that's because that's just how the characters are most of the time - because they've been like that for decades.
In fact, the "that's been going on for 20 years" makes me think that when he says Marvel, he means Sony and Fox too. In which case that's totally true.

Dc and marvel are essentially different kinds of universe and ficiton, superman and batman dont have "potential" they have powers. they are fine for myth like stories and are good for what they do.
Spider-man is a much more broader character with much more themes to him and focusing on his sad arcs without seeing the rest of his characterization is what those movie makers are doing that is making their movies be a failure in the narrative sense. you are basically attempting to agree with me while doing exactly the kind of thing i was criticizing!

You're right, why can't they follow the comics where he never ever cries, it's almost as if they thought his first appearance ended with him in tears or something
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
(http://i.imgur.com/lV6mD3M.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/VOvpV0S.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/tc1vxmg.jpg) he's crying for the exact same reasons as the movies, even
Spider-Man is a hero who is fundamentally shaped by tragedy. There is a very real sadness about him, whether it's the tragedies of his life or his woes that plague his every day life. That's his whole deal; there is of course a simultaneous bright happiness about him, of soaring through the skies of Manhattan on a webline and beating up bad guys, but it is the blending of the two that makes Spider-Man, Spider-Man. The two moods are an absolutely essential part of the way Spidey works, and to discard one is to discard the whole. And none of the movies, even the two I hate, ever go so far as to discard either of these.
Even in the rumors (or leaks? I don't remember what's a leak or rumor at this point) for Marvel's plans for another Spider-Man reboot movie, it's mentioned that the thing they want to move away from in the Sony movies is not "Spider-man crying all the time", or whatever, it's the romance. The Sony movies have all been about the romance aspect in some way, and while I would never say that's a wrong choice, it would be good to explore some other areas in future movies. Evangeline Lilly mentioned her Ant-Man character being the daughter of "the founders of the Avengers" (http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/17/showbiz/feat-evangeline-lilly-hobbit/index.html), and mentioned Wasp by name. Now, some sites are saying maybe she's just referring to the comics version, but heck, in Iron Man 1, Nick Fury already had some plan called the "Avengers Initiative". Is it really a stretch to assume there was an earlier team in the 1960s? It certainly wouldn't be out of the ordinary for the Marvel Universe, which had a couple of superhero teams in between the Golden Age of superheroes in WWII and whenever on the floating timeline superheroes reemerged onto the scene in the modern day.

@jmorphman Spiderman crying has been the focus of five of those movies, crying over mary jane, crying over aunt may, crying over unca ben. Why do you want to see the super hero cry so much? Whats with the fetish to see spider-man suffer?

I think the problem with the original Spider-Man movies is that you don't get enough of the sense of freedom that Spidey gets when he's behind the mask (because there's little to no quips). You get a little of that in the Amazing movies, but they're hampered by poor writing. I don't think moving away from romance is necessary because that's always been a big part of Spider-Man anything, I think they need to present more of the positive things being Spidey means to Peter and less of the sadness.

Spider-Man is built on suffering, but also on overcoming suffering. I think is helpful to think of the Lee/Ditko run for this; the very first issue is of course the famous origin, ending with Spider-Man wandering off, sobbing; and one of the final Ditko issues, the famous FINAL CHAPTER (http://i.imgur.com/LNuu5tj.jpg), has Spidey trapped under a ton of machinery in Doc Ock's flooding lab, giving up and languishing off to oblivion, before deciding not to give in to pain and suffering, and straining every muscle in his body to lift up the wreckage that is trapping him. That's the essence of Spider-Man right there.

See what I said earlier about Thor's origin movie : Thor gets depressed at two points in this movie - when he fails to lift the hammer, and then when he goes to sacrifice himself. Those moments are indeed defining moments for his character as a superhero, it's what gets him acknowledged as "worthy of the power of Thor". But the thing is, they're not his whole being. for the near entirety of the movie, he's boasting, shouting, laughing, drinking. Not crying. And that's what Thor does and is (at least in the movie, I'm not much familiar with his comics). Spiderman is similar : his biggest lesson, great powers and great responsibilities, came from losing uncle Ben. Then captain Stacy, and Gwen. But the thing is, those events happen over a lengthy period - and the rest of that period is full of his quirks and snappy comments and being funny. He cries every now and then because he's human, because he does have shit happening to him, but he doesn't cry all the time. In the movies, it's a pretty big percentage of what happens. Garfield did a great attempt at showing that side of his character (in spite of crying when captain Stacy dies !) There were other bad / weird / stupid stuff in it, and I didn't see Amazing 2, but at least he definitely showed that side of Spiderman better than McGuire, who was just... slumped and hesitating all the time, even when he tried to make snarky comebacks, he was nearly whispering them and not putting his body into it. And that simply isn't what Spiderman is.

But those brief moments of Spider-Man crying in the Sony movies are no more representative of the overall mood of the film(s) or of the character than those moments in Thor! I mean, it's not for nothing that the Spider-Man movies are always listed among the more joyous/bright/happy superhero movies (well, 4 out of the 5 movies, I've seen some complaints about Amazing 1 being too dreary)

Well, crying aside...IF the deal happens, Marvel gets Spidey back, what do you think about them using Miles Morales instead? And Peter showing up just ocasionally--he's dead, I know, but w/e--I'd be kinda weird, they shouldn't start from the origin again, so what do you guys think they should do?

I love miles but no, it would be like making dick grayson batman, or starting off with sam wilson as captain america it sorta limits your audience and leaves too much to be explained. Better to have him show up much much much later or not at all.

Post by: Speedpreacher on December 21, 2014, 12:50:53 am
I wouldn't like it. If Spider-Man's back in the fold, then Spider-Man's back in the fold. I don't want any substitute. If you make the decision to kill Peter later on down the line, then by all means use Miles. Or if you want to do a TV show... maybe. I'd still prefer Peter in that case.

Dc and marvel are essentially different kinds of universe and ficiton, superman and batman dont have "potential" they have powers.
Negative, neither of them have "powers".
Batman trained his body and mind for 20+ years.
Kal-El has the same abilities anyone else from his home planet would have on earth.

No idea who this guy is but he certainly looks the part. So long as he can deliver a satisfactory "Sweet Christmas" then we're good.

I think the only thing I've seen him in is MiB3 as Colonel WillSmith'sDad. He seems to have been on the Good Wife since the beginning so I'm assuming he's a good actor, so seems like a good choice to me.

And now for another presentation of "Directors who did good stuff in the past and have, of late, fallen off quite a bit, complain about modern superhero movies in an absurdly hypocritical, amazingly non-self-aware manner"; our last episode featured Batman (Returns) director Tim Burton (http://mugenguild.com/forum/msg.2060620), and for tonight we have Lord of the Rings (and sadly, The Hobbit trilogy) director Peter Jackson: (http://news.moviefone.com/2014/12/19/peter-jackson-philippa-boyens-the-hobbit-interview/)
Peter Jackson said:
I don't really like the Hollywood blockbuster bandwagon that exists right now. The industry and the advent of all the technology, has kind of lost its way. It's become very franchise driven and superhero driven.

I hated the lord of the rings movies myself, I found them all boring as all hell and it seemed like they could all been done in one movie. So thank you peter jackson from staying away from superhero movies.
and lol franchise driven says the guy who keeps doing lotr movies. Hypocrite much?
I think they are bitter no one wants to see them do one.
Also did anyone hear about sony wanting to bring back tobey maguire as spiderman\peter parker? I can't remember if it was posted here or not, but I hope they don't go back to him. He's a great actor but I always felt he's way too dry for neurotic peter parker/spiderman which they haven't really gotten down correctly yet.

Of all the things to get mad at in Tim Burton's dumb quote, "happy superhero" is by far the most hilariously stupid.
I mean Jesus, this is what lead to Man of Steel, superheroes not being allowed to be happy, who the fuck wants that? I liked Lord of the Rings but Jackson has really fallen off since then, King Kong and the Hobbit movies are absurdly overly long messes (but have some good moments) and The Lovely Bones is a misfire on practically every level. I want to see Braindead-era Peter Jackson (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEuT9sePcI4) come back!

It's Hollywood backbiting cowardice at it's finest. You can't place blame on one movie for a mess of other movies producers wanting to copy the same tone.....But it's easy though huh.
Ultimately, it's both the movie and comic production company's job to represent their respective characters properly. If one of the two is screwing things up, the other needs to say something, like Marvel has with FF.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan don't compare Michael Bay movies and The Fast and Furious ones! The Fast movies are certainly pretty dumb, but they're really fun, just gloriously dumb fun!!!

I concur, Transformers movies are overly long slogs, Fast and Furious movies are breezy dumb action movies.

they both are shitty movies in general though, which was where I was going. I'd rather see an avengers, GOTG,Cap etc every year over either of those.
There's only so many times I can watch them do ocean's 11 with cars.
