I can't wait for Avengers, but the other three I can't give a poo poo about. Marvel properties not handled by Marvel? Forget it. Another Batman movie after how much I hated The Dark Knight? Forget it. Superman? Forget it. Avengers though? gently caress yeah.

JGL just seem to love playing Cobra Commander. Polite Tim posted:Gutted Levett won't carry on in it, because he looked like he was having a blast hamming up his role. Did I watch the same movie as you people? There wasn't anything special about Levitt, his performance, or Cobra Commander that having any of those things absent/different this time around would be a bad thing. He was so lifeless that Channing Tatum could have played the role. Also the movie was poo poo through and through.

What they really need is Hugh Jackman just chilling out in the background of a scene or two, chomping on a cigar. If they don't say he's Wolverine they can't get in trouble, right? Right?

Away all Goats posted:They don't even need Jackman or show his face, just have someone called Howlett take a bullet and go down, then he shows up again in a later scene to take another bullet. Yeah, but I wonder if using any names or specific likenesses tied into the X-Men film properties would be a problem. If you just have Hugh Jackman standing in as "A Guy," then that can't cause any problems, can it? Of course this is all moot since we all know this isn't happening and this movie will loving SUCK because of it.

Vargo posted:EDIT: Is it ever clearly explained how far removed that last scene in Hulk is from the rest of the movie? Stark could've found Ross in that bar weeks after the events of the movie occurred. That's why I said it finished last. The ending of the movie is the latest point in the timeline out of the movies so far, unless they specify otherwise. But at that point, Tony's on board as part of the Avengers Initiative, which doesn't happen until after the events of Iron Man 2. We know what comes before what and what happens during what. That's all we really need to know. The only unknown is when the after-credits scene in Thor would take place, but right now that's non-essential and will be locked down once Captain America and Avengers come out. Everything fits into place.

Why does everyone assume that Spider-Man is going to do badly/Dark Knight Rises will do good just because they're being released close together? It seems realistic enough that they'd both do quite well, even if they both end up being lovely movies.

Red Pyramid posted:The fact that you're a drooling Marvel fanboy doesn't color your opinion at all, I'm sure. I don't read comics. I've really enjoyed all of Marvel's in-house films though, but to be fair, I also really enjoyed Batman Begins. I'm not going to poo poo on a comic movie because of some sort of misguided loyalty to a publisher, because I don't have any. Sorry if I gave you that impression. The bottom line of what I was trying to convey is that I think Bane looks completely ridiculous, so that's what you should take away from my comments.

Rake Arms posted:He knows. And whether those are his genuine opinions or not, he also knew that stating them in the manner he did would provoke a hostile response. Well let's be fair here. I'm not INTENTIONALLY provoking anyone here. I will apologize for my reply to Toot Boot, because the tone didn't come out how I meant it to and ended up being more snarky than it should have, so I can see how that would incite more hostile comments. Any other posts I made? Only if you connect them to the accidental tone of the aforementioned post and just decided I was being an rear end in a top hat regardless of what I was actually saying. I don't like how Bane looks. I didn't like The Joker. If those opinions cause someone to make hostile responses, that's on them. I'll try to wrangle this all in now. I'm pretty negative on Nolan's take on Batman after I ended up disliking The Dark Knight, and nothing leading up to Dark Knight Rises has changed that. Looking at that picture of Bane, as I said, it looks more like a guy in a Saw movie than a Bane concept to me. Mabe in the context of the film, all that poo poo on his face will make more sense, but it's not doing anything for me at all from the teaser. People make defenses that it's no more ridiculous than Scarecrow, or that we should have faith after what Nolan did with The Joker. My responses to those are; It is more ridiculous than Scarecrow, and I didn't like The Joker. I look at Scarecrow from the Batman Begins trailer;  I see an intensely creepy villain. Piercing eyes staring through a worn, dirty burlap sack, shoddily sewn together with bits of straw sticking out. It's got a lot of character to me and intrigues me, and makes me think the character is going to be really loving cool (and he was). I don't see that with Bane. I liked Joker's look too, for the most part. His look wasn't the problem. Heath Ledger wasn't really the problem. Posting a picture of The Joker or bringing up a posthumous Oscar doesn't nullify a complaint. I just didn't like the adaptation of the character and what he did throughout the movie, so I feel continuing to this thread of discussion as if it pretains to my thoughts on Bane's look just doesn't make much sense.

Oh come on, let's not lump all these in together as the same thing. Kingpin sucked solely because Kingpin (and the rest of the movie) sucked. Heimdell was a small embarassing handful of racists, and are people really up in arms over there being a different person as Spider-Man? That's be like people being pissed at there being a new, black, Green Lantern. They didn't suddenly change Peter's ethnicity or anything. And it's not like you HAVE to be racist to dislike changes like this.

I watched the episodes of the Avengers cartoon they had up on Netflix, and I was surprised how good they were. It's not the best cartoon ever (that would be Gargoyles), but it does a great job of bringing about this whole universe and interweaving all these things going on, like the movie are trying to do. It also does a good job of portraying the variety of characters in a way that they all manage to work on the same level, meaning having non-powered people like Hawkeye feel right at home with technological-aided people like Iron Man, and none are outshone by god-like beings like Thor. Same goes for the villains. I mention all this because of the movies. It gives me a lot of hope that a continued "shared universe" series of Marvel films could continue to be really interesting and fun, especially if and when they get into things like space aliens and magic. But when it comes to Captain America, I'm concerned they might have closed the book on his adventures too quickly. I loved the movie, but after seeing some of his other enemies who return in present day in the cartoon (none of which are Red Skull, so far) and keeping the "big picture" thing in mind, it feels like a missed opportunity to have not explored further with Captain America in the 40's facing these enemies and HYDRA's experiments. I guess we'll see what happens, but I just wanted to share those thoughts.

Gyges posted:Another thing of interest is that the first few episodes of the season are unrelated except for each one focuses on one of the people who become the Avengers. It's pretty much exactly like their movie release schedule. Theme song is not stuck in my head, because it is godawful and I skipped the intro every time after the first episode. I wasn't really trying to get into a discussion over the cartoon, but more trying to discuss how the cartoon shows that a continued series of movies that expand into different areas could work really well, but I also have some concerns over some "missed opportunities." I do hope they manage to bring about certain HYDRA enemies, even if Captain America didn't encounter them in the past. In the cartoon, they are pretty much the driving force behind most of HYDRA's activities and there's no Red Skull in the present yet.

TheJoker138 posted:I'm very, very surprised they haven't brought Agent Coulson into the comics yet, like DC did with Harley Quinn. Then again, I'm also surprised that they invented a new character for the movies when any number of SHIELD agents from the comics could have done the exact same thing he does. Iron Man was a very isolated film that very slowly built up and teased the bigger picture, so it was essential to have a new character that nobody would recognize going around through the whole movie. So then at the end when he simplifies his department name to SHEILD and it clicks in your head, and then Fury shows up after the credits and it's all "OH YEAH THIS IS JUST THE START OF SOMETHING BIGGER BITCHES!" and it all just works perfectly that way. And I think that's why Coulson ended up being such a great character. He's a very understated guy who nonchalantly brings to the audience's attention all the awesome poo poo.

As far as I'm understanding it, all the X-Men movies are connected, because that's just how it is. If something doesn't add up, it's not because of any kind of rebooting or rewriting the history, it's because the people behind the movies are terrible and at least some of the movies are terrible. There's no real reason to overthink it and make sense of it all. There IS no sense.
