Neo Rasa posted:Clive Owen plays Dwight McCarthy in the first Sin City. Josh Brolin is listed as Dwight McCarthy in this sequel, but Clive Owen is in the movie also, is this right? In the comics Dwight is physically destroyed and shot up by Manute, goes through some major surgery and returns as the same guy but with his hair grown out, did they decide this warranted two different actors? That doesn't happen till the very end of the book, so if anything, expect an Owen cameo at most.

Supreme Allah posted:Huh, they actually look metal. In all of the movies but Origins (I don't think it used this technique anyway) he actually usually has either metal or rubber physical claws, and the CG is used to make it look like they're coming out of his hand and not strapped onto it. It seems like they're back to using that, or they got a way better CG house than did Origins.

Fishylungs posted:Also, last I heard they were going to do World War Hulk as an animated DTV movie, but I haven't heard anything on the Marvel DTV front in a long while. They said they were doing Astonishing X-Men last and then nothing ever came from it. They did do Planet Hulk, setting up a World War Hulk thing, before that but then also nothing. Hopefully they just gave up because this is the one area where DC was just loving trouncing them. Not a single one of those Marvel DTV's was worth watching.

FlamingLiberal posted:I think the series did a good job showing how effectively all of the characters were significantly flawed. They all have their issues, but that makes them more relatable and human. What motivations? Going from the end of the film every single thing he did was an act that he himself probably didn't even come up with. He was Talia's lapdog through and through, and it really cheapens the character as a whole, especially on a second watch, knowing that he's not really even the one in charge here. Nolan made a movie where a henchman is the only on screen antagonist for 95% of the film.

He qualified it by saying that he wasn't casting him as Drax. ...could he be a potential voice of Rocket Raccoon? I really hope not. He's obviously playing Groot. Or Gamora. One of the two.

Kick rear end 2 looks like it's sticking WAY too close to the comics. I was hoping they'd drop poo poo like "The Motherfucker" along with the gang rape of Kick rear end' girlfriend and his father's death. But looking at the trailer there are a bunch of scenes from those sequences in there, so unless they're changing the specifics while keeping the framework it looks like we might finally get a Mark Millar rear end Mark Millar movie. And this is not a good thing as without an editor he writes like a hyperactive 14 year old trying to be "edgy."

There are suburban scenes taken straight from the first one and the funeral scene taken straight from the second, if my memory of the book serves me right. Hopefully it's the first and it just has a different outcome.

DFu4ever posted:Momoa was a better Conan, just not a better Arnold Conan, which isn't like Conan at all really. This. Momoa was playing a character much closer to the books than Arnold was. It's like comparing Craig's James Bond to...well, not as bad as Roger Moore's, but the cheesier Connery films. They're both fine interpretations of the character, but they're very, very different from one another. And Momoa was fantastic in Game of Thrones. Him giving an entire rousing speech in a totally made up language and SELLING that fucker is still one of my favorite moments from the show.

I still really like that Catwoman porn costume, and if you just put some loving pants on her that Wonder Woman one is streets ahead of the one they had in the actual Wonder Woman pilot from a year back. E: What they had her in in the CW pilot, for reference-

Wonder Woman's outfit is loving terrible. Black Canary's fishnets outfit is also loving terrible. If you're seriously arguing "well no comic book outfit is realistic, even the ones the guys wear!" to this then I have to wonder if you know the difference between men and women in this context. Men with giant bulging muscles in outfits showing them off is a male fantasy. Women in tiny little outfits with their tits and rear end hanging out is...also a male fantasy. There is absolutely no reason for an Amazon warrior to be wearing a bondage top and booty shorts. It doesn't HAVE to be pants, but maybe make it so she's not dressed up like a stripper on the fourth of July. This is a design I've always enjoyed for her:

Wonder Woman's titty/bikini costume is stupid as poo poo because there's no reason an Amazon would be wearing it. It's sexy just for the sake of being sexy. If you don't get that I don't know what to say to you. E: There's also not a lot of "rage" coming from me here. I just think it's a super dumb costume designed to pander to the worst nerds, who are kind of some of the worst people in general.

mind the walrus posted:*Sigh*, no I'm not. Under his own power Wolverine is a dude with a heavy metal skeleton whose means of attack are knives attached to his arms. He has no innate way to move himself quickly across a field like Spider-man can with his webs, or methods of attack like Captain America's shield. Wolverine is actually quite fast and strong, due to the fact that he does have that skeleton made of metal, and his muscles grow at a much higher rate than a normal humans due to his healing factor. He's pretty much a track star strong man due to carrying all that extra weight.

mind the walrus posted:I think it was a Jack Kirby edict or something, but to my knowledge he's never had his full face shown. It just ruins the mystery of whether or not he has one tiny scar and is just a vain idiot, or if he's as scarred as he pretends he is (either from putting the mask on while it was hot or truly being scarred from the accident). We've seen him pre-scar though, when he was college buddies with Reed. He was generic handsome white guy there, but yeah, it's not like they don't have black dudes in Europe, and he could have easily just taken over Latveria cause he's a dick.

The only time race matters is when it is important to the characters personality, background, etc. I wouldn't want a white guy playing Black Panther, for instance. But I also wouldn't want a black guy playing Baron Zemo. Johnny Storm's race, and Sue Storm's for that matter, doesn't matter to those characters at all. For Thor it was already established that not all the Asgardians were white, what with Hogun and all, and it's not like Heimdall NEEDED to be a certain race for any reason other than "he was like this in the comics" so that controversy was stupid. Kingpin is the same deal. If the person chosen is a good actor and a good fit for the role, then that's all that matters. And Michael B. Jordan already played the best on screen version of Johnny Storm ever in Chronicle, so anyone who can't get behind that casting is a dummy.

Jenny Olsen is rumored to actually be Jimmy's sister in Man of Steel, although with that character who really gives a poo poo if they did a gender swap. Either way it's less dumb than in Smallville where Jimmy Olsen who was introduced and then died was the older brother or whatever of the "real" Jimmy Olsen.

On the one hand, I hate the idea of a movie making more sense only after seeing a sequel, but on the other hand, the movie will make a lot more sense. It makes perfect sense without it, but when you go back and watch it again there will be another layer. Nothing wrong with that.

To whoever said Marvel would never think about recasting Stark on the last page, Feige has said point blank that he doesn't think any of these characters are tied to a specific actor. I'm sure they'll hang onto RDJ as long as they can, but when he's done expect them to make Iron Man 4 or whatever with some new guy. It's going to happen.

Ryan Reynolds has played three different comic characters so far (4 if you count RIPD), two of them being from one company and one being from another, all by different studios. Chris Evans was Human Torch and Captain America. There's no law that says she couldn't also play Wonder Woman because she was a minor character in Thor.
