I loving love what trailer for this movie seems to be setting up. Tony's actually growing and changing as a character, and it's following up that character after Avengers. It feels like you had Tony start off as a dude making changes in his life to improve himself and the world in the first movie. Then with the second movie, you have him dealing with the effects of these changes, and the responsibility and threats that come with it. Then you have Avengers, where it's like "OK, I'm Iron Man, I've got these capabilities, poo poo's happening, I'm gonna be a hero and avenge the poo poo out of things from now on." So now THIS movie is "OK, there's a threat on the country! TONY! TONY HEY TONY YOU'RE A HERO NOW HEY TONY WHERE'S IRON MAN TO SAVE US ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU DO?" and Tony's gotta put up with this poo poo and the Mandarin is all "Hey gently caress YOU Iron Man!" and Iron Man's all "Hey gently caress YOU Mandarin I really don't need all this poo poo god dammit!" and Tony's just been going Batman-crazy building a bajillion suits for all kinds of purposes including ways to beat the poo poo out of his friends and  Just very promising stuff, is what I'm saying.

DeimosRising posted:Stark doesn't change at all in Iron Man 2, that's (among the) reason(s) the film sucks. It sets him up to realize his achievements are built on a dishonest foundation, that his hubris is endangering his life, and he isn't really solving any problems - indeed he's hardly doing enough good to make up for all the harm he's done before - then it discards all that and it turns out his dad was a wizard-saint and all the people he worked with were just jealous jerks and Iron Man rules and he was right all along. I wasn't really implying that he was changing in Iron Man 2, but rather he was dealing with all the things brought on from the first movie. Because of the arc reactor and the attention Tony receives for it/Iron Man, Vanko comes out of the woodwork to seek revenge for his father. Because he created this amazing potential weapon, the US government wants him to turn it over and work with the military. SHIELD wants to deal with him for the Avengers Initiative. All this stuff is happening, and meanwhile he's dying and is trying to process what is happening and what he needs to do. It's not a movie about massive growth and change. It's a movie about the fallout of the first movie. And now Iron Man 3 seems like it'll be about the fallout of The Avengers.

Darcy adds just enough, and some very vital, flavor to the overall tone of the movie. I don't really see how anyone could have a problem with the character unless they have a pre-existing problem with Kat Dennings and were focusing on her any time she was on screen to make sure they hated it.

Plus the third act of Incredible Hulk introduces The Leader, which they better follow up on. Hulk 2 with Leader and Abomination and Doc Samson would be pretty great.

I find it amusing they cast a wrestler as Drax, since these threads usually devolve into arguments about fan-casting wrestlers in such roles and how dumb people are for even thinking such things.

If we can't get Sins Past in the Spider-man movies (that would rule) then let's have this with subtext handled by Joss Whedon. It'd be amazing. And then cast these two to play them, while we're at it.  Instead of vampires, they're siblings. Done.

blackguy32 posted:I will never understand why these people can ignore all of the other changes that they made from the comics to the big screen but get really ugly when they find out that someone who used to be white, will now be played by somebody black. The race usually never contributes to the character of the person. I can understand not wanting a African American to play as the Red Skull for obvious reasons, but there is nothing about Johnny Storm that screams "Must be played by a white guy". These other changes are never ignored, so I don't know what world you are living in where people ONLY care that ethnicity stays intact when adapting a property. People have attachments to the source material, and they don't want arbitrary, pointless changes made in adaptation. Sometimes one of these pointless changes involves the color of a person's skin, and if someone is displeased with that does not make them a racist. Not to say there aren't people with racist opinions on such matters, but not everyone should be lumped in to one category, thereby disregarding all of them for their feelings on the matter.

That looks pretty cool, and I'm very interested in the idea of a superhero show that doesn't focus on the superheroes, because it's an odd concept to roll with. Also... the superpowered black guy in that trailer. Is that Luke Cage, some other Marvel character, or a brand new character being made for the show?

There is always a chance of Blade being involved int he Marvel movie universe, but I doubt they'll fit him into the Avengers 2 plot or have Snipes involved. I think there was a passing mention of some interest in some Blade/Doc Strange/Ghost Rider action, but nothing beyond that.

It's Fox and an X-Men movie, so nobody will tell me differently that this is a desperate attempt to bite on Marvel's coattails just because they can. If they really wanted to use Quicksilver (and Scarlet Witch), they had 5 movies to do more than an extremely brief cameo before Whedon started throwing names around.

See, this is why Marvel should really go with the messed up incest versions of those characters. That way someone in the movie can make a comments about them having "freak mutant babies" if they were to have kids, and Marvel can have the last laugh.

Well let's just run down the list of everything these movies could be. Runaways - Movie planned early on, but was put on the backburner to focus on other projects. Ant Man - Edgar Wright's finally getting this thing off the ground. Doc Strange - Rumored to be showing up in Thor 2, and talk has been made of wanting to do a movie for him. Black Panther - Idea has been thrown around for wanting to do a movie of him too. Luke Cage/Iron Fist/Heroes for Hire - Their names have been thrown around, but I don't know if they have plans for either of them. Daredevil, Blade, Punisher, Ghost Rider - Marvel has all these back now. And besides new film properties, you've got all your potential sequels, the most likely being Hulk 2.

GotG is a make-or-break film for Marvel, in terms of if an audience will be accepting of all the crazy space stuff that could potentially be thrown at them, so it makes me very concerned that they've put their faith in James Gunn to helm the film. I really wasn't that impressed with Slither or Super, especially not enough to think "This guy should be writing and directing a complex Marvel blockbuster." I hope he either really surprises me, or Marvel ends up babysitting him through the whole production.

Like if you hold a flashlight up against your hand and it glows through your skin, except in this case the flashlight is a lightning storm and it is inside of him. It's not a bad concept, at least.

wyoming posted:How is the grim and grungy version of Wolverine any different from shaking things up for the film? They're both acknowledging the original design was goofy. The original design looks goofy NOW, but it was made in the 1970's. Many comics originated 40-50 years ago, where their origins and visuals and stories were very appropriate for the times, but don't hold up now, and have gone through various changes as time has gone on and tastes and trends have changed. The people making the X-Men movies don't seem to give a poo poo about any of that though. That's the difference.

The only way a Batman/Superman movie could work at this time, is if it's a standalone film that has zero connection to Nolan's trilogy, Man of Steel, or any kind of attempt at creating a shared universe or Justice League movie. They just do not have a proper foundation to start building anything on yet, and if they seriously think they can, this movie is going to be a glorious disaster.

Electromax posted:I thought they had already said Thanos was the villain? Or is that the Galaxy movie? Going by the Avengers cartoon, Ultron is a line of robots created by Hank Pym (Ant Man/Giant Man) to supervise imprisoned supervillain-type people in his special prison for supervillain-type people, because Hank Pym hates superhero bullshit and would rather do science stuff to help fight bad guys instead of go out there and wreck poo poo and risk people's lives. He ultimately refines his Ultron model to the point that it becomes a sentient being that goes crazy and becomes unstoppable and attempts to kill everyone and everything. It also creates Vision, an almost alien-like robot-humanoid-thingy.

I will never understand the complaints for the SHIELD interactions in Iron Man 2, since everything involving them makes absolute perfect sense both for the movie and for the greater picture. SHIELD is starting the Avengers Initiative, with Tony being their premiere candidate. They have Black Widow observe him to determine his potential role, and note his deteriorating health, destructive behavior, and Vanko loving poo poo up. It comes to a head, and Fury steps in and is like "Hey, dude, get a loving grip k?" Tony gets a grip. Now for "Needless SHIELD insert," I will admit Thor had this. "Hey guys, it's me, Hawkeye! I'm- oh... you don't need me? OK... later.  "Really, the only thing I don't like about the Iron Man films is how they feel the need to kill off all their villains. It's a really dated practice, makes Iron Man look barbaric (even HULK spared Abomination and Loki), and forces them to keep scraping the barrel for decent bad guys (something Iron Man really doesn't have) and start fresh instead of building up something bigger. Also, now they're putting Ultron into the picture. Imagine if Stane, Vanko, Mandarin, and the Extremis soldiers were still alive and could be used as part of the Age of Ultron plot.

aBagorn posted:http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=83845 It wouldn't be out of line of have Tony create Ultron. I was just looking forward to tying Pym into the story and including him in Avengers 2, so that makes me sad. At the very least, can we still have Ultron become sentient after coming into contact with Scarlet Witch, falling in love with her, and then flipping out in a jealous rage because she is in love with her brother?

Ofc. Sex Robot BPD posted:I thought it was a cool idea that was maybe poorly executed, or at least poorly explored/developed. LtKenFrankenstein posted:This sentence is Spawn in a nutshell. Which, honestly, is why a new Spawn movie wouldn't be the worst idea, if handled by competent people. Spawn is an OK concept when looking at its basic story, and a movie is all about boiling the formula down to fit within a runtime of a couple hours. Combining these two things SHOULD work to make a decent movie. But then again, we did end up with the previous Spawn movie. Maybe someone should just make a live-action Maxx movie instead and really gently caress with everyone.
