CapnAndy posted:"We're doing another X-Men movie, look at all the characters, there's time travel, it's the past and future X-Men, you know these guys" is not bad work for the first trailer to get across. Hell, I know Fan Bingbing is likely in there just so China knows she's in the movie, but that alone gives me a bit more hope for this one than X-Men 3. At least she kind of looks like Blink, and the guy playing Bishop has the important visual cues down too. It shows a basic level of craft and care that Ratner's film didn't have. Also amused that Charles' level of idealism is apparently inversely proportional to how much hair he has. Still nothing as purely indicative of character as the elevator beat from the Cap trailer though. That made me grin like a doofus, much like the bullies exchange with Tucci in the first one, it's so perfectly in line with who Steve is.

Hemsworth and Evans understand that for their characters to work, they need to commit fully. RDJ, SLJ, even Scarlett can wink at the camera, roll their eyes a little and it fits, Thor and Cap need to be totally earnest. Not stick-in-the-muds, they can be funny, but the fish-out-of-water humour needs to be played sincere, and the honourable nature can't be tongue-in-cheek. In some ways, they're the hardest roles, because you've got to play the pure hero without seeming like a parody.

Of all the callbacks to the previous movies (and the Chris Evans cameo is awesome) I think my favourite might actually be that Kat Dennings' character still can't pronounce Mjolnir.

The desperate cry of a Warner Bros who thought all the discussion of Avengers and JLA movie franchises was just bar talk, the sort of thing you say you'll totally do one day while nursing the night's 3rd pitcher. Then Disney/Marvel totally did it and ruined everything!

Dr. MonkeyThunder posted:I think that got retconned away as using the iron in red blood cells to deprive parts of the brain of oxygen. Then someone realized that meant he could kill nearly anyone, or lobotomize even Professor Xavier at will, and someone got a no-prise for figuring out how little iron is in the bloodstream/entire human body in reference to him. After that he suddenly lost the ability to effect blood-flow more than very slightly. Then you get the situation from X2... and the comically large syringe Rebecca Romijn pulls out.

Strontosaurus posted:"Have you tried not being a mutant?" is my favorite line from any of those movies. It's obviously a joke. Yeah, the absurdity of asking Bobby that is the whole point of the joke. It's highlighting the absurdity of asking a gay kid the same thing. It's not my favourite line though. That would be about a third of McKellan's lines, where he just dips into the camp a superhero movie needs sometimes.  "We love what you've done with your hair."  "You homo sapiens and your guns..."

Interesting that they're going with the Ultimate style looks for Electro and Rhino, but Osborn's still on the glider, instead of the green Hulk/demon hybrid he was in those books.

Ignite Memories posted:Real age doesn't matter on screen. Paul Rudd looks like, 32. The real answer is that Pegg isn't 'leading man material' in the US. His looks are going to pigeonhole him as a supporting player. He can be the wacky sidekick to Chris Pine or Tom Cruise, but I don't see any big studio getting behind him to anchor a tentpole picture.

Yeah, having the Greek pantheon be Kryptonian isn't 'simplifying' Wonder Woman's origin. It's making her into Supergirl. The Marvel stuff works better as an interlaced universe because that notion was already in place with the JLA and such when Stan, Steve, Jack and co created the Marvel characters. They knew Thor might show up in a Fantastic Four issue or two, and that Spider-Man might see the X-Men on TV. Whereas the DCU is a hodge-podge of concepts that were never originally conceived of as co-existing.

that are victims of society literally forcing away their individuality (If Poison Ivy is the movie's caricature of what MRA's think women are and Bane a caricature of 'men can't help themselves they're just monstrous children and women shouldn't tempt them', then Woodrue is a caricature that is simultaneously a white bearded patriarch and the sort of nerds that complain about being incel because of those devious womyn) and Mister Freeze, who takes the ideas of the husband as sole provider and protector to ridiculous extremes because Batman and Robin is about ridiculous extremes.

I actually kind of enjoy Thurman and Arnold too. Thurman more so once you get the faux-Mae West thing she's going for. My biggest issue with the movie is act 3 (the whole frozen city thing) is dull as dishwater. It's visually uninteresting, badly paced, barely acted... I'm also not a huge fan of the bike race, but at least that's colourful.

muscles like this? posted:RDJ's career was on an upswing when he was cast as Iron Man. If it wasn't Iron Man it was going to be something else that got him back in the spotlight. Oh he'd be doing fine, but he'd probably be in the quirky character actor niche that he'd been occupying in stuff like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and A Scanner Darkly, maybe eventually getting back into prestige pictures like his earlier work. I'm not sure he'd be one of, if not THE, biggest movie star in the world as he is now without Iron Man.

There's basically two possible punchlines to this, that I can think of. One is Trevor falling asleep again, like he does in the movie when Stark's interrogating him. The other is something like a jailbreak happening and him slipping back into 'character'.
