Hancock was a good movie imo and even though the "twist" was dumb I thought it was a good take on the "super hero who just wants to be a regular guy but the world + his conscience won't let him" cliche

I will probably also enjoy this movie because I have low standards, if it's good I'll genuinely enjoy it, if DAMAGED Joker is terrible I will just laugh at it and still enjoy it

Monkey Fracas posted:

lazy drunk with superpowers is a good movie pitch I think

try it again Hollywood, please

The original pitch for Hancock was an incredibly dark movie called "Tonight He Comes" which ends with him going on a rampage and murdering dozens of police and trying to rape a woman but Hollywood wasn't quite ready for grimdark superhero poo poo back then so they turned it into a wacky comedy. I hope everyone enjoyed the surprise new ending to the film, it took them almost a decade of rewrites to come up with that!

From left to right, their names and their special abilities:

Slipknot: has unbreakable ropes
Boomerang: has boomerangs
Enchantress: can cast magic spells
Katana: samurai
Rick Flag: fighter pilot military guy
Harley Quinn: hangs out with the Joker
Deadshot: expert sniper
Killer Croc: super strong, invulnerable skin
El Diablo: can control fire

This would have worked if they had gone for a Guardians Of The Galaxy route with this film. I'm not even sure why they have such a grimdark movie with a cast of unknown characters. I'm betting that the reason it's being made is because it's going to be more of a Joker movie than any of these characters (excluding Harley).

If the Suicide Squad were all rear end in a top hat wisecracking smartasses who were forced to work together even though they could barely tolerate each other (like the Guardians of the Galaxy) it could be an awesome fun movie but DC don't seem interested in making awesome fun movies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpu6yPAFHrs He's not making that up, either. It's real, it's made by a lot of the old animated-series/JLA people, and it's dumb as hell.

I don't think she shows up in the movie, though. Pretty sure she's dead after that.

The other two shorts they made to hype this up don't mesh with this one at all. DarkWonderwoman just likes to have sex and is sort of snarky. DarkSuperman isn't even all that dark. He might kill a person if it looks like there's no other way, but he's pretty sorry about it and doesn't do it because he wants the blood inside them.

Nah, DarkSuperman kills the gently caress out of all sorts of people in the movie and doesn't feel the slightest remorse. "Oh you're a terrorist?" /snaps neck
Also in this version he wasn't raised by the Kents in Kansas but by Mexican immigrants (he's an illegal alien, get it?) so he's not so keen on all that "Truth, Justice and the American Way" stuff.

The fact that we had Michael Keaton play Bruce Wayne/Batman in the 1989 movie is still amazing but he wasn't their first pick:

quote:

Parallel to the Superman casting, a who's who of Hollywood top stars were considered for the role of Batman, including Mel Gibson, Kevin Costner, Charlie Sheen, Tom Selleck and Bill Murray. Burton was pressured by Warner Bros. to cast an obvious action movie star, and had approached Pierce Brosnan, but he had no interest in playing a comic book character. Burton offered Ray Liotta, then an upcoming actor, a chance to audition after having completed Something Wild, but Liotta declined, a decision he regrets. Willem Dafoe, whom was falsely reported to be considered for the Joker, had actually been considered for Batman early in development.

quote:

Tim Curry, David Bowie, John Lithgow and James Woods were considered for the Joker. Burton wanted to cast Brad Dourif, but the studio refused. Robin Williams lobbied hard for the part.

That's because she is a lost traveler from a parallel universe of super edgy poo poo.

Neil Gaiman was guest writer on one issue of Spawn and co-created the character with Todd McFarlane under the understanding that they would share ownership of the character but McFarlane later tried to gently caress him over and deny him any of the profits from the collected reprints of that issue amongst a bunch of other shady bullshit. Gaiman took him to court and won (and donated the money from that to charity) and in a later private settlement he gained full ownership of that character. He then immediately sold it to Marvel (allegedly for just $1) as the ultimate "gently caress you" to McFarlane.

whoah forgot all about rogen's green hornet. was it his fault that movie was so forgettable?

There's a lot of people to blame for that lovely film but most of the blame has to be put on Rogen since he starred in it, co-wrote it and co-produced it.


Gatekeeper posted:

at the time i remember thinking he was good in the role but the film itself was unfortunately boring. funny guys being super is cool (the ironman is a good example, or barry lyndon in the film barry lyndon) but the story still has to be not dumb. seth rogen is definitely a funny enough dude even if his particular brand of rambunctious judaism is a little played.

I just looked up the history of the Green Hornet film and the poo poo that made it onto the screens was the result of almost 20 years of Hollywood dickwaving development bullshit. George Clooney was originally signed to star in it, then they wanted Greg Kinnear, then they went for Mark Wahlberg, then it went quiet for a bit, then in 2003 they were trying to find a car company to buy product placement rights on the "hero car" and help develop the script (they didn't even have a script or a director or a lead actor at this point, they just wanted to nail down that sweet product placement cash before they started in on any of that less important stuff), then they signed Kevin Smith to write it and he wanted Jake Gyllenhaal to star in it, then someone said "Just hand all this poo poo over to Seth Rogen" and four years later the film finally came out.

Oh and Nic Cage very nearly ended up playing the main villain but dropped out when he saw that Seth Rogen was taking the script in a "different direction" than what he was comfortable with. You know a film is in a lot of loving trouble when Nic Cage goes "Eh, you just keep all this cash, I'll save my dignity and wait for something better." :v:

Deadpool was recently revealed to be a walking organ farm and every so often, he'd get knocked other and have some organs taken from him after which he'd wake up none the wiser since he just grows them back. The latest Marvel Zombies also has a strong up Deadpool with the top of his skull cut off with the implication that the undead that have him captured get free refills on his brains and need not go out and hunt or go mindless from lack of food (though in previous Marvel Zombies, it was shown that the hunger could be beaten and it was more of a compulsion than a biological need).

There's a webcomic called Strong Female Protagonist where they have a character with Wolverine's abilities who tries to be a superhero and eventually comes to the realisation that she'd save a lot more people's lives by volunteering as an organ donor and having her organs harvested by surgeons as often as she can grow them back.
