Ugh, the more I think about it the more annoyed I am by that hybrid helmet. Changing it to just be a normal skull shape, along with aging up the character, makes it seem like they don't really have confidence in Robbie's unique design and setting and are just gonna try to make it as generically recognizable as they can. I've no doubt they would've just gone with Johnny Blaze if they could and were "politely" redirected to another option, which just goes to show their lack of freedom no matter how much they claim otherwise.

I mean, if we're going to sperg, the movie Ghost Rider looked a lot more like the Dan Ketch version, right down to the chain and spikes. My guess is that it's hard to make a guy with a flaming skull or skull-like headgear look good and they went with what they thought was best and you're reading way more into it than is actually there.

The Charger looks badass, however.

Or they used Robbie since he and his brother are the hook, so the exact design and the age of the character are secondary to that to fit the AoS theme of family, which the Producers have spoken about previously. As much fun as it would be to see on TV, we were never gonna see Robbie in high school with his friends/rivals who end up working for Mr Hyde etc but if we get that core relationship with him and his brother, then that's super-valuable if done well as it's not like there are many SEND people in the MCU.

That is the most appropriate term for Gabriel Reyes though? At least it's what is used in the UK:

Unless you were just picking up on it plus MCU & AoS in my post, in which case now you know some UK terminology that may or may not be useful.

I honestly thought it was another organization like SHIELD. That makes sense, thanks.

Instead of playing a guy who is possessed by a malevolent alien force, he's playing a guy who is playing a malevolent alien force. Who probably finds a little possession by the end.

Man, I hoped that Dalton would get good things in his future and I am happy that he got the lead in something, but this looks awful. The trailer gets worse the longer it goes. I can sort of see Neil Flynn (That's him right?) playing his dad, but his facial expression only says "How did I end up in this trash movie? I ruined my life.".
Maybe he will find something better than that at some point.

And it's going to play heavy with the conservative right and make a few million dollars beyond its budget and Hollywood will say, "nice" and make another couple hundred Christian-leaning dogmatic movies.

Too late on the Hollywood thing, Universal is doing DVD and streaming distribution for GND2.
