Sir Kodiak posted:Compare Loki first declaring his intention to rule the Earth to a hundred or so random bystanders that happen to be around when he steals the staff to Zod announcing "you are not alone" simultaneously to the entire world through a display of overwhelming technological superiority. Joss Whedon's "Germany battle arena" playset was only so big.

The fact that Man of Steel works as a piece of science fiction about first contact with a bizarre alien race, completely separate from any connection to the previous history of the Superman character, makes it great to me. I'll always love it for that.

Sir Kodiak posted:Is this watchable if I haven't seen the TV show? I've heard good things about it and am curious about the Adam West Batman thing, but not sure I want to dig into a whole series. The movie is largely independent of the show, in that it was originally intended to be the pilot It's basically just an episode of the show that's really long

The show never had any real continuity outside of the cliffhangers in two-parters. As long as you know the bare bones basics about Batman, you shouldn’t have any issue jumping in with the movie.

It's absolutely watchable without seeing the series. There's no continuity or callbacks or anything, it's just a very fun time.

Mecha Gojira posted:No joke or quip in any of the Marvel films will ever be as funny as the toner gag in Man of Steel. And yet, the toner gag might as well be “why did the chicken cross the road” in the face of the “days since last accident” gag.

McCloud posted:What do you mean? Don't you find Loki threatening the way he got sassed by an old man and then chumped by captain america cosplayer?! This clip sucks and looks SO boring, but am I the only person that thinks the Iron Man CGI armor is somehow MUCH worse in Infinity War? I think its probably a few things: the armor in IW is much less plausible than the armor before it and maybe that breaks my brain, and the armor is IW is likely ALL CGI. The armor is this clip actually looks like real, honest to god practical metal, and I seem to remember that RDJ use to actual wear some physical pieces

omg chael crash posted:This clip sucks and looks SO boring, but am I the only person that thinks the Iron Man CGI armor is somehow MUCH worse in Infinity War? Nah, and the Spidey armor is also terrible, they should have at least given it the same texture as the Civil War/Homecoming version. I think the physical suits Downey wore were more a frame of reference thing, I don't know that he ever had fully realized armor suits in the actual movies (maybe a flipped open hellemet and some shoulders for closeups tho?)

I think there was at least one real suit because iirc someone stole it

RBA Starblade posted:I think there was at least one real suit because iirc someone stole it I know there were real suits but I thought it was explained that they used those to understand the lighting and get the proper physical presence of Downey moving in a suit. But scenes of him actually on screen in a fully body shot were otherwise all CGI. I may be way off tho, now that I realize my source is me half remembering it explained in a sfx video somewhere

My favourite part of the Loki sequence is how the one shot choice that makes any real sense is the low angle shot of Loki transforming, because it's exactly how you're taught to show someone as powerful in film school (right before they show you the post election shot from Citizen Kane that subverts this) And holy poo poo that announcement scene is great. It's really otherworldly. It reminds me of the dream sequence in 'Prince of Darkness'

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Like 60% of the shots in the movie are exactly that - directly head on, center framed mid shots. It's a baffling choice. I think we talked about this before, but it's like it's aping a Wes Anderson film

i think the ragnarok shot is good but for basically exactly the opposite reason it'd be posted by a twitter like One Perfect Shot. it's a very deliberately undersold reaction shot that fits waititi's dry humour. these people are in the middle of a very swelling speech about hope and rebirth, then surtr fuckin' mercs asgard and it's just a quiet "oh. never mind, then." ragnarok is probably the best mcu film just on the weight that it has a recognisable direction at all, even if it's wonky and still probably waititi's worst film.

Watching that Loki clip it's crazy how much they fail to sell the idea that a crowd of people should instinctively kneel to him. Are they that stunned by him flipping a car over?

I think that sequence might actually have been the subject of the first movie fight on here. Or, at least, SMG used it as an example of how badly composed it is.

Right, it works for what the joke is but the problem is that the rest of the film is a bunch of similar Office-style deadpan mugging at the camera jokes. It has a style but that style is "movie to have on while you do chores".

But it's not. It's just some random car on the street.

I think I post it every time the "Avengers" and "cars" are mentioned together, but gently caress it. This is, without a doubt, the funniest thing in any Avengers film:

Were Capt Marvel/Finny War 2 Endgame shot in 3D or 2D imax? My local imax is a sweet laser theatre, but the post-production 3d still sucks and is blurry without much bang for buck on the 3d front. Dn't want to get 3d when it isn't offering much.
