Harley got a cocaine power boost Birds of Prey, so they shouldn't be that opposed to it in theory.

Snowflame would fit perfectly in the Harley Quinn series. Which I suppose Suicide Squad is the natural companion to.

On the one hand, sure, but on the other hand, acknowledging that they released a teen-targeted book at the height of the crack epidemic that had a badass cocaine-powered villain would be one gently caress of an unforced PR error.

Nobody cares about the comic books, least of all a short lived series known for being an embarrassingly bad and misguided attempt at a Captain Planet type series that's only remembered because one villain ended up being hilarious.

They won't use Snowflame in the movies because I imagine Hollywood executives would feel uncomfortable with associating their favorite past time with a supervillain

He welds dogs to people's face. I've been seeing some people talk online that the 'TDK' character Nathon Fillion is playing is actually Arm-Fall-Off-Boy

People are really rabid for this.” Are they really though? Lmao.

I’m certainly not going to see it if it’s not set in 1983 and doesn’t end with a middle-aged white cop and nurse being magically transformed into two hot young possibly immortal Sioux people.

I'm definitely not going to go see it in theaters but I'll rent it just to see the last X-Men movie made before the buyout. Everything from here on out is just going to be MCU Franchise #25.

I like more of the Fox X-Men movies than I don't, and stuff like Logan or Deadpool would absolutely not happen under Disney. Deadpool might keep going since it's been making good money but I wouldn't expect anything new from them to be even remotely risky. New Mutants is probably not great but it looks to be going for a different tone than anything Disney has put out and if there are going to be a million super hero movies I'd rather that some of them try to have their own identity.

That director put his foot in his mouth in that interview but I find the timing here strange. This movie has been in the can for like 3 years, right? How is this just now being noticed and raised as an issue? Feels like some 11th hour controversy drummed up to get people to hatewatch/thinkpiece the movie. Completely agree that they should not have cast that guy in particular, there are plenty of Afro-Brazilian actors who could've pulled it off, just seems weird that it is coming up now.

The criticisms of the casting certainly existed (the interviewer is, in fact, asking about those existing criticisms), and this specific tweet is in response to the interview which was just published yesterday. Also presumably there was at least some benefit of the doubt about the casting until the director straight up answered "I don't care about racism but lighter skinned people seem richer to me"

Not wanting Disney to make Marvel movies is fine but don’t pretend Sony has done anything really worth a poo poo for the past 30 years they’ve had the license. They’ve made 13 x-men movies and maybe 3 or 4 are legitimately good. They couldn’t make money off Spiderman for fucks sake.
