Gatts posted:I dunno, I don’t think illiteracy and proud ignorance is good Oh, no, Teagone is absolutely correct. It owns. It's just that it self-owns. Personally it makes want to strap the guy into a chair and make him watch it start to finish. Maybe bring in a Jigsaw puppet right as the ape scenes to tell him, "Those right there were the only action scenes in this movie."

It's perfectly in line with their delusions that WS was a spy thriller and that Black panther was inspired by the godfather or other such nonsense.

I first watched 2001 when I must've been like 15 or 16 in my pitch black basement at like 1am on a school night on an old CRT TV and it still blew me away. The stargate sequence followed by the room with the old man freaked me the gently caress out and I needed to switch to MTV or something for a second lol

To be somewhat fair even with people in superhero costumes, Winter Solider managed to be less silly than the Pierce Brosnan Bond films. Also Black Panther was the story of a son coming to terms with the darker aspects of his father's legacy, so if you squint and do other things likely to give severe eyestrain, I can see how one might consider The Godfather. But yeah, otherwise those comparisons are overblown bullshit put forth by a bunch of overblown bullshitters. sticklefifer posted:https://io9.gizmodo.com/netflixs-sandman-adaptation-has-found-its-dream-devil-1846150244 I'd have loved them to have just borrowed Tom Ellis for Lucifer and made his stuff in Sandman a prequel to the Lucifer show - which is exactly how it played out in terms of the comics. That said, I'm not disappointed to see Gwendoline Christie getting a meatier role than loving Phasma. Oh, and in other news, "Elizabeth Olsen's" attempted con of me continues and we're getting to the meat of things. The last few exchanges follow: quote:

I was somewhat non serious, just because Ellis has so much charisma, I'd like to see him act more, but he has played that at times when the show rarely decides to get serious and mythological. It's suuuuuuuuuuper removed from the comic though.

Samael in The Sandman is androgyne and there's several panels where he actually looks a lot like Gwendolyn Christie. Tom Ellis in the role could not be less like the character if he actively tried.

And con over from my perspective. My last post:quote:And we're done. This was fun for a bit. I was going to spin out a whole story of how "John" was in Witness Protection because his dad used to kill people for the CIA, but I'm tired now. You're not Elizabeth Olsen. You're some kind of con artist. A legitimate charity would not need to go through this silly crap to get my bank account info. An actual Hollywood star would not be following 20 times the number of people who follow her. And speaking of lovely things and people, you are a lovely person doing a lovely thing. I am a stranger to Elzaibeth Olsen, but outside observation shows that she does a lot of real charity and cares a lot about real disadvantaged people. You have mimicked her identity to con people into giving you access to their information and bank account to steal money. That is a deeply lovely thing to do. I will report you to Twitter. And the FBI. I doubt either of them will do anything. I'll also report you to the Disney corporation. They have worldwide influence. And they absolutely loath anything that dilutes their brand. Which this does. If I could figure out how, I'd report you to Elizabeth Olsen herself, I would. And most likely I will. That bit about how terrifying it is to be the subject of a celebrity's attention? That was real. I hope you "enjoy" it.

The X-Men movie world is kind of grim. Just a few decades after WW2, the United States funds the creation of robots that's only purpose is to genocide mutants. The original timeline is especially grim when considering this. https://xmenmovies.fandom.com/wiki/25_Moments Even in the good timeline created by DOFP, the US government basically forces Xavier to use the X-Men as special ops team or risk them doing nothing about anti mutant sentiment. After saving a crew of astronauts and seeing an alien force invade one of the X-Men, they almost immediately turn on mutants despite any help they've given them over the years. They were clearly planning to do something to mutants at some point based on the anti mutant weaponry they had days after the Phoenix event in Jean's old neighborhood. In general, unless a human is a known friend to the X-Men almost every human is a bigot to mutants immediately upon learning they are near one. The main exception to this is the start of Dark Phoenix when the X-Men go to save the astronauts. Even when facing an unstoppable alien force, humans don't try to work with the X-Men until the train is overwhelmed and basically one solider is left. About a week prior, that solider's son's hero was one of the X-Men. Despite this, he hates them and doesn't consider freeing them to fight the aliens until after his entire unit is basically killed. In Logan, mutants are experimented on well into this decade and there has been a plot to remove them from the genepool by putting chemicals in the food supply. In Days of Future Past, the genocide robots have been extremely effective at their goals.

This is why X-men rule even when their movie franchise is a horrible mess dragged by way too much poo poo Most other superhero comics and movies are about preserving the status quo from invaders or corruption, while the core idea of X-men past the initial Kirby/Lee run is that the world is a horrific place that wants to kill you and you shouldnt trust people in power at any point in time. Your parents are either real or metaphorical monsters, the president is one signature away from authorizing another madman to vivisect you at his whim (and if you are born not in the first world - you are probably already sold on slave or organ market), your teacher WILL fail you either from hubris or from going mad with power.

fatherboxx posted:watch disney make them cops of course Yeah, I mean, if there's a thesis to the MCU it's that moderate centrist governments are a force for good, and (per your point) challenging that status quo is bad. Killmonger is a dangerous radical foil to wise centrist T'Challa. HYDRA is a bunch of genocidal bad guy neo-Nazis who've infiltrated the benevolent SHIELD, a "good" shadow agency that does morally acceptable secret wetworks poo poo. X-Men is entirely about marginalized characters who are targeted, exploited, and dehumanized by power structures as they are. Character conflicts are typically some metaphor for racism, homophobia, ableism, mental illness, trauma...half the time they're not even metaphors. So, yeah, the MCU seems like a lovely place for X-Men stories. Wolverine is like if Captain America only sort of volunteered, Project Rebirth traumatized him into insanity, and Nick Fury spent the next couple decades hunting Cap down like an animal so he could slice his rear end open in a laboratory. But watch Wolverine become Winter Solider: a victim of the bad guys who internalizes his trauma as a personal defect, and joins forces with the pro-government good guys because they're on the side of justice. Magneto *was* right. But they're probably not going to open an MCU movie inside Auschwitz.

The same way we got X-Men Origins: Wolverine and then the movie that became First Class. I wish that now that Logan happened we got an R rated Old Magneto movie with Fassbender. I liked First Class a lot but it not just being two hours of "Magneto fuckin demolishes these Nazis" like they initially planned was a slight letdown.

I don't think Disney has the balls to put anything emblematic of nazis to film anyways, especially in any content directly associated with the MCU. Other than hokey jokes about knocking out Hitler, I can't remember anything about nazis mentioned in The First Avenger lol—been a a couple years since I last saw it though. At best, Disney would use another stand-in like Hydra for Magneto to hunt down.

We don’t deserve a movie where McKellan rips apart every railroad track in a city to defend young mutants from sentinels. Or one where he uses the spire of a tall building as a javelin through a mega sentinel piloted by nazis. I’m available for spec scripts but only on this topic.

Oh yeah, I'm not saying it's impossible to depict fascist dictatorships doing lovely things and have them receive their comeuppance be satisfying. But related to Magneto, I don't know if Disney would ever film the character owning straight-up nazis in WW2 era Germany. My mind immediately "Disney-fies" his backstory in the MCU as a German Jew oppressed by a Hydra equivalent experimenting on "miracles" in his youth so that the brand wouldn't have to worry about any actual nazi imagery in their film series. I'm probably wrong about all this though, lol. Grendels Dad posted:Red Skull vaporized some regular Nazis to establish that he is, like, twice as evil as them. See also: HYDRA's double-Nazi salute.
