Detective No. 27 posted:The name "Captain Marvel" has a long weird legal history. As I remember, DC owns the character, but not the trademark for "Captain Marvel." They can refer to him as "Captain Marvel" within the contents of the books as much as they want. Which is why they've been using "SHAZAM!" on the covers dating back to the 70s when they were merely licensing the character. The New 52 change seems to have been made to simplify it for everyone. The wizard these days is still named Shazam, but he's usually just referred to as "The Wizard" or "The Wizard Shazam." Not to mention that if Marvel Comics doesn't use a character named Captain Marvel after a while, the trademark goes to DC.

Pretty good but short interview with Snyder on BvS http://www.comicbookmovie.com/batman_vs_superman/zack-snyder-says-theres-no-winning-anymore-for-superman-in-a131609 I like this quote: quote:When we find [Clark], he's been dealing with the everyday world of being a superhero, but there's a paradigm shift happening in that the unintended consequences of some of those rescues are starting to come into fruition. He's starting to see that every action has a reaction. Like, if you're just taking a cat out of a tree, you can't touch anything or the arborists will say, 'He damaged the tree branch when he got the cat down.' Or, 'The cat wasn't neutered, so now there's thousands of cats.' There's no winning anymore for Superman." I'll take that as a metaphor for everyone who bitched about Man of Steel not being their Superman.

quote:One person told me that the last act plays out as an emotional horror movie because the film gives both Tony and Steve solid reasoning, and because it truly makes you feel the depths of this schism. I hope that person is getting paid, because otherwise, yeeeeesh.

FlamingLiberal posted:So the two fight, along with the other Avengers. I assume someone is going to get killed off to make the stakes higher. Rhodey is the most obvious choice since that's super personal for Tony. A couple of leaks have said that brainwashed Bucky is revealed to have been the one who murdered Stark's parents as Winter Soldier alluded to, which also enrages Stark.

You'd think he'd be sympathetic to the idea of someone who did bad things while brainwashed. He forgave his big green buddy pretty quickly. He also had to murder his father's longtime business partner. It'll be a tough road to hoe if they really want Tony to come off as evenly justified compared to Steve - I kind of figured he'd be the villainous Batman to Steve's morally righteous Superman.

Luminous Obscurity posted:I would've preferred a 300 treatment of Sherman's March, but sure. If you're going to 300 something, I suggest The Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812. Jackson, militia, freedmen, slaves and pirates vs. the thousand nations of the British Empire. And then it turned out it was just for bragging rights because the war had been over for two weeks.

Apparently, a Suicide Squad sequel is already planned with Ayer and Smith returning. It's mentioned in this article about Will Smith starring in a David Ayer movie about an orc cop written by Max Landis. http://www.thewrap.com/will-smith-joel-edgerton-to-star-in-david-ayers-cop-thriller-bright/

Flash is a loving great show that has a few flaws here and there and sometimes realizes "oh yeah we're on the CW" but it's for the most part loving great. But I don't really want to get on a TV tangent here.

net cafe scandal posted:Wow that looks cool. But Flash is a bad show right. It's been kind of a mess this season but is still mostly fun. The three main issues are that they are basically rehashing the main villain storyline form the first season, they are making the Flash more mopey (when first season he was super positive in direct contrast to Arrow) and they are cramming a lot of characters and storylines and spreading them thin. You still get talking Sharks and Gorillas, time travel, parallel Earths, cool speedster fights and all that other fun poo poo, but with some boring crap in between. Vintersorg posted:Does it make you like this? I've been a fan of the Flash since I was like 5 and found some of my cousins comics and then the original show came out like a year later, and I am also kind of a weepy man child in general. That being said, I don't think I have ever reacted like that. I think Smith might be borderline emotionally unstable at this point.

Dark_Tzitzimine posted:The film is laced with dream sequences for both Batman and Superman that hint at dangers to come – including the possible appearance of DC’s galactic ultra-villain Darkseid. The Flash (played by Miller) appears in one such nightmare of Bruce Wayne’s, delivering a cryptic message to the Dark Knight. Huh, I guess that's one way to do the cameos.
