So, Spider-Verse won a BAFTA and everything it was nominated for at the Annies. Do we think it might get the Oscar?

I think so, it has the momentum and it has the narrative and once you start winning, you tend to keep winning. It helps that it is a genuinely exception film that even people who don't give a gently caress about superheroes enjoy.

Audible reactions are pretty normal in movie theatres in my experience, expected and frankly very welcome, but I'm in Chicago and we're a live theatre town so we're probably all operating under a similar set of expectations. Still, I can't imagine seeing a film and just sitting there in stony silence, I guess if the film was really terrible maybe?

I took it that way but maybe that's just because as an X-Men fan my go-to space jerk empire is the Shi'ar which is expressly that way.

Winter Soldier is remarkable steady in it's fight cinematography, honestly it has probably the most coherent choreo and filming I've ever seen. The design of the fights is absolutely exquisite, it's logical and martially sound (or at least internally consistent) and when you watch the fights you can actually follow what's happening, the camera work is definitely dynamic--and having just rewatched the Batroc and highway sequences they're even moreso than I'd remembered--but I think it's more the editing than the cinematography that gives it that feeling. Despite the fast cuts and the camera movement the Winter Soldier fights still are easy to track and feel very cogent for want of a better word.

Civil War feels really shakey cam to me, to the point that I found it disappointing because the Russos in Winter Soldier struck such a good balance. Maybe it's a terminology thing but to me shakey cam obscures the fight work and Winter Soldier uses the dynamism of the camera work to heighten the fights. I'm also a stage fighter and sometimes violence designer (for theatre rather than on camera though I have studied it some) so my perspective is very specific.

I'm really into the idea of Anson Mount as Reed Richards. Plus it doesn't matter that he technically played Black Bolt because nobody watched Inhumans and who cares anyway?

It's also related to the specific wording of the enchantment on Mjolnir "Whosoever holds this hammer, if they be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor." Since Jane was worthy and Odinson was not, she took over the title wholesale.

No because Thor's worthiness was intact. If they had picked it up in the first two acts of Thor 1, then yes. It's the same thing as Beta Ray Bill.

I should know the answer to this, but is Mickey actually genuinely for-realsies no-foolin’ becoming public domain in 2024?

Yes-ish, as I understand it, the version of Mickey Mouse as he appears in Steamboat Willie will be public domain but no other versions will. The consensus seems to be that copyright extensions are done so we'll see more and more stuff slipping into public domain for all the good it's likely to do.

I thought nothing had been released, I just wondered if they had a release schedule. Surprised they didn't try to get one or two of them out for the launch.

Poor phrasing on my part, I should have said no release date has been announced yet. It is strange that they didn't have anything ready to go at the jump even with the complicated nature of filming series like that, you'd think they'd have planned it better.

The X-movies are the most authentically comic book in that way. Wild swings in characterizations and overall quality, continuity that doesn't quite fit together, reboots and retcons galore, it's like the real thing.

I've been hoping for a Young Avengers thing for a while now. Don't need to have the comic Young Avengers, though Kate, America, Teddy and Billy are all characters i really, really want to see, I could accept them throwing Peter and Shuri in that group. Though we know the Hawkeye series is going to give us Kate, and I'd not be surprised if Wiccan and Speed exist because of WandaVision.

And Cassie.

They can still give her the Wasp powers though. I always liked when Cassie has both Ant-Man and Wasp powers, and that fits better with the movies as well.

It would be a nice way to integrate Hope into it more, which I'm in favor of even in the face of Evangeline Lily's recent... bad takes on the times in which we live.

I wouldn't say Renner is a misfire on the level of Finn Jones, but I also wouldn't have minded if they'd cast somebody who was a little less of a potato. That being said, I don't think even Marvel's steroids could make Tudyk a believable fighty guy.

I was going to say that Renner is the younger choice too but he's actually a few month older than Tudyk somehow. Alan Tudyk is an absolute goddamn delight and I've never heard anyone say anything bad about him as a person. I don't know who I'd want him to play in the MCU though.
