I've been rewatching the marvel movies and it's interesting to note that there are no midcredit scenes until Thor 2, which had both mid she post. (hulk had one, but no post credit)

I thought Avengers was the first to do a mid-credits scene, with the Thanos tease

The guy saying "coward" on TV is Thomas Wayne

That actor also played a politician in Dark Knight Rises, and I didn't realize he's playing Thomas in this, so for a brief moment when I saw him I thought they were tying this on to the Nolan movies somehow.

It did well but I have never met a single person who liked it. It feels like it succeeded on inertia.

I really hope it's a smaller, side role and they have more announcements to come. I just can't believe they're going with Catwoman and Penguin

There's Paul Dano playing the Riddler too. Plus imdb says John Turturro will be playing Carmine Falcone apparently, I don't remember hearing that casting announcement.

I have a feeling it's not going to quite be a Superhero VS Supervillain movie. Maybe something more like showing Batman building himself up as a vigilante hero in Gotham.

Main villains will be Penguin and Riddler (or maybe just one? who knows)

This makes me wonder if they're drawing inspiration from Gotham. That'd explain having a good-looking Penguin.

I'd honestly be fine with them cribbing from Gotham, I felt that show nailed the Batman aesthetic/tone. Plus they had the perfect Riddler.

Honestly, aside from Ryan Reynolds - who else is there from the Fox movies that you would want to keep after how their X-Men poo poo ended up?

Stewart is 100% too old beyond a one-offcameo. Same for McKellan. We know Jackman is done. Lawrence was phoning it in for a decade, and also hates the role.

Fassbender for sure I would love to see kept on, but I get the impression he hates the role too. I like James McAvoy although I don't think he is as strongly associated with the character as Stewart was, and could be recast.

Ironically, the only other one I would like to see back is James Marsden as Cyclops, who was tragically wasted in the original movies.

I'd be fine if they kept Nicholas Holt as Beast

I need to actually watch the shows one of these days, they sound exactly like the sort of comic book nonsense I love. But I tried 'Arrow' and the first season is such a joyless slog, and I feel compelled to watch ALL of the series so I can understand any crossover stuff.

I'm still operating under the hope that Deadpool and New Mutants will somehow stay canon in the MCU without a reboot.
Not sure how though.

Since we haven't seen New Mutants yet, it's possible there's way they can tie it into the current MCU universe. As for Deadpool, since the second one had time-traveling reality-warping stuff (plus, you know, extensive 4th-wall breaking), it shouldn't be a problem to work it in either.

edit: I'm personally hoping they keep Tom Hardy on as Venom, that movie was stupid, and yet still plenty entertaining, and that's mostly due to Hardy
edit2: Though I guess that's Sony and not Fox. Still, my point stands.

Seriously, I'd heard comments and jokes about the wig so many times before actually seeing the movie, and still I was completely unprepared to see the actual thing in all its majesty.

Not sure how I feel about these Bat-vehicle designs, I think I need to wait to see them in motion in the trailer before I can judge. I thought Dark Knight's Bat-pod looked stupid at first until I saw it in the trailer.

I'm optimistic about the movie, though. Matt Reeves is a pretty decent director, and I love the cast.

I'm sure the executives at WB will get nervous that the audience doesn't understand without dialogue to explain stuff, but that's my hope.

Remember that WB also produced Mad Max Fury Road, which has a protagonist that hardly speaks, and that movie doesn't explain every little thing. I'm more concerned about the DC executives though.

Nanigans posted:

Clayface would be real good for a detective story as he can look like whomever. And if they still wanted to keep the big blockbuster poo poo in, he can grow huge and make weapons and stuff for a big fight scene.

Clayface has been one of my favorites since the Animated Series, and this is pretty much my dream of how he'd be used in a movie.

It's one of my favorite Sopranos end-credit beats.

I've never actually watched The Sopranos. I first heard the song from some promotional sampler CD my dad got in the early 2000s called "Songs in the Key of She" with a bunch of songs from women performers. It also had Enya, k.d. lang, and a few others. And Bette Midler, but that was the only song on there I didn't like.

I think I'm the only person who likes Thor 2 more than 1.

After watching Thor 2 the first time I thought it was "even better than the first", but in retrospect I think that was merely due to the climactic action scene with the portals, because now I remember next to nothing else about the movie.

I wouldn't say it did nothing for me, but I agree the ending of GotG2 wasn't as impactful for me as it should have been. Probably because I'd been spoiled on it ahead of time so it lost the surprise factor, but considering my own dad had passed away just a couple years earlier, a "losing a beloved father figure" plot-point should have left me in tears.

Didn't help that I thought the movie had weird pacing issues. The climactic battle feels like it lasts half the movie. I'll give it credit, it's not boring, but it feels like it meanders a bit.

Iron Fist season 2 isn't like, something I'd go to bat for, the villain motivations are just nonsense, but you can tell they made a genuine effort at improving the show in terms of writing, characterization, fight choreography, general visuals, etc. so I feel kinda bad for them they didn't get to do a season 3.

IF 2 is at least more fun than the first season, even if it's still pretty dumb/silly:

Plus Ward Meachum continues to be the best character. The actor that plays him, Tom Pelphrey, is also in the latest season of Ozark, and he is absolutely amazing in it.

I actually still having seen DD S3, Punisher S2, and IF S2.

DD S3 is more even than S2, I'd say it's almost as good as S1 though there's differing opinions. I do love how they portrayed Bullseye's abilities though.
Punisher S2 is a step down from the first, mainly because they cram two completely unrelated plot-lines together, and the Jigsaw one is lacking at times.

I've never watched Jessica Jones S3 though. Season 2 was a whole load of nothing, I hated it the more I thought about it (especially compared to the first season), possibly as bad/worse than IF S1 or Defenders. I just could not work up the motivation to watch S3.

The Question IRL posted:

(The same Age of Ultron argument, all over again.)

The last time this argument about Age of Ultron and Widows line about not being able to have kids came up, I specifically watched the scene where the line is used to see if it was as bad as people say.

And while they could have phrased it better, it's not Widow saying "women who can't have kids = monsters."

If you watch the scene and bear in mind the context for the scene (both Hulk and Widow have been exposed to their greatest fear. Banner is having what amounts to an anxiety attack and wants to justify running away from the world, Widow is trying to maintain a connection with him, Banner then tries to justify why they can never work together. Etc...)

The line is part of a larger, more complicated story beat. It is just badly done as opposed to being an awful character development.

I agree with this, but still if there's so many people misunderstanding the message of a conversation in a movie then that scene has some very bad writing.

Although plenty of people still misunderstand how time travel works in Endgame despite the movie saying repeatedly "You can't actually change the past" that I'm thinking a large number of viewers just sleep during the talky bits of these movies.

Where are y'all getting the "three romances" thing from? The only on-screen potential romance for her was Bruce, unless you're the type that thinks a woman being friendly towards a man automatically means she's interested in him. She was only ever shown as being friends/team-mates with Hawkeye and Cap.

I'm the opposite in that I found Jusice league to be bad but at least tolerable, but I thought BVS was way worse and pretty much confirmed to me that Snyder just does not understand what makes superheroes and the dc characters in particular work.

I liked Justice League better as well, both were pretty lovely movies but at least Justice League was an entertaining mess, BvS was plain boring outside of like two or three scenes, and I felt embarrassed for Holly Hunter being in that movie.

I'm curious about the new cut, but not curious enough to sign up for HBO Max.
