They'll do Digital Boseman, but it'll be in the Ancestral Plane when Shuri sees him after becoming the new Black Panther and we'll all cry like at the end of Furious 7

They can swerve around digital necromancy by having him be embodied by the Panther Spirit Bast in the ancestral plane.

The movie writes itself with opening on T'Challa's funeral, prompting Shuri to take up the mantle, relying on her tech skills to bypass the lack of spirit flower. She teams up with M'Baku and a globe-trekking search for another garden ensues. She hits her low point with failing tech and receives a vision with the Ancestors showing her that the flower was just a means to forge a connection with the spiritual world and instead she mainlines Bast.

Then M'baku is elected to rule and Wakanda gets rid of the ruling monarchy.

I woke up to an article where John Boyega called Disney Execs out for giving all the story to the white kids in the movie and sidelining the poc, and I think he'd do wonderful things if he has as much input at Boseman apparently did.

But since Marvel is a Disney joint...

Yeah I haven't seen Dark Phoenix, but as I recall the ending shot of the phoenix shadow on the water in X2 was miles better than any of the phoenix imagery in X3.

DP was... weird. Because she obviously had some power jump in Apoc, but then in DP she absorbs space dust and that gives her super-powered angst or something.

X2 is what I was thinking in terms of buildup.

X2 has all these scenes about using your power responsibly, Pyro turns, Xavier gets mind-controlled, and you have Jean at the end Going Through poo poo but using that power in service of saving her friends.

So an outsider could be like "whoa she burned herself out with that last push" and the Phoenix water hints at something else maybe or just a nice poetic ending.

It's just a shame that X3 turned out like that because it was a seriously cool cliffhanger they squandered.

L Parker being a wiener nerd who gets bullied because he's smart and likes science. Oh dear god! My job is basically herding teenagers and the idea that someone would get bullied because they are smart and are good at things that will make them successful in life is alien to them.

Homecoming really nailed the aspect of social outcast that worked best for that version of Peter: he's poor, incredibly gifted, but doesn't have the social capital or means or indicators of wealth that Flash does so he's open to mockery in the pecking order.

And what worked with MJ was she totally didn't buy into anything that was going on.

Pete could totally be rocking a skateboard, but I think it would have to be one with mismatched wheels while his peers are taking SelfDriving Teslas

Redoing the movie as a miniseries feels like a whole lot of risk for extremely minimal reward.

I still feel the movie would have been stronger if they'd made Stark Sr an rear end in a top hat that stole ideas from Vankos father. It's rumored this was the original pitch that later got changed because they didn't want one to paint one of the main characters in that Agent Peggy spin off as a bad guy

It's not even that hard to go "cold war, we stole secrets left and right" or whatever. poo poo, say Vankodad was HYDRA or something.

He said he's not using any Whedonshots in the film.

4 minutes obviously doesn't count stuff that's been pre-viz'd and he's probably not counting things that were storyboarded or roughed? That's the only way it makes sense to me, as "I always planned for a 10 minute fight with Steppenwulf and the league but here's a few bits where I decided some new poo poo could be useful, 4 minutes worth."

The design itself is horrendous too.

I'm hoping that the armor looks better in action. If it's dynamic and reacts to the environment (changes shape, bristles, breathes) then it might save the design.

It reflects the kind of recursive design of the motherboard, but in a different direction with the spikes.

This has me thinking (and I guess side warning as this will go to some Star Wars and Marvel stuff too) but with these big tent pole movies that are supposed to launch a thousand sequels and whatnot is there any thought process into the long game as far as story is concerned.
BvS felt disconnected from Justice League where it could have more directly lead into it but it felt (and I am probably right about this) that they didn't even have a plot outline for Justice League when BvS came out which just seems like bad planning now.

Sequel Trilogy was absolutely a mishmash because their planning was "Let JJ 'mystery box' a bunch of poo poo, get 2nd director, get 3rd to fini".

No one stopped to think we should probably get a rough throughline for the characters and get their basic story done after JJ got his claws into it, and, well... yeah.

I mean it's absolutely bonkers to remember how exciting TFA felt and how much of a wet thud Skywalker was because JJ just ignored TLJ.

And part of it is, does it matter? They'll make 800million anyway. Why bother with all that work that can get leaked and ruin things.

BvS/JL actually do have some planning and poo poo. Aside from BvS spiraling out of the Metropolis Massacre, JL was supposed to build to Darkseid discovering that a crucial part of the Anti-Life equation was found in the Codex that Superman carries in his DNA from MoS. JL was supposed to play off this Wounded King thing where Batman, spurred by Superman's sacrifice, gathers everyone and eventually sacrifices himself in the final film having resurrected Clark, inspired unity in the rest of the team, etc

And what was the follow-up plan to this? Because obviously that would never stick.

So in the Snyder JL plan, The JL faces off against Steppenwulf and is overpowered at the last minute by a giant explosion that kills everyone. Flash does the 'run faster than ever' thing to shoot back in time and prevent the disaster, saving everyone and vanquishing Stepp.

Knowing that Darkseid is out there, JL2 picks up with Bats proposing a Unilateral Preemptive Strike against Darkseid, which proves a disaster. The League is stuck off world while Darkseid attacks earth.

They return to find a transformed Knightmare Earth. Billions are dead. Lois Lane among them, causing Superman to fall to Anti-Life. Darkseid extracts the Codex from his body, spreading Anti-Life across the cosmos.
Flash, Batman, and the remains of Cyborg travel back to JL-time to issue a warning about the failed attack, but Flash is caught between time and torn apart.

The past league remain on Earth, fending off Darkseid. Batman sacrifices himself to (protect Lois, I think) and (destroys Darkseid with a God Killer bullet?).

Batman is mourned as a hero.

You know reading this makes the Justice League sound incompetent.

Yeah, though I think in practice it was supposed to be more like they were overconfident/outclassed and needed a huge hail Mary to save it, with Lois at the center of it all.

I reread some finer points and
Flash's time-travel save at the end of JL is supposed to foreshadow how Cyborg, Batman and Flash work on building the Cosmic Threadmill in the ruined Knightmare future of JL3. Flash was able to get lucky and jump to right before Steppenwulf defeats the league, but the jump they plan requires more calculation since Snyder makes it so there's only two windows where Flash wouldn't pop into the middle of the earth/space.

Batman and Superman have a falling out when Bruce's plan to place Lois in the Batcave fails and Darkseid kills her, leading to Clark's fall.

This would be what Flash prevents in JL3, leading to Batman sacrificing himself to save Lois.

ImpAtom posted:

It sounds pretty plainly like

Nah, since Flash is the only one able to travel on the treadmill. it's basically a long-winded way for Bruce's personal growth.

BvS is him coming to terms with being wrong and that Superman can represent something better and something worth fighting for.

JL is him gathering everyone and learning to rely on them/trusting.

JL2 is the low-point where his plans fail and he's left to sift through the wreckage because he forced a confrontation they weren't ready for.

and JL3 is learning to sacrifice for the future/for someone else's benefit, I guess.
