twistedmentat posted:I think in the commentary for Infinity War, they say that due to Peter Sense, he was fully aware of what was going on. Which is why he's so terrified. Yeah, and his healing factor meant his body was trying to physically hold itself together. He was the only person we know of who actually realized he was being wiped out and felt the whole thing. Tom Holland and Robert Downey Jr. improvised his entire death scene and it's been hard for the MCU to reach a similiar level of sadness on purpose. The ending of WandaVision got close, though.

That's what I was getting at with my initial question about Mr. Immortal, who's healing factor seems to outmatch everyone I am aware of (Wolverine, Deadpool, from the top of my head). Would he have turned to dust, completely aware and bewildered by what is happening, trying to scoop the dust back into himself?

Its also possible his immortally just made him one of those who wasn't snapped. Though his immortality seems more based around physical injury and such. Reality making him not exist is not exactly the same thing as getting hit with a bus or being shot in the head.

I think you mostly have to give that to Scott, but not necessarily in the way that you'd think. I think if Scott had come back like a couple days after the Snap had happened he probably would not have gone to the Avengers because he'd have been focused on trying to take care of his daughter. I think Scott goes to the Avengers as he does because deep down he is incredibly pissed off that Thanos stole even more time of him being with his daughter. And he can't get that time back. So he wants to bring back everyone else and give Thanos a big "gently caress You" at the same time.

I think that poo poo hit me at least as hard as the Peter/Tony stuff did like, watch Ant-Man 2 and then watch Endgame, and tell me you wouldn't have smiled and nodded if the Ant-Man/Hawkeye hypothesized alternate ending panned out you know the one

The acting quality in a lot of MCU stuff would probably get awards if it wasn't in a historically dismissed genre.

mcbexx posted:That's what I was getting at with my initial question about Mr. Immortal, who's healing factor seems to outmatch everyone I am aware of (Wolverine, Deadpool, from the top of my head). I honestly can't remember how much, if at all, the MCU went into the cosmology of everything around the Infinity Gauntlet, but originally it made Thanos an omnipotent, God-like being. Hence the stoned Homer questioning Jesus. Thanos supplanted himself in the place of Eternity, who is the embodiment of the cosmos, and only lost it due to his hubris (and potentially his subconscious). Of course later on Marvel power creep brought in things like the Living Tribunal and it's not so clear-cut anymore, but anyway, the "snap" in the original version just disappeared half of all life instantly. Thanos was also able to control who went away, for instance he made sure that his father disappeared. In this version a regenerative power would mean dick all. Obviously it made for more interesting visuals to have everyone turn to dust, and now that it's been weaponized as a meme, well.

Judging by how he described it in the episode, his immortality works the same way it does in the comics. Mr. Immortal can be killed, he just comes back right away. It's possible he got snapped, turned into dust, and then... just came back.

Not that the case he brought in the episode doesn't suit the show's themes far better, but it is funny to imagine an alternate where Mr. Immortal is suing the Avengers for bringing him back because Thanos' snap was the only way he could truly die and he was just tired of living after hundreds of lives, without even the option of suicide.

If he was with Cassie he probably wouldn't have been thinking about it. Because he wouldn't have been dwelling on how he'd missed watching his little girl grow into a young woman like he'd missed seeing her go from a baby into a little girl while he was in prison.

There was a surprise screening of Werewolf by Night at Fantastic Fest, and word was very positive from those who attended. A lot of Tweet reactions in the following article: https://collider.com/werewolf-by-night-reactions-reviews-is-it-good/ Seems to be about an hour long and will be in black and white, the viewers praised Giacchino's directing, the B-movie look and tone and acting. https://twitter.com/TheEricGoldman/status/1574224758383599618 Some BTS on the project from an after screening interview with Giacchino: https://www.polygon.com/23372425/marvel-werewolf-by-night-reaction-michael-giacchino Polygon Article posted:The special’s classic inspirations were behind the decision to present Werewolf by Night in black and white. Giacchino says he shot the special in color, and that the early cuts were in color, but that he was always hoping he’d be allowed to present it in black and white. “So we had a separate monitor that was only showing black and white, so I could still check how it would look.”

I know you meant to write Meyers there but now I want to see Armando Ianucci's version of Batman so badly. As for David Pasquesi, I mistook him for Tom Kenny like I do every time I see him.

It's Deadpool; stupid kind of comes with the territory. Which I don't even mean as an insult or to demean the property; it's just Deadpool is a very silly character that revels in his own silliness. A lot of things about it would sound dumb as gently caress on paper, but they work regardless because of the style, personality and acting in the case of the movies. Reynolds and Jackman have been taking the piss out of each other in a friendly way about their movies for years, so I think it's cool that Jackman is coming back for one more performance to act alongside his friend. I assume Feige backed a money truck up to his house as part of the deal, and I'd hope for his sake that he doesn't go shirtless or something so he can be less unhealthy in his preparations for the role, and can instead just enjoy it as one last ride but it should be fun regardless. Frankly, I'm just looking forward to the first time She-Hulk and Deadpool are on screen together, if it happens, because the 4th wall break should descend into Mel Brooks territory at that point. I wouldn't be surprised if such a scene didn't have them holding scripts as the production team, sets etc. come into view while they talk to the director.

Deadpool is the one franchise where I don't mind bringing back Hugh Jackman wolverine again. Like yeah it's dumb but most of Deadpool is. I bet Wolverine won't be the only Fox X-Men actor we'll be seeing in it, I think the temptation to do No Way Home: Really dumb Deadpool version to close out the Fox X-men franchise is too strong. enki42 fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Sep 28, 2022 |

Alternately, they build up Elizabeth Olsen during trailers and the movie's press tour only to reveal her playing Ralph Boener's cousin in one scene, a bit character called Amanda Waximoff or something.

Film ends when a young real life MCU fan called Gwen Poole crashes the set, double taps Ryan and Hugh because she hates their lol random meta poo poo and the Fox films in general. As the cops slap on the cuffs, Fiege offers her a D+ show. Roll credits.

Either Feige or someone big in the MCU will step through and ask him if he wants a new home. Deadpool turns to camera and shrugs. “Come on, you knew this was going to happen.” Then they walk through together.

I want it to be apparent that Jen and Wade look in different directions when addressing the audience. They both have their own discreet walls. It’s a bit high concept but I would get a chuckle.
