Xealot posted:onal defect, and joins forces with the pro-government good guys because they're on the side of justice. The same way we got X-Men Origins: Wolverine and then the movie that became First Class. I wish that now that Logan happened we got an R rated Old Magneto movie with Fassbender. I liked First Class a lot but it not just being two hours of "Magneto fuckin demolishes these Nazis" like they initially planned was a slight letdown.

well why not posted:It’s be sick if they got old man McKellan to appear in present day scenes at the start and the rest is flashbacks to magneto doing nazi hunting. Then at the end it skips back and McKellan fucks up modern day nazis as a grandiose conclusion. Would be too good to be true, like look at the state the US is in right now and imagine a movie of McKellan Magneto cutting loose in it at the end

Timeless Appeal posted:But that's why all the Ross stuff seems gross to me, not because the film is CIA propaganda per se--although it has literally been used as such--but that the film both recognizes that the CIA is bad, Ross is at least complicit in imperialism, but gives him a weak redemption arc so maybe the CIA isn't all THAT bad? When he started saying how Killmonger is using the CIA's methods I was briefly expecting him to then reveal how he was working with Killmonger all along to bring Freedom to Wakanda which is why they were so easily able to bust Ulysses Klaue out/etc. Naive of course but in the moment of watching the movie I was just assuming he was going to turn out to be bad or at least conflicted/complicit at some point because as others pointed out I figured like why else is he just a "regular" CIA guy and not from SHIELD or whatever.

Timeless Appeal posted:I kind of have mixed feelings about this because yes, I think what you're describing would make a lot more thematic sense, but also take some agency away from Killmonger. I didn't even think of that and agree. And I wouldn't want it to be a situation where it turns out to straight up be Killmonger's operation with CIA man has his lackey either. Maybe something where the CIA guy is just there to "monitor the situation" would make more sense where like he's reached out to Killmonger and not just Wakanda but they're just not working together. Lord_Magmar posted:The answer as to why he's not from SHIELD is SHIELD doesn't exist anymore at this point in the narrative (it was destroyed in Winter Soldier, or at least made defunct). Like, maybe he was in SHIELD before, but he's in the CIA because SHIELD doesn't exist anymore, in the comics he is from SHIELD in fact. Lord_Magmar posted:My guess is he's using what's left of SHIELD's funding to organise his own system, alongside Skrull resources. This was something I always felt the movies REALLY should have been clearer about or thought through better. Like SHIELD gets wrecked in Winter Soldier, so SHIELD is gone, but Fury just, like, has a fully manned helicarrier he can call upon in Age of Ultron, like the US government just lets him roll around with that even after what went down in Winter Soldier? Also Cap performs a 9/11 on a government building in Winter Soldier but the end of Age of Ultron they just give them a huge facility upstate where he can train everyone or whatever no big.

KVeezy3 posted:To be fair, OP was talking strictly about the superhero films' love of the CIA as a whole. The film does present the CIA as meaningfully trying to protect the world from a super nuclear bomb, but them getting in way over their heads is a pretty good punchline. DKR really is a lot of fun despite its vast liberal energy. I love the inadvertent (?) fourth wall break before the climax when Catwoman says to Batman "You don't owe these people anymore" or whatever and then there's a closeup of Batman's face and it's held just a little longer than ideal to the point where you don't see an battleworn Batman you just see Christian Bale the actor in a batsuit with an offcenter helmet having extreme difficulty breathing because it's the batsuit. It's the best. I also like how continuing from the Batman Begins they did three movies straight of people getting owned because they didn't mind their surroundings lol

Robot Style posted:That was J.J. Abrams' Superman Flyby, which also includes the suit ripping all of 14 year old Clark's clothes off and sucking him inside of it for some reason. That's like Whedon's Wonder Woman where the suit was alive and when Wonder Woman is killed in battle it leaves her corpse and then binds itself to whatever woman it finds first and then that woman is the new Wonder Woman until she dies. Appropriately for all the Venom chat, living suits were a thing in these 00s superhero movie concepts. Like some longterm trickle down of Venom and the T-1000 in the early 90s.

POWELL CURES KIDS posted:Yeah that makes it like five times worse. gently caress, I really gotta watch that show sometime, it sounds incredible. The Bigfoot episode is legit amazing. It has the lowest lows and the highest highs. Starting out with actual honest to god "oh yeah that would make sense" bits about unexplored cave networks near forested area, NOT hollow earth stuff, like specific areas near where bigfoot sightings happened. By the end of the episode it's about how Bigfoot is a human/alien DNA splice servitor race that escaped from its alien overlords but also is the result of Russian genetic manipulation and then there's a CG "reenactment" of a Bigfoot staring sagely towards the viewer in a forest as a UFO's light then shines upon him. Completely loving insane to for a channel called The History Channel to air that show but oh my lord that one episode is a must watch.

thrawn527 posted:I think a Marvel "bomb" will have to be a slow burn of a couple small disappointments that diminish the brand before an actual bomb. I can't imagine one specific movie having a hard drop off at this point. Same, they would have to have a couple of underperforming+not well-liked flicks in a row before a real the-MCU-is-doomed-level bomb happens. I doubt Eternals will be that. I forget what the marketing was like for Guardians but you'll have plenty of "[YOUTUBE PERSON NAME] explains THE ETERNALS" videos and online articles doing the buildup for them. I think that and just the inertia of people talking about the first big new Marvel flick will mean it does pretty well regardless of how unknown the characters are.

Vakal posted:Nah, Spider-man can barely lift a car. In Amazing Spider-Man 365 the Lizard basically collapses half of Penn Station onto his back and he was able to lift it up and get out from under it. I think that was like a major moment around that time where they really establish that he's extremely strong but is holding back most of the time. I remember almost every Spider-Man issue across all his series for a bit after that point mentioning whenever he'd hit someone how like if he hadn't held back that person's head would have gotten crushed in or whatever.

The Last Samurai pisses me off because I don't know anything about its production but watching it, it's extremely easy to see a version where the screen time is reversed between Watanabe and Cruise and it owns. There's already a reporter narrating bits of the movie's story with a voice over and then we got Tom Cruise's in addition. Like was he cast in mid-production or something so everything had to shift to be more about him? Like it's not even much of a white savior story because Cruise is just, like one of several folks working with Watanabe as the story goes on like nothing would be lost with less of him and no voice over narration from him about how spiritual the samurai are and stuff. You could probably make a great movie out of it with a different cut. I still LOL that they had a decent ending with him just wandering off and the voice over basically saying no one saw him again and he probably died of his wounds but then it fades back in and goes on that extra minute because Hollywood.

Mandrel posted:gently caress man, that ending of the last of the Mohicans is so loving good Besides the ending doing that, I really really really loved the scene before where that starts to happen where they enter the indigenous town (I was about to say village but I appreciated how realistically actually built up it was) and their leader and Magua argue a bit about his motivations and stuff. It really was cool how the movie starts out as if it's going to be a typical white savior sort of story and like, Hawkeye is of course very competent but I really liked how the third act of the movie in general Hawkeye and Uncas are Chinachgook's two sons instead of him and Uncas just being side characters. I also liked colonial man sacrificing himself too because like, you want to be a white "savior"? Jesus was executed my dude. It was cool that he accepted that compared to how that character is at the movie's start. Just as rad af movie in general imo.

Mandrel posted:Michael Mann is my favorite director of all time. Other than Blackhat everything he’s made is 10/10 for me. Speaking of that, a specific thing I read about his cut of it is that sort of like Last of the Mohicans it also does a thing where like, the white main character is still the main character technically but everyone else around him gets a lot more focus in the third act. Something like that might make the build up to the final confrontation in it play a little better than it does. Even just knowing that the nuclear meltdown that opens up the movie was originally meant to happen like halfway through the movie makes most of the movie make a lot more sense. I still have to see Public Enemies.

AccountSupervisor posted:The funniest part about WB veering from the original plot arc of the DCEU was how the MCU will always beat them to the punch on everything when it comes to big universe arcs(Thanos/Darkseid, timetravel, multiverse, etc) and that was exactly what the original plan was attempting to avoid. It's especially funny because Justice League dropped a solid year before Infinity War and two years before Endgame, like imagine if they just went with Snyder's version and didn't re-shoot anything they would have genuinely had the arcs and beaten Marvel to the punch at the same time.
