Spacebump posted:The X-Men movie world is kind of grim. Just a few decades after WW2, the United States funds the creation of robots that's only purpose is to genocide mutants. This is why X-men rule even when their movie franchise is a horrible mess dragged by way too much poo poo Most other superhero comics and movies are about preserving the status quo from invaders or corruption, while the core idea of X-men past the initial Kirby/Lee run is that the world is a horrific place that wants to kill you and you shouldnt trust people in power at any point in time. Your parents are either real or metaphorical monsters, the president is one signature away from authorizing another madman to vivisect you at his whim (and if you are born not in the first world - you are probably already sold on slave or organ market), your teacher WILL fail you either from hubris or from going mad with power. Maybe someone will try to make you a false catholic pope or a vessel of space force. watch disney make them cops of course fatherboxx fucked around with this message at 09:29 on Feb 3, 2021 |

For whatever reason, I like it a lot more than Ianucci's previous show, In the Loop and I want him to do an adaptation of Marvel's Illuminati. In case you don't know, it's the Marvel Universe's ruling group, comprising, at one point, Iron Man, Dr Strange, Namor, Professor X, Black Bolt and Mr Fantastic. They, for instance, decided to send Hulk away from earth and they think they've got the marvel universe's best interests at heart. The only issue is that they're always wrong. This is played for grim dramatic irony, as their sins catch up to them. I want to see it played for laughs. Doom to Illuminati: “I’d love to stop and chat but I’d rather have type 2 diabetes.” or “When I need your advice, I’ll give you the special signal: which would be me being sectioned under the loving mental health act.”

josh04 posted:One reason I would be tempted to read the comic is to find out how much of the Buffy/Justice League pastiche tone the cartoon has is new for the show, because it doesn't feel like either the kind of thing that would get written in 2005 or that would work well in a comic. Invincible was initially sold on the promise of being "superhero soap opera", and it was that for the most part, but then the ridiculous violence ramped up and it became nonstop Murderman vs moustached aliens. Buffy pastiche worked well for A LOT of comics around that time because Buffy was inspired by X-Men in the first place

Marvel Comics tried really hard to push Inhumans and pretend that X-Men are a second rate franchise but once the Fox deal was finalized they finally let A-list writers and artists to work on X-Men and started like a dozen new series with a very cool weird sci-fi (but completely unfilmable, thankfully) direction. Eternals are better than Inhumans because the chariots of gods stuff is more interesting than the very iffy eugenics and noble royals bullshit that always goes in the Inhumans stories. that trailer is no DUNC though

Venom 2 good It embraces comedy full time without going into just quips, making monster mash scenes the weaker part of the movie, especially with PG 13 choking it. You can see Serkis going for fun violent scenes of eviscerating random people like Gunn did in Suicide Squad, but the camera always cuts before there is a jucy chomp or strangling. LETHAL PROTECTOR The resolution was pretty unexpected, no redemption for Shriek, Cassidy gets munched, Eddie goes into exile setting for MCU adventures. I am a turbonerd but even I didnt get what were those blue eyes on Stephen Graham. Is it King in Black poo poo?

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:How can you have a law making it illegal to broadcast media depictions of gay relationships in a positive light, but also have your government-run ratings board decide that a movie depicting a gay relationship in a positive light is allowed to play, but it gets an automatic 18+ rating? Because the fig leaf of that law is "corrupting children is bad" so presumably slapping 18+ prevents children from learning horrible unchristian things. Any school teacher who ever mentions they are gay is going to be blacklisted for life on a report from a concerned citizen but gay people are free (until further notice) to discuss gay stuff in stictly 18+ marked spaces that pure children eyes can never ever see. Maybe that excuse saves the state from even more human rights abuse accusations than there are or maybe its just another ~genius~ gotcha that our lawmakers love to be smug about. Even the Emma Watson Beauty and the Beast got 16+ rating and it seems that its easier for Disney to slap that than spend resources on making special edition - it doesnt really affect ads or number of showings in cinemas.

Like, the proper version of that kind of villain teamup story would have been: vindictive assholes find themselves alive, make an alliance to kill the poo poo out of Parker, bicker endlessly and gently caress over each other, entertaining the audience with character actor showcase. Instead the focus seems to be only on Spider-Man making the deal with the devil while things happen around him. Maybe its just the trailer and in the end Dafoe is going to shout at Jamie Foxx but I wouldnt get any hopes up.

The problem with crossing X-men with other heroes in comics is that the latter always look like extremely annoying cops in those. It worked extremely well in Dark Reign because, well, the villains took over, but in general you dont want your prime heroes look like conservative dweebs (unless you want to work that audience)
