I have to say, when X-23,first came on the scene, I thought she was stupid and unoriginal. But thanks to a lot of great writing in the books she's featured in, I no longer dislike her. I'm not a huge fan or anything, but her portrayal in x-force has me interested at least.

You see, .44, we have opinions. Your opinion is appreciated, but when it aims to discredit me for whatever reason - we have an issue. "Nerds like you" and bullshit like that.

Because you just keep going, man.

His proper costume would look goofy onscreen. Would look better if it was closer to the agent x one. Mask is sicccccc as well. It's not as if he is some iconic character like superman or anything, so acostume change is fine, so long as they keep the skull mask in some form or another.

Wolverine Will Be In Japan (Superherohype Copy Pasta):

Fox and Seed are in development on a sequel to "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," which topped the domestic box office over the weekend.

The Seed partners (Jackman and another) have begun planning the sequel, which they are squarely focusing on the samurai storyline originated in the comic series, and whose Japanese locale was teased after the film's final credits. A writer has yet to be hired. Seed will produce.
__________________________________________________________________________

Silver Samurai? The Hand? Keep director Galvin Hood and get new writers. Hugh's gonna be Logan for a sixth time! This just doesn't happen in today's movie industry.

Avengers Coming Together:

Zak Penn is already on board The Avengers [as writer] and he's spending a lot of his time looking into what we're doing with Iron Man, Thor and Captain America, seeing how we're tying it all together. And he's beginning to outline the script now – he'll be doing that over the summer.

Shhhhhhhhhh:

The Deadpool movie has been greenlit. But we should have guessed that... The two post-credit scenes (and there are only two, not 3 or more - end discussion), were pretty much teasers for Deadpool and Wolverine 2. The scenes were specific to their set-ups; Wolverine goes to Japan and the Merc gets his Mouth back, addressing the audience in that Deadpool style.

Gotta say I'm more excited about the Deadpool venture, mostly because of Ryan's involvement. If his past interviews are any hint, he's gunning the shit talking, fourth wall breaking, pop culture spouting, merc we all know. His elevator/mini-massacre scenes are just the tip of the iceberg.

This also mean Fox continues its dead-lock on mutants, I suppose.

'Deadpool' Movie in Development
Starring Ryan Reynolds
Published: 05/05/2009 11:54pm
A movie based on the Deadpool character starring Ryan Reynolds, who played the role in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, is being developed by Fox, according to the Hollywood trades. This is in addition to the Wolverine sequel in development (see “Wolverine Sequel?) and a Magneto film currently planned for 2011.

Reynold’s Deadpool character was featured in one of two special Easter eggs after the credits (see “Two Wolverine Endings”) of Wolverine.

Are they for real? Aside from the look (which I disagree with), it's also a huge under-casting as far as name goes.
With Ed Norton and Robert Downey Jr. playing the Avengers so far, they've really been focusing on gettting great actors with reputations for being such.
They have gone "cool" with their heroes, casting actors with cult followings. The types that fall into the "favorite actor" category for young movie fans.

To cast a relative unknown seems a bit risky for a superhero movie in general, where the title character in effect carries the film and the franchise.
Never really seen something like this. Even the most low-key superheroes are usually casted with star-power in mind.
I'm not cricizing his competence as an actor, since that is yet to be seen. It just seems like a huge fuck-up from all other standpoints.

I was really hoping for Daniel Craig myself.

Jeritron

05-18-2009, 02:07 AM

and with the success of Trek, I wouldn't have ruled out Chris Pine as a Captain America possibility.
Now I would though.

It might have been cool to see Pine take a big leader role, fresh off the success of Star Trek, surrounded by a cast of favorites. It would be a big launching pad for what could be a new "it" actor.

Jeritron

05-18-2009, 02:17 AM

Verdict is still out on how the Avengers movie goes anyways. Are the actors thus far locked for it?
I just get a feeling that it could fall through, or fall apart. There are a lot of variables in a long road to doing something that's never really been done before.
Writing a script that includes that many characters that is actually good is the first obstacle.
Picking the right director is the second.
Satisfying all the egos involved is possibly the biggest hurdle

and whatever the budget is will likely be hard on production. They may have to cut corners.

The first mistake they have made is hiring Joe Johnston to direct the launch movie for the whole thing, setting up the lead character.
Verdict is still out on how well this kid and Kenneth Branagh can do their job. And the casting of Captain America will be a big factor.

To be honest tho, out of all the avengers, thor probably requires the least amount of acting talent.

Just needs to be able to scream, "I SAY THEE, NAY!", and swing his big hammer around.

Literally, his hammer. Not his penis, like you were probably thinking.

I don't know. Having him swing his hammer and yell "I SAY THEE, NAY" without it being unintentionally hilarious is sort of critical. If the actor in question can't sit you down and make you take his being a Norse thunder god seriously... well, it's going to fall on its face, and hard.

Reynolds Dead Serious About Deadpool:

Ryan Reynolds says early discussions with the studio are leaving him confident that they want the Deadpool solo film to be as close to the comic-book material as possible. He adds, "I will husk-fuck a herd of cattle to bring Wade Wilson to life as the real deal." And no, I don't know what that means either. Is it a corn thing? And he adds that there's no reason that a Deadpool movie would need to have much connection with the Wolverine movie, where he got decapitated. The biggest villain in a Deadpool movie will always be Deadpool, Reynolds says, and the movie should be pop-savvy and self-aware, like the comics.

If the legacy cast are not interested in 5 and 6 they'll use those scripts as a platform for a reboot (being that 5 and 6 will be connected stories).

Sony got things on lock as far as Spidey goes. He won't be joining the live action Marvel-verse for some time.

Why does misinformation bother you in the world of comic book movies but not world news, nutritional information, or things of substance?

Have you ever eaten a beef taco at Taco Bell? You have probably eaten ground meal worms. Does that bother you more than some kid telling me Spiderman 4 might not be a go?

Are you seriously assuming my beef with misinformation is exclusive to comic movies? Support this now.

Also, your Taco Bell scenario makes no sense in this context. Partially because I don't give a damn about meal worms, Chalupas are damn good. And mostly because IT'S TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

By the way, Taco Bell likely doesn't put mealworms in their food. I was joking. That's also just a rumor, but in general we deal with serious misinformation everyday. I threw out the news I heard about Spiderman to hear some feeback on it. That's why I prefaced it with "What's this I hear?" I don't have the desire to find the scoops like you do. This thread is the extent of my Spiderman research

Dude, I was ragging on you. Chill out. I was just commenting on general misinformation. I hear a lot of dumb shit in regard to simple things. You were only telling me about another dude, so there ya go. It's a nagging build up of a number of instances, don't take it personally.

Jeritron

08-20-2009, 05:40 PM

I'd just like to see Spiderman restored to its glory. The franchise should have paced itself.
Spiderman 3 was extremely bloated, and felt paranoid about being the potential finale. Way too much going on in there, and as a result the movie was way out of whack.

I like the one villian style of 2, with a focus on Peter Parker as a character. That's where it should have gone from movie to movie.

It's funny, because the assets of Spiderman 3 could have easily spanned two or three movies. Instead they threw Sandman out there with no real setup, completely wasted Venom, and underdid the black suit storyline.
And probably the biggest injustice of all, they took the Harry Osborn storyline that was slowly developed over two movies and threw it away.

The reason this is ironic is that now they're making a 4th, and possibly a 5th. What are they going to do? Use The Lizard, or some other vilain and go back to the one villain formula? Its what they should have done in 3 to begin with.
They've exhausted all their assets and existing plotlines.

Jeritron

08-20-2009, 05:45 PM

I personally thought they should have fleshed out the Sandman storyline properly, and stuck to that for part 3.
During that time, they could have set up the black suit and explored that for a full movie.

Harry Osborn should have stayed on the backburner, while they subtlely built that creepy vengance plot.

They could have ended part 3 with Parker losing the suit, and Venom getting it. Then part 4 would be able to focus on Parker trying to re-organize his life while Venom is running wild knowing everything about him.

Then you still have Harry Osborn ready to go for a final installment. That would be part 5, but if they were able to go for 6, then Lizard would still be open and setup for 5.

To be fair, it wasn't really Raimi's fault that 3 turned out sub par in comparison to the first two. He DID want to focus on one villain, but the marketing machine at marvel studios forced venom on him, and we wound up with that mess. Hopefully they've learned their lesson.

Im not sure i'd like a rebooted Spidey, but i would like for them (by them i mean Raimi) to get off his focus on the love story of MJ and Pete and the Sinister Six villians, and give Venom a nice return, and a proper one at that. I'd like to see the symbiote find its way to another, since they blew Eddie Brock to bits...maybe it finds his father? Eddie snr could be played by someone notably bigger, and more brooding like Vin Diesel (whom i always felt would play a good Venom), and make Venom more alien than clone spidey (by that i mean long tongue, dripping mouth and sharp teeth like an alien from the Alien movies, and all around more like the Venom in the books).

alvarado52

08-20-2009, 07:17 PM

What villains do they have left? The Lizard, Mysterio, Electro, Vulture, Kraven. Can't see any of those guys topping sandman, let alone Doc ock. Best superhero movie fight ever was the clocktower/train fight from 2. Mysterio could possibly do it if they get creative with the illusions, but in the end, it's not a real fight. It's all in spidey's head.

Carnage is out of the question, as an unknowing moviegoer would see him as an unoriginal knock off of the previous film's villain.(because he IS an unoriginal knockoff of venom.)

Yeah, honestly, marvel studios kinda fucked over what could have been a great slow build to the sinister six.

Whaaa? Id say he's more a knockoff of the Joker than Venom, but i could see them doing him right, so long as they tap more into the darker side of the character...after all, the dude was simply a crazed murderer, and the symbiote made it more so. Essentially, to do Carnage justice would be making Spiderman rated R.

He had the same body type, and he was crazy, but not nearly as insane as Joker. They may have tried to implement a few elements of the Joker, but at that time, Venom was HUGE. Way more popular than the joker, and carnage was their attempt to milk more money out of it.

Who the hell does Flash wearing a red jogging suit? Aquaman? even worse. Look at all those Youtube videos people make as a tribute to Clark and his random crushes. X-men first class..unless I am wrong..they would try to bring all types of teen romance to it. Picture the Iceman and Shadowcat deal from the X-Men trilogy times 10.

I liked reading JSA mostly because of it. I liked seeing Flash, Green Lantern, etc talk to the newer heroes and try to introduce them to the world. I thought that the older guys would eventually sort of step down..but nah.
That is one thing I like better about Marvel. I really like reading marvel the initiative. I might be biased with DC because I only read a few titles..but it just seems plain. I feel like Marvel is miles ahead as far as story telling goes compared to DC. Final Crisis was a mess to read..even for some of my friends who have been die hard DC fans for years.

Yeah, DC's crossovers try to do way too much at once imo, just for the sake of being "epic". Marvel keeps the story simple and lets the characters drive the plot. Marvel is more character driven than DC in the first place, which I why I prefer it.

However some DC books are right up there with marvel's best. Green Lantern is probably the best mainstream book around right now. I used to put captain america ahead of it, but CA has slowed down while GL keeps getting better and better. Like I said, Morrison's batman has also been amazing.

I agree about Green Lantern.
I don't know what the hell they are doing with Cap.

GL and Batman are the only dc characters I ever liked, tbh. Teen titans is pretty good too, i guess.

Spidey Updates:

Gary Ross will write the script for Venom and possibly direct it as well. He's already written Spidey 4. He definitely has spiders on the mind.

Sam Raimi is hoping to shoot Spidey 4 in the Spring for a Summer 2011 release.

Teen titans has its positives and a huge negative.

Positives: The anime style, that's more fun than anything else
No Superboy (thank GOD!)
Main Villian being Deathshot
The theme is one of the best ever
The episode where Robin is Nightwing. In fact, a Nightwing series is a good way to go.

Negative:
Deathshot being called Slade because Deathshot is too extreme for kiddies. I understand that his real name is Slade, but that's not the point. Call him fucking DEATHSHOT, god damn it!
