It does seem to be just slightly brighter than Cavill’s suit and it’s got the trunks, thank Christ...but, it looks a little too padded (likely because we’re so used to seeing every suit in Superhero movies where they’ve digitally removed any creases) and has the New 52 Mandarin Collar, which I’ve always kinda hated.

His performance in that one moment might have been the first time I ever teared up in a movie. If not the first, it’s certainly one of the first times.

And, again, if the artist understands the assignment and how to properly convey what the writer is attempting to get across, so can a comic.

The reason you don’t often see stuff like that in comics often is because the writers and artists usually have to work so quickly, because they’re doing 4 books and a dozen covers

I just...I genuinely don’t know how you make this IP work in live-action, or how anyone could think going that route is a good idea.

Regardless of how good the script is, how spot on the cast may be, how incredible the score, or the effects or whatever, no matter how much money they throw at it none of the visual

Remember when Insomniac’s Spider-Man came out and there was a huge (Internet huge, not real world huge) stink about the NYPD in the game being portrayed as largely decent and helpful, rather the pathetic bullies and racist murderers they are in real life?

Diamondback, of the Serpent Society...not to be confused with the other Diamondback, one of Luke Cage’s villains.

Saw Red Hulk coming miles away, there was literally no reason to recast or ever bring the character back if they weren’t doing it.

I love Sam, and am pretty excited to see Liv’s Betty Ross back, but very little else about this has me excited.

Anything, literally anything, that can be done in a novel can be done in a comic...it just takes an artist that can properly visualize it.

So you literally didn’t pay attention at all, or you never saw it, because the snap happens in Infinity War, not Endgame.

Half of these aren’t horror movies...

For some reason being that Supernatural’s rating just continued to increase season over season. I’ll always think of those first 5 seasons as the “canon” run, but it’s kind of wild that the show managed to keep going for another 8 seasons and (by and large) maintain a pretty consistent quality.

I’m genuinely curious how stuff like this actually sells. Like, I would get it as a comic like Batman ‘89 or motion-comic style “animated” movie but...as a novel I just kind of fail to see the appeal.

It wasn’t Marvel’s obsession, it was specifically Ike Perlmutter’s, who saw them as the X-Men replacement for the MCU while Fox still had the rights...despite literally no one in the history of ever giving a shit about the Inhumans, outside of the pretty good 12-issue run by Jenkins & Lee in the late 90's.

Feige and Co.

Snyder’s direction in DotD is solid (primarily because he hadn’t found the majority of the lazy tricks he would lean on for the rest of his career yet) but, it cannot be understated how much of the success of that film, which honestly has zero goddamn right to be as good as it is, absolutely has to be attributed to

See, everyone thinks of Guardians as a risk, and it was to a certain extent...but not nearly as much as folks assume.

Anyone who was familiar with Gunn’s work up to that point knew his sense of humor, how he worked with actors, and what he was capable of as a filmmaker. All he was lacking was a budget and a captive audi

I would argue that Winter Solider is where Marvel showed they could successfully shift their formula into broader genres, and then almost immediately abandoned that experimentation to make everything more generic.

That is, in my opinion, why we’re seeing so much talk of doom and gloom around the MCU currently. It isn’t

Angry, not at all.

Exhausted by all the racist, sexist, bigoted, “anti-woke” fuckwits who just have to lets us all know how angry they are at every single possible opportunity, absolutely.

Hey, moron assholes posting about DEI and gender-swapping and blah blah, shit that only the worst people complain about, take two goddamn seconds to remember than this entire arc of the MCU is the MULTIVERSE Saga.

The story here isn’t that they’re doing an alt version of an established character, it’s that they’re

Please do like 30 seconds of research before posting, dipshit.

Point taken, and I definitely don’t attribute the failures of Pascal and Arad as anything but ineptitude in terms of superhero IP, their track records speak for themselves...but Rothman did actively, “allegedly”, try and sabotage Wolverine Origins (which I think most would agree he basically succeeded at), it’s all pre
