My reaction to MoS was "This is a movie for people who don't like Superman, by somebody who doesn't like Superman."

3/5ths. You'd still have Snarky Businessman Doom.

I think Zuck/Luthor is a great idea for an update to the "businessman Luthor" hook that's been the character's standard background since the 1980s.

He wouldn't take his wristwatch off, either; it was a gift from the president of Mexico.

It doesn't help that Dozier Semple himself openly disdained the comics and their creators and fans.

Obviously not the most faithful take on the character,

On the other hand, we *did* get Lego Batman.

I feel like the first Thor is still the movie that does the best job of translating Jack Kirby's aesthetics onto the screen. Guardians vol 2 certainly has its moments of that, though; seeing Ego in all his glory was delightful.

(always thought the imaginary weird science country in Africa was kinda silly)

Yeah, I really like what Coates has been doing with the premises that (1) monarchies are bullshit and (2) Black Panther is kind of a terrible king given that half the time he's fighting the Red Skull on another continent or aliens in outer space or some damn thing.

I hope he's at least Ross this time, and not "we were gonna use Gyrich but it turns out he's tied up in the X-Men rights."

I've been a Black Panther fan since the 1990s, so I started from a "Let's hope they get this right" place.

Do you not know what "unfinished" means?

On the other hand, if you're only judging by design, then the best Marvel movie is Thor.

Yeah, but Klaw's a Fantastic Four villain in the same way that Kingpin is a Spider-Man villain.

Whereas the Priest/Texeira BP #1 featured Jungle Boogie.

Holy shit, were those the Midnight Angels?

And another White Tiger, who's biracial.

Yeah, it's worth remembering: Trump is really unpopular, and he was really unpopular even on election day. Not only did he lose the popular vote, he also came within a few points of losing Republican strongholds to a woman who Republicans have been treating like the boogeyman for the past 25 years.
