My husband and I dubbed it “Boring Fist”!

I know I’m in the vast minority, but for me the X-Men movies go: Apocalypse > Days of Future Past > Deadpool > First Class > X1 > Logan > X2 > The Wolverine > X3 > X-Men Origins. That said, I’m still extremely skeptical about any story revolving around Phoenix that doesn’t properly set up the alien angle beforehand,…

Legally embargoed - the BBC promised Bassetts they’d never use him again.

I’m not a D&D gamer (I briefly played a single campaign for a year or so when I was much younger), but I have given some thought into what makes a D&D movie so difficult to make work.

Kinda? I mean, it’s an argument some supervillains (now Captain America) have made from time to time. Not 100% convinced me, but the villains seem to believe the BS they spout to this effect.

Yeah! Haven’t you heard of alt-Hydra before?

I just want to say that I’ve now reached the apex of my professional career.

Actually DC’s movies are more like horrible, pretentious comic books.

I don’t really get this article. Street-level heroes making some mention of, but not dwelling on too much, the World-Saving heroes, and World-Saving heroes knowing nothing whatsoever about the Street-level heroes, seems about right to me.

Yeah, crossovers permanently killed any interest I had in ongoing comics series, way back in the ‘80s. I was perfectly happy reading one regular X-Men series by the same creative team. I did not give a shit about having to read four or five separate X-Books every month to figure out what the hell was going on.

Well, that’s what Avengers money can buy.

Beatles covers aren’t that rare, though. Hearing the original (albeit remixed) music in trailers or any kind of advertising is pretty much unprecedented. Even in movies and TV it’s pretty much unheard of — offhand all I can think of is the Prisoner finale and Shampoo. Oh, and Mad Men.

““Fun” and “terrible” are not mutually exclusive concepts in film.”

It seems clear to me that there are two, 1-way connections:

Worst fallout of the Fox deal is a pretty competitive race when you consider they also have Galactus and the Silver Surfer!!!

This is it, exactly. The Lego Batman movie had several clues to this, but basically they were all the figment of a kid’s imagination as he played with all the different Lego sets combined.

No, movies aren’t just scripts. If that were true, Pacific Rim wouldn’t be so fun to watch and Suicide Squad and BvS wouldn’t have made so much money.

That’s a very Mego Spidey/Toy Fare Theatre stare going on there.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND it’s a 60's Spidey thread.
