It’s not their imitating it too much. The issue is that they aren’t cultivated with it. They don’t learn the style in art classes or through proper investment of time. They have to emulate what they see and from crap “How To” books like those of Christopher Hart. Drawing something you like is fine, but when others…

You are correct about your last sentence. Talent is natural. You either have it or not. Yet saying someone can pick up any style and understand it thoroughly does depend on the culture surrounding them. It’s why we have different styles in the first place.

Unless sarcastic.... By the mid 90’s, artists like Adam Warren, Joe Mad, J Scott Cambell, Jim Lee, Michael Turner, etc were heavily influenced by Anime and Manga. Especially those that were from the mid 80’s to mid 90’s.

Actually it does to some degree. They live in an environment that has Manga and Anime as an everyday thing. Manga isn’t relegated to just Pokemon or attack on Titan. Manga is often non-fiction, educational, historcial, etc but the art style is a part of everyday life. In the west, it is not. We are not surrounded by a…

He can say that all he wants, but he has left Twitter, and other platforms after receiving backlash before. The problem is that he does so, and then runs away. He then deflects all criticisms on his work at the studios that put their faith him in. He doesn’t apologize or explain the mistakes he makes, nor does he take…

Not really. This is apart of their culture. Light Novels were used to create the Manga, then due to marketing and product usage, an Anime film is made, followed by an OVA or regular series.

Well this makes total sense. Universal is losing the rights to their Marvel attractions in the coming years, so Islands of Aventure will probably be rethemed for this. Rides are already there, and it’ll just be re-skining and retooling the animatronics and sets.

Wrong, slightly. Tim Burton executive produced Batman Forever. You are correct about the reason they asked him not to direct, but he was very involved in the film. The studio wanted Batman to be fun, given that Batman Returns did significantly less that Batman and not only upset parents with it’s dark atmosphere, but…

You don’t need to apologize for anything lol. I don’t get offended by people liking things. You think he’s a good writer. So does my fiance` so I can live with him being around. I don’t like him because I have never liked his writing style. Just an opinion. I think he gets credit for a lot of things that he actually…

Vision and Wanda are a couple in the comics, and should be on screen. You are correct, all the characters in the film were cardboards and Hawkeye was easily the most removed from his comic version. In fact, Whedon basically made him Wash from Firefly.

Yes I know it’s about BATMAN. Even taken that route - Batman and Robin was rather campy and shared a lot of the spirit of the 60’s version. To me, Clooney was similar to Adam West. I love Adam West, don’t get me wrong, but they were both campy. Clooney was just sarcastic under the cowl and I happened to enjoy it.

Burton left after the film came out. He refused to work on Batman and Robin due to conflicts with WB and how fast they were pushing that film. It was a 2 years turnaround. Since Burton was producing Batman Forever his money got the final say so. After that, WB handled it with Shumacher, and we saw what happened. Hell…

Burton left after the film came out. It’s why he’s still credited as producer on Batman Forever. The studio already had Batman and Robin in the works, it was 2 year turnaround. They pushed it hard on Shumacher. It’s in the special features of the DVDs from back in ‘07 which are on the Blu-Ray releases if you want to…

Fair enough with the crystal aspect of it. I was referring to the creation in general, but fair point.

He was supposed to be the Joker, not the Riddler. When Tim Burton stayed on to help produce the film WB wanted to bring the Joker back, and he said no. It’s why he left the series after that.

Clooney as Bruce Wayne is great though! Swarmey, charismatic and that chin!

They can use that angle. However, the use of the Iron Legion brings up another issue I had with the film. If the Legion was already there and an active crowd-control/policing service all run by JARVIS (who was shown as a far superior AI) then why Ultron at all? But I digress.

I agree on Cap. That was handled exceedingly well. Cap is set up well. Tony isn’t. Remember IM2? The whole films was about the government wanting Stark’s suit and weapons. He refused to give it to them till Rhodes stole a suit. So Stark isn’t a fan of government involvement and control either. He supports…

That’s the issue though. DC and Marvel all have different areas to pull from. DC can claim their films are Elseworlds and it be okay. Marvel can cross dimensions and what not while copying DC’s model.

We’ll see. I just trust the Russo Brothers quite a bit after they managed to tell Secret War and Secret Invasion in one film and disguise it as a 70’s spy thriller film. That was deftly handled. What I’m thinking is that the fall-out from Hulk’s rampage causes the government to crack down on who these heroes are and…
