He doesn’t unfortunately. However, he has cognitive functions and acts with the group as a team. The best shot of this is at the end where they’re standing over Loki in Stark Tower. He’s in control, moving with the group in a non-threatening manner.

lol Sorry if that sounded trite on my end. Whedon is a very touchy topic for me, especially lately. I just feel like this film was like reading a comic of my favorite heroes, written by my least favorite writer.

What they should have done was linked this to the main article.

That’s my problem. I haven’t trusted Whedon at all, ever. That, in itself is another topic.

Yes, but here’s the kicker, if the guys can see how bad the character is in its portrayal of women that tells you something.

See, that’s where the movie fails horribly even more. At the end of the first film we see Banner walk towards the Chitauri metal worm claiming, “I’m always angry,” and then transforming himself, in control, into the Hulk. He also speaks, takes orders from Cap, rescues Iron Man. He spends that whole fight completely…

Oh you don’t want Quicksilver to have character. Trust me on this. Whedon has said in interviews that his cut footage made him to be, and I quote, a “pussy hound,” and arrogant. Which was supposed to make his death have more meaning because Hawkeye, being a family man, hated him.

On board with ya. Even though I still own the others and the sequel. I think an upgraded version would work, and Tri-Ace already did it with Resonance of Fate’s graphics. Now that we’re talking about it, I’d love to see Radiata Stories HD as well.

Possibly, since that game was the PSP version of the original Valkyrie Profile and came with updated graphics and an extended storyline. That doesn’t really need a port as they could just make it available through PSN. Now if they were to do the original PSOne game? That’d be a different story.

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.
