Why?! - Why all the new directions at Marvel/Disney
BrandX replied to Troo's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
I am not a fan of Ms Marvel in comics, but I enjoy her in the show and movie she's been in. I didn't like Wakanda Forever, but I did like the look of Ironheart's armor (looked very anime inspired, which imo made sense for a younger ironman like hero). GotG didn't sell well in comics. It did well in the movies. Iron Man was not a top selling comic when his movie was made. In fact, the only reason they started the MCU with Iron Man was because they didn't have the rights to do it with Spider-Man. Films can fix issues they've done with comics. They can also make things worse or do bad adaptions no one wants. I know I'm more worried about any new MCU X-Men film now. They want to use old X-Men from FOX due to people who can't help but whine about any recasting in MCU but damn if they let Batman do it all the time. Not to mention if they do recast, I feel they won't be comic accurate and I want comic accurate before they do race/gender bending. -
I'm not thinking they were saying do without that. I think they were thinking add another fight scene?
-
I'm reading much more than "meh" on the reviews I've read/heard. And some of the bad reviews really seem to be "Well, I'm anti Disney/America right now..." I do believe they all agree it could've used a bit more action. That seems to be a bit of a constant.

I think the issue is, some of those losers seem like obvious losers. As someone who will buy any Spider-Woman comic, I knew when she changed costume and was going the pregnant and have a baby route, the comic was going to end quickly. Starfire's solo comic was also bad and I felt it would end quick. It did. -
It carries many back issues. Looks to have many smaller/lesser-known titles. The manga books themselves is VERY SMALL. But they also sell games, ccgs, some models, I wouldn't say to many toys. A good comic book shop. Also has pull lists (sadly mine seems to go up and down on the size of said list as comics get cancelled). So. I'd say a good comic shop.

You're the one who said US company was an issue.
-
Homecoming is a US company too.
-
At the comic shop today, free comic day, so it was pretty packed and line out the door and quite a few people had seen Thunderbolts and all thought it was good. So, I'd say it's worth it going to see. Only online have I heard people say anything negative about the film.
-
While my theatre wasn't packed (4:20pm showing tho) with around 10 people total, I can say I heard the others saying they liked it EXCEPT the first two people who didn't stay around for the very last end scene (lots of people do this even when enjoying a movie for some off reason, so I can't speculate on if this was good or bad to them).
-
The movie was good and it showed exactly how a fight of Superman vs Batman should go, when they don't give into bad writing because...it's batman.
-
I can imagine that in the real world, people would call it The Blip, as something silly like The Blip would trend and in polls for what to call it, people would vote Blip out of it's stupidity.
-
As someone who watches Tremors often enough (the first 4 more than the rest...there is a slide in quality)...I would like to know if they're going to count the movies and previous series in this new series. If the idea is that the Graboids have returned, then it doesn't sound like it, as the Graboids had already returned with Blanco is in the town and keeps the town from being developed by rich people (sanctuary for an endangered species). Also agree, needs Michael Gross, but they did make it look like he died on the last one.

Here's hoping Felicia becomes the new and permanent love interest to Peter Parker in the MCU. 🙂

The Fantastic Four: First Steps
BrandX replied to Glacier Peak's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
Not sure how FF will do either, but I didn't like the casting choices made from the beginning. Not sure I would've gone the multiverse 60's future tech route either. Hard to say, considering how the started the MCU with introducing the characters they now have the rights too. -

Goes back to streaming. People feel they can just wait now. No, not every movie was going to be a blockbuster, they never were. Some movies just weren't seen in theatres, but some of the movies that haven't made it that big would've done better before streaming, even if they weren't block busters. Covid, streaming, and yes, some of it with the direction some studios have wanted to go with their movies. Combination of factors, it's not just one thing. However, even movies that people say they want, are written good, are failing, and I'd say that means there's just a vocal minority sounding louder online than there really is. -

Disney was the only studio to have movies hit over a billion dollars last year, and they did it three times. -

Covid. Covid changed how people saw things, because Hollywood couldn't handle not making money while the rest of the world wasn't making money. Moved movies to streaming, now everyone knows "I can just wait for streaming" MCU is getting less popular because of the writing. They try to fight this by saying it's middle aged men, but those always seem to be their biggest audience. The Marvel's was mostly viewed by...MALES. 😮 As for changes between comics and movies, I think the issue is, we have the MCU and people want more faithful adaptions the first time around to these characters, which MCU hasn't been doing that well for a few of them. Honestly, not the biggest FF fan, so I'm going to see it, but I'm just going in with the idea of I still don't think this was a good casting for any of them 😛 Well, maybe Thing is alright. -

That's one of the biggest problems with Marvel and others doing established IPs. There's a bunch of characters they can use that check the boxes, that aren't what ifs (because with that idea, you may as well not make Spider-Man, Spider-Man for instance)...that people would love to see, but they continue to race and gender swap as if there aren't a long list of established characters that will check of that race or gender they want to use. They're just wanting to use certain names, is what it really comes down to. GotG should have proven you don't need famous names to make successful films. -
It did and it wasn't well received.

Avengers: Doomsday - Full Cast Announcement
BrandX replied to ZacKing's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
It's what I expect them to be. Extended Cameos. No different than Endgame when it came to so many of them. -
I think he worked up to pass peak human. The serum made him peak human. His constant working out, put him into low superhuman.

Avengers: Doomsday - Full Cast Announcement
BrandX replied to ZacKing's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
I have no care to see the FOX X-Men, whether I liked them in the roles or not, whether I like them as an actor or not. That said, I believe some of those are going to be nothing more than cameos, but it's a way to get people talking and hyped up. As for Scarlett and Chris returning to the MCU, I would just like to see Captain America finishing his dance with Peggy but telling her he can't stay and he goes off to return the soul stone and ends up with a rescued Natasha (Hence the "I don't think I will") -
I think the difference will be in top tier melee sets when combined with Bio Armor. Don't let the hype fool you, Bio Armor on a Scrapper is not sturdy. Bio Armor is much more for the offense and it helps Scrappers shine even more, surviving even switching to defense mode, is not the big "OMG I can't die!" some think they'll get from Bio Armor. And if you're building for more offense, that means you're taking away from additional defense. Now put that combo on a Tanker. That -Resist Toggle and -Regen combined with a good primary...even if the Tanker is slower, you just had easier survival option and Bio help cover the Tanker's lower DPS

Snow White will surpass 400 million, so it will be beat by Snow White 😞

I'd say go... Beam Rifle or Dual Pistols From there I'd say go Energy Aura (Sentinel), Martial Arts (Blaster), Devices (Corruptor, Defender, Blaster) Teleport for travel power. Explained away as access to a shuttle craft perhaps? Maybe even a star ship? Trapped in the past? May want Medicine Pool for that tri-corder.
