[Method of Madness]

[Blue Kitty]

I just enjoy seeing him



Oh lord that Rocket Raccoon mask is creepy

[K1dmor]

 

 Full trailer will be up tonight  .

 -----------
 The trailer is here    :

 

[Edguy]

Just saw it, looks pretty fun! But will the self-irony be too much? I dunno, really looking forward to this regardless tho!

[Thrillho]

I'll probably watch that on DVD simply because Batista's in it and everything he does will be hilarious to me personally.

It does look quite good, though.

[Blue Kitty]

[K1dmor]

 Just to see a little bit more of Rocket Racoon, and him talking:
 

 I was expecting something more like his voice in UMVC3, but then again he just said six words.

[Blue Kitty]

Say hello to the new Fantastic Four

[Jimmy the Squid]

Into it.

Though I think Ben Grimm/Thing would be better if he was a bit heavier but hey, could be real good.

[Method of Madness]

Wait, the douchey kid from Project X is Mr. Fantastic? That's...that's kind of awesome, he was by far the best part of that movie.

Edit: Oh wait, never mind, he was in that movie, but only as a minor character. I was thinking of Oliver Cooper apparently, who has been in little since, which is kind of a shame.

[Thrillho]

He is, however, the douchey kid from 21 And Over, which his an amusing Hangover ripoff without being anywhere near as mean spirited.

The Thing, however, is Billy Elliott.

H'OKAY DEN

[Edguy]

Say hello to the new Fantastic Four

¨

Kinda odd casting..

btw, this isn't actually MCU stuff, this is Fox Marvel :]

[Game and Watch Forever]

Though considering this is supposedly going to cross over with X-Men at some point, it's still technically a Marvel Cinematic Universe... I do get what you mean and had the same thoughts though, Edguy. 

I'm interested in seeing how this pans out. The cast is not what I would expect, but that could be a good thing in a reboot.

[LeeC]

this movie looks awesome! Chris Pratt is my spirit animal.

[GarandMarine]

As long as he's a douchebag Mr. Fantastic will be okay.

[Kugai]

Wait

What?


So the Storms were an interracial couple??!


Nothing against that, but ummmmmm  .........

Are we looking at a "Fuck Canon" situation here?


Oh!  It's Fox!!!

Never mind.

[Neko_Ali]

I'm just curious how they will explain how the siblings are black and white. Plenty of options there... Adoption, remarriage with existing children. Sure, in the comics Sue and Johnny are full blood siblings from white parents... But hey, whoever works best for the role. Stranger things happen in comics. So long as they give some kind of explanation in this case, I'm satisfied. I didn't think any explanation was needed for Nick Fury or Heimdal, but if the Storms remain related... It makes me curious how that worked out. Of course, the internet has blown up about it, predictably.

[Jimmy the Squid]

Because the internet is full of racists.

From what I've heard they're going with adoption which is a good, solid explanation that doesn't really cause any extraneous storyline issues. Also given that the FF get their powers externally it doesn't matter, they don't need to be genetically related.

[Lines]

Kate Mara is in it? I'll skip it.

[GarandMarine]

Who's Kate Mara and why is she a problem?

Also honestly I don't care what they do with FF, can't be worse then the last movies.

The internet blew up over a rumor that Donald Glover might be Spider-man, they're having a shit storm with this

I really want to see the Rock as Namor some time.

[Jimmy the Squid]

Except that Donald Glover would be an awesome Spider-man. He doesn't even have to be Peter Parker because they actually have a black Spidey in the fucking comics.

Fuck off internet racists.

[Lines]

Who's Kate Mara and why is she a problem?

The girl pictured under Sue Storm. She was in the first season of American Horror Story and House of Cards and I find her exceedingly annoying. I also don't think she's that good of an actress.

Also since the last FF movie/s were so blah, I'd rather see Glover as Spiderman.

[GarandMarine]

Please don't jinx another Spidey reboot, the last one finally made up for the STAIN of the McGuire era films.

[Edguy]

I don't think racism has anything to do with people not wanting unnecessary changes to characters they follow.. The big question is why? Do they have some imaginative creative vision that requires Johnny to be adopted? Sure, then I'm all for it. Sadly, though, I think this is just a publicity stunt, to create controversy and discussion, as well as appealing to larger demographics and "filling diversity quotas". I'd be happy to be proven wrong, tho!

[GarandMarine]

As a side note since Heimdall came up, if any one bitches to you about him being black in the movie, without also bitching about Thor being blonde and best bros with Sif instead of married and Loki's adopted brother instead of his blood nephew... well they've already proven they're ignorant shitheads, but they're also ignorant shitheads without a leg to stand on. Hit them with something heavy in the name of Asgard.

[Method of Madness]

To be fair, there IS a valid complaint, but only that they wasted Idris Elba on a relatively minor role. (Thankfully less minor in Thor 2)

[Edguy]

As a side note since Heimdall came up, if any one bitches to you about him being black in the movie, without also bitching about Thor being blonde..

Are you implying Thor's hair isn't blonde..?

[Thrillho]

I suspect Garand is referring to real Thor not comic Thor. Possibly to deliberately confuse the issue.

[Edguy]

Well, if so, I might address that Thor, the movie character, is based on a comic book character, who again is inspired by the Norse god Tor.

Just saying

(Also, is there stated somewhere that Tor, the Norse god, doesn't have blonde hair?)

[Blue Kitty]

In Norse mythology, largely recorded in Iceland from traditional material stemming from Scandinavia, numerous tales and information about Thor are provided. In these sources, Thor bears at least fourteen names, is the husband of the golden-haired goddess Sif, is the lover of the jötunn Járnsaxa, and is generally described as fierce-eyed, red-haired and red-bearded.

[Edguy]

Fair enough!

[GarandMarine]

Not to sound snotty or anything here, but I like to think I know and have sources for the actual descriptions of my own deities.

Thor's red locks are the origin of the phrase "Let Red Haired thunder see to that!" which is apparently a common curse in certain parts of Scandinavia, and is common amongst some modern heathen communities as a "god dammnit" equivalent.

As to what Method said I'm not trying to confuse or muddy the waters, just making a point about canon

[Edguy]

As to what Method said I'm not trying to confuse or muddy the waters, just making a point about canon

Well, the canon of Norse mythology isn't really relevant to the movie based of a comic book character, just sayin' :]

[GarandMarine]

Sure, hitting the copy paste command on a culture's myths and an active religion's faith then changing a few, very minor details, while nit exactly creative is a valid form of creation (even Thor's role as the guardian of Midgard is a direct lift from historical sources.

Which again is my point, canon is treated like some permanent thing encased in steel never to be moved, but changes and evolves over time as new people create, visualize or otherwise generate/regenerate that character's universe.

That said it would be nice if the Christians got around to screwing with their own mythology instead of messing with everyone else's. Do you think marvel would support Jesus as a character if he was on a quest to defeat the 13 generals of Satan's army and the immortal lich King Solomon? He could totally team up with Dr. Strange

Well, DC does have their very own Jesus/Moses (sources disagree) adaptation

[Neko_Ali]

See a bunch of non christian dominated areas for that sort of thing, GM. Misinterpreting christian mythology is a pretty standard thing in in manga and anime. And even US artist and comic writers borrow heavily from christian sources. Dawn, Constantine, dozens at least movies involving god, angels, demons. And that's not even counting the many, many times Satan is used in stories, as both a villain or hero.. sometimes both. Whether used by name or by very clear allusions to him.

MovieBob did a double episode on that particular subject, just recently! Quite interesting actually:
The Devil You Know part I
The Devil You Know part II

Also what I was saying was just complimenting the actor, not so much a comment on the plot/character.

I was being facetious. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

[Aimless]

Sure, hitting the copy paste command on a culture's myths and an active religion's faith then changing a few, very minor details

Humanoid aliens with super-advanced technology evoking Stargate rather than any of the traditional stories




The new trailer has made me look forward to the Guardians of the Galaxy movie even though I'm no fan of Saldana.

[GarandMarine]

Because Stargate wasn't a whole sale expy of multiple culture's religious beliefs/mythology pasted over a "Hey! Ancient Aliens!" conspiracy theory website's central manifesto, which they then proceeded to add MacGyver too? I mean fuck yeah it was brilliant, I have probably watched more SG-1 then I have Star Trek, but it all goes back to appropriation, which Akima's spoken on far more eloquently then I ever will be able to.

Watching Thor: The Dark World finally. Pretty good.

"I have this completely under control!"
"Is that why everything's on fire?"

[Edguy]

So, anyone seen Winter Soldier yet? My friends and I are planning to see it soon, but don't mind waiting a little for the traffic to wind down. It's actually gotten really good critique so far (93% on RT, 63/100 on Mc), so I'm really excited to see it!

[Method of Madness]

It doesn't come out until Friday.

[Blue Kitty]

Though it's been out in Europe for a month I believe

[Method of Madness]

Oy, what the fuck? What manner of bullshit is that?

And please, nobody respond with "it's a common practice". Just because it happens all the time doesn't make it less bullshit.

[Edguy]

Though it's been out in Europe for a month I believe

More like a week actually, but yes.

[pwhodges]

Oy, what the fuck? What manner of bullshit is that?

The opposite of the usual bullshit that has it the other way round.  Also, the reason for the existence of DVD and BD region coding.

[Method of Madness]

Region coding is also bullshit.

[J]

so Captain AMERICA debuted in europe before it did in america then. huh.
