And since he's unlikely to ever finish the series, the show is probably the only ending we'll ever see to the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywind Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 They deviated too far from the book for it to be a satisfactory ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted February 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Everyone knows GRRM told the tv producers how ASOIAF ends, right? Game of Thrones (tv series) is working towards that same ending albeit with less overhead (number of characters). Now back to marvel.

drunkonduty Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 I liked Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. It was getting really interesting... then it got cancelled. Wasn't so keen on Avengers Assemble. Although it did get better as it went along. The Squadron Supreme arc was pretty good. Not sure what other animation they've done in recent years. The adventures of baby Iron Man one, some sort of horrible Spiderman thing, a Hulk thing, all aimed at the 5-10 market. Nothing wrong with that. Kids need their shows. But it means less cartoon for me. And as a middle-aged, hetero, white man I strongly feel that I have been marginalised by society and not given my fair share of the pie. (Irony there folks.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 No I mean Earth's Mightiest Heroes, I loved it and they just stopped right in the middle of building up to the Surtur storyline. So they could replace it with their hip new Ultimate universe version that was significantly poorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game of Thrones (tv series) is working towards that same ending albeit with less overhead (number of characters). Now back to marvel. Quote I don’t consider it in those terms. The show is the show and it’s developed a life of its own at this point. I am involved in the show, of course, and have been since the beginning, but my main focus has got to be the books. You have to remember that I started writing this story in 1991 and I first met David and Dan [showrunners Benioff and Weiss] in 2007. I was living with these characters and this world for 16 years before we even started working on the show. They’re pretty fixed in my mind and I’m not going to change anything because of the show, or reaction to the show, or what fans think. I’m just still writing the story that I set out to write in the early 1990s. http://time.com/4791258/game-of-thrones-george-r-r-martin-interview/ Quote At some points, when David and Dan and I had discussions about what way we should go in, I would always favor sticking with the books, while they would favor making changes. […] That was probably the first major diversion of the show from the books and, you know, I argued against that, and David and Dan made that decision. https://www.quora.com/What-is-George-R-R-Martin’s-role-in-HBOs-Game-of-Thrones-season-7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starlord Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Feige and Larson made obvious call on Ms Marvel costume Psylocke in Xmen Apocalypse was the clear example that some costumes just don't work onscreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Well, and Captain Marvel has had a lot of different costumes over the years, its not like she's Spider-Man. I wasn't super happy with their bizarre interpretations of Captain America's outfit but at least they put some effort into trying to keep it basically along the same theme (same with Spider-Man but he's slouching into Tim Burton Batman territory, every film it gets more complicated and fancy).

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 I though cap's outfits worked but they went way overboard trying to avoid actually using his costume but stay close enough fans didn't throw rocks at the screen. Some of them were so distant you could barely make out the stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 I didn't have a problem with Psylocke's costume either. At least it was more comics accurate than most. I liked Cap's costume in First Avenger because it was a great adaptation of the classic costume in the form of military fatigues, sorta like what we saw in the original Ultimates comics. I also liked Cap's Winter Soldier costume, which I think was the best version so far. When it comes to Capt. Marvel, well, to be honest I never liked the black one-piece swimsuit costume from the comics. I just didn't like the design. I like the more current red/blue full-body suit that she has in the comics right now, and I think if they had picked someone with a better body/physique than Brie Larson, then going with a more spandex-y rendition would have looked pretty awesome. But, of course, this is the MCU, home of armor-plated spandex costumes, so we were never going to get a Spider-Man-like costume for Capt. Marvel regardless of who was cast in the role.
