Christopher R Taylor Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 It wasn't that great anyway. The first two films were okay but they all seemed lacking something key like a belief that this world really could exist, or a real commitment to the universe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 That's fine, it's reboot time anyway. In fact he and McAvoy have both been Xavier in parallel for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 I hear its reboot time already...supposedly the X-Men movie will tell the Dark Phoenix saga...again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt the Bruins Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Meh. Give me Kulan Gath or their space adventures with the Starjammers. They've already failed hard once trying to film the Dark Phoenix story arc. I like the idea of a Punisher series a lot. Batman without the money, a street fighter without powers, going up against gangs and mobsters, corrupt politicians, etc. He compensates for the lack of billions of dollars by substituting billions of bullets. Even the Ben Affleck Batman would look at him and go "Damn, maybe you should get some therapy and try to work out your dead family issues nonviolently." massey and Grailknight 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Heh, I always thought that the argument could be made that the intensity of Batman's obsessions make him more insane and damaged than any member of his Rogue's Gallery.

Joe Walsh Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Four episodes in, I'm really enjoying Legion. Blows away all the other supers shows on traditional TV. TheDarkness, Matt the Bruins and bigdamnhero 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iuz the Evil Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 I can. Not. Wait. Who would've thought this would be my favorite franchise of the MCU when they filmed the first one. Crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zslane Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Yeah, the problem with that casting is that it just looks like Jeff Goldblum doing cosplay. The Grandmaster will undoubtedly have all of Goldblum's signature mannerisms too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I like Goldblum but he only plays Jeff Goldblum heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Hopefully Goldblum will take some chances with the character, as Benicio del Toro did with the Collector. Goldblum was once known as a talented and versatile actor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 The Guardians are "supposed" to be outrageous -- in the sense that they are extremely long lived group, with other cultures growing up around them, the Guardians would appear very odd.

aylwin13 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I wished they'd gone with a bit more blue for the makeup; other than just the "chin racing stripe". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Did you see Goldblum in Grand Hotel Budapest? His Deputy Kovacs was very far from the usual Goldblum character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjack Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 The villain that's a Darkseid ripoff? How can it be a ripoff when both were created by Jack Kirby as part of the same story. He wanted to keep going on the New Gods storylines when he returned to Marvel back from DC. So he just started on the first book they gave him...the comic version of 2001:A Space Oddessy and turned it into the Eternals. The same way he made the comic Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen the flagship of the New Gods books a few years before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 To clarify, Thanos was created by Jim Starlin, who IIRC acknowledged he was inspired by Darkseid. Starlin's original conception of the Titans (i.e. the inhabitants of Saturn's moon Titan) was that they were an offshoot of the Olympian gods, A'lars/Mentor being a brother of Zeus. Jack Kirby's run on the Eternals title never directly connected his creations to the greater Marvel Universe. When the subsequent editorial decision was made to bring them into the mainstream universe (IIRC first in the pages of Thor's comic), the Titans were retconned as being kin to the Eternals, with A'lars made the brother of the Prime Eternal, Zuras.
