Christopher R Taylor Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 That Venom thing.. how does that make sense? Just because a movie is R-Rated doesn't mean it cannot be crossed over. So Venom doesn't have as much gore, nudity or swearing when he shows up in Iron Man. So? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grailknight Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Yeah, I'm pretty sure if the rights are settled that Deadpool would show up in a sanitized version. Dollars are louder than sense where business is involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 It would have to be a cameo or very small part. Movie Deadpool drops an F-Bomb every 10 seconds or so. PS: Actually, he'd probably even comment that he has to watch his language because he's in a PG-13 movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it woudd be easy to turn that into a humorous Deadpool thing, him recognizing where he is and what he can't say or do. A lot of his charm is the "delusion" that he's in a comic book (or movie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archer Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) I don't think Gunn was the only director on the planet who could make an enjoyable GotG movie. He might be the only one who could make one as enjoyable as the first one but there are probably a couple of dozen who could make one as good as the second movie, which was a substantial step down in quality.

Christopher R Taylor Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 I think there are plenty of directors who can make a movie as fun as the first GOTG, and probably make a better film in the process. Gunn isn't uniquely talented, he just has a particularly type of comedy and style which may be difficult to equal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zslane Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Saying that only Gunn is qualified to make a good GotG movie is like saying only George Lucas is (was) qualified to make a good Star Wars movie, which would have been the prevailing attitude in 1979 if fandom had a voice back then like they do now. Another director (Kershner) came along to prove otherwise, and that could happen here as well. Hell, this has happened in the MCU already. After the success of the first Avengers movie, everyone believed that only Joss Whedon should direct the others. Then Age of Ultron came out and the seeds of doubt were sown. Then along came the Russo brothers and everyone was saying, "Joss who?" Now I'm not saying that GotG2 was a disappointment akin to Age of Ultron, but there are plenty of fans who see a slight downward trajectory there nonetheless. Giving GotG3 to another director may not actually be the worst thing that could happen to the franchise. It might not be ideal, per se, but I don't think it's the end of the world (or the franchise).

RDU Neil Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 GotG2 makes Age of Ultron look like Citizen Kane. There is no worse Marvel movie than GotG2, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 The confusing thing for me about the Guardians of the Galaxy movies is that they really aren't heroic at all and there's no real guarding going on. They're just a bunch of thieves and rogues who get into whacky high jinks. Its an interesting and fun pair of movies if you shut your brain off, but I don't see how that fits into the Marvel Comics universe in any way.

Old Man Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I reckon it fits the same way Deadpool, Logan, the Punisher, or any other antihero would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted August 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 GotG 2 has Kurt Russell going for it, the same way that TWS has Robert Redford. And for me, Avengers 1 is still the best of the series. At least so far. Matt the Bruins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard to find on Google or any other search engine for... reasons I guess but here's one. After a certain point you have to wonder when it stops being just jokes and becomes a pattern.
