On the Zod in the mist thing, you know it never ever occurred to me that he or the other Kryptonians were killed, mainly because of the Superman/Clark that Reeves was portraying. I would say the same thing about the one that Dean Cain portrayed and even the one from Smallville. The Superman from Man of Steel I might have believed, due to listening to his dad basically tell him let me die because your secret is more important with a hand gesture (or, you should have let the bus full of kids die rather then reveal yourself). IF they had taken that first scene and had him look at Martha after the funeral and say to her, "If it is in my power to do so, NO ONE WILL EVER DIE IF I CAN PREVENT IT." Then, you would truly get the angst conundrum when that seems to be his only choices at the end. Of course, this is directed by the same person who has Lex outsmart Batman (but of course not Lois because she is intrepid journalist).

I played all the way through the campaign and really enjoyed myself. I have not played the expansions (though I own them). I am thinking will wait for final one then replay campaign. One problem I had, though Flashpoint seems to have fixed some of it, is that once you start getting assault mechs, there isn't much reason not to take them on the missions. The opponents late in game are all running heavy/assault and are WAY to accurate to use light mechs, which are basically one shotted.

saw it, sadly timing didn't work out for IMAX. enjoyed it, though I will say that, like the 2014 one, not a fan of the monster fights as seen by people running away style. Reminds me of Cloverleaf a little to much. Thought all the monsters done really well. Still trying to figure out the 17 and counting monsters (Godzilla, Ghidora, Kong, the Tyranos from Skull Island, Rodan, Mothra, Spidra, they mention Scylla in the after credits, the mammoth, the Muta, and I assume Angurus although maybe was Scylla was the one they never seem to quite show). I pretty much second the comments above, the human part was ok, but the monster battles were awesome. Loved at the end of the casting you had Godzilla Himself Ghidora Himself Rodan Herself Mothra Herself Felt like someone was a not only a fan of the Kaiju films, but also Sinbad - "Destiny is a place where both good and evil wait, and yet their very equality that bates their power, for it is the deeds of weak and mortal men that may tip the scales one way or the other" After ending credits, I wonder in the finale if won't be a variation of Emperor Ghidora (the 4 legged one).

I would actually 2nd this that Snyder doesn't get Batman either. He doesn't kill or use guns because he believes that is what separates him from the villains he fights. If he stoops to those levels, then he is what his detractors say he is.

I believe a lot of people were thrilled by Leto being cast as Joker, IIRC, and I can't stand his version.

Plan to see later this week, still thinking IMAX. I really like the effect they have shown in previews of Ghidora's heads. Much more serpent like, makes them seem way more dangerous then he was.

I was thinking that maybe he just put them back with no memory of coming to earth in the future, thereby keeping the timeline.

So, figuring this might be more of the Marvel influence, but at least it appears they are doing the space entity being absorbed by Jean in the new X-Men.

If you like Forged in Fire, check out Man At Arms on Rodriguez's El Rey Network. Hosted by Danny Trejo, one of the major forgers is a guy who has won FIF. They do a lot of explaining on what they are doing and why. They tend to forge historical and famous fantasy weapons. Really cool show.

I wonder if he didnt get, as Selvig did before in Avengers, the knowledge from the mind gem.

so maybe you can play Yeti if they do Alpha Flight.

did they run out of paint after the entry?

What dimensional portal are they opening for their project?

So, will he be Falcon, American Eagle or Captain America?

I and a friend once got in trouble for fighting when we were doing an english problem in junior high and both grabbed yardsticks and started sword fighting.

Yeah, I think once she missed Ragnarok, there was no way they were bringing her back, even for a cameo. Having to explain why she survived where the warriors 3 didnt would have been tough. I rather would have seen her do a small part in Ragnarok, even if it was only to have a brief fight with Hela before being killed out of hand like the others.

Question becomes, will they actually follow the series and its basic meaning (I realize this is simplified) that in the war between Heaven and Hell when Lucifer was thrown out, the wrong side won. If you didnt get that from the books, then maybe my interpretation is wrong.

So, pretty much typecasting for Raquel, as she pretty much embodied Lust for an entire generation, mine included. I liked both versions and thought they were both well done.

I once ran a Cap clone who was a legacy character from generations. He had presence defense - only usable by others. as long as he was up and able to fight, others felt confident.

I would also point out that they were showing various ways of dealing with things. Steve was stoic and just doing what needed to be done, Natasha threw herself into leading a group righting wrongs, Clint went vengeance and vigilante (punisher style), Thor went lethargic and self medicating, Tony had PTSD and anxiety and decided to try to protect EVERYONE whether they liked it or not.

Black Widow wasn't Clint's sacrifice, she was sacrificing herself to save everyone else. Problem was, the explanation from Skull was sacrificing what you love most, not yourself. Maybe the powers that be only told that to Skull and therefore Thanos knowing they probably didn't have anything they loved that much other then themself.

I am shocked that the lesson WB didn't take out of JL was that obviously people hate a Superman who is actually for Truth and Justice and an actual good guy. Just kidding, but truthfully, this was more of the Superman I wish we had seen in the other 2 movies.

Don't forget, regarding the Hammer, that when Cap wields it Thor shouts "I KNEW IT". I think he recognized that of all the mortals he knows, Steve was worthy. And note, Stormbringer doesn't have the same restriction, as Odin was gone when it was created. Regarding Loki escaping, they almost had to do that, as the snap should only have brought back those killed by Thanos's snap.

I always got more of a Rocky feel from Real Steel, but still a very fun movie and the robot fights were great.
