Blonde Moment 07-02-2015 03:40 PM

Could the female Starlord be a Blonde Kitty Pryde or better yet... Sue Richards in search of her children?

You know the Sue Richards idea might be possible. Seems like the Fantastic Four is totally split up from those covers so I wouldn't be surprised.

......THAT'S THE THING!?

FUCK THIS MOVIE!

Fignuts 07-02-2015 10:37 PM

He looks like a big guy made of rocks.


Soooooooooooo

It's Clobbering Time?

It's just Thing not the Thing.

Ava DuVernay will not be doing Black Panther anymore (though really she never signed). Says they didn't see eye to eye, which is almost surely based on whatever social justice undertones I was afraid she was gonna attempt.

I want Marvel to expand their search past black directors. Same with Captain Marvel and female directors. They wanna make this hoopla for press but this is the fourth director who walked from the MCU. Most were different reasons but they can avoid a lot of grief by laying down the ground rules, especially since Joss is gone and they have no 'showrunner' outside of Feige.

Blonde Moment 07-04-2015 04:59 AM

With the Black Panther don't those undertones have to exist for the modern character to be relevant?

Kalyx triaD 07-04-2015 05:14 AM

Yes and no. There are degrees, and I'm pretty sure she wanted to go full blast. That would have compromised the requisite tone of 'The MCU Movie'. Winter Soldier's political thriller and Guardians' space opera are examples of stretching the formula, but they feel like MCU movies. She was not a good choice. Her interview with Essence give hints of the tonal rift. I don't think she'd have time to showcase elements of the larger universe when she probably wanted to use the movie to make some kind of social point.

I was just talking to Khuntry about the fallout and off the top of my head I named a few directors who could merge Black Panther's cultural themes with the action-comedy, mythology of the MCU. Andy Serkis (already in the movie as the villain) and Neill Blomkamp (perfect choice, imo) were some of the top picks for me. As well as John Singleton and, not even kidding, Tyler Perry. These guys could channel Black Panther's unique themes as well as play ball with MCU's guidelines.

I don't read the comics anymore, but have they revealed who FemThor is?

The Vanity fair reporter from IM1-2 really moved up in the world since her 'spread' for Tony Stark.

Marisa Tomei Joins The Cast Of Marvel's SPIDER-MAN As 'Aunt May'


This is really odd.

The Destroyer 07-08-2015 03:26 PM

I'm too used to Aunt May being an old woman. Suppose it makes sense given the age with Peter that they're aiming for.

When he started being Spiderman in the comics, Aunt May was already old and grey-haired.

Don't think this is the right choice but we will see.

Wishbone 07-08-2015 04:38 PM

She's way too young to be Aunt May, but the MCU has yet to disappoint me so I'm gonna go ahead and give them the benefit of the doubt.

Shadow 07-08-2015 06:57 PM

Probably shooting for a more Unlimitied vibe.

Kalyx triaD 07-08-2015 07:13 PM

So long as she constantly tells Parker not to forget the damn milk. Damn kid.

Why was Aunt May really old anyway? Peter Parker was a teen. His parents at that time would have been in their 40s. So his aunt and uncles could have been at their very oldest in their 50s or possibly just barely 60. Still far from being an old doddery grandma.

Blonde Moment 07-09-2015 03:17 AM

60's storytelling and the need for Peter to be raised with Old school sensibilities I would imagine plus taking care of his frail old Aunt May gave Peter something more to worry about than just school, kept him grounded.

Sixx 07-12-2015 06:34 AM

Leaked footage of Apocalypse:

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansit...news/?a=122741

Not crazy about the look.

The Destroyer 07-12-2015 07:09 AM

Hard to tell from the video, but looks way too small for Apocalypse.

Sixx 07-12-2015 07:11 AM

Yeah. Also the face looks like a regular human face. But blue.

Rammsteinmad 07-12-2015 08:26 AM

Seems plausible. Apocalypse can alter his size and shape-shift and stuff. Clip barely reveals anything.

Gambit movie is cool though. Didn't realize he was getting a solo outing. I'm excited for that.

Damian Rey 07-12-2015 01:09 PM

Was thinking about Chaning Tatum as Gambit the other day, and thought that's a pretty solid casting job.

Sixx 07-12-2015 01:15 PM

I think he's a little too buff, but overall good.

He'd look retarded in this kinda headpiece cause of his protruding ears

http://media.ignimgs.com/media/ign/i.../65_Gambit.jpg

Kalyx triaD 07-12-2015 02:52 PM

Good thing they're not doing the headpiece.

Oh? Did they officially say that or something?

I don't think I've heard any kind of details about Gambit yet.

Kalyx triaD 07-12-2015 03:28 PM

A conclusion based on no other character with that headpiece having it in a movie. It's not 'signature' to Remy or anything. The guarantees are the staff, cards, and coat. Bodysuit is wait and see. But certainly no weird headpiece. Even the comics are wavy on it nowadays.

Sixx 07-12-2015 03:31 PM

Fair enough.

Wishbone 07-12-2015 09:10 PM

Gambit getting a solo movie is definitely a surprise. I never would have guessed we'd get one truthfully. Especially with how horribly they used him in the Wolverine Origins movie. Is Chaning Tatum confirmed to be playing him?

Sixx 07-12-2015 09:11 PM

Yup. Confirmed.

Huh, wouldn't have been my first pick... Still I guess he might be able to pull it off. I take it we won't be seeing his trademark Cajun accent though. At least I hope not because I don't think Tatum could pull that off lol. :lol:

Kalyx triaD 07-12-2015 09:36 PM

Actually Channing said he's working with somebody to nail the accent. Result quality may vary.

Oh good lord... Please let the person he's working with be a miracle worker then lol.

Lock Jaw 07-13-2015 01:29 AM

Just read that there's going to be a female version of Blade now too..... Marvel really overdoing it.....

Kalyx triaD 07-13-2015 01:33 AM

You mean his new daughter, Fallon? She's fuckin awesome.

Sixx 07-13-2015 05:59 AM

I just wonder when all the changes to their universe(s) will blow up in their faces and they'll go back to the way things used to be.

Also, I don't think I've ever heard of Blade's daughter.

Sixx 07-13-2015 08:47 AM

Leaked Apocalypse trailer. Shitty quality and you can only see half the screen most of the time.

She's new. She's gonna tag along with old Blade for a bit with the intention being her starring in her own series. I love her design and Blade himself will get some action.

I really like Blade, you see.
