guess not

I guess the thing I don't like is that his suit looks so rubbery, as opposed to armor.

Kalyx triaD 06-03-2010 04:21 PM

He has the helmet.

Jeritron 06-03-2010 04:27 PM

What does that have to do with whether or not the costume looks rubbery?

I don't hate it. I just don't really like it that much. If the movie is good I could really care less, but it's underwhelming.

I really like Cap aside from the lack of wings on the side of the helmet, but that's very minor.

Kalyx triaD 06-03-2010 04:30 PM

Somebody asked about the helmet. Just wanna make clear he does have it.

Jeritron 06-03-2010 04:31 PM

I did. I had got your answer though, I thought you were responding to my next post

Kalyx triaD 06-03-2010 04:36 PM

Nah, nature of stacked replies s'all.

Jeritron 06-03-2010 04:39 PM

I'm curious about what Josh Halloway is going to be in all of this, if he's indeed involved. Maybe he'll be some kind of villain or side character from SHIELD or something.

Hawkeye seems like a strong possibility, but I had seen someone else mention that there was someone else in the running for that.

I feel like their biggest obstacle in this movie is going to be keeping it from being too crowded. I think they have enough on their plate trying to make a movie with a bunch of superheroes work. That's why I'm of the opinion that characters like Hawkeye and Vision should be held off on until a sequel, but if they can get it to work then whatever.

Kalyx triaD 06-03-2010 04:45 PM

I think they could streamline the whole thing by focusing on four main characters (Cap, Thor, Tony, and... Ms Marvel?). Have two lesser characters. One villain for the second act (almost surely Hulk) and a major villain for the whole thing (rumored to be Loki or Skrulls). I think they could still keep it tight.

Jeritron 06-03-2010 04:50 PM

Hulk as a villain is interesting, though if that happens it would almost undoubtedly lead to him joining the group.

War Machine and Black Widow are probably going to be the lesser characters. And Nick Fury of course.
Maybe Hawkeye could fit in there.

Kalyx triaD 06-03-2010 04:51 PM

It's about time Fury starts shooting shit up.

Fignuts 06-03-2010 04:54 PM

They should save hawkeye and vision for the sequel. If they are going to have any heroes make their debut in the first movie, they should be Giant Man and Wasp. Original roster. Adding Hank Pym also gives you Ultron as a villain, who is one of, if not the avengers' greatest foe.

Fignuts 06-03-2010 04:57 PM

I've said this before, but I think using Loki as the main villain for avengers would seem cheap and lazy, given that he will already be the villain for Thor. Most audiences will find it silly that an entire team of heroes is needed to take out someone thor alone will handle in his own film. Ultron is the way to go, imo.

Also, I think Hulk can start out as a villain, and possibly the reason they come together, but by the end, joins in, to fight the main villain of the movie.

Kalyx triaD 06-03-2010 04:58 PM

I'm fine with Pym in the movie but God leave Giant Man out. Way too silly, even in a movie where thunder gods and super-soldiers rub elbows.

Fignuts 06-03-2010 04:59 PM

lol Hulk and Thor are far sillier than giant man, come on.

Jeritron 06-03-2010 05:00 PM

I'd rather see what Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg do with Ant Man first, and then have him show up in the sequel, along with Hawkeye and perhaps vision.
That's really as far as I'd like to see it go for the roster.

Disagree.

Jeritron 06-03-2010 05:04 PM

Well, they're better characters and seem more normal due to how familiar they are. They also have better names.
Almost all superheroes are silly. I think cultural standing has a lot to do with how silly they seem to us.
Tons of people would probably think Ant Man is silly, but Spiderman is perfectly normal.

Kalyx triaD 06-03-2010 05:08 PM

I'm just saying, giants are fucking stupid. Not attractive at all.

Fignuts 06-03-2010 05:11 PM

Giants aren't that interesting on the page, unless you have an awesome artist like Ivan Reis, but with modern cgi, it would be cool to see him in motion on the big screen, plowing through buildings and stuff.

thedamndest 06-03-2010 06:02 PM

Hey everybody, Fignuts thinks earth x is awesome. Eleven "o" awesome.

so i walked into a comic store today and saw this comic called "Dark Reign Wolverine" was real confused because it was a wolverine with two claws in the back of the hand and one coming out of the otherside of the arm so it looked like a wicked tripod. He also had an arm tattoo and a mohawk. I guess its wolverine's son? This canon for the regular marvel universe or is it different. what the hell is going on here?

The Destroyer 06-06-2010 06:58 AM

It's Wolverine's son, Daken. He's been around for a few years and yes it's the regular Marvel universe. He took over Wolverine's regular title during the Dark Reign event.

Reavant 06-06-2010 07:16 AM

nice

Kalyx triaD 06-06-2010 08:25 AM

I hate Daken. It's the claws, can't get past them.

Kalyx triaD 06-06-2010 10:11 AM

Robert Downey Jr's been spotted in a Hollywood comic store buying a crapload of Avengers comics.

Rammsteinmad 06-06-2010 10:40 AM

No way!

Nowhere Man 06-06-2010 12:13 PM

Nice to know the guy does his homework. Either that or it's some new form of viral advertising.

Jeritron 06-06-2010 12:23 PM

Wouldn't Marvel provide him with that material if he wanted it?

Kalyx triaD 06-06-2010 12:33 PM

Many cases show writers, directors, and actors simply buying the material. Though yeah, you'd think Marvel would give him whatever back log he needs.

Kalyx triaD 06-07-2010 02:09 PM

That poor excuse for a rival from Jumper might be the new Spidey.

Skippord 06-08-2010 08:52 AM

that guy is a good actor

parkmania 06-08-2010 07:31 PM

Stanley Tucci has been cast as Dr. Abraham Erskine in Captain America: The First Avenger, Marvel Studios announced today. Erskine was the German scientist behind Project Rebirth, the experiment that resulted in the creation of Captain America, in the early comics.



Tucci joins Chris Evans in the title role; Neal McDonough was the most recent other addition to the cast, as Dum Dum Dugan (see “Cap Casting”).

It's pretty girly to bitch about that, but I hate Thor's haircut. Should be looooonger for fuck's sake.

Sixx 06-10-2010 12:49 PM

Why was a black guy cast as Heimdall in the Thor movie?

This is retarded.

Kalyx triaD 06-10-2010 12:55 PM

Who?

Skippord 06-10-2010 01:07 PM

Idris Elba
