10.20.16 | rogue one looks uninteresting as hell honestly. |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.20.16 | Yeah, I'm really digging the different vibe as well.
And it definitely looks better imo. Have you not felt those feels? Also last Hugh Jackman movie. Also R-rated. Also Old Man Logan. Also dat atmosphere, yo. Also Johnny Cash covering NIN. |
zaruyache
10.20.16 | "drama than a full fledged action movie."
so like Luke Cage |
VaxXi
10.20.16 | havent seen it, but if it fits the bill than sure. |

10.20.16 | This seems more dramatic tbh
Luke Cage was really cool, but Daredevil season 1 > Luke Cage. Also, first half of Luke Cage > second half of Luke Cage |

10.20.16 | superhero movies all suck whilst rogue one looks visually stunning, there's a lot of depth to the characters that we've seen from the trailer, star wars is just better etc. |
VaxXi
10.20.16 | "whilst rogue one looks visually stunning"
and nothing else.
"star wars is just better etc."
i mean aside from 3 (arguably 4 depending on your stance with Force Awakens) bad movies out of 7. The new Star Wars spin off is just the first step in Disney Marvelizing the Star Wars property by turning it into an assembly line production effort. |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.20.16 | "superhero movies all suck"
NNnnnnnnnNNNnnnnnnnooope.
I agree that there has been an overload of superhero movies to the point of it just being plain obnoxious, and a lot of stories are now being rehashed but all superhero movies definitely don't suck. X2 and Days of Future Past were both great, I personally love Batman Begins/TDK (even with its flaws), Deadpool, Dredd, V for Vendetta, Blade, etc |
ScuroFantasma
10.20.16 | "superhero movies all suck"
Maybe you suck |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.20.16 | Also Daredevil the TV show fucking rules (even with the missteps of season 2) so |
VaxXi
10.20.16 | i mean, its pretty clear we are talking about the MCU/DCU when we're saying "superhero movies all suck" so I dont know if we can include Batman Begins or Dredd or V is for Vendetta. |
ScuroFantasma
10.20.16 | But...Batman is DC? |
VaxXi
10.20.16 | im talking about the movies that fall in line with the cinematic universes both companies are trying to push, not one off films or self contained trilogies. |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.20.16 | Ah, well in that case I can get behind a lot of them being bland but this looks FAR from that.
Rogue One trailer still looks great, though. I expect that I'll like that more than episode 7, since it won't have to have 2992374 shoutouts to the originals, and it won't have Kylo being a bitch for the second half of the movie. Also a Star Wars WAR movie sounds sick. |

it takes place chronologically between the first films tho. I mean, it won't be as overbearing cuz Abrams isn't on production but still.
"Also a Star Wars WAR movie sounds sick."
Its not even gonna be a war movie tho, thats prolly gonna just be the framing device that you briefly see in a scene or two and is constantly referenced by characters. I mean really, the official press synopsis for this film makes it sound boring as hell.

DarkSideOfLucca
10.20.16 | "it takes place chronologically between the first films tho. I mean, it won't be as overbearing cuz Abrams isn't on production but still. "
I know, and I don't have a problem with shoutouts - in fact, it would be weird without them, but the first movie seemed to be smashing me over the head with it so much. I get why they had to do it (first movie since the prequels, had to reassure the audience, get them used to the new world, etc) so I don't fault the movie, but I have a feeling it will end up being my least favorite in the new trilogy since it didn't really have as much of an identity as I feel the future films will.
"Its not even gonna be a war movie tho, thats prolly gonna just be the framing device that you briefly see in a scene or two and is constantly referenced by characters. I mean really, the official press synopsis for this film makes it sound boring as hell."
The filmmakers framed it as a war movie from what I remember. A Star Wars movie where no main character has possession of the force, plus Darth Vader. That sounds incredibly more interesting to me than Goddess Rey. But if that's false advertising, I will be very disappointed. |
zaruyache
10.20.16 | "it takes place chronologically between the first films tho."

Nazzadan
10.20.16 | Nah Deadpool has some nice character traits that fit in well with the X-Men universe and Marvel at-large. His comically high healing factor has some cool things the writers can do with it, his use of conventional firearms in a world full of people with eye-beams and weather control powers is fun, and he cracks jokes in-character without breaking the fourth wall.
He starts to get cringy with the pop-culture shtick after a while though, and unfortunately the annoying Deadpool fans focus on this facet of him instead of him as a whole. |

10.20.16 | The trailer for A Cure for Wellness looks better than any superhero movie slated to come out tbh. |

DarkSideOfLucca
10.20.16 | Yeah it still seems to capture that hopeless feel of the comics, though.
And as for Luke Cage, definitely not the best thing ever but I really love the music for that show. And Cottonmouth is cool as hell. |

DarkSideOfLucca
10.20.16 | Dr Strange looks interesting, and the first Guardians movie was a lot of fun so I'm looking forward to that too. Thor I don't care about at all, really.
First Wolverine movie was one of the worst comic films ever, second one was kinda boring but had some awesome scenes. Hoping this one really pulls it together, it has a lot of promise. |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.20.16 | And it's because no one gives a fuck about making the X-Men film series timeline make any sense at all, even when they pretend to by erasing X3. |

Impervious
10.20.16 | they need to make Stephen Lang aka Old Blind Guy from Dont Breathe as Cable already. [2]
I would fucking love this so much, I think he's perfect for the role.
Logan's trailer was beautiful but I know it's going to be very loosely based on the graphic novel Old Man Logan. I mean all the main characters from the novel are owned by Marvel. And Fox doesn't have rights to that. So, that leaves you with Logan is older, healing powers have become dismal and some additonal spoilery things that can still happen.
I never read the comic series that followed the graphic novel so luckily there's a lot of interesting material they can use I don't know about, including X-23. IT'S ALSO RATED R so hopefully he can really portray how aggressively fucking savage he can be. They tried to tease that cameo in Apocalypse as "animalistic" so much, but it was pretty friggin bland and really unecessary. |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.20.16 | Yeah, his cameo was so fucking tacked on, but if that was just an out of context clip on YouTube I would have loved it |
Impervious
10.20.16 | "Can someone please tell me why the fuck Wolverine is aging faster than both Xavier AND real life Jackman? It was jarring in Days of Future Past and it's jarring now."
This is probably my only concerning problem with the movie so far. I don't know how the fuck of all people they Xavier in there when Wolverine has been alive already for DECADES. Still, maybe they'll have weird plot hole to put that in. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed.
Also, Cumberbatch looks awesome as Strange even though I know fucking nothing about that dude. Guardians will be cool and everyone will do nothing but talk about Baby Groot for another year so whoopeeee |
Impervious
10.20.16 | I think they did it because it was around the same time as when he said he was coming to the end and they wanted to give him an additional role to feel a part of it. He's been in every X-Men movie...what's one more amirite? |
SitarHero
10.20.16 | "This is probably my only concerning problem with the movie so far. I don't know how the fuck of all people they Xavier in there when Wolverine has been alive already for DECADES. Still, maybe they'll have weird plot hole to put that in. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed."
When watching the trailer I started wondering if Xavier in the movie is just in the imagination of Logan, or maybe some kind of psychic implant. That's the only explanation I could think of for Wolverine who's supposed to be immortal looking like Magneto did in the first X-Men, and Xavier just looking like Patrick Stewart without makeup. |

Valkoor952
10.21.16 | Deadpool was good, but the plot was too simple and nothing was really happening. Still funny though. Excited for Thor 3, the previous Thor movies were kinda just ok. Logan seems good, but let's not judge on a trailer. Gotg 2 trailer is great even though I thought the first one was overrated. Dr.Strange I have no expectations whatsoever, I know very little of the character. |
Impervious
10.21.16 | I have a strong feeling X-Force will be the goal at some point. There's way too much potential for them not to. I would love to see live action Deadpool in his gray suit.
Once they add Cable in with his time abilities, shit will go nuts and they can recruit any members, new and old. |
Impervious
10.21.16 | Deadpool was meant to introduce the character of Wade Wilson turning into Deadpool and tell the audience about his quirks (fourthwall breaking etc.) before and after Weapon X. The plot was simple, but it was all that it needed to be to bring in a large audience and learn about him.
Remember, this is a character Fox has been avoiding for years because of that hardcore fuck up Origins was. Fox was not going to release a movie that didn't play safe in some regards which I'm still grateful for because they still let it be Rated R. It was a bold move, Cotton.
Now that the intro into the universe has been done, you have enough to build on the better parts of Deadpool in future sequels without all that intro shit, which is his deep hatred for himself, sardonic humour and manic personality. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.21.16 | yeah i want the x-force movies to be just utterly ridiculous. fox's x-men franchise is so fucked at this point that they might as well just go balls out and kill off or retire super important characters every movie so they can keep on adding new ones like in the comics. man all of the x-force comics since rick remenders uncanny x-force run have been fucking hilarious. x-force vol 4 especially was so fucking funny and I think thats the closest thing to a live action line up I personally would like to see. cable is confirmed for the next one... they need to recast psylocke... colossus has been an x-force member...
and fantomex, forge, dr nemesis and marrow are the absolute perfect utterly dysfunctional kind of team that deadpools type of humour requires. domino would be good too.
i kind of doubt we will get fantomex or doctor nemesis but one can hope. ForgetMeNot would also be hilarious.
i could honestly die happy if they just adapted the entire vol. 4 arch about forgetmenot joining x-force that shit made me cry-laugh so much

Honestly, I think you're right. Now is the time to retire all of the X-Men movies and just build up the X-Force. They fixed the universe with Days Of Future Past but after Apocalypse being meh, they might as well use Cable's time manipulation to grab what they want from it, get some awesome writers, and build a universe that will just demolish what we've had until now. |

I'm more of a Marvel fan than a DC because DC seems to really only have Batman and his rouges gallery but I loved Man Of Steel for as much as I hate Superman. But BvS and Suicide Squad were complete messes, the latter being one of the worst things i've seen.
All their trailers look bomb as fuck though which makes me so sad because I want DC to be as enjoyable. Wonder Woman looks awesome even though it seems like an exact copy of Captain America. I'm probably gonna go see it. |
Impervious
10.21.16 | But yeah, Affleck is really familiar with Batman, his movies have been disgustingly spectacular and his script got them to immediately greenlight it. Deadshoot previews looks sick, "The Batman" is a great title and with more villians, I'm sure we're not gonna see the same repeats we've already had.
There are tons of amazing Batman villians to pick from so this is sure to be very different. |

10.22.16 | I'm definitely more of a DC fan than a Marvel fan in general. BUT I'm not a big fan of either companies live action movies... neither has put out anything that has blown me away yet. That being said, although Marvel is more consistently decent at this point, I like the tone of DC movies far better. They have had a clearly incredibly rocky start with some extremely questionable choices, but they have some undeniable potential thanks to some amazing imagery, textures, and casting choices that Marvel doesn't have for me. Marvel films are just so much more light-hearted that they run far less risks than DC does (which has worked out for them clearly) but at the same time, with less risk comes less reward (and also less bitter complete disappointment). So when DC fucks up its wayyyy more critical, but the things they do do right are much more satisfying. Like Ben Affleck as Batman made me infinitely more stoked than anything that has ever happened in a Marvel film for instance.
But again. still waiting for either studio to do something thats actually amazing.
outside of the live films tho I prefer DC. Better animated films and better villains. and a Hero is only as good as his villains imo. I have almost a complete lack of interest in the large majority of non 'X' related heroes in the Marvel universe. In fact I think most of them are genuinely terrible awful no good people. And most of their villains suck. and the MCU doesnt have the rights to most of the actual good characters because they are 90% mutants, a group who are slowly being phased out of the comics anyways. That being said X-men have amazing characters and amazing villains. I love X-men but thats not enough to say I love Marvel as a whole. I also love spider-man and his villains and also Doom is the shit. Otherwise pretty much all the avengers are the worst ever of all time.

10.22.16 | Man, the thing that kills me is how much Fox has DESTROYED the Fantastic Four. They need to sell those rights off and let someone else play with it.
For the majority of everything done since the first Iron Man starting off the MCU, the grand majority of movies have been enjoyable aside from some meh's like Ant-Man, first Captain America and Thor movies. I've really liked everything else that's come out.
Marvel is definitely on the more lighthearted side of things which I agree isn't as entertaining but they always develop their characters well while DC is sloppily rushing it's ass off to bring an Avengers instead of building their universe. The thing I was the most excited about BvS was the dark themes and the question of man vs God. But that turned in a shitshow.
DC trailers > DC movies :( |

10.22.16 | i've mildly enjoyed all the marvel films except the Thor movies (but i hate Thor in general unless he is in the hands of a writer who makes a mockery of him, then its hilarious) and Iron Man 3 which is the worst superhero movie of all time ever.
the only one I've enjoyed more than 'mildly' was GotG.
I mildly enjoyed Civil War but i have a lot of criticisms of it, that movie was fucking stupid.
"they always develop their characters well "

10.22.16 | DC be like, "K. We got Supes in there. That was pretty good." But then everyone is like, "Supes, that wasn't some Supes shit you did back there. Why you destroy Metropolis, brah? You new at this or some shit?".
DC be like, "Nah son, we got this. See, Mr. Wayne is like you destroy my shit, Imma destroy you. I've got a reason to hate yo ass." Then DC decides to up the ante and be like, "Batman needs a Catwoman person to fuck with him. She gonna go up in there and swipe the World's Greatest Dectective's USB cause he is too busy talking shit upstairs to Mr. Kunt. YANK!"
Fast forward past a bunch of shit they're like, "These three will forget about their mother troubles and unite against the ugliest troll they've ever seen. Cool, now that Supes is asleep, we'll just go collect some more peeps and now we got the Avengers 2.0!" We got a whole universe in two movies. Baller. |

But back to BvS for a sec because I seriously hated all that building up for 2 hours just to have Bruce fart Krytonite into Supes' face, punch him a couple times through some shit to make it look all epic...have that wear off so Supes throws Bruce around like the tin can he was just long enough for Bats to do the same exact shit again. THEN, get him right where he wants him, aims the spear and stops when Supes says a name that means fucking nothing to him and this ladies and gentlemen, is the money shot.
Supes says his mother's first name (I would never!), much less to a stranger that just beat him up. And this baffles Batty so much gets angry with the "WHO IS SHE?! WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?!?! And I totally agree why indeed...
Then fucking Lois Lane shows up because it's fucking Lois Lane, and you can't have Supes being a fragile character without her and some green rocks, otherwise he's invincible. She then says, it's his mommy's name. Then The Batman turns into Bitchman. |

10.22.16 | Suicide Squad should have had the entire dialogue re-written, rated R so they wouldnt end up romanticizing Harley and Jokers relationship and making it less abusive to appease the social justice warriors, and had the focus entirely shifted to Harley and Joker over whatever the fuck was going on with Enchantress, Heimdall on Acid, and the sludge eyeball biker gang. |

they ruined the mandarin AND extremis in one go, its actually kind of impressive if you think about it.
and yeah BVS literally had 3 action sequences. one of which was a teenage mutant ninja turtles battle sequence so that doesnt count and that was the longest one too.

this is pretty true, but i think she nailed the mannerisms. the problem ur talkin about is a problem with the writing and directing not her actual acting imo. i think ALL of the problems with suicide squad were with the writing and the directing.

Enchantress isn't necessary for a JLD film, but definitely would have been better spent there.
I think the biggest most obvious issue with Suicide Squad was the fact that they completely misinterpreted the source material. They went out to make this big end of the world blockbuster banger when that is entirely irrelevant to Suicide Squad. The actual main antagonist in Suicide Squad has always been the characters themselves, they are on a new trivial mission almost every single issue against irrelevant characters doing stupid shit no one cares about. It has always been about the characters interactions along the way, never the actual mission itself. The movie made the mission this big important thing and the end game of the entire film when it should have been ultimately inconsequential.
They should have made the mission some off the grid sketchy government bullshit infiltration that ultimately is completely and utterly botched and serves no purpose other than to steer the characters towards their great interactions, development, and psyche revelations. it should have been an anti-superhero movie not a superhero movie with anti-heroes.
also joker should have a) been in the film way more and been a huge focal point like the Suicide Squad comic arch when leather-face joker comes back and terrorizes Harley during Death of the Family
or b) not been in the film at all aside from being a clear motivator in Harleys development
Enchantress should not have been in the film either
they literally should have been deployed to fucking afghanastan where they fuck up some kind of mission to infiltrate some weapons program or something and then nobody ever knows anything was ever even happening. |

10.22.16 | They basically said they added it to make it longer because the original comic was quite short (paperback's only fifty pages) and they wouldn't have been able to make a long enough film by adapting just the source content. And they wanted to flesh out Babs character development a bit more in the beginning to make to her character justice and make her part in the rest of the story feel more significant. It's really odd how badly they screwed it up given DC's pretty stellar track record with animated films, though. |

10.22.16 | it's not that unfathomable when you remember:
"Produced by Bruce Timm"
Timm's portrayal of female characters has never been stellar, and in "his" animated universe Bruce and Babs has a canon relationship, so their having one in Killing Joke isn't that surprising. I mean, it's surprising given it's a bad idea, but not surprising given Timm's track record. |
Hyndez
10.22.16 | that makes sense now |
Impervious
10.22.16 | Yeah, but he made Babs the typical timid girl confiding herself in her typically gay work friend and making weird awkward calls to Batman and taking no responsibility for her actions. Not to mention her whole character in the movie was her being in Batman's way, stupidly putting herself in dangerous situation and being unable to handle it while also being sexually harassed by the "villian".
It was a trainwreck. Batgirl isn't like any of that and she's very mission mindset which this movie ruined that representation. |

I'm not big on the superhero shows at the moment. I've watched the Netflix ones (Daredevil/Jessica Jones). Season 1 Daredevil was cool but 2 was only good with The Punisher and that only the first half. Then it got really stupid and I fucking hate Elektra.
Jessica Jones was way better in my opinion and she's not even a fucking superhero.
As far as DC's shows, Arrow, Supergirl, Days of Tomorrow (whatever the fuck it's called), and even Gotham I have 0 interest in. Gotham just sounds like a huge contingency issue that I'd rather not ball my fist at.
The only one I would really check out is The Flash because he's actually a unique character for DC, I know little about him besides being fast and travels time, and I've heard it's actually really good.

10.22.16 | We all know Will Smith can act. Anyone who says otherwise is a troll. Viola Davis played a great role and with what she had, Margot Robbie did fairly well. Jared Leto didn't have many scenes to show off exactly (in the theatrical cut), but I really didn't care for his overly creepy mouthbreathing gangster Joker. I was fine with the tattoos for the most part (but some are hilariously ghetto) and even though they explained NOTHING in the movie as to why he had the "grillz" (another gigantic issue I have with the movie), I really liked his look. Everyone else had minimal roles to even play or otherwise didn't have anything to seem impressive.
The writing was fucked and the editing was further decimated when they tried to make a bunch of backwards ass changes after the reviews for BvS came out. They also changed up their "soundtrack" to mirror the success of Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy which was poorly done and very out of place. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.22.16 | i liked jareds joker tbh
"and even though they explained NOTHING in the movie as to why he had the "grillz""
they addressed this elsewhere tho i remember. couldnt guide you to it at this point but i remember reading about it. basically batman smashed his teeth out after he killed jason todd. thats what the scars on his face are from too. batman fucked him up. and thats also why he has "damaged" tattood on his forehead. after batman broke his face in and he was sent to arkham he got damaged tattooed on his forehead as tribute to batman making him not pretty anymore, this is what i read. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.22.16 | "d the editing was further decimated when they tried to make a bunch of backwards ass changes after the reviews"
actually a lot of the editing issues were due to the fact that the trailers were received so positively that they got the same editing team who did those to do the final film cut editing. clearly they only know how to make trailers because they literally made 90% of the movie feel like one long ass trailer, especially the fucking absolutely excruciatingly poorly paced and fitted first half hour or so |

10.23.16 | @LordePots, yeah the director released this information after the bad reviews came out for Suicide Squad and it pissed me off because information like that would've been great to see in the actual movie...not from a news site :(
Pissed me off royally. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.23.16 | true dat but hopefully eventually we will get to see a live adaptation of joker and harley murdering the fuck out of jason todd with a crowbar and then batman beating the shit out of both of them |

i like how they deleted almost all the joker scenes from the trailers that looked awesome |
Impervious
10.23.16 | He had everything. And he was just breathing heavily at her the whole time and she was just digging it. Can you say moisture?
Leto is apparently really upset a lot of his scenes didn't make it in the cut. It makes me curious, but unless they explain some things and give me some real elements of his portrayal of Joker, I probably won't care too much. Not like it will save the movie from the utter trainwreck it turned out to be.
All these extended editions are not helping DC so they better stop and keep the crucial info in the theatrical cuts. |
Impervious
10.23.16 | Joker barely even had a role in the movie besides justifying some parts of Quinn and hounding after her like the piece of ass that she played.
In the trailers it looked like she was afraid and running from him so a lot of people speculated it was like how it is in the newer run of the comics I heard. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.23.16 | well the suicide squad extended edition is only 15 minutes of extra footage, even if literally ALL of that was joker screen time thats fucking nothing... |

yes in the new 52 suicide squad she resents the fuck out of him but kind of has a stockholm syndrome draw to him at the same time.
then he comes back as leather face joker (who is one of the most revoltingly savage versions of him there have been) and kidnaps her and tortures her basically if i remember correctly and i think thats pretty much the final straw |

10.23.16 | "maybe i should watch it out of morbid curiosity but i really didnt like the look of jared leto's joker"
the tattoos bothered me for a long time, but without them i think he'd look pretty great. and i like his mannerisms tbh. |
Impervious
10.23.16 | The looks were justified by the director in an article released after the movie but is fucking meaningless when it's not in the movie.
At least in BvS, there's a lot to infer already with Jason Todd. Zack Synder just gave us a little more insight to why he did what he did after the movie. I can respect that. |

10.23.16 | That leather face Joker is fucking brutal and disgusting looking.
As far as his tattoos go, I think a lot are fine. The HAHAHAHA on his left peck/shoulder influenced a big piece of my tattoo I got a year ago actually. It looks really cool and fits the character of the Joker, but some just make me laugh like "joker" written across his stomach and the J under his eye. It's so ghetto and prison esque.
Once again though, I'm willing to accept that and look past it because of what the director explained happened to him and it makes a ton more sense. Especially the "grillz". That was the greatest idea I had heard for the DC movie universe besides using Superman's fight in Metropolis as fuel for Batman's rage. It was actually fucking brilliant altogether. |

10.23.16 | @Sinternet, well it would seem Potsy and me are on opposite ends of the Marvel/DC spectrum. But I will say it's been very respectful so far :)

yeah this is all kind of fandom stuff that definitely would be lost if you arent familiar with the comics they are referencing
sin if you like comical and satirical stuff for DC I'd recommend Gail Simone's Secret Six (the old run, not the one from this year and last year) and Suicide Squad Vol 4 then
for marvel check Rick Remenders Uncanny X-Force run, Cable and X-force, and X-force Volume 4 and Grant Morrisons New X-Men (not to be confused with the other shitty new X-men) |

Wolverine Origins is probably about as bad as Suicide Squad is to me. But Suicide Squad at least had a fantastic budget for costumes and most CGI scenes. |

Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.23.16 | hmm? Cable isn't in Remenders Uncanny X-force at all. its been a long time since i read it tho maybe his time manipulation outside of the comic plays into their 'apocalypse solution' but i'm not sure if thats the case. Apocalypse himself is only in it in spirit too. |

10.23.16 | the most frustrating thing about the initial trilogy aside from literally everything about them being terrible is
how the fuck
is magneto
the villain
of every
single
fucking
one of them
x-men have literally all the best marvel villains other than doctor doom and they use magneto 3 times in a row... a dude who isn't even actually that much of a villain at all half of the time |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.23.16 | well i guess hes not the main villain of x2 but who cares considering the closest thing to a villain other than him is fucking Stryker the biggest bitch character of all x history |
zaruyache
10.23.16 | When you put it that way pots it seems like the original X-Men trilogy was actually more about Magneto's struggle against the human world than specifically about the X-Men. I suppose conceptually it works when you view the 3 films as one big arc. Thinking about it now it seems like a really interesting idea. Too bad it was so poorly done. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.23.16 | yeah well in theory that could be great considering magneto rules but unfortunately they did a terrible job of literally all of it and just completely botched 90% of the characters along the way |

"yeah the quicksilver scene just didnt have the same effect as the last one at all. it just seemed uninspired."
If it'd been like 30 seconds long and been framed more as a reference to the first time it was used it would've been funny in a Deadpool-y kind of way. But to see him go room-by-room through the mansion and save every single person over the course of 2+ minutes just ruined the joke. Now, if they'd taken that raw footage and sped it up x2, and also sped up Sweet Dreams to match it, it would've been great. |

10.23.16 | Daredevil season 1 and 2 were both fantastic.
Arrow became absolute shit after season 2
Legends of tommorow is the worst TV show I have possibly seen.
Flash is melodramatic crap as well.
Agents of shield got really good in season 2, but I don't like season 4 all that much. |
Impervious
10.23.16 | Oh come on! X-2 was great! I think the thing they were going for is that Magneto has always been the Malcolm X to Xavier's Dr. King which is a big theme in X-Men entirely. It's the whole segragation thing. I think it follows splendidly in the movies. Also, Ian McKellen is fucking badass as Magneto which I think is why they stuck with him so long as they've kept to Wolverine. And I'm with zaruyache, they were all supposed to be a large saga.
Of course, those fucking assholes ruined everything once they decided to abandon Singer's six movie project and do whatever they want and then up the ante and fuck us in the claws with an OG Wolverine movie no one wanted. Wish I could pretend that shit never happened.....
Also, Quicksilver was one of the most enjoyable scenes in Days Of Future Past so they tried to do it again but ended up rehashing so much. I wasn't as much of a fan the second time.
Sidenote: it took them like 56 days or something like that just to shoot that scene which is pretty incredible all things considered. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.23.16 | "I think the thing they were going for is that Magneto has always been the Malcolm X to Xavier's Dr. King which is a big theme in X-Men entirely."
yeah but there is so much to their relationship that was untouched in the trilogy to just make him a villain all the time. magneto is not always the bad guy and often xavier and magneto end up having to work together / magneto has to work with other x-men in the face of all their other fucking amazing villains. bendis' Uncanny X-men run (which rules btw) is a good example, Magneto kind of goes 'anti-hero' and joins up with Cyclops and Emma Frost etc...
the moral ground is always way more ambiguous in the comics. tbh most of the time i agree with Magnetos actions over Xaviers without a doubt. Xaviers pacifism gets people hurt and killed and never solves anything. |

10.23.16 | I saw it less of a villian but moreso determined to reach his goal. By any means necessary which was usually always the opposite of Xavier's X-Men.

10.23.16 | he's hilarious and quirky and he's a fucking shit disturber and he has amazing character development
he actually ends up becoming a professor eventually after Kitty Pryde dumps him and peaces out and he gets all butthurt and takes it out on all the students by just terrorizing them all the time lol |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.23.16 | he's one of my favourite comic relief characters, but the thing i need in funny characters is that there is a reason for the way they are and they have some good content. iceman isnt just a funny character for the sake of it, he uses humour as a coping mechanism |

Impervious
10.23.16 | For Star Wars I'm pretty much avoiding any fan theories considering a lot of material is from the now non-cannon stuff. This just gives Disney so much room to pick and choose and to make a whole new universe and I'd rather see it how they present it vs seeing what it was and changing my opinion of it.
@Potsy, yeah if you're in the middle of making your movie....unless you have exorbent amount of time and money to make the necessary changes (never the case anymore) then you've already gone too far and can't go back. Just fucking make it and make it right. |

10.23.16 | that fan theory doesn't really rely on the EU at all tbh |
zaruyache
10.23.16 | If she's his relative then that's dumb. And lol at that guy's "every time she gets angry she's being pulled to the dark side" idea. Really grasping at straws there. I'd just like Rey to be her own independent character whose abilities aren't dependent on her lineage from some man from previous films. Not a Skywalker, not a Kenobi, not a Palpatine. I think it'd be much more interesting for her to just be some random kid chosen by the Force than some dude's granddaughter. |
Impervious
10.23.16 | I didn't know, I didn't watch it lol. Also Youtube is blocked where I am.
I am pretty glad Episode 7 gave us the chance to finally ask some questions again though. Really curious how they manged to snag Luke's lightsaber without it being some stupid gimmick of it just falling in someone's lap or some shit. |
Impervious
10.23.16 | Yeah but there really isn't any explanation if she just randomly gets the Force so I don't think they're gonna go with that route honestly. Not unless they bring her parents in as good characters themselves. Now that would be far more interesting. |
anarchistfish
10.23.16 | It's her fighting style that convinces me the most. There is no fucking way that wasn't done on purpose. She won't be an independent character cos TFA spent way too much time making a mystery out of her origins. It's less dumb than any other theory I've heard and I think it's way too obvious they're pulling a sleight of hand what with everyone expecting her to be Luke's daughter which I really can't see happening now. Her being related to Palpatine is a way more interesting story than anything else I can think of, and would explain why she's so powerful without her having to be a Skywalker. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.23.16 | that fan theory is mostly sound but some of the evidence they tried to use was laughable at best. i do like it tho, that would be way more satisfying than her being lukes daughter.

what is the support that finn must be a force user? i dunno about that one |
anarchistfish
10.23.16 | That "The Force Awakens" refers to Finn because Snoke refers to it before Rey starts her shenanigans. Which explains why he suddenly had a change of heart on the battlefield which Kylo is shown to actively notice, and explains why he's surprisingly adept in the Tie fighter and with a lightsaber. Also the way Maz who is a force user talks to him and actually offers him the saber. The vid is on the same channel |
anarchistfish
10.23.16 | Also explains how he managed to just stumble upon Rey |
Polyethylene
10.23.16 | I really hope Finn doesn't end up being force sensitive, not every main character needs to be a closet jedi or a sith
did you like TFA Pots? |
anarchistfish
10.23.16 | Well Poe is the equivalent to Han Solo I guess, and Finn is the equivalent to Leia what with his stormtrooper number being the same as Leia's cell number on the death star |
Polyethylene
10.23.16 | @fish he's good with a lightsaber and a TIE fighter because after leaving sanitation aboard Starkiller he would have been trained in combat and flight, right? Also he was sharing the TIE fighter with Poe, the best pilot in the Resistance.
Would explain how he stumbled across Rey yeah, or the movie just had a big convenience factor, like every other Star Wars movie, and every other blockbuster ever
"Also the way Maz who is a force user talks to him"
I don't think you need to be a force user to be contacted do you? Can't you just be beamed those transmissions from force people? In the same way a force user can manipulate people e.g. not the droids y'all looking for, the brain seems receptive to force influence even if it possesses no force power itself |

10.23.16 | Awesome, so did I. Don't get the hate for it, people seem so overly critical of little things while completely disregarding how much nostalgia and entertainment value it had.

10.23.16 | some people choose to hate things |
Impervious
10.23.16 | Idk about Finn being a Force user and I agree with poly. It should not be every freaking character. It's possible but Finn was not adept at using the lightsaber. I liked that they showed him just running and stabbing troopers with and just being very aggressive with it. He's barbaric with no training. Rey used the lightsaber pretty much entirely to parry attacks and to run until she got her "force" on. |
anarchistfish
10.23.16 | Oh yeah, he didn't actually fly the TIE fighter, but he basically says in the film he's never learnt how to use a TIE fighter's guns but he manages to shoot down one ship and then he's pretty good with a lightsaber with 0 training.
"I don't think you need to be a force user to be contacted do you? Can't you just be beamed those transmissions from force people?

10.23.16 | The main criticism I have for The Force Awakens is Jakuu (how ever the fuck you spell it).
Troopers are attacking the three and they go for a ship and it blows up, so they go for the other one. WHAT. IN. THE. FUCK. It's the Millenium Falcon. OMG Rey you're a pro at piloting even though you've spent your whole life on the ground.
Let's leave...aw damn snugglers trying to get us. OMG it's Chewie and Han. And they just happened to be looking for the Falcon, just as they are looking for the Resistance. HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. Hans knows people in the Resistance...no flippin' way |

She's force sensitive, and had been flying a pod around Jakku, same as Anakin
Yeah the convenience factor is high but what are they gonna not include two of the most beloved SW characters for the sake of statistical probability? Also they had been looking for the Falcon for ages, and came straight to it when it began emitting a signal for the first time in years |

10.23.16 | So the fact that the Falcon wasn't blown up, still capable of flying after ages of being traded around and ended up being covered, sitting in a junk yard, and immedaitely after leaving the planet, Han and Chewie were so happy they were in the neighborhood to come collect their shit...and help our newest franchise heroes continue the plot to the Resistance.
Convenience indeed. |

I hated that scene on the bridge. Pretty much cringe worthy for me. |
Impervious
10.23.16 | I think if Kylo goes to the light, no one would care. He made the move of stabbing his father so even if they make Han come back (they had better not), I think he's past taking back. |

10.23.16 | "Finn was a brute with the lightsaber. Zero training."
he is a storm trooper he's trained in all kinds of combat im sure. and he literally just swings the lightsaber around. |

10.23.16 | ok this is from the actual script
POE
I always wanted to fly one of these
things. Can ya shoot?
FN-2187
Blasters, I can!
So I don't think it's dumb to assume he hasn't been trained in all forms of combat.
plus there's the fact he keeps picking the saber over the blaster despite certainly being more trained with the blaster, and he managed to injure Kylo Ren in the fight. I think in general they've made way too big a deal of Finn using a lightsaber overall especially if you look at all the TFA posters |

Storm In A Teacup
10.23.16 | honestly though the best part about a reboot was the chance to make Luke not such a worry wart for half of his Jedi Master life, namely the New Jedi Order but the look on his face when Rey showed up signaled the puss was with him because he looked upset that she showed up. I love the Force Awakens though and Star Wars in general so I'll probably be happy with whatever direction 8 goes, just not excited about the possibility of Rey having to spend ten minutes convincing Luke to train her. |

Because they're brainwashed into thinking that they have no names, identity or other purpose but to serve in the first order ?! |

10.24.16 | Rogue One is a prequel to 4 so I'm ok with it. They say it in one line about people getting the data for Death Star so this covers a lose ends (maybe makes more).
I just really hated that I knew Han was gonna die and Rey was amazing at everything. That isn't good character development. |

10.24.16 | "Does that make it right for Leia to just basically fuck Chewie off ?"
no but it makes it so that its a really arbitrary thing to bitch about and the assumption that she doesnt "what up" chewie later off screen is stupid. obviously there was an intention in focusing on Leias reaction to seeing Rey safe. also Rey is a child who hasn't been through this kind of stuff, Chewie is literally a War Sasquatch pretty sure he's a bit more vetted.
also he probably smells like fucking shit |
Impervious
10.24.16 | The other thing for Leia hugging Rey is because they're Force sensitive. Abrams said he sorta fucked up and that Chewie was helping Finn. He regrets you can see Chewie in the background, otherwise no one would really have noticed he thinks. |
Valkoor952
10.24.16 | @someguest
I mean google it man, the whole "why is Finn a black guy when he is supposed to be a clone" issue was brought up during the trailers release and it was explained even back then that there aren't any more clones. |

Yes but I mean Rey knew Han for 1 day. 1 day. I don't think she would care that much.
Chewie on the other hand spend 40+ years with Han, I don't care how big of a vet you are, there are some things you don't get through.
I don't really care for this scene though, the only reason I nitpick it is because someone brought it up. |

10.24.16 | I also don't think an orphan girl would care very much if she watched one of her heroes get murdered and then had a lightsabre force battle with a creepy psycho angst warrior to save her best friend on a planet thats about to explode but also laser smash a bunch of other planets |

Whatever she felt about Han it shouldn't come close to what Chewie felt. I didn't mean she should be emotionless. Not that that matters, because it was Leia's fault tbh

10.24.16 | "psychologically tortured"
Technically she did the actual torturing |
Storm In A Teacup
10.24.16 | Han very much verbally abused Anakin Solo his kid and blamed him for Chewies death in the old canon. Twas not a good time for the Solos. Actually it's all pretty tragic from Chewbacca's death onward. Chewie dies, Han and Leia's marriage pretty much falls apart for years, Anakin dies, Mara Jade (Luke's wife and main love interest in the entire star wars canon) is murdered by Jacen Solo, Jacen goes sith lord and Jaina Solo has to be the one to kill him |

10.24.16 | Maul is on an evil warpath to bring down Palpatine and Vader and manipulates jedi kiddos to do it. Pretty satisfied with his arc from the last year and currently.
Thrawn has been reintroduced much earlier than he appeared in the old canon. Very good start with him so far. |

he was one of the better characters yeah but i just dont like him very much as an actor

10.24.16 | Could not stand Clone Wars, but Rebels is much better I think |
Valkoor952
10.24.16 | Darth Maul absolutely.
Grievous, I don't know. He's not really a force user, so he is kinda limited. Then again he killed a lot of Jedis so maybe there is something to him. |

It is quite the opposite. Rebels has nothing on CW. |

also ppl complaining about phasma like it isnt classic star wars to have 90% of their most badass looking characters end up being utterly useless

extremely untrue |
Valkoor952
10.24.16 | "ah man have you at least tried the Tarkin book????"
Thought about picking one recently, love the Thrawn Trilogy, but stopped watching Rebels at the end of Season 1 so I don't know if they do him any justice or not. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.24.16 | "Yeah, I mean it's one Force Push and he can be out in seconds."
yeah you say this but then again he has taken on like 6 jedis at the same time |

Then again they can fuck it up big time. |
Impervious
10.24.16 | Ok, yeah he does look dope as shit and his ship is easily discernable. Honestly, the thing with Phasma was just that she had no scenes. I found it hilarious because people were hyping it before the movie. She'll probably have a lot more involement in the sequels I hope. |

karen was annoying yeah. Foggy is kinda on and off for me. I like that he is there to push Matt and to really challenge and test his boundaries, on whether or not he can be this dual personality. The Lawyer stuff was uninteresting in season 1 yeah, but with punisher in the court room it was kinda amusing lol |

10.24.16 | Foggy I don't think could've been casted better and things will be a whole lot more interesting with Karen if they do what I think they will in Season 3.
Also with Matt being Christian I think that's always been a bigger thing for Daredevil. He's always trying to fight off the feeling that he's doing more harm than good and I really like the actor for the preist. He was in The Visit. |

10.24.16 | I felt like Elektra was there to give a shitty backstory on Matt and to also make things more interesting because they story was starting to get a lot of holes. As a character nothing about her was interesting and I hated her interactions with Matt as well. Just loathe her entirely. |

10.24.16 | id fuck her tho |
Valkoor952
10.24.16 | " As a character nothing about her was interesting and I hated her interactions with Matt as well."
Actually this is the biggest reason why I kinda liked her. She was interesting because you could never predict whether or not she will kill somebody or whether or not she was with Matt or with herself. Matt's interactions with her were good because you can see that he was struggling to keep her on the "good side", and you can see he cared about her, but she was just too much. She couldn't really change. |

Lameeeeeeeeeeeee.
That's why I loved Man Of Steel. Kryptonite wasn't part of the equation yet and Lane wasn't just pointlessly in the way and always in distress the whole fucking movie. The fights were fucking epic in Smallville (the closest iteration of what I want in a live action Dragonball Z movie), Superman wasn't a total bitch, and the way they did how he adapted to Earth vs Zod from Krypton was actually a really interesting way to balance the two fighting each other. |
