BREAKING: Disney has announced a new Marvel character, Iron Spider, who lives in Queens and has the alter ego Tony Stark Jr. The movie will star Tom Holland.

(Not really...but would it surprise anyone if it happened?)

Isn't that pretty much what this one is anyways? MCU Spidey is just an Iron Man fanboy anyways.

Wouldn't be the 1st blatant rip-off in the comic book world :p
 
Re: Movie Thread #50: Godzilla gives us permission to nuke our enemies

Lionsgate quietly dropped the trailer today for "Bombshell," the story about how Gretchen Carlson and Megyn Kelly opened up about being sexual harrased by Roger Ailes, and his ousting from Fox News. And Twitter exploded about it.

It's just a minute twenty seven, but Ho. Ly. Sh*t. Only three words are said in the whole trailer. The tension is creepy. :eek:

The second one was OK. Each of the scenes you mentioned are good.

The underlying philosophical issues are explored better in the second one, but the stupidity that's unavoidable in the casting choices is really starting to kick in then.

And then the third... oh, god, the third.

A-, B+, F.

I was such a great idea (albeit stolen from dozens of precursors in hard SF). I only wish more competent writers, directors, and actors had been given it to work with. In 50 years when they're all dead somebody should do it right.

My issue with the third one is that after the second one, fans clamored for less dialogue and more action (a mistake, in my eyes). So then the third was ALL action, which took away from the original philosophical idea of the whole original premise. I don't think it was ever meant to be an action-first movie. It was more a thinking movie. A "what if," dare I say existential, movie?

2 and 3 were filmed together. The fans had zero to do with it it was always supposed to be that way.

Stan Lee's daughter doesn't seem to happy with Disney, Marvel or Sony these days...

Has she done anything other than win the birth lottery?

What does that have to do with anything? She can't think they treated her father badly because she was lucky enough to be his daughter?

(I have no clue if she is right but her comments weren't crazy or anything)

I wasn't referring to the link, which I didn't look at. It was a freestanding question. I was curious.

The only people worse than rich people are rich people's kids.
 
Re: Movie Thread #50: Godzilla gives us permission to nuke our enemies

Mookie watched iron man and iron man 2. Decent enough

When young mookie bought his share of comic books and was never really a fan. Mookie made sure he got his peter Parker. Iron man never caught his eye
 
Re: Movie Thread #50: Godzilla gives us permission to nuke our enemies

IM1 is better than "decent." Of the 5000+ comic book movies there are only a half dozen that are actually novel and interesting. IM1 is one of those.

Black Panther
Captain America
Deadpool
Guardians of the Galaxy
IM1
Spiderverse
Wonder Woman

That's about it.

X-Men 2 did a very good job too. It maybe didn't hit new ground, but it portrayed a lot of comic book scenes on screen in a manner that was probably the best up until that time.
