Topic: Superhero Movie Discussion (spoilers abound)

Why are these people not in charge of the live action movies?

Good question... But you know Hollywood.

Hm... This made me think of how different they made the X-Men movies from the animated series for some reason..
I mean, the "adaptation" of Wolverine(for example) to the mature public, including the changes in his costume and the emphatization of his "temper", specially in one little scene you may know very well:

Yeah.. That scene..

X-Men is Marvel, not DC. Also, X-Men movies are not made by Marvel, nor given nearly as much care it would seem.

I didn't mind the Wolverine character in the movie to be honest. Not so much his attitude (which I felt was an improvement over the comics), but the way his Adamantium claws were designed and how they shot out of his arms. I also liked the fact that they decided not to go with Wolverine having bone claws as I felt that was a continuity error in the comics. Before that story arch came about his claws were simply Adamantium; nothing else. But Marvel had to find some way of keeping Wolverine's claws intact after Magneto ripped all the metal out of his body. I was stupid in my opinion and i know he's a mutant, but his mutant ability was rapid healing with heightened senses, nothing else.

I know a lot of people had or still have an issue with Logan's height, since in the comics he's actually about 5'2" whereas the movies 6-foot-tall Hugh Jackman portrays him. That, and the constant wifebeaters and black spandex as opposed to his "classic" costume lol


Anybody looking forward to this?

...and, they're not putting any heroes in these series AT ALL, right? Cause for what i think, evidently it may NOT be the same actors from the Avengers movie, that's more than just obvious.
But we don't really know, right? Maybe some actors haven't got many things marked on their agendas.

I wonder if they start building the JL movie universe in Man of Steel. Logic says yes. But if they're going to introduce all JL members individually like Marvel, it's gonna be a tough road. There's no continuing from that turd of a Green Lantern movie, for example. But making a reboot GL movie now would not be smart, because the failure is fresh in memory. If I were Warner, I'd do Wonder Woman (heh) next. Then Batman. The Big Trio is what counts at this point. If I were to do solo movies for JL members, it would be after the movie. But I really think DC should do its own thing instead of just ape the Avengers method of introducing the characters.

Also, the reason this Superman might seem strange is that DC/Warner is having some legal issues with the relatives of Superman's creators. At least at one point they couldn't use things like Lois Lane as Superman's squeeze and so on. Don't know if that stuff is settled now.

"Superman vs. Batman" was a serious film possibility at one time but they were never able to make it come together, and it likely would have been terrible anyway considering this was post-"Batman and Robin". At this point WarnerBros. should just hand the reigns to Bruce Timm and the other people behind the long-running DC Animated Universe. (Which included great series like Batman TAS and the two Justice League cartoons.) If anybody can give DC a chance to catch up it's those guys.
I don't see that happening, but then I never would have thought Sam Raimi would get Spider-Man or Joss Whedon would get the Avengers either.

I saw Iron Man 3 and I liked it. But I'm not familiar with the comic book. I've seen some negative comments on the web. Why is it? Is it different from the comic?

As a fan of the comics, after i have seen the first two movies, i felt disappointed with the third one. Why? At least for me it wasn't so much action, but only about Tony Stark, it went the way, like Spider-Man 3 movie went with Venom. When i saw the movie posters with all these Iron Man suits, i thought that someone has stolen his suit technology and declared him war, but no.........it was his hobby, making suits.

  So, for me the first two movies are by far superior compared to the third one.

I agree.
If they were too afraid of angering China, then they should have settled with another villain. Fans were eagerly awaiting the appearance of his arch nemesis, the Mandarin. But with that treatment... it was a major disappointment.

This pretty much sums up the negativity from fans

[Pfil]

So in the original comic book the Mandarin is a great villain, and the main one, not a tool used by other villain.
I see. Now I understand why fans of the comic book didn't like the movie.

[crisis]

Has anybody here seen I Am Legend? Nobody remembers this?



lol


I gotta say... as I keep seeing more & more commercials & footage from Man of Steel, I'm getting more & more excited. I really want this movie to succeed, and I hope they include an after-credits scene!

Concerning IM3: we kinda did see a Mandarin vs. Iron Man battle at the finale, it just wasn't what anybody expected (or how it should've been)


I'll just leave this image of April O'Niel (Megan Fox) talking to pre-CGI Raphael here

Megan Fox, is gonna be April O'Neil... well I guess they spared me having to wonder whether the new movies will be any good, or whether I'll waste any money to go see them.

You should know that from the moment you see Michael Bay is going to make them 
I mean, he did some things I like, but lately he is missing it by far.
