comes across as more of a euphemism in your DN and o my god i'm gonna be sick

Neanderthal, Thursday, 10 March 2016 23:13 (eight years ago) link

given how old spidey sounds here, i'm guessing aunt may will be played by... brie larson?

qualx, Friday, 11 March 2016 02:55 (eight years ago) link

Marisa Tomei. Yes, seriously.

The Spidey costume looks too smooth compared to the rest.

Surely you meant to say "Academy Award Winning Actress Marisa Tomei".

i would go to town on her messy platter

jesus christ does every one of these movies have to pose some sort of huge existential threat to humanity?

wizzz! (amateurist), Friday, 11 March 2016 05:36 (eight years ago) link

kinda how superheroes work, tho hoping for this one to be more internal-facing instead of NYC getting whack-a-moled again

Neanderthal, Friday, 11 March 2016 05:38 (eight years ago) link

not really, why can't it be like a guy in a big mouse costume threatening to rob the first municipal bank?

wizzz! (amateurist), Friday, 11 March 2016 06:20 (eight years ago) link

Spidey looks like Japanese Spider Man

Better than Turkish Spider-Man...

Nhex, Friday, 11 March 2016 08:01 (eight years ago) link

The three Iron Man movies and Ant-Man didn't have existential threats to humanity, just some corrupt arms dealers. Neither did Guardians of the Galaxy, technically, though I guess existential threat to another planet than Earth isn't really that different?

Tuomas, Friday, 11 March 2016 09:44 (eight years ago) link

the norton hulk movie didn't either.

ripple-chested beefchrist (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 11 March 2016 10:23 (eight years ago) link

Nor did the first Thor movie.

Tuomas, Friday, 11 March 2016 10:28 (eight years ago) link

So, "every one of these movies" = 5 of the 12 movies released so far.

Tuomas, Friday, 11 March 2016 10:30 (eight years ago) link

Still, a failure to heed the wise words of Nigel Kneale:

"I didn't want to go on repeating because Professor Quatermass had already saved the world from ultimate destruction three times, and that seemed to me to be quite enough."

Constant threat escalation has been probably the main narrative problem in Marvel's comics for the past decade or so. It's hard to maintain a range of tones when you're always all BLACK BLACK BLACKER EVEN BLACKER NOW IF THAT'S POSSIBLE. I'm hoping that Secret Wars has lanced that boil for a while and that Infinity War will do likewise for the MCU. I assume that most of the individual character movies in the ramp-up will feature fewer world-demolishing threats.

Going To Town On Aunt May's Mezze Platter (Old Lunch), Friday, 11 March 2016 13:43 (eight years ago) link

afaict from the trailers there's no existential threat to humanity in this very picture right here. it's about ~friendship~ man.

Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Friday, 11 March 2016 19:51 (eight years ago) link

I was going to say that this movie appears to be about the fallout of living through escalating existential threats to humanity rather being about a threat in and of itself but it seemed like everyone involved was really enjoying the conversation

^^^^

surely DC's guilty of this too?

Οὖτις, Friday, 11 March 2016 19:55 (eight years ago) link

who is doing spidey's voice there?

ulysses, Friday, 11 March 2016 20:03 (eight years ago) link

xpost Yes, DC is definitely guilty of that, too, but I'd argue that their main narrative problem is not knowing what the fuck they're doing.

Spidey's voice is presumably Tom Holland, no?

I am assured _____ ____ appears as an actual villain

μpright mammal (mh), Friday, 11 March 2016 20:23 (eight years ago) link

I'm going to be sorely disappointed if they don't manage to sneak in at least one instance of Cap accusing Stark of feeding the rich while he buries the poor, or Hawkeye exclaiming, "Ain't that fresh."

Going To Town On Aunt May's Mezze Platter (Old Lunch), Friday, 11 March 2016 20:28 (eight years ago) link

Yeah, I read about _____ ____. Wish I hadn't. I just need to stop reading the nerd press altogether.

Going To Town On Aunt May's Mezze Platter (Old Lunch), Friday, 11 March 2016 20:28 (eight years ago) link

I'm glad there might be another act not spoiled by the trailers, at least

μpright mammal (mh), Friday, 11 March 2016 20:29 (eight years ago) link

I love how Thor just fucks off once in a while. He's like Superman with no real affinity for earth and a home planet to return to.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 11 March 2016 20:48 (eight years ago) link

he's fond of midgard but let's be real, there's more important shit sometimes

μpright mammal (mh), Friday, 11 March 2016 21:19 (eight years ago) link

or Hawkeye exclaiming, "Ain't that fresh."
If he says "Ain't that riiiiich" in the style of Axl Rose in "Civil War", this whole MCU thing will have been worth it

Nhex, Friday, 11 March 2016 21:32 (eight years ago) link

What's so civil about war, anyway?

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 11 March 2016 21:36 (eight years ago) link

theyre not kissing, boooooo

maybe i missed something, but didn’t the trailer begin with the heroes watching footage of the mass destruction of several major cities? or was that from an earlier film? i don’t know, they all kind of run together for me.

wizzz! (amateurist), Friday, 11 March 2016 23:12 (eight years ago) link

i feel like we should blame all of this on roland emmerich, are you guys cool with that?

Yes, they are watching clips from Avengers, Avengers 2, and Captain America 2. I'm not sure why you need to make such sweeping statements if you haven't even seen these films?

Tuomas, Friday, 11 March 2016 23:16 (eight years ago) link

i have seen them, unfortunately. after awhile all the footage of cities being destroyed kind of runs together.

wizzz! (amateurist), Friday, 11 March 2016 23:18 (eight years ago) link

the recent marvel movies i missed have been ant-man, x men - days of future past, the last two spider-man reboots, and deadpool (you couldn't pay me to see the latter)

wizzz! (amateurist), Friday, 11 March 2016 23:20 (eight years ago) link

btw only one of those is a "marvel" movie
