i would totally be down with a retconning/rethinking of stephen strange as a gay character; the character's a womanizer, just genderflip ithell, get the guy from How To Get Away with Murder; he's got the right look.http://cache4.asset-cache.net/gc/450145620-actor-jack-falahee-of-how-to-get-away-with-gettyimages.jpg%3Fv%3D1%26c%3DIWSAsset%26k%3D2%26d%3DGkZZ8bf5zL1ZiijUmxa7QSYRROvz9bDySMiO3BIMOvhPRLqVwzFNLIIMfwnaqyUH

I'd be very surprised if they did Shazam even halfway right. He's one of the most notorious characters for being done badly.
Wondering if that line-up (from all film studios) is a big risk and if they have a plan B? What will they do if the trend loses a large part of its audience?

judging from what happened with sony after amazing spider-man 2 it's clear they can curb things fairly quickly, and only fox has to worry about losing rights if they don't produce - if dc or marvel scales back they only lose face.

I'm a little bit worried but I'm glad I'm not a true cineaste because this would drive me nuts. Superheroes have dominated comics for a very long time and the grip has been loosening slowly, maybe only to fasten stronger on films and videogames.
My favourite non-reprint superhero thing Marvel did in the last four decades is Marvel Vs Capcom 1-2. Doubt they'll ever top that insane fun.

The Punisher scrolling beatemup is kind of a classic. Some of the PlayStation 2 Spiderman games were very well received. Hulk: Ultimate Destruction gave players the full power they craved but some say it got boring quickly.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 20:08 (nine years ago) link
It did, but it was still pretty solid, like you the Spider-Man (2) game you mentionedArkham series really is the tops though

Pretty sure I read something about how Marvel plans to step up the QC on their movie tie-in videogames so that they're games that people actually enjoy playing rather than wholly perfunctory pieces of crap.

I'm kind of surprised by how excited I am at the prospect of a Captain Marvel movie.
― kissaroo and Tyler, too (DJP), Tuesday, 28 October 2014 20:31 (nine years ago) link
WB has been pretty lucky with both Rocksteady (Arkham series) and Netherrealm (Injustice: Gods Among Us), which btw is wonderful fan service that's actually a pretty good video gameI think since they've already done this with Marvel Studios and films, they should invest in their own developers like WB has
― Nhex, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 20:33 (nine years ago) link
thing about that slurry of westerns is the context of a lot more studio movies, espesh the Bs which were torrential and cheap and make up most of that list; the major studios were not spending entire GDPs on terrifyingly marginal investments in horses.

apparently there was a "sketch" w/rdj and evans fighting and chadbo (taking credit for that now do not forget) caught in the middle and feige said that it was meant to "signify" what happens in the movie, which is good news bc yay black panther and also it'd be so ridiculous if they managed to cram spidey into this universe

I wonder if Marvel are even a little bit glad that they don't own the rights to all the characters - an imposed limit on the cinematic universe might make the whole thing more managable?
