― Aspen Jortstein (bizarro gazzara), Monday, 3 June 2019 21:18 (four years ago) link
coincidentally "big daddy dude" is also the villain in black widow
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 3 June 2019 21:22 (four years ago) link
I heard the Black Widow movie filming is actually a remake of the Debra Winger movie. She will nonetheless reprise her role as Wonder Girl and face off again ScarJo as Black Widow. It will mark the first in several planned MCU/DC/erotic thriller crossovers.

Buzz Lightyear and Han Solo coming to the MCU.

TEN new movies coming out over a two year span. Suck it, haters.

Oh, maybe that's ten projects being announced including the Disney+ shows.Eternals and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings announced thus far. Live blog on I09, where they're fucking up the spelling of most character names. Lots of juicy tidbits getting dropped, though. Adult Monica Rambeau will be in WandaVision!
I don't care if I'm the only person excited about this here. I just don't care.

did you see the poll results
― Simon H., Sunday, 21 July 2019 01:06 (four years ago) link
Sounds like Dr. Strange sequel (Multiverse of Madness) is gonna be a horror flick.
― My nephew accidentally swalled five quarters and thee dimes. (Old Lunch), Sunday, 21 July 2019 01:09 (four years ago) link
Hawkeye show is basically gonna be the Fraction/Aja book, costarring Kate Bishop.

On board for Loki 4

Watiti directing a female Thor sounds exciting until you realize who's returning to the fold...
― My nephew accidentally swalled five quarters and thee dimes. (Old Lunch), Sunday, 21 July 2019 01:31 (four years ago) link
Well, well. Mahershela Ali cast as Blade, also FF confirmed(!!!) but a TBA release date somewhere down the line, probably after the scheduled flicks.
― My nephew accidentally swalled five quarters and thee dimes. (Old Lunch), Sunday, 21 July 2019 01:46 (four years ago) link
So, plot and cast news aside, not really anything that hasn't already been semi-officially announced or strongly hinted at. Black Widow, Eternals, Dr. Strange 2, Thor 4, and Shang-Chi all given firm release dates through 2021, and Black Panther 2, Captain Marvel 2, GOTG 3, FF, and Blade all confirmed to be on the way at some point.

I’m legit excited for Kate Bishop, I hope they do a good job!

I was thinking "but which Tony Leung?", unsurprisingly the more famous one. I thought the less famous one has more martial arts skills but I haven't seen enough of their films.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 21 July 2019 10:49 (four years ago) link
Tony Leung will be portraying the actual, non-Kingsley Mandarin (and presumably Shang-Chi's pop-pop).

I saw the movie list on slate and thought it was a joke. WandaVision, really?

It's one of their streaming shows- along with Falcon/Winter Soldier, Loki, & Hawkeye

I know this is par for the course (and a "O Rly" observation); but as a Marvel Comics reader but a barely-into-the-MCU guy, it's interesting to have conversations w/big MCU fans who don't know the comics at all. Like this morning, a colleague at work -- "Is there even a female Thor in the comics? Ugh, I hope Natalie Portman doesn't replace Hemsworth," etc.

usually in regards to someone commenting on some thing as being totally crazy, unpredictable, weird etc. and then asking me "is that a real thing?" (by which they mean "does that have some actual basis in published comics?")
― Οὖτις, Monday, 22 July 2019 22:21 (four years ago) link
tbh I always find this baffling, how someone can find a subject so engaging in one medium, but beneath contempt (or not worth doing the most cursory investigation necessary) in another medium
― Οὖτις, Monday, 22 July 2019 22:22 (four years ago) link
like people that were really excited about Watchmen but didn't have any interest in reading the book
― Οὖτις, Monday, 22 July 2019 22:23 (four years ago) link
I find it hilarious that people think that movies would introduce wackier elements than comic books

Say what you will about the recent DC movies, none of them were on "I Am Curious (Black)!"-level
― brigadier pudding (DJP), Monday, 22 July 2019 22:25 (four years ago) link
would probably be an improvement tbh

it's kinda funny after all the mammoth effort of the MCU, Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse ended up being the best comic movie

LOL how many of these shitty MCU movies do I have to sit thru before I’m allowed to call them shitty? One more? Two? Ten?
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 23 July 2019 02:18 (four years ago) link
I think at this point the amount of time you've spent reiterating the shittiness of the Marvel movies has safely exceeded the amount of time you've spent watching shitty Marvel movies.

(Which, tbf, is precisely where I'm at wrt shitty DC movies, so you're in good company.)

I was born in 1974 and comic books never clicked for me. I never really found the art compelling, didn't have a regular place to buy them in my small town, and if I encountered them I was jumping into a story that might have been going on since the 1940s and I might never see the next issue so what was the point?
I watched Super Friends and Spiderman and His Amazing Friends on Saturday mornings, saw Supermans 1-3 in the theater, and was 15 when Batman came out and thought it looked lame so never saw any of those. I saw a few random Raimi and Nolan and MCU films in the way that you go to a big summer blockbuster (but I had no idea why Ghostface called himself Tony Stark until I saw the first Iron Man). I've got an almost 5 year old now and this such a dominant force in pop culture that it's hard to avoid. For some reason I watched Infinity War on a plane ride at a particular place in my life where I dug it enough to watch most of the ones I've missed on dvd from the library over the last 9 months in time to see Endgame in the theater. Me and the kid absolutely loved Spiderverse and have watched it or parts of it several times now since it's been on Netflix.
My public library has a huge section of graphic novels and trade paperbacks (a phrase I learned only recently) and I want to check them out but again, how does one find an entry point? I've read Civil War and The Killing Joke and Watchmen, but there are so many others - just shelves and shelves of them - that it's hard to focus. And if am interested in some character and start reading wikipedia suddenly I'm looking at a 10,000 word entry on Doc Ock and the versions of him that exist in like twenty different versions and story lines or the dozens of people who have hosted the Venom symbiote. It's overwhelming, but picking something at random feels so haphazard.
― joygoat, Tuesday, 23 July 2019 03:23 (four years ago) link
Yeah, it's unwieldy and intimidating even for the initiated (I read pretty much all the Marvel stuff but I'm like 1.5 years behind at the moment, during which time hundreds of issues have been published). A sense of what you like the most and what you're looking for would help with tailor-made recommendations.
― My nephew accidentally swalled five quarters and thee dimes. (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 23 July 2019 03:29 (four years ago) link
Good post, joygoat. I second Old Lunch — are there particular characters/vibes you’re interested in?The last few years of this thread has some great recs (including from Yours Truly!), if you have the patience to scroll thru it: Marvel Comics blabbery
