I think there's a good chance of Guardians of the Galaxy being a relative flop, which will put an end to any idea of the cosmic/weird side of Marvel in favor of more mainstream/actiony stuff. That's just the way it goes with needing to appeal to an audience that mostly doesn't read comics.

Saw a trailer for the new Spidey last night, it looks absolutely terrible - whatever the MCU flaws, they're just so much better than the Spider-Man or X-Men movie universes.

xpost Yeah, they do kinda goofy and perfunctory stuff, like putting the X-Men in black leather when the first movie came out and revamping Spider-Man to give him organic jizz web shooters. I guess Coulson is part of the MU proper now? That's something.

The new Spider-Man action scenes still look like videogame cut scenes, which is pretty ridic for a blockbuster in 2014.

Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk in the Daredevil series.

Nhex, Tuesday, 10 June 2014 22:55 (nine years ago) link

Can't see the DD series being much cop.

Has there been a half-decent live action superhero show since Batman?

They'll cycle through and then...reboot!

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 24 July 2014 22:18 (nine years ago) link

I guess RDJ said "Eh, just gimme one more Avengers movie, I need to take a nap."

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 24 July 2014 22:18 (nine years ago) link

has this been confirmed anywhere aside from twitpic?

da croupier, Thursday, 24 July 2014 22:19 (nine years ago) link

awful optimistic of them to assume phrases like WORLD WAR and CIVIL WAR won't be gauche in 2018

da croupier, Thursday, 24 July 2014 22:20 (nine years ago) link

xpost -- Not really. But if you're going to release a fake, now's the time.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 24 July 2014 22:21 (nine years ago) link

Didn't that come out months ago, though?

boney tassel (sic), Thursday, 24 July 2014 22:30 (nine years ago) link

Wouldn't be surprised at all!

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 24 July 2014 22:31 (nine years ago) link

God I hope the world ends before then.

It's totally fake. Everyone knows Civil War comes before Fallen Son.

Frederik B, Friday, 25 July 2014 02:30 (nine years ago) link

WOW, THE INHUMANS! A man who can't talk lest he destroy the world and a woman with magic mutant hair iirc. Maybe some kind of underwater green guy?

Or maybe the next one will be about Mosaic and we'll get commentary like this.

Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Friday, 25 July 2014 13:28 (nine years ago) link

Maybe Ty Burrell...?
