It's a good story, but going through the origin again is unnecessary.
They should hit the ground running. Clark is already Superman. Lois and Clark are already married. Lex is already Superman's archenemy. -
Quote:What do you expect after they find out they can go down in film quality while going up in box office?Originally Posted by NinjaPirate
I'm kinda disappointed that the Spidey movie rights didn't get reverted back to Marvel control, so they could integrate it with the shared universe of the other Marvel movies.

I'm more concerned with the writing and overall interpretation of the character and universe they go for.

Quote:I don't know, if they rolled out a bunch of comic book movies that were recreations of the best stories, I would make sweet sweet love to those films and give them my money.Originally Posted by Comeuppance
It's definitely a bad thing if it leads to more remakes. If filmmakers can't come up with original ideas, they should get new jobs. Heck, anybody can "re-imagine" another individual's idea. The true talent of a great many filmmakers these days is the ability to sucker consumers into paying to view the same movie twice.

Quote:It wouldn't be so bad if the characters were smarter and the show had the balls to experiment.Originally Posted by The_Dude73
I don't hate Smallville, not since Lana finally left, but I don't expect much from it either.
I've actually been enjoying the appearances of other DC characters in the show.
I think a lot of time the anger at the show is just unjustified nerdrage at how some characters are portrayed. It's just a silly CW show, not a major motion picture.
Buffy and Angel were shows about folks with superpowers, and they didn't even need to fight all that much, but the characters we well-written and the creative team had fun experimenting with different things like a musical episode, a silent episode, and episodes where we didn't even see the main characters. Supernatural is like that, which is why it's the superior show. -
Quote:To be fair, though, Wonder Woman's never had a clear mission. That's one of the problems with her character, and it was touched upon in Kingdom Come. I mean, her mission is supposed to be something in the vein of "make the world better" or "bring peace to man's world" or something, and those are so vague.Originally Posted by Mothers_Love
Yes, but the difference was it was not her job that was on the line.... it was all about pleasing Steve because she wuved him and genuinely fretted about letting him down.
I want to see something more akin to the build-up of the Kingdom Come Diana. A proper Amazonian princess with a clear mission.
Perhaps they'll make it My Name is Earl with superpowers, and Diana will just try to help one person a day. -
Quote:Kinda like how many of the girls who watch Smallville, Supernatural, Vampire Diaries, and basically all of the CW shows tune in to see the guys.Originally Posted by Nericus
Oh no offense taken. But let's face it, I think it's safe to say that the majority of guys that watched the old TV series were not interested in the dialogue and FX and at times campy humor.
And it's safe to say that most guys watching a new series will also not be interested in dialogue and story.

I'm not a fan of the smokey Darkseid either, but being that he's a god, his powers have always been somewhat varied. I mean, in some versions he's just got superstrength, invulnerability, and the Omega Beams; in others, he's got time travel and telepathy/telekinesis. Not to mention his Omega Beams are supposed to be able to do different things, from destroying life to opening boom tubes to transporting people/things across space and time.
I'll forgive the smokey entrance as long as they stay away from that sort of thing from now on. Darkseid is too arrogant for intangibility/invisibility-based powers; he wants people to know he's there and he's the one who's going to own you for the rest of your short life. -
Quote:Well it's Superman vs. Deadshot. Not much fight potential there, unless you incorporate Kryptonite bullets, which would have made it more groan-worthy. This is why I kept saying it would have been better if it was Green Arrow trying to stop Deadshot in the episode.Originally Posted by QuiJon
Gee another one punch fight with a bad guy......
Let me guess the excuse, were saving money for the big fight at the end of the season like was the mantra all season long with doomsday. -
Quote:I think someone commented that perhaps this look was an homage to his look in Godfall.Originally Posted by Arnabas
I wonder who he got to make that jacket and how he explained his need for it.
Also, this is his attempt, I suppose, to "come out of the shadows" a bit and have a bit of colour. So why choose such a dark red? I would have liked a blue coat with a red symbol, something that's just a step away from his real suit. I mean, he's already seen (and seemed to like) the Superman suit, so why not move a little closer to that?

With Cas saying that someone's stolen weapons from heaven in the preview for next week, it's clear that the writers didn't succumb to the notion that there was nowhere else to go after beating the devil.

Here's the last scene of the episode for those who missed it, featuring the new look: linkage
-
They have a hard enough time making Wonder Woman appealing to an audience and maintaining a stable interpretation in the comics; I'm worried that this project is very likely to bomb and hurt any chance of a Wonder Woman film.

Quote:Well when the show builds up to those fights that end up being off-camera for their season finales and such, I think it's fair to base judgment on that, since you'd think they'd want to put their best foot forward and if the best they can do is a non-fight, folks have a right to be disappointed.Originally Posted by Variant
They were talking about superfights in general on heroes...not just peter vs sylar...which makes their point untrue.
"They also bring up how those who embraced their abilities were limited, thrown away, or poorly written, and that's true."
Their basing this point on precognitive notions that NOF will differ from this. Again, bringing home my point that it's ridiculous to compare after one episode.
Folks aren't saying that NOF will be great; they're saying Heroes already sucked. -
Quote:Er, but folks keep pointing to how Peter and Sylar kept getting into off-camera fights, and that's true.Originally Posted by Variant
Not what's being said in this thread.
Listen...I'm not saying Heroes is the best show at all.
All I'm saying is that...it's absurd to say that this is what you wanted heroes to be after only one episode. It's ridiculous to exaggerate and make things up about a show in order to make another show look better.
They also bring up how those who embraced their abilities were limited, thrown away, or poorly written, and that's true.
Who's making things up? -
Quote:You say "Heroes hate" as if folks who stuck with the show season after season didn't have reason to hate the show after all the times they'd been let down. It's not blind, ignorant hate. It's absolutely justified.Originally Posted by Variant
After one episode?
It just seems like Heroes hate to me...and it wasn't even justified. -
Quote:Eh, I think it's understandable after trudging along with a show that kept on disappointing.Originally Posted by Variant
Alright...then how does he/she know that NOF isn't going to do that?
My point is that it is ridiculous to compare this show to Heroes after only one episode.
I mean if after Smallville was over they premiered a new show about Superman that had good characterization, respectable metahuman fights, smart characters, and good dialogue I wouldn't be surprised if people immediately said it was superior. -
Quote:Well the folks who did embrace their abilities on Heroes were neutered in some way or another in the show, which is what I think he alluded to when he said the show seemed to have something against characters who liked having powers.Originally Posted by Variant
Hiro, Peter, Sylar, Micah, all 12 members of the original group...probably missing some as well.
All characters who embraced their powers.
Compared to 4 characters in NOF.
EDIT: You can praise NOF all you want...as I too think it will be a good show...but exaggerating details and flat out making things up to "show how much better NOF is than Heroes" is a bit absurd. -
I don't think they should do Luke Cage too seriously. He could be a somewhat more adult version of Ben Grimm.

It's things like this that make me want to cancel my account.
Also, there's the lack of money. >.> -
If the low voter turnout looks bad to you guys, imagine how much of a sad panda it makes me.

Quote:Maybe they all died in the crash and whatever it was the water brought them back with abilities.Originally Posted by Lucky
I'm not to sure the water giving them powers even if it was hinted cause then the pilot shoulda got powers too instead of dying in the crash.

Did anyone catch the names? Are we going to be calling them mom and dad and sis for the series?
Mom: Stephanie
Daughter: Daphne
Son: JJ -
Of course you just know they're going to have to take on the mom's boss, but once his army of metas goes down he'll have to gain abilities himself.

Did no one pay attention to the part in the video where the inventor said she made them to help old people, perhaps with arthritic hands?
