Quote:Personally to me it's Ghost in the ShellOriginally Posted by Tenzhi
That sounds familiar to me, though I'd've said it was an episode of The Outer Limits or something... -

Not a movie quote but this one is from a TV show...
"Worf, how do I prove to you that I'm mortal?" -
It would only work for me if it was:
Bill & Ted 3: Bill and Ted's Excellent Matrix
"Hi Trinity, uh... I mean Mom!"
"I'm Looking for Rufius!"
'I'm Neo-Bill, and I'm Neo-Ted and we are WYLD STALYNS!" *air guitar riff*
"Boys you are the chosen saviors of Tomorrow!"
"Let's take our telephone in the time machine and dial into the Matrix!" "Awesome!"
It's scary how many similarities those 2 movies have

Hoping this doesn't end up like one of those fantasy "trilogies" that ends up running 10 volumes, 7 of them garbage.
Although as a fan of the 'extended' LotR DVD editions, I'm not that worried. -

She's the ruler demons, mother of one of the main characters and has to seal away a lot of her powers when she appears on Earth because she could accidentally destroy it if she Blinks funny. -

Green Lantern was fun - and it was very Green Lantern.

Quote:Yes Guardians of the Galaxy was, imo, the best book Marvel produced during its run.Originally Posted by ThrowDown_Kid
When I first started hearing rumors of Guardians movie I went and read their more recent stuff. Brilliant. Just good classic sci fi the Marvel way. Think Avengers meets Buck Rogers and you're kinda close. I would still have rather seen a Dr Strange, Heroes for Hire, another Hulk movie (with Ruffalo) or Thunderbolts. But I'll settle for what they announced and be entertained (I hope).

Quote:I can't even read Marvel anymore it's gotten so bad, imo.Originally Posted by Agonus
Are the temporary sales bumps from all these relaunches worth it? Are they bringing in enough new readers to balance out all the fans they're pissing off with these constant ADD-ish overhauls?
I'm curious as to the decision timeline for Uncanny X-Men.
When they decided to relaunch Marvel's longest running title, did they have any inkling of this MarvelNu stuff? Did they know when they released the new Uncanny X-Men that it would really just be a glorified maxi-series to bridge the classic title to the post AvX stuff?
Or is the new Uncanny X-Men tanking so bad they're already panicking to relaunch it? -
Ah Sailor Venus, please show that whiny crybaby, Usagi what a real Heroine is like... AGAIN!

Dusk Maiden of Amnesia
Just caught Episode 7: Man that was an unexpected twist.
You all owe it to yourselves to watch all the way through the end credits on the last episode.
Seen a lot of reactions on both sides of the fence on how the last episode played out. Won't give anything away but the series is definitely on my buy list, once it gets a home video release date. -

Quote:Yes Marvel has really let it slide on the continuity.Originally Posted by Hqnk
Marvel doesn't have to worry about starting a new continuity, every book for the last 12 years has ignored continuity and did its own thing often to the detriment of properties that didn't have a superstar writer (or have a movie license owned by Disney/Marvel).
-The New Nova is a good example, If you read the Nova Series then the Thanos Imperative, you know that Richard rider took the entire Nova force with him during the Showdown with Thanos in the Cancerverse. So Starlord and Nova are trapped in the Cancerverse. The Worldmind went dormant.
So New Nova shows up...... there was a throwaway panel where Garthan Sal rescued the Shi'Ar Nova Prime in the Nova series, but nothing was ever followed up on it. You could explain him away that way, but its like he just shows up and has had the powers for awhile and your like WTF? -

With the San Diego Comic Con next week, leaks and rumours and stuff is coming out regarding upcoming plans for Marvel's comics this fall.
Due to a variety of reasons Marvel is rebooting their comics this Fall. Lots of #1 issues, new books for existing characters, and more blending of the X-Men and Avengers characters onto teams. Plus costume redesigns - always good to grab the public attention with a new outfit.
A great deal of creative talent is shifting around as well - Bendis off Avengers and on X-Men related stuff, Hickman off Fantastic Four and onto Avengers and Faction off Iron Man and onto Fantastic Four. And sadly, Brubaker off of Captain America.
From Bleeding Cool:
My guesses as to why Marvel is making this move?
Sustained historical low sales numbers of non-event Marvel books, the moderate success of DC's New 52 stealing the spotlight, and the chance to tie the Marvel comic material more closely into the Marvel movie universe.
Oh, and they are bringing the original X-Men (including Jean Grey!) to the present via time travel (and they see what a mess the X-Men have become), Cyclops gets a cool costume redesign, and Rocket Raccoon joins the Uncanny Avengers in a new book....
Oh look, The new Nova is in the promo piece........ >.< (Sorry big fan of the original, and if they had pimped him like they do this new guy, maybe we wouldn't need the new guy) -

The first movie was bad. It was so bad it transcended bad and became awesome. Awesomely bad, but still awesome.

Quote:Ok, that's one aspect, What Hamill did for me was he brought the maniacal aspect of the character. Romero had a decent laugh, but it wasn't scary. Hamill brings the crazy and you actually feel threatened and uneasy when you hear it. That's why I think he's done the best portrayal of the joker.Originally Posted by AkuTenshiiZero
It's the laugh. That giddy, psychotic, blood-chilling laugh. Of all the people to portray the Joker through history, Mark Hamill has been the only one to truly nail the laugh, and really what else could be more vital to the character?

Quote:See Wolverine's popularity is due to his attitude and powers. (He does what people want to do but don't actually do) while people hate Cyclops (He does what has to be done which doesn't jive with Wolverine.)Originally Posted by Kangstor
My list for worst 10 X-men
10 Wolverine
9 Wolverine
8 wolverine
7 Wolverine
6 Wolverine
5 Wolverine
4 Wolverine
3 Wolverine
2 Wolverine
1 Wolverine
Now why I don't like my number 1 is not because he is popular or anything like that I hated him when I first saw him plain and simple. And since we don't get much comics in my neighbourhood and there was no internet at those times I never knew he was one of most popular guys and was quiet shocked when I heard it. Than I realise humanity's attraction to crap characters and products in general now nothing shocks me anymore.
I personally liked Cyclops all the way up to Uncanny X-Men #176, after that Claremont lost control of the character and Cyke has never been as good since. -
Quote:....and you can call it ... Acts of Vengeance....... oh waitOriginally Posted by Hazmatter
That is an interesting and different way to go about it. The rogues banding together to overcome the heroes they can't defeat individually being what spurs the heroes to join forces as well. I can see it working, sure.
Big problem is, you only have at max 2hrs and 30min to do the film. That big of cast, how would you know who everyone is, or get a feel of who they are? People on the street may know of DC Comics and their characters, but can you introduce every single character so man on the street has an idea of who they are?
See the reason why Avengers worked, was because all they had to do was introduce the threat and then they could run at full speed til the end, since the characters were already introduced in the previous movies. -
Quote:and all they had to do was add Black widow to the roster next season and they'd have their movie roster, plus wasp and Ms. Marvel.Originally Posted by Nova Knight
Can't the Marvel Universe accommodate a well-done animated Avengers series and a well-done, live-action Avengers movie that aren't clones of each other? Avengers: EMH had well-developed characters and plots and was faithful to the spirit of the comics. It was one of Marvel's best animated efforts. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Thanks a lot, corporate weasels. -
I liked it as well, not great Cinema, but enjoyable.
