Quote:Well the alleged character death may be what's needed to get them overcome their egos and team up.Originally Posted by Arnabas
Yeah, so I'll say
"SPOILERS"
even though that should be obvious.
It all sounds good, except that Whedon is going his predictable route and killing off a popular character. Months ago, there was a thread here where someone said "It would be just like him to kill off (this character), because fans like (this character)."
I didn't read the entire thing word-for-word, so perhaps there is a comic book resurrection in there, but I didn't see it. This alone is enough to really turn me off the movie, because it is entirely unnecessary and totally predictable.
Edit to add: The after-credits scene really doesn't go with Whedon's stated desire to make a sequel "smaller scale, more intimate and personal".
As to the after credits scene not matching Whedon's desires for a sequel, there two things to remember:
1. Whedon may not be the one to direct the sequel, even if he is contracted already for it things can change.
2. The studio could well have demanded the character reported to be shown in the credits be in the credits whether Whedon wanted it or not. Remember it was studio people that crammed Venom down Sam Rami's throat for Spiderman 3...... -
Things that I would alter,
1. KB becomes KD, or else remove KB from human form powers
2. change the forms so that they act as buffs but let human form powers be used when transformed. Squid buffs recharge and damage, Dwarf retains teleport and taunt and acts as a break free when held or stunned in human form, plus if buffs damage to all powers.
3. If suggestion #2 cannot be done, then how about at L39 and above instead of 3 slots for our powers when we level we get four? I foresee PB and WS benefiting from that
4. Toggle Suppression, or better yet just don't disable pool powers when transformed. Let them function normally. I really can't see a PB or WS becoming "overamped" if this were to be done. -
The Avengers movie book was released/leaked at least in part awhile ago. A previous thread of mine had some links to it and what was shown in the leaked book pretty much matches up with what I just read.
Also I am DELIGHTED to see that my prediction for the credits and bonus scene appears to be correct

Quote:I can imagine options 1 and 3 happening before the others would. Then probably #4 and then a starbase/space station.Originally Posted by Lothic
I agree with all of this. My only concern is that "asteroid mining" really shouldn't be our top space priority when we still don't even have things like 1) a cheap and reliable means to get to orbit on a routine basis 2) a serious space station that can be used to create and port other vehicles 3) a Moon base 4) a landing on Mars, and so on.
Asteroid mining will be important to us someday - we simply have like 20 or 30 other things we need to accomplish first before we worry about collecting extraterrestrial raw materials on an industrial level.
Hm, once we finally get a moon base developed, should we call it Moonbase Alpha?

Quote:Oh I don't expect 500 tons to be a planet buster, but then again it is not always the size to worry about so much as point of impact.Originally Posted by Hopeling
I'm no astrophysicist, but I'm pretty sure 500 tons is not a planet-buster.
And if it is, well, we could get lucky and have it land on the undead horde. Win/win!
A meteor landing in the sea or a deserted area is one thing....a major city is something else. -
If memory serves it was on the DVD of RCSW3 when they were talking in the extras about somethings that didn't make it into the show, they showed an animated sketch parodying Han about to be frozen in carbonite.
Leia tells him that she loves him, he gives his usual response. Then she says "AND I'M PREGNANT!" Han's eyes widen and then he voluntarily JUMPS into the carbon pit.
That would have been hilarious if they had used it in the show -

Asteroid mining is going to become a necessity sooner or later. There's only so much easily obtainable or recoverable metals that we access from the planet. Plus, you have the side benefit of not having to worry about environmental issues and/or wildlife concerns in order to extract the metals.
Seriously though, space mining will be a necessity one day. Of course we need to have the tech also. -
Here is an article that explains the latest development

Quote:I hear ya, Memphis. The Veats for me have been the least fun of the AT's. Conversely I quite enjoy playing any of my six khelds. (3 of each)Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
And for me, the Veats - both bane and widow - were a slog, not helped by the utter crud that is the so-called storyline. I mean, I enjoyed my Emp/Psi more than those, and she can feel like she takes ten minutes to kill an even-con minion. Twenty if it's a robot of some sort.
Mileage varies. -
I like the escalator skit in RCSW3
"Stormtrooper.......Stormtrooper.......Stormtroope r.......Stormtrooper"

Looks like they just updated Mids for staff fighting, downloading now

Wonder how long it'll be before that image shows up on Boobs Don't Work That Way or Escher Girls.

This is a nice change, now if we can only use all pool powers when transformed like tough, weave, combat jump, maneuvers.....etc

Quote:Well despite this, I do hope the heirs and DC come to an amicable settlement for both sides.Originally Posted by Local_Man
It is a pretty good lesson on how an attorney needs to be careful about waiving the attorney-client privilege. I bet there were some underlying issues too, that the attorney-client privilege is there to protect the client, not the attorney.
It also puts an interesting new light on the parties. It appears that the Simon and Schuster heirs had (or still have) an attorney more interested in lining his own pockets than representing his clients' best interests. This attorney messed up what would have been a good settlement.
My lawyer relatives would agree with this. Although I also am reminded of the scene Blade 2 when Blade shakes hands with the assistant to the head vampire, sees the glyph on the guys hand and says "You're human" and his response, "Barely, I'm a lawyer."Quote:In spite of stuff like this, most attorneys are good, honest folk. But when there is enough money on the line, the questionable ones show up.
Also they all pretty much bust a gut laughing when they talk about Jack Thompson...... -
Titan Weapon plus Mecha Armor = it's a mobile suit.....no! IT's A GUNDAM!
Gundams are on Earth!.......Roger that! -
Quote:Strictly speaking we've only had Seacrest, Dick Clark really should NOT have tried to return to return to host the new year celebrations, etc. after that stroke. I don't blame him for trying and I do respect his tenacity, but he still should have just stayed back, tried to rehabilitate and stay retired.Originally Posted by VoodooGirl
Awh crap, that means we're completely stuck with Ryan Seacrest.

Quote:Well done, sir! RIP Dick ClarkOriginally Posted by Electric-Knight
I'm stealing this from a friend, because I felt it was especially appropriate in this forum and speaks well of the man's lasting legacy:
See you in 3,000!!

Quote:I do hope that occurs. Cap is supposed to inspire and lead others, and while THOR is down or busy if Cap were to pick up the hammer I can see the others feeling inspired to follow him into battle. Granted Cap doesn't need the hammer to inspire and lead, but for a mortal to be judged worthy by the "gods" is nothing to laugh at.Originally Posted by ryu_planeswalker
So long as they don't show the scene where Cap Picks up Mjolnir and makes with the awesome I am fine.
Yes..I am hoping for that scene..I will totally mark out like a 10 year old for John Cena if they do it. I will mark twice as hard if they say the enchantment while Cap Picks it up.. -

2hrs 15mins I believe.

Truly, I think it can be said that the fight for the rights to Superman can be called "The Never Ending Battle".

Quote:Well based on other trailers/clips, I am confident that Captain America will break up the Iron Man/THOR fight and that THOR as we've seen in quick trailer scene will leap at Cap and the shield and hammer shall collide.Originally Posted by Lothic
I think with a little bit of editing work we'll be able splice all of these clips and trailers together and see 90% of the movie before May 3rd. It's getting to the point where I almost don't want to see anymore "sneak peaks" like this.
Also there are some sites posting rumors, please note these are rumors only, that after the credits at the end we get a glimpse of the villain for Avengers 2......THANOS. Again, rumor only. -

So how many Gambit clones have been created so far now that staff fighting is out?
