FUCKING AFFLECK?

[hollowhero]

Protip: Most Batman movies were fucking awful and Christian Bale had nothing to do with why the Nolan trilogy was good.

Likewise, Zack Snyder is a contemptibly shitty director who fucked up Man of Steel beyond recognition so it ain't Ben Affleck's fault that Superman vs. Batman is gonna blow chunks.

ugh. so much. the FUCK doesn't know Superman or Batman or Spiderman's back story? idiots.

that's why the Avengers was so good. they'd already done all those back story movies. they just started with the characters DOING THINGS THAT MATTERED.

i hated avengers. i couldnt get past the fact that they insisted on travelling in a flying battleship with obvious design flaws. one being that it was a battleship.....that flew. 3/4 of that movie was them crashing. i went in so psyched, and left very meh.

i agree about the back story part, we dont need reboots every other year, yet we keep shelling out the cash.

lol. awwwww c'mon. it's a SUPER HERO MOVIE. of course the Helicarrier is an asinine idea. but...... i was happy to see that goofy ass thing in the air. made me all giggly. 's about memories of reading crappy old bombastic Avengers stuff then seeing it done on a big screen.

i likededed that 'un a lot. made me laugh a bunch, my favorite Hulk so far in movies... yahp.

I love superhero movies too. I just wanted the airship to fly and kick ass, not have equipment malfunctions the whole time. Sorry for derailing all the affleck hate

Fuck any backlash on this one. I think it's a pretty sweet move for a guy who could basically play any comic book character he wants...

[behndy]

huh. that's an odd project. i remember reading about that. i'm surprised they're going through with it. could be good, could be horrrrrrrrible.

and..... i dunno. i'm not saying he'll be bad at voice acting a gun toting raccoon, but i can't stand watching Bradley Cooler. he just looks like a douche in everything i've seen him in. super pubchable face.

except Drive 2: The Place Beyond The Pines. he was good for most of that.

[Warpsmasher]

I've never really cared about him in the like or dislike direction. He is pretty big-time now though, like him or not. That's why I think it's cool that he chose an obscure, oddball sort of character, when if he wanted to he could be doing X-Men or Avengers, or even *gasp* Batman. He could tell Disney he wanted to play the Black Panther right now and they would find a way, you know, because Hollywood.

I hope it's not too terrible, but I can't imagine how it will be very good. There's no way it will be able to do justice to the last several years of Guardians/Nova/Annihilation/etc comics, but there are some cool characters to look forward to, at least - Thanos, Groot, Nova Corps, and hopefully some other cameos from the outer space branch of marvel. They still have yet to do Galactus properly...

"and you can be Black Ligh-Lahhhh..... Lighhhhhhh-"

"WHY. do i have to be "Black" ANYTHING?"

"youuuuuu....... don't?"

i dunno if that conversation has happened in a comic, but it SHOULD.

also, i can't remember where it's from, but i love one black dood getting his powers and being all internal monologue'y, "thank FUCK it's not electricity. or speedster. the fuck is up with all these black guys shooting current out their bodies? or ooooo! a brother can RUN REALLY FAST. fuckers. COSMIC FUCKERS.".

How badass would it be to actually see the Infinity Gauntlet saga on the big screen, for Death and the Celestials alone.

Yeah, right. Keep dreaming

[Warpsmasher]

I hope Cosmo (the telepathic russian space dog) is in the movie. He lives in the severed head of a dead Celestial (Knowhere).

I think they are working their way towards some sort of movie version of the Infinity Gauntlet, but it probably won't start taking shape for several years. Thanos is going to be around for a long time.

[Greenfuz]

I have no idea what the hell you guys are talking about

what is this comic series it sounds rad as fuck

where do I start?

It's a pretty big undertaking, but entertaining the whole way through.
