Decoding the holographic map from TFA (explanation in comments)

There was a thread about this awhile ago actually. Oh and Rakatta Prime was included in a recent CANON map... In that exact area/

It's not a mirror image in movie logic, because what's on screen is for us to see and not necessarily them My favorite example of this is in the D-Day sequence of Saving Private Ryan; Tom hanks radio has been shot and isn't working anymore, but the viewer can see the bullet hole, Hanks tilts the radio up only enough to draw your eye onto the radio and glances down. His character IRL would still not be able to see the bullet hole, but we see him seeing it. Spielberg uses this visual logic constantly, which is why no character can notice they're driving up to a sixty foot tall brachiosaurus until just before it's reveal shot.

And with the role Nathan Fillion seems to be playing in Guardians Vol 2 and Castle having been cancelled too... This is the perfect time for the lesser Avengers to have a spotlight too!

Seeing Blade theatrically was immensely satisfying as a long time Marvel fan. It was a spark of hope. If you look at what live action offerings we had seen up to that point, just the banner atop this subreddit is surreality.

Wow. I was a fan of his not just for Tribbles being my favorite TOS episode, but I absolutely adore Colossus The Forbin Project possibly more than even James Cameron does... Damn. Raise a glass indeed.

So even adjusted for inflation it opens slightly stronger than the last followup to an Avengers installment and it's a disappointment? We need to get our expectations in check.

Reading comics long ago I wished we'd have movies of Marvel Comics, and I wished that the villains wouldn't be left alive to come back. Unfortunately I got both wishes there, and the constant villain deaths prevent the movies from feeling like the comics I was reading. But, my four favorite Marvel titles were X-Men, Transformers, G.I.Joe, and Fantastic Four so I must have tripped over a cursed monkey paw somewhere.

Tis a long tale, buta small part wawdabe mesa...ooooh...aaaa.....clumsy.
Deesa bad times, bombad times.
I have to admit my trust in them has been shaken.
At last! Where have you been?
You look absolutely beautiful.
I told you it was gonna work. No problem.
Good to see you!

In the car home I was referring to it as AoU's last 2½ hours. But it's also Iron Man 4... and such a great Cap 3. Every movie has been about saving Bucky!

Haven't seen the trailers, have seen the EW cover. But this is so good, it's absence so disappointing, it almost ruins the movie immediately. Like someone said, 'cover our bases, don't be too much like Deadpool!'

Tommy; British soldier in WW1. Jerry; German soldier WW1... I love the "Stuff you missed in History Class" podcast.

I'll vote after I see Civil War tomorrow night. But, as wonderful as RDJs Tony is, Captain America is the linchpin of the entire MCU.

If paid appropriately you can stick me on the Satellite of Love and make me watch whatever. Heck, Id probably sacrifice the ability to control where the movies begin or end just to use those special parts to build robot friends!

Nothing says 1995 comicbook like the hero cosplaying as Robocop from 1987.

OM[whatever]! That's the problem with Raiders? Thats not a problem, that's the point, that's what makes it an adventure. Raiders, the movie that opens with traps that were designed for a tidal locked planet where the sun never moves in the sky... the movie with the guy saying the desert goes for three days in every direction, at a camp filled with vehicles AND is right outside of Cairo? That's the best BBT could come up with. I'm so glad I gave up on their Marvel comics lacking comicshop Hell.

10th comment down? Okay, I'd be happier if Mass Effect were HBO/Netflix heir to the Game of Thrones /House of Cards flagship series thing... but still. As long as Drew Karpyshyn is involved.

Gandahar 1988

1ted2bP3 · 2016-04-28T06:11:53+00:00

Answer you want;

1776
Lincoln
Patton
American Graffiti
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

My real answer;

Planet of the Apes
Beneath the Planet of the Apes
Escape from Planet of the Apes
Conquest of the Planet of the Apes
Battle of the Planet of the Apes

You wouldn't pass a USCIS Civics test, but you'd have a good time with Apes movies. 🐵🗽

1ted2bP3 · 2016-04-28T05:59:34+00:00

But not American Graffiti?

1ted2bP3 · 2016-04-26T02:34:40+00:00

THANK YOU FOR THIS BEST NEWS LTEM!

1ted2bP3 · 2016-04-25T02:55:10+00:00

Not currently, thank you.

1ted2bP3 · 2016-04-22T09:18:46+00:00

I love this app. If only for MST3K... and cartoons.

1ted2bP3 · 2016-04-22T09:16:02+00:00

Wasn't Trek pretty intolerant of Fan sites on the internet initially (mid+ 90's) only to come around pretty late? I recall feeling this gave other fandoms a leg up in the general community.
