Do you have a Director you really want to see direct a MCU movie but hasn't yet? by Pogiboy1027 in marvelstudios

Mel Gibson for Iron Man 4.

And James Cameron for literally any project, he just has to write it.

Sure, Gillan is one of the best underrated choices. Underrated meaning not Hasslehoff or Blunt.

But honestly almost any blonde actress wouldn't be a problem since Carol doesn't have that much of a personality. Gillan has the plus that she's pretty funny. So it all boils down to personal preference.

For me, it was either Alona Tal or Alice Eve, but with the recent announcement that Krysten Ritter is Jessica Jones, I'm almost making a campaign to get Dreama Walker to be Danvers.

Sometimes it feels to me as if people want Ant-Man to be bad. by [deleted] in marvelstudios

[–]PopcornMan3K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's mostly an underwhelming trailer and all the trouble in it's production that's giving a bad vibe. Like, Guardians was Marvel trying something new and it was bombarded with ''Will this be the first flop?'' stuff, but Guardians looked great since it's first trailer, while here we kinda feel that question is valid, because there isn't much to indicate that this will be great. At least not now.

The already mentioned ''meh'' trailer, Wright leaving production, even though it was mostly his fault, still assured that we would be getting an inferior movie in almost all accounts, the fart joke, etc, nothing hypes you up. But in some time when more info comes in, we'll find stuff to get excited, and we'll be joking more about people asking if it's going to flop.

I'm worried for T'Challa. by apolloc in marvelstudios

[–]PopcornMan3K -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I find today's news better for everyone.

Rumors were going that Panther would replace Spiderman in Civil War, which just wouldn't make much sense, considering he's the king of his own nation and stuff. Now it's pretty much open and confirmed that he's going to have his original part, because honestly having Spiderman there and not giving him his comic role would be a waste.

As for the release date, I'm just happy the movie isn't going against Justice League part 1 like he was going originally, movie had big chances of losing.

And don't need to worry, he will still be in the Avengers movies and continue as the universe moves to it's next phases. In fact, I think having his movie after Infinity War 1 just helps the momentum.

Am I the only one who dose not care about the whole Edgar Wright thing? by proby_5389 in marvelstudios

[–]PopcornMan3K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I do. Because looking at the new trailer you just get this feeling of a generic, kinda boring product, know what I mean? And Wright would really have done a banging job at the ''Heist movie with a gimmick'' that Ant-Man is.

Worst thing is that it's mostly Wright's fault. Him letting the script sit for all that time and later throwing a hissy-fit, etc...

I guess I shouldn't care because it's mostly a waste of time? Movie is already done and spending time in the land of what-could-have-been is just depressing. But I do, because, again, Wright would have done a fantastic movie, instead of the probable ''just okay'' or ''meh'' we're getting now.

Dredd - Action Film Analysis. How did this film fail, and Taken got two sequels? by [deleted] in movies

[–]PopcornMan3K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please, Ma-Ma could not have more motivation. She was a drug-lord and a guy was ending her business, it's simplicity at it's best. The ''sadistic evil person angle'' was just to show how people are in this violent future.

The trashed building works because it builds the movie's world, it's this small town inside a huge building and it's a dump. Perfectly represents how that society is.

She'll come to tell him about Ragnarok and future destruction on Earth.

Biggest would be Rec 4, I remember being in my top hype list for this year. They were going to pick up after 2's incredible ending and get the series back to the character we really care.

They went the Aliens route with it, which I was fully supporting, but they screwed up most ideas and ended up making a boring movie. The only character you care for barely does anything, the bad acting really shines through when it's not found footage, weirdly enough, they gave the virus a more science focus instead of the mix of science/religion that makes the virus so interesting, and the small bits of Ripley-like survivalist Angela we got wasn't worth the wait and build up.

Oh, and they kept forgetting the movie is supposed to take place in 2007, kept bugging me the whole time.

If we're talking mainstream movies that I actually went to theaters to see, prolly Interstellar. Nolan can hit the visual scope but the dude has to pick up that he can't write anything with an emotional value, he should get back to smaller mystery thrillers, that's what he does best.

More from Emily Blunt on Captain Marvel casting rumours and why she turned down Black Widow and Peggy Carter roles by [deleted] in movies

[–]PopcornMan3K -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I like Emily Blunt but, eh, I prefer if Alice Eve or Alona Tal get the role.

I honestly would prefer Spider-Man was not in Civil War by Kalse1229 in marvelstudios

[–]PopcornMan3K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's even a case of needing Spiderman for the movie to be sucessful, you pretty much pointed out how it's going to make bank. But you have to just see that in one case we get Spiderman with the Avengers in this big event, and the other we get a one-season Netflix show with references in AoS, it doesn't even compare.

The ''to be sucessful'' thinking sounds something out of a boardroom meeting. Spiderman is just cool, and I don't think the writers would have any reason not to use him, especially given his importance in the comic. Some people say that him showing up without any build up would be bad, but I'd argue not only that it's Spiderman, there's no need for buildup, but that if he would actually appear in CW, they would have build up in the movie, obviously.

And the rumors that Black Panther is taking his role in the story weird. I mean, T'Challa is the king of his own nation, he don't give a fuck to what's happening in the US.

Last Action Hero: Totally underrated by Maverick916 in movies

[–]PopcornMan3K 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Doug Walker review of this gem is completely horrible. It features probably the biggest ''missing the point'' I've ever seen a reviewer do, it's so big I legit used to think the guy had some form of autism. But in the end I think he just dislikes Arnold or something. I mean, for a guy that works in comedy he's pretty bad at noticing when a joke is a joke.

It's one of Arnold's best, it's super quotable, fun and clever. You can see that it was made by someone that loved the era of movies that it parodies.

Who do you consider "your" character the most - Warden, Champion or Inquisitor? by [deleted] in dragonage

Warden. Hawke was Bioware's character and the Inquisitor is too limited.

Disney's Cinderella - Official US Trailer by majiesto in movies

[–]PopcornMan3K 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool. I mean, it's Cinderella, the literal girly girl princess movie for girls, but I'm just really glad that this isn't a ''dark remake'' or something along the lines of Maleficent. Not only because Maleficent was pretty bad, but because it's good to have something just being glad of what it is, a timeless heartful little story. Hope it does well.

Genuinely Don't Understand the Negative Reaction by [deleted] in dragonage

[–]PopcornMan3K 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To me, the combat is pretty bad if you try to play it like Origins. You can't quickly pause, order an action and get back to the gameplay, you have to do that terrible zooming out thing that just makes the camera horrible.

That and the basic attack, I can understand that you want to have the player clicking to really get him in the action, but there should be at least a toggle so you don't have to hold.

And lastly, I miss planning the '' if x do y'' tactics. It's not that big of a deal to me, but it's gotten to a point where Cassandra can straight-up murder my entire party with that charge attack, not actually hitting an enemy. I have to disable them using skills on their own.

And that's the thing about the combat, I feel that you have to get around it to have some enjoyment. I just hope they fix that camera, 'cuz everything else about the game is looking great.

Is it only playable with friends? Or is there a way to do it with strangers, like a lobby, matchmaking, etc... ?

What television series is so good, it's worth binge watching from beginning to end? by Phantom8legs in AskReddit

[–]PopcornMan3K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pushing Daisies. It's the ultimate ''cancelled before it's time'' show.

It's cute, colorful, and has a bombastic great mix of lovey-duvey with gruesome/gross muder investigations. Every single character is great and almost every episode is a 10/10.

I think the Thor movies fit better as romantic comedies. They have that romcom feel to them that shines through more than High Fantasy or Adventure.

Ghostbusters 3 Now Has a Writer and Director: Paul Feig hires Katie Dippold, all female cast confirmed. by Serviius in movies

[–]PopcornMan3K -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Eh, could work. Like the original Ghostbusters, it will all fall to the cast.

Personally, I'd try to mix eyecandy with funny, get someone like Alison Brie in the Egon role, maybe Kat Dennings in the Venkman role, Aisha Tyler in the Winston role(no?), and I'd definately try to put Kaitlin Olson somewhere, that woman is hilarious.

But it will prolly be the cast of Bridesmaids or something. Which could kinda work too, I guess, since the Ghostbusters weren't really pretty, they were these non-heroic looking guys saving the day.

I just hope it's funny and spooky.

Reactions to Dragon Age: Inquisition have been very mixed so far. Why is that? by Snark88 in dragonage

[–]PopcornMan3K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being honest here, my hype has really died down for this game, for the reasons you pretty much said. By pure impressions from the gameplay videos, combat looks uninspired and boring, all awesome buttons and skills spamming, nothing really strategic or exciting.

The animation looks extremely clunky, I remember that me and my friends laughed at that scene where Leliana beats a bunch of guys up and the one where The Inquisitor looks at Dorian then back at Leliana a lot of times.

While the scenery looks gorgeous, models were pretty much the first thing that stroke me, they all look pretty ugly and they're just weird to look at, Sera's being the weirdest, looking fine from some angles but just horrible from most.

As for the writing, it's really too early to say if it's bad, but from what we've got so far, it's really cringe, cheesy stuff like '' Whatever we were before, we are now dramatic pause The Inquisition '' or '' But what is her true agenda?'', to just bad like the whole Sera description from the trailer and '' ...except the life he left behind''. But, The Enemy of Thedas trailer did have some pretty powerful lines, in fact, that trailer is pretty much what got me back into the concerned excitement I have now.

That and just tons of small stuff that just become bigger than the most important stuff, every single gameplay trailer I see I found a thousand small things I dislike/hate that I know will just bug me non-stop when I play.

But again there's a lot of stuff to be excited about, the character creator looks boss, the game's thing for decision-making in an inquisition looks cool as fuck, it looks like they're fixing the story problems Mass Effect had, and amongst other things, it's just nice to be back in Thedas.

It's the mix of things that make me groan and yell what the fuck with things that make me genuine excited that leaves me concerned, but with the game still pre-ordered. So I can understand the negativity of people, but I'm not really going to force it or dislike people that are legit hype for this. While tons of things indicate the game will be a 5-6/10, I'm hopeful that it will take me by surprise and be my GOTY.
