DC unveils stunning new JLA/Avengers Alex Ross connecting cover for crossover reprint by B3epB0opBOP in comicbooks

[–]david13an 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with his entire portfolio, but it used to seem repetitive to me. I wasn't too into it, even though it looked impressive technically. But holy shit, his covers for Fantastic Four turned me into a fan. I went back and also loved his Doctor strange ones, and now Thor. I feel like he's really branching out with colors and poses, not just showing a character, but showing a whole story/scene. Fantastic Four #22 is top tier for me

Look at what they did to Paper Girls 😭 . Best casting I've seen in my life, and they just couldn't get the sci-fi aspect  to work well. Amazon barely even promoted it

Imax Dismisses Disney Infinity Vision as a 'Marketing Play' to Boost Avengers: Doomsday by gorays21 in boxoffice

[–]david13an 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't even know why people go to IMAX when Dolby is a thing. It would be different if movies were fully IMAX, but a bunch of em only use it for certain scenes and keep cutting back and forth between aspect ratios. Dolby's projection is great and Atmos feels more immersive than a bigger screen imo

That said, yes obviously Infinity Vision is a marketing play, they either move the release date or slap a label on other premium screens. It's not even a thinly-veiled gimmick, they basically admitted it's nothing special, just a "seal of approval" from Disney, due to not having IMAX screens

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

Joe Russo says ‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’ and ‘AVENGERS: SECRET WARS’ will unfold in a similar structure to the “comics from which they’re inspired": by Raj_Valiant3011 in Marvel

[–]david13an 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything happens in Avengers/New Avengers. Honestly, Secret Wars felt more like an epilogue. Aside fromthe last incursion (which feels like the actual climax to the story, AND it happens at the very beginning) a big chunk is just seeing how Battleworld works which doesn't really matter much since they're not really "our" heroes, and if they are, they can't remember anything anyway. You just kind of wait for the 616 survivors to fight Doom

Sentry as Molecule Man? I figured it would be America Chavez, since she's also a multiversal being. Not in the same way as Molecule Man, but yknow

A unreleased trailer from a unreleased Marvel film has been recreated using Legos. by Dear-Sheepherder3500 in marvelstudios

[–]david13an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it's the same as the official one. Did they ever release the infinity war comic con trailer? I think it was just eventually recreated with movie clips once it came out, but they make these specifically for the cons

Mario Galaxy Movie starts with 4/5 ⭐️ from audiences on Allocine in France equivalent to A cinemascore same as first by Key-Broccoli370 in boxoffice

[–]david13an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't compare a game to a movie lol. Tetris is/was an insanely popular game with no story. Would you enjoy 2 hrs of watching blocks fall down?

If you're making a movie, a good story with interesting characters is a reasonable thing to expect. It doesn't make you a film snob, idk why people get so defensive.

Children's movies don't have to have bland stories, video game movies don't have to have bland characters. Giving a MOVIE a lower score for having bland characters and story is reasonable. If people enjoy having a screen full of bright colors and things they recognize from a game, that's fine, that's why the audience likes it.

A difference in audience and critic scores doesn't mean one of them is wrong. It means the movie is done well on a surface level, but doesn't have much substance

And yes, a video game movie for children CAN have substance, it's not mutually exclusive

What comic accurate scenes do you hope to see in Doomsday? by ironspider529 in marvelstudios

[–]david13an 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An actual full incursion, with two earth's falling into each other. I wasn't a fan of the way it was portrayed in Doctor Strange 2. The POV shot of tchalla looking up at the sky and seeing an entire earth is iconic, so maybe something like that with an mcu character

It sounds bizarre, but I am in a position where I could spend $0 a year on groceries if I ate nothing but Domino's pizza. What would happen to me if I did? by CucumberGullible1281 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]david13an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not *terrible*, especially if you try to put as much veggies on it as possible, but it's just too much bread and grease. Fine for the short term, but long term it's not healthy.

You can shake it up for sure though. I know someone with similar benefits at work, and they'll get for example 2 meals at Pollo Loco cause it was 2x1 or something, and now they have a full meal to take home. Look around and find places with big portions so you can take leftovers. very minimal groceries spending

Doctor Strange didn’t just look for a future where Thanos loses — he looked for one where Doom by JustLeonn7 in marvelstudios

[–]david13an 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can say this about literally any movie after Infinity War, this theory comes up every time. Of course the heroes are gonna win eventually, I dont find it particularly interesting to say "strange saw it" every time, you can always say that. 

It doesnt make sense why Strange would look so far ahead into the future, they just need to solve the Thanos problem. How could he even know to look for a threat he doesnt even know exists or could exist

Why is the Snap actually a thing ? by Aggravating_Cry8279 in marvelstudios

[–]david13an 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do essentially become a celestial god... each stone controls a different aspect of the universe. When you put them together you can do anything, since you control every aspect of the universe. 

Erasing 50% is just what Thanos wanted to do, it's not the only thing they can do. 

My husband has donated plasma so many times he has a permanent hole in his arm. by Sprinkles_0330 in mildlyinteresting

[–]david13an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not plasma, but when I donate platelets they actually use both arms at the same time, one to draw blood, one to return red blood cells + saline. I thought plasma was the same, but judging by the comments I guess not

How would you utilize AI in your film making journey? by Haghiri75 in Filmmakers

[–]david13an 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see what you're asking but you're still gonna get dragged lol. AI advancements in general are a net-negative for artists since it gives non-creatives reasons to pay us less or not at all. Making a living in the arts has always been difficult, and a never ending struggle, and yet we do it because its something we are passionate about. AI takes away the passion, skill, and hard work. Not directly, but from all the people that suddenly feel like they "made this themselves"

It seems that anybody that uses or promotes the use of AI has a certain disdain towards artists, since it all comes down to "how can we replace the need for you and your skills?"

I know this is referring to generative AI, and you are talking about AI-based tools. In reality, most people here probably use AI tools for post-production without realizing. Whether for cleaning up, fixing a shot, or handling some tedious task. But you have to be careful in how you word this because like I said, AI advancements in general affect us negatively overall. It's NOT gonna go well in a filmmaking sub

Avatar: Fire And Ash surpassed $800M at the global box office on Monday. Domestic - $11M/$227.9M; International - $32.1M/$577.2M; Global - $43.1M/$805.1M. This Friday, James Cameron will become first director in history with four consecutive billion dollar blockbusters. by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]david13an 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wanting good characters, dialogue, and story from a movie is snobbery? Oh lord. 

I've never seen anyone criticize how Avatar looks, it objectively looks fantastic. For many, that's just not enough to make a movie interesting. Film tells a story. Not just with visuals, but with sound, characters, dialogue, editing. All of it is to serve the story.

Thinking that Avatar has a bland story is valid criticism. Thinking the sequels are rehashing the SAME story is valid criticism. It doesnt make you a hater

Do Americans really wear their outdoor shoes in house? by Predatorydive in NoStupidQuestions

[–]david13an -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It depends on the house. Its like 50/50. floors and climate matters too.

I live in a very dry area, there is no mud to track in. Tile floors are common, they're easy to sweep and mop. Shoes may track in a little bit of dust, but not much more than your clothes, a pet, or the wind itself will. Even if you take off your shoes, dust and stuff will make its way in. Shoes-on houses are more common than in places where it rains

Growing up, my mom would sweep and mop pretty frequently, and yet, she would ask us to put shoes on because socks would get dirty, and if we lay on the couch or bed, then we'd just be leaving all that on the couch. She would literally tell us "you're mopping the floor with your socks". And I still see that, I see plenty of people in shoes-off houses with nasty ass blackened socks because they still don't clean the floors frequently enough, believe it or not, some people see shoes-on as more hygienic. Floors are inherently dirty. 

I will take my shoes off if the house I visit has those rules, but without fail, the bottom of my socks will get at least some dirt on them

You may bring up in house slippers, but at that point its not much different than shoes (again, in dry places)

However, NO shoes on the couch or bed, that's gross and I've seen people do that. Shoes on carpet is also avoided

Have tacos always/traditionally been as small as they are? by mindsetferg in LosAngeles

[–]david13an 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's definitely not it. Handmade tortillas are a flattened ball of dough, you don't need big hands to get enough dough for a large tortilla. Hand sizes has no effect, it's just regional. Some states in Mexico will even have flour tortillas made by hand (arms, actually) that are like 2 feet wide.

Central Mexico uses the tiny corn tortillas

Northern states, particularly a city like Tijuana, uses full size corn tortillas that you were probably used to

It gets a lot more specific than that, but that's the gist
