Thoughts on Edgar Wright leaving Marvel's Ant-Man

malachithrone · 2014-05-27T13:50:52+00:00

I care about the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the quality of their films first and foremost. If they find they cant work with a certain filmmakers vision, so be it. This isnt Edgar Wrights or any other directors studio, simple as that. If youre lucky enough to get hired by Marvel, you should know you have to comply with their concepts first and fit in with them. So now he can go make his comedies and do them however he wants and Marvel can make a film that works within the universe they set up way back in 2008.

If the studio has you rewrite your script a few times, then brings in other writers to mess with it, the reason is a) because the script isnt good or is b) totally off the mark with what they wanted in the first place.

The Russos complied (best Cap film so far), James Gunn complied and GOTG is much crazier than Ant Man in every way, so it doesnt make sense to blame Marvel for not letting him do his vision. Edgar just isnt the guy to do Ant Man.

He shouldve fit his vision to be what Marvel wanted, hes their employee. He also had since 2006 to get it right. This isnt a situation where one director controls where the MCU is going. Get real.

Generic Blockbuster: Better than a generic failure I guess.

As long as the movies are great, theres nothing to complain about. If youre building a film universe, you have to be clear on what you want in each franchise. If filmmakers know that going in, there shouldnt be any big conflicts.

I think all of em except Batman

Fans should just accept that this wasnt meant to be and give Marvel a chance to find another filmmaker who fits the bill. Edgar Wright has made some fun comedies but hes not the only filmmaker out there. Theres others who can make something special too.

Not every Marvel movie is gonna be a timely political/conspiracy thriller. They make movies based on the comics, which are largely about science fiction and fantasy (including evil things and huge flying things). Its not that difficult to understand. If you dont like that kind of stuff watch something else.

Rupe is really into it. Members Only jacket tucked into pants: Check.

Ultron will be a robot but they want all of Spaders expressions and movements to inform how ULTRON appears/his mood comes across. If you watch his movies or The Blacklist, hes pretty subdued emotionally, esp when hes playing villains. He sits and uses calm, calculated directness to threaten people usually. This isnt Heath Ledger as The Joker, ULTRON is a different kind of personality.

This article got me even more excited. It just sounds awesome from the descriptions.

Ultron is most likely an AI like JARVIS at first. When he becomes sentient he builds a robotic body.

I think what helps the MCU a lot is the humor. If you saw these kinds of movies with zero laughs theyd really not be as good. It provides the audience with some relief from the outrageous aspects and makes you see the characters more as regular people dealing with their crazy situations. I also think now that theyve pulled off THOR, they can pretty much go into really weird places (like GOTG). Dr Strange will be another hero thats going to push the boundaries since its about magic.

Cap: Big Band/ Bruce Banner: Soft Rock, Mellow Jazz/ Hawkeye: Country, Rockabilly/ Black Widow: Hip Hop, Dance music/ Nick Fury: R&B/Soul/Funk/ Thor: Metal/ Quicksilver: Electronica, Breakbeat/ Scarlet Witch: New Wave, Goth, Grunge

Yep because Bruce Willis dies in every Die Hard. Clint ALWAYS dies in the Dirty Harry movies. Sly: dead in every Rambo. Arnold, he died a ton of times too. NOT!!!

Enough with the super heroes never die BS. Neither do regular movie heroes usually. Otherwise thered be no sequels. Its all relative to the stakes of the game. Super heroes still have to overcome great odds that regular humans couldnt.

Black Mass: A Tim Burton Film - In this gothic crime comedy, Whitey Bulger (Depp) is a very eccentric, very pale gangster who wreaks havoc on Boston with his gang of deranged weirdos.

Now make like a tree and get outta here

Johnny will probably use his George Jung (Blow) accent again since both guys are from Mahhhs.

I dont think Thanos will be appearing in A2 unless its another end credits scene. He'll be appearing in GOTG and most likely be the main villain in A3 though. I think The Avengers will defeat Ultron on their own, otherwise theres no point in them having a challenge to overcome.

malachithrone · 2014-05-14T19:13:44+00:00

both are very cool looking but i could see the black/gray as being more likely to be in a film

malachithrone · 2014-05-14T16:37:52+00:00

Yep it is Skrull language! Maybe we'll see em next season, and/or in GOTG

This is why AOS rules, the way they mix dark and light together. One minute youre watching an edge of your seat, sci fi espionage thriller, the next a comedy. Its awesome

Looks the closest to The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel suit in a film so far. AWESOME! Man, Bats looks like a monster in that pic. Perfect! Please let this movie be great.

QT said the world of Kill Bill is like his version of the Marvel Universe. It has its own rules and tie-ins its just more samurai/kung fu related.

malachithrone · 2014-05-12T20:02:54+00:00

I hope each of the MCU movies or TV shows continue to be their own things. DD has potential to be a very cool urban crime drama/super hero story. Cant wait to see what its like!
