Superhero/Comic Based Films & Tv - Vol.2

[Natalie the Cat]

Thor: Love and Thunder looks really gay and I approve of that.

[movieartman]

Speaking of really gay, lesbian centric CW shows Batwoman & Legends of Tomorrow have sadly been canceled (legends on a giant cliffhanger apparently)

Who knows how accurate it is but Shulkie is being referred to as "a mess"

1st trailer - https://youtu.be/gim2kprjL50

Looks fairly good to me.
CGI is inconsistent but mostly fine.
Happy Tim Roth & the Abomination are getting used & while I appreciate the overall more faithful design I wish Abomination's face was more menacing/monstrous.

The Russo Brothers are tragically confirmed to not be directing the next 2 Avengers films (please god don't let it be waititi)
The director for Captain America 4 is a very weird choice, he did the Cloverfield Parodox which got bad reviews and not much else of note.
The lack of the previously announced Armor Wars (war machine show) is disturbing.

Dr Fate is easily the part of the film I am most interested in. Viola Davis (amanda waller) has been added to the cast.

Much more epic than the first.

Inexplicably Jake Gyllenhaal will star in a movie adaptation of edgy 90s Rob Liefeld character Prophet from the director of Netflix's Extraction.


DC canceling the nearly complete 90 million dollar Batgirl movie may have opened Pandora's Box unfortunately. Netflix just canceled it's Grendel series after nearly the whole first season was already filmed - https://comicbookmovie.com/comics/dark_ ... on-a197102

Armor Wars is now being made into a movie instead of a TV series.

- Cavill is officially back in the DCEU.
Profoundly pleased.

SPOILER: Show

- James Gunn & Peter Safran have been officially declared to be the Kevin Feige type managers of the universe going forward.
This seems like a good option as Gunn had direct experience with Feige & saw how to manage things working under him and he wrote Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead & praised the Snyder Cut so hopefully he will be less likely to fully burn away all Snyder aspects of the universe going forward. He also is a artist himself so I think he will be relatively hands off and not force other directors/writers to conform their films to his jokey/vulgar style from TSS/Peacemaker.

In 2018...

Kinda think the days of “DC messing things up” is going to be over soon if it already isn’t.

ANNNNNNNND Cavill is bloody out again as Gunn wants to write a young Year One style Superman movie focused on him working at the Daily Planet.
Wonder Woman 3 is canceled and Patty left.
Momoa will likely be recast as Lobo so no Aquaman 3 (leaks are claiming Aqua2 is going to be close to god damn AdamWest/WW84 in tone, what in the actual fuck)
The Rock says Gunn has zero plans to use Black Adam in the first phase of the new universe.
And the radioactive acid salt on the wound is the fact that the Superman movie by the POS who said that the 9/11 first responders weren't human and deserved to die is still apparently moving forward.

As I said when Affleck left directing his Batman movie...

Sorry for late reply, Ta-Nehisi Coates who made the above statement is writing a period piece black Superman movie & it will be produced by JJ Abrams (the guy many would say ruined both Star Trek & Star Wars)

Coates is capable of being a good writer (the first 8 or so issues of his Black Panther run were fantastic, I need to finish it) as long as he isn't writing about America (his Panther run was set entirely in Wakanda) but his unhinged political opinions can deeply disturb his writing when they mix. He was given the job of writing a Captain America run and the very first thing he says in a interview about it is that he always hated America and never understood why someone would want to represent it. His Cap run ended up being ok/meh from what I have heard but Steve was apparently treated like a side character in his own book.

Having someone like Coates write a American icon like Cap/Superman is like having Louis Farrakhan write a story about Jews IMO. I am not saying he should not get work as I hate cancel culture/blacklisting but he is not a moral or appropriate fit for these specific characters/projects IMO.

I just found out the script for Avengers: Kang Dynasty got leaked. If even half this shit is true I'm fuming. I have no idea if any of this will be kept in Doomsday, but I'll leave it as a spoiler just in case.

Well this does explain why the hell season 3 of What If needed to use Captain Carter again and add Howard The Duck's original daughter for some reason. Like, I know A-Force is supposed to be powerful, but Watchers are way out of most heroes' leagues come on, man!

I have a lot of thoughts on the state of comicbook movies and studio malarkey since the first Amazing Spider-Man movie came out way back in the day, but honestly I'm going to save all that for after I watch Fantastic Four: First Steps and maybe the new Superman (I'm so on the fence with it, combination of horrific DC mismanagement and all the tax write off deduction hell Warner Brothers has been scrapping their projects with, I really don't want to support them if I don't need to). As a guy that's been reading comics the last 22 years of my life I will share my personal view point:

"Wow! My favorite Avengers villain will be the guy to replace Thanos as the main villain of the next saga! It's a dream come true! I hope this actor does a good job- Oh damn and Quantumania was pretty cool in homaging bronze age comics tenancies lets so how- Oh, it under performed, I guess Thor 4 really turned people off- No no no Majors why did you commit a crime like that! Okay, it's not the end of the world, they can just recast Kang, Yahya Abdul-Mateen did an awesome job as Black Manta maybe they could- Ah he's doing Wonder Man, I wonder who else could- Oh no no no, The Marvels bombed pretty hard, even somehow worse than The Flash- And now Cap 4 and Thunderbolts are pushed a full year!? Disney what are you doing- AND NOW THEY'RE KICKING KANG OUT OF THE NEXT AVENGERS MOVIE ENTIRELY!"

I know that rambling was childish, but this is the same stupidity Sony did when Amazing Spider-Man 2 under performed. "Uh oh time to reboot and destroy all our plans we promise in the span of two years!" And you wonder why audiences have zero confidence between the random Spider-Man villains movies, DC still needing to release four movies after announcing a total reset (or partially given Gunn's weird comments), and now this. You set things up only for no pay off and a high likelihood to just reboot everything after purposefully leaving SO. MANY. DANG. PLOT THREADS. HANGING. All they had to do was just recast the guy and kept going; if you lost confidence in Kang carrying an Avengers movie then make him the main villain of Dr. Strange 3; hell, have Dormammu take the place of the Beyonder(s) and say he's an exiled Beyonder, nobody batted an eye when Ego got elevated to a Celestial so that might work! Instead the plan go rewritten in a year! Now nobody knows what direction anyone is going. Like guys, guys, GUYS. I'm telling you now, as both a 90s kid and a comics reader. This isn't just stupid, this can hurt not just Marvel, but superhero comics on the whole for quite some time if (looking like "will" and I hope it isn't) long term. Like actual multi-generational brand damage incoming, whoever has been left is going to walk away and not come back for anything in the future.

Like, I am one of the few people that actually does watch all the mini series and I personally am not bothered by the upkeep in continuity and even I am planning on checking out after Secret Wars barring anything worthy revolving around the Hulk or Dr. Strange. The MCU needed a rest or at least set to just one movie a year for a while. MatPat did a Film Theory episode about this, a hard reboot without resolving everything will kill any credibility you had with your audience. You're not getting most of them back in round two. Maybe the next Superman will prove me wrong, but I'm not putting money down.
