Some **** talking like the the old animated tv show or the comics is in order. On that note, saw Deadpool with a 30 day free HBO subscription (I mention it in case anyone else could make use of it like me) on Prime and it was wonderful. I know it was just a cameo, but the new guy that plays him in Civil War is what I always envisioned him to be in my mind. Sort of geeky, not to nerdy super smart world class **** talker. Douchey McDouchenozzle just didn't cut it for me, nor did Gwen Stacy as his flame or whatever the hell they did with the Lizard. Fell asleep while watching it I didn't even bother with the Jamie Foxx in a hoodie version of Electro. Stop it, man Leave it to MCU to resurrect the very franchise that started the "Awesome big budget superhero" genre of movies 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would be a FOX thing to ruin this movie in that way, so I absolutely believe this is happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 It'd be a shame if that happened, but with the production drama, and now this, I wouldn't put anything past them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 That looks like it could be really good. That's the kind of character development, and grappling with social issues, that I liked about the first X-Men movie, and some (but not all) of the other Marvel movies. (I was afraid that it was just another one of the "let's do another Wolverine origin story, so we can retain our movie rights" movies.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always felt (despite the first standalone Wolverine film) that High Jackman was the one good thing about this entire franchise, and that after Wolverine 1, he wouldn't sign on again unless he thought it would be fire.

Mr. Sinister Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Just now, Larry said: Really? You've got a problem with, for example, Patrick Stewart and McKellen? No, but I never viewed them the same way. I felt that they were more in the periphery. It's the X-Men themselves and the other lower level villains (like Sabretooth, Mystique, Juggernaut, etc) that make up the meat and potatoes, and out of all of them, no one really stood out like Jackman's Wolverine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Still stoked about FX's Legion..but this premise has good possibilities. http://www.thewrap.com/matt-nixs-x-men-drama-ordered-to-pilot-at-fox/ Matt Nix’s X-Men Drama Ordered to Pilot at Fox Quote A new X-Men TV series is one step closer to becoming reality. Fox has ordered to pilot an untitled “Marvel Action-Adventure Series” from Matt Nix. The new drama pilot’s connection to X-Men comes from its storyline, which follows two ordinary parents who discover their children possess mutant powers. Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family joins up with an underground network of mutants who must fight to survive. Nix previously told reporters that his series would have nods to Fox’s big-screen cinematic universe, and fit within the world set up by the movies.

Gamebreaker Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 So FOX is trying to do a cinematic universe, like Marvel Studios, setup around the X-Men. Who has this coming out worst than DC or better? It clearly won't be better than the MCU, so I'm not even going to bother asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 MCU was so ingenious in its casting of the heroes, that it has survived some of the more underwhelming standalone movies. It's just not sustainable, for every company to try this. It's the reason why I think the DC universe is headed for disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I have high hopes for an X-Men universe. Mainly because I basically fell in love with the ambiance of the first X-Men movie. To me, the room for all kinds of social commentary and things is just so awesome. Now, after watching several of Fox's movies, my confidence in their abilities to successfully deliver on what I think of as all the possibilities, . . .

Gamebreaker Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I will give Legion a shot. Although the promos seem to give me the impression that it's loosely based on the David Haller, the Legion from the comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the reason why I think the DC universe is headed for disaster DC has done terrible casting and director choices and was late to the party. MCU wisely is moving into the next stage because origin movies are starting to get stale. It was pointed out by many that Dr. Strange felt "routine" but it was the effects that helped it out, and the new Spidey coming out they've said won't focus entirely on origins like the 2 predecessors have. DC has done well with the tv universe and should stick to that. Can you imagine if they brought out a Batman tv series that was done well? Flash is great right now, Batman ratings would destroy it if done well (unlike Gotham which is just crap). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 GotG has the same dynamic that Dr Strange had. Incredible cast, sketchy writing and direction. We've discussed this before, but usually MCU's formula has been the opposite--lesser known/character actors + top notch writing and direction. I watched GotG again the other day and I was struck by just how much Chris Pratt carries that film. It'd be complete crap if not for him. And Bradley Cooper and Zoey Saldana are great actors with good comedic instincts but the script just gave them nothing to work with. It's amazing how charismatic and talented Pratt is. He takes over everything he works on like Robert Downey Jr and it's going to be fun to see them on screen together in Infinity Wars. I think Dr Strange was poorly written too, and totally reliant on having it's cast of amazing actors backfill in the characterization for their threadbare script.
