  1. Totally agree. They didn't even give her a 2nd season this year, which pretty much says it all. The best part of JJ was Luke Cage IMO. Can't wait to see season 1. They didn't give DD a 3rd season next year either. 2nd & 3rd seasons are all on hold until they take care of the Defenders set-up and execution because they had already pushed Luke Cage, Iron Fist & Defenders back to add a 2nd season of DD. But a 2nd season of JJ is already announced, as well as a 3rd season of DD. I don't think the timing of a season 2 is indicative of their opinion on the quality or the audiences reaction, since it DID get a season 2. But just that Marvel wants to get to Defenders & doesn't want to push it off another 6 months, since they appear dead-set on sticking with the 2-series-per-year release model for the time being. Next year I thought we're suppose to get Punisher, Iron Fist, Defenders, JJ 2 & DD3!!! You're saying 3 (Punisher, JJ 2 & DD3) of those 5 will be pushed till 2018?

  3. Scott Eastwood was one of the soldiers. Rick Flag's right hand I guess. He didn't really stand out, but did had a few lines though.
  4. Marvel's first 3 movies were (along with domestic box office): Iron Man $318 million Incredible Hulk $134 million Iron Man 2 $312 million How were any of them juggernauts? I think you are looking at Marvel's current success and thinking all their movies made bank. They didn't. The next two movies, Thor and Captain America didn't set the world on fire either: Thor $181 million Captain America: The First Avenger $176 million It wouldn't be until Avengers, Marvel's 6th cinema universe movie that they started making a lot. I suspect Suicide Squad will make more domestically than Incredible Hulk, Thor, and Captain America even when they are adjusted for inflation. In the first week alone it might pass all 3. Marvel's first big hit was The Avengers after they were acquired by Disney. Just imagine if WB didn't own DC, had a tighter budget & was split among multiple studios like Marvel. I don't think their movies would be doing as well as they currently are under those circumstances either. Had Disney bought Marvel back in the late 90's, things would have turned out very differently. DC hasn't had the same handicaps & their superheroes have been well know worldwide for many years. On the other hand, Suicide Squad like GOTG, was virtually unknown to the general public. It will be interesting to see how well it does & seems to be off to a great start. It really doesn't matter how many movies DCEU or MCU has under their belt, it's the quality of the movies that are important. If DC came out with just 1 movie that blew The Avengers out of the water, there would be no question of quantity. Since they haven't, it's the same old excuse that the DCEU is just starting off. That is BS, IMO DC has all the factors to make things work & they just haven't done it as well as Marvel yet. I enjoyed Suicide Squad much more than BvS & even though I have the ultimate edition, after about 10 mins of watching it, I started to pass out. I just couldn't muster up the focus to spend 3 hours to see the 30 mins of deleted scenes. Maybe down the road some time. I would certainly watch Suicide Squad again though & since IM 1, I've watched most Marvel films multiple times. I've even seen Man of Steel at least 2 times, but seeing BvS 2 times in theaters has soured me on the film I guess, as I generally prefer watching superhero movies at home after they're released on DVD/BluRay. I only saw Civil War once in theater & I'm anxiously waiting to watch it again at home.
  5. This movie comes out in November. Why are they releasing TV spots so early? Everything shown in this is already in the 2nd trailer, so they're not really giving anything away.
  6. I prefer the Flash suite on TV to this one. It just looks weird.
  7. 5. Most of this has been done already. They can't find a better storyline? You don't know what most means. Yes Venom was done, horribly. This works rather well, we shall see how it goes I had a similar reaction to that post too. Outside of Venom, nothing on that last has been done. If they went a slow burn on Venom/Carnage I'm all in. If they rush it... Not so much. You still talking about the film here?
  8. This sounds like it is going to be a HUGE movie! And there are spaceships too. Wow, if they're spending $350M on Ragnarok, Infinity War could actually cost Disney as much as $500M for each film. I wouldn't think they'd be willing to spend more than Civil War cost. I can see this being another billion dollar film at the box office though. The 3rd installments of their stand alone films have exceeded the gross of their 2 predecessors so far & cost much less to make (IM 1, 2 $340M gross $1.209B, IM 3 $200M gross $1.215B) (Cap 1, 2 $310M gross $1.085B, Cap 3 $250M gross $1.145B+). Thor might be the exception here (Thor 1, 2 $320M gross $1.0939B Thor 3 $350M??? gross $1B+/-).
  9. I would personally prefer to see Robert Knepper cast as Kasady.
  10. Spidey will most likely acquire the symbiote during the 2nd installment of Avengers Infinity War. They will probably be coming out with his 2nd film around that time as well, in either 2019 or 2020.
  11. This is what I am hoping they are planning. It just doesn't make sense otherwise. Or rather, it wouldn't be true to the storylines we all know. Making a film with just using a character and using a completely different storyline is their prerogative. They own the character, they can do whatever they feel like. Well we do know that they like to mess with the Marvel comic continuum based on how Ultron was presented as a Stark/Banner/Strucker creation rather a Pym creation. I don't think they will go that route with Carnage though. Besides, they already have some main villains in the film between Vulture & the terrible tinkered. I think there will be a lot of set up for future Spidey films in this one though. I can see Parker having Amadeus Cho as a rival class mate for example. Just small things that will be built upon over the course of the new franchise. I expect they will want to make at least 6 Spidey films with Holland (especially since he's in the MCU now) & he's the perfect look/age for a 12+ year commitment as Spidey. They can have 2 - 3 Spidey films where he's in high school & then another 3 - 4 with him in college.
  12. I'm of the opinion that if Cletus Kasady does make an appearance, it will just be as the crazed lunatic, to set up the Venom/Carnage duo in future films.
  13. I like him on Silicon Valley. I love Silicon Valley. Looking forward to learning more about Starr's role in Homecoming. Here's a hilarious scene from last weeks episode:

  15. I thought J'son wasn't Starlord's father in the film, but the cast according to IMBD has Aaron Schwartz credited as young J'son: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3896198/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast
  16. The only way I see Miles Morales on the big screen is if they adapt the Spider-Verse idea into the franchise, which is always a possibility. Peter Parker will always be the leading actor in any Spidey movie though. Maybe when Morales has been around for 50+ years, he will get his shot.
  17. The football mechanic part is identical with Jefferson 'Jax' Jackson's story in Flash.
  18. I think it's definitely possible to include Miles as an older Spider-Man-type character without actually giving him the main mantle. In fact, I love the idea. I know it's not true to the comics, but what if Morales had been acting as his own version of Spidey behind the scenes for awhile and comes out of the shadows to mentor Peter somehow? I don't know, that seems so cool to me. The problem with that is Iron Man is suppose to be Spidey's mentor in the film. It could just be that they gave him a part as a tribute to Morales of sorts but actually have no connection to him in the story-line. Besides, didn't Sony or Marvel say that they have no intention of bringing Morales to the big screen a while back? I don't see that changing in the foreseeable future.
  19. First Robert Redford in Cap2. Then Michael Douglas in Ant-Man. Now Sharon Stone. No matter the age or portfolio, stars are lining up. It says her superpower is heat, so she won't be playing the Wasp. I can actually see her in the role of Captain Marvel, but I know that won't happen. I heard that her role is small & I think there's a good chance she'll be Abigail Brand, the head of S.W.O.R.D. (Sentient World Observation and Response Department).
  20. I thought it was fake at first glance also.
  21. I know, it was way too drawn out. When I saw Quicksilver jump on that table mid air & time kept moving slowly while it was gliding through the air, I just rolled my eyes & said, "come on".
