Mr. Hog

Am I the only one that is ecstatic that Jackman will be done playing Wolverine after this movie? I was hoping he would have been axed for the DOFP movie. He is and has always been completely wrong for the part.

 

I hear the next Wolverine will be more like the real, comic book version. Shorter, meaner, stockier, and more feral.

 

That would be a great way to get audiences to forget this 6'1", genteel, Abercrombie and Fitch model- version of "Wolverine" nonsense that has been Hugh Jackman thus far.

 

-J.

Oh dear lord me too... Soooo glad.

Wow that looks like something right out of a toy box... That's a good thing? Never been a huge superman fan so I don't know.

is that a 5.4

Hahaha. I'm going to have to post mine like this too.

With the current hard feelings between Fox and Disney's CEO, you may be on to something. Heck, he cancelled the comic titles to spite them. Why not trying and plug in the characters wherever he can?

 

Maybe the step down at 21st Century Fox ,the son taking over, will change the dynamic.

 

(emphasis mine) "...James, and other people familiar with the company, describe him as curious and a risk taker like his father. But they also cite two big differences that they like: James is less sentimental about certain assets than his father..."

 

Who knows. Maybe some doors will re-open, hands will shake and...

I don't mean to say anything politically charged but with Fox News so focused on certain demographics, I'm AMAZED that Fox did a race swap in the first place. Before calling the movie progressive, people should be more amazed by how uncharacteristicly progressive Fox is being.

Switching ethnicities is hit or miss. The problems with Michael B. Jordan are:

 

1. Human Torch is one of the bigger named characters. Kinda like making Wolverine a black guy…just doesn't fit. And yes, I know that they got an Australian to play a Canadian but you cannot tell the difference visually right?

 

2. Human Torch has a sister…who in this movie is not black. So I understand they're doing the whole "Susan was adopted" thing which is great for PC…not for a comic book movie where they are actual blood siblings. Why add in a complicated story of adoption when it doesn't need to be there? Just so the director can hire his pal? Bah!!!

 

As far a Mordo being black….does it really matter? Is there such thing as a die-hard Baron Mordo fan? He's not a huge character who is well known and his being black doesn't change the story or affect it in any way.

 

This also goes with Tilda Swinton playing The Ancient One…not a huge character…gender doesn't affect the story.

Agree with this... I think he would have made a GREAT voodoo but alas.

Add me onto the list. Reloing to Denver this year... Or you get a nice view of RICHMOND con in August.

Love that piece. What is that OA in the background to the right?

 

Thank you, the OA to the right is the published Steampunk cover for Nightwing #28 by Tommy Lee Edwards:

The OA to the left is a Galactus page by Greg Capullo, What If... #15 pg 4:

Bought the statue, the CGC book and the omnibus to support the Capullo OA.

 

 

That is a knockout in BW. Great cover.

I'm not pushing them together, they're naturally high and tight.

Gal isn't exactly exuding boob.

That would be good too...

And a little something extra.

 

Being 6'5", my wife is 6'1"... This is so much more hot than 5'7"...

I love it... The only question I have is... Well, the saddle??? How's he shrink a saddle? Was there a saddle in the comic?

Absolutely loved her in Constantine. That said, at this garbage. Role should be played by an old asian guy.

Here we go again - but I TOTALLY agree. Maybe she'll play an androgynous Asian dude. That would be horribly racist, sexist and awesome! Little pencil thin fu man chu...

Well now I'm just mad. I assumed good looking and short... has it all.

I think he is 6' tall.

NO WAY... I read that too but his head is HUGE!!! I assumed also that he was comparable to Tom hardy because of that spy movie... And he's 5'9" - learn something every day I guess.

Isn't he realllllllllllly short? Like super really short?

Singer's face just enrages me... The movies are fine, but singer... Toooooo many allegations - he made a fine movie so he's got studio money protecting his megalomaniac abusive tendencies.

Star lord hot toys was sold out at sideshow which made me go to bigbadtoystore....... my wife won't be super excited.

One only needs to watch Wolf of Wall Street to know she will pull off Harley well.

 

 

She's going to nail it.

You said nail it... Mmmmm.

On Episode #8 right now. Just taking my sweet time on this. Will continue maybe next week. Any idea when Season 2 comes out?

 

I'm half way through episode #9 and the show just gets better.

 

I think that my watching it on a computer screen and cutting for breaks is probably detracting from the show for me a bit.

 

Having said that, I'm coming to realize that what makes this show work so well is that it is very much a Jekyll / Hyde concept with the origin of the Kingpin being just as important, if not more important than DD's origin.

 

DD was done in one episode. The Kingpin is taking up the entire seasons.

 

It's building very nicely.

 

Couldn't agree more... The dycodomy of both characters is what makes it great. They are very rich in that either could move from good to evil or vice versa very easily. Both appear to want what's good for the city but with very different core ethical grounding which makes all of the difference. I hope that DD2 builds on that ethical/morality pull. The richness of the tapestry is what sells it.

NAILED IT!

I absolutely loved those last 2 x-men movies. Never much of an x fan in the comics.

 

Ditto. Fox has done good work with the X-Men franchise. The problem with FF wasn't so much the directing or -script, but rather the casting. We knew we were watching an FF movie because that's what the ticket said, but it wasn't the FF. Fox seems to have assembled the right cast this time around. Now the question is whether the story works and whether Trank makes it all flow together.

Interesting you would say this. I would hazard to guess that at least 60% polled would say they absolutely did not assemble the right cast. All I've heard over the last 6 months is too young, too black, too skinny, too etc, etc, etc...

Has anyone noticed yet that Matt Murdock is a dead ringer for Jimmy Linguini?

Anyone noticed yet that Jimmy Linguini is a dead ringer for my big fat rear?

 

 

Please tell me that if I go into the "share a picture of yourself thread" again for the first time in a while, a picture of your big fat rear isn't in there waiting for me.

That's the new sub category. "Share a picture of your big fat rear" it was getting too popular on its own.

I'm probably wrong but I doubt there will be a massive uptick in value to the 1996 books. Especially if you paid 1997 prices!

You may very well be right... but lets not just forget he was also a producer on this show as well.. Lets not jump there till we actually see it. All we know right now is there will be a season 2 of DD with almost all of the same people involved. They are not bringing in someone new to the fold that didnt work on season 1
