The directors stated they escaped through pods before the attack, therefore still alive

I've edited a pic of the bust that was scaned to created GotG Thanos model.
I just don't care for the big lipped scarfaced human lookin' Thanos.
He looks so much cooler in dem oldschool comix.

Would’ve been a big mistake going with a generic alien face.

Audiences attached a ton more with Thanos with him looking like an actor we know.

Look at Cull Obsidian just a generic alien, no attachment to him other than a brute.

Same for Steppenwolf.

They lucked out with Ebony Maw.

Mustache covering Superman looked worse than all of them lol

Thanks for this wonderful quote from the "How to Make Money in Hollywood" book.

Guns are evil weapons created by men who need to compensate for their small, but equally evil genitals.

Tell her that...

Well they don’t spend 300 million dollars with the intention of not making money.

George Romero was once asked why he made the low budget Night of the Living Dead and he famously answered “To make money what other reason is there!”

Never allow yourself to be shackled by intelligence.

That's beside the point.

Bring the source up for legitimacy and context tho.
Because I don't remember that.
But I DO remember this:

"Because of World War Z and The Walking Dead, I can’t pitch a modest little zombie film, which is meant to be sociopolitical. I used to be able to pitch them on the basis of the zombie action, and I could hide the message inside that. Now, you can’t. The moment you mention the word “zombie,” it’s got to be, ‘Hey, Brad Pitt paid $400 million to do that."

"In 2007, Diary of the Dead all of a sudden made money. I was blindsided by that. One of the producers said, ‘Let’s make another one quick.’ I didn’t know what else I could talk about. Diary of the Dead talked about how social media is haunting us today. I didn’t have anything else to talk about. So I decided to go back to the original premise of misunderstanding and people not being able to see each other’s point of view. I said I’ll do this one as a western and the next one as a noir. So did the western, nobody liked it, and the other one fell away. Then, all of a sudden, here came The Walking Dead. So you couldn’t [have] a zombie film that had any sort of substance."

I still think the best looking Thanos is the one from Avengers, but in retrospect, that version seems to have a very different personality and seems more villainous and comic accurate. That was the true death loving Thanos from the comics in a quick cameo before Feige and Marvel had any idea of where they were going with the character.

However, I don't mind Brolin Thanos because he's a completely different version, with a different personality, much more sympathetic and "human", which made him a very effective character in IW. Given Brolin Thanos motivation in IW, I don't think traditional evil looking alien Thanos from Avengers would work. He'd be another Steppenwolf.

I used to be in the camp of keeping that unknown black actor for Thanos but i’ve never been more pleased to be wrong.

 

[RIDDICK]

Still waiting for that source, Jye.

I don’t owe you a source because I don’t collect a salary from you if you want it please go look for it yourself lol

I agree that given how they've changed character's story and motivation it makes sense to change his looks too.
Tho I still don't care for the boring generic Brolinface or the way he played him. Too subdued and without substance.

I'm only askin' because you brought it up. Without the source it'd mean that you've intentionally misquoted George Romero to prove a point that all movies are made for money only. Look at this stupid situation you've got yourself into just because you think you know something about something.

Tell her that...

lets make Jimmy Kimmel cry

Mad Jye be like...

 

[RIDDICK]

Salty Jye be like...

Fixed.

 

[jye4ever]

No no my bad Riddick is right investors loan millions of dollars to make movies out of the kindness of their hearts.

When BR2049 didn’t earn back its budget the investors threw a party to celebrate their loss of money lol

 

[crows]

this is the most irrational jye has ever been
this thread is haunted,

Denis Villeneuve arriving at the BR2049 WB party celebration.

 

[slickythesloth]

2049 is a perfect example of a movie being made for other reasons than money.
