Aside from yet another superhero movie trailer with a pop song, I really liked it. It looks awfully similar to the Justice League episode "War World" but hey, Marvel is really killing it with their movies. I've never seen a Marvel movie I didn't enjoyed, and that's saying something because I'm a DC guy through and trough.

I think the new Thor movie looks good. There's always going to be cheesy lines like "I know him from work!" in Marvel films, but they've done such a good job with everything else that I let them slide. Plus, **** in that trailer just looked cool. Hela was ****ing awesome

and Hulk looked great

This is what we get from DC

Here's one of the concept designs they did for Doomsday but decided the cave troll was a better choice.

I wonder how they'll redesign the Joker.. oh wait.

I think I've blocked Letocker out of my mind. I never think about him unless someone brings him up.

I don't mind his stupid design if they were planning something with him or if he was a new take on the character but as it stands, he comes off as Discount Ledger. Thankfully, we got a real Joker in the kid playing him on Gotham, he's fantastic!

I don't get all the hate in the movie thread for Thor 3. I thought it looked fine. I think people just want to find something to pick at so he/she can be heard or noticed in the long line of dissatisfaction. Either way, they did an awesome job with the character designs. the MCU is full of funny and tacky lines or interactions. The comics are full of them too though. I'm looking forward to something different with the Thor movies and it seems like they may be able to deliver.

I was really surprised with how good that kid ended up being on Gotham. Gotham has definitely grown on me since the first season, but the show still annoys me sometimes with characters like Fish and Gordon's constant grunting. DC has great moments here and there spread out among their shows and movies, but they can't pull them all together and create that one amazing show or film.

You know one thing they did on the Flash show that blew me away? This badass mother****er.

Why couldn't they have used him in Suicide Squad instead of Killer Croc? Or at least have given me a Killer Croc that didn't look like a scrawny bobblehead.

Reminds me of the Street Sharks toys from back in the 90s (?).

 

[Snake Plissken]

I was thinking the same thing

 

[GeneralZodLives]

King Shark was part of the Suicide Squad for a long time in the comics. I was shocked that they did such a good job with him on a TV show budget.

And Street Sharks was the bomb

 

[Snake Plissken]

I remember being into that, Swat Kats, Mummies Alive, Mighty Max, Gargoyles, Double Dragon, Reboot and Beast Wars

[GeneralZodLives]

Swat Kats and Gargoyles were great shows.

 

[Pro Design]

spent WAY too much time watching this back in the day...

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Back then you couldn't escape that show if you tried. I remember it being on all the time.

 

[Shawpaw]

Gargoyles FTW!!!!! I need to go back and rewatch that!

This may be dumb but I need to find a street sharks MIB figure now haha
EDIT: yeah so they go for quite a lot on ebay right now

 

[Jameson Rook]

I used to really really loved that show.

Mighty Max

And this. A lot.

and Beast Wars

I die a little bit inside when a hardcore G1 fan won't watch the show because

I've watched enough of the G1 to know that it was played straight like every cartoon of the 80s. The character development and personalities in BW >>>>>> G1. I'm not knocking G1, but to outright dismiss BW as trash is just not the truth. It had a small cast, but with that the writing and humanity of a majority of the characters just made for a better show. Although I admit season 3 dropped off toward the end of it.

I remember watching the DVD boxset my wife got me and she ended up crying when Dinobot died. That episode is still hard to watch.

I put my listing of BTAS figures up on eBay, and if they sell I might funnel the funds into Optimus and Cheetor. I need Dinobot... that's a grail piece.
