X-Men: Days of Future Past

[Silrian]

I saw the Avatar and name, I love mass effect too but I think a Mass Effect film could be bad ass, I'd personally like a trilogy about the games with Shepard as we all already know it'll work. I've played the trilogy twice and it too is one of my favorite stories, in any medium, period. But I know Avi will most likely **** it up with his constant tinkering and demands, he'll do something stupid and ruin the whole thing. Thank god he doesn't have his hands in the other marvel films like he used to.

The games are exactly what I think won't work. It's impossible to handle that amount of material even in three films I'd say. As a gamer you gradually get used to the world and it's themes and you get invested in the character to get an incredible experience into a future universe. But in movies the main element of choice is missing, and regardless of gaming implementations, imo the series thematically revolves around choice. It let's you play it from the world view you have and let's you decide how to deal with the galaxies situations from your point of view.

If they make films that view has to be set creatively and I dislike that, it will never satisfy the whole fanbase, not even remotely, if only because half of the players probably played it as FemShep.

No, I'm fine with a solid movie set in this universe, I'm fine with the first contact war between the humans and turians, maybe adapt it slightly to bring in more races. But dear god, have mercy on me, do not adapt the trilogy. I won't be able to stomach it. No way that'll be even remotely as good as the games. Especially considering the awful precedence set by past VG adaptations.

People should just play the games, or watch a walkthrough of the story if they want to see Shepard's journey.

They're gonna redesign that ****, rescore it, aaaah ugh this drives me insane. No, no, back to topic. ASM2 already made me nuts, I can't deal with the prospect of ruining mass effect on a large film scale now.


If 70% will be past, then 70% will be Wolverine with bone claws...giant meh.

A Deathstroke fan! He was my favorite villain during the New Teen Titans in the 80's and my second favorite hero under Batman in the 90's, so I understand. I only like the new series, which I've seen a lot of Deadpool fans saying they hate, and people that always hated Deadpool love.

That's a shame about the Amazing Spider-man 2. I don't watch movie trailers for movies I'm guaranteed to watch. I wasn't the biggest fan of the first Amazing Spider-man, so I had to watch the trailers for the sequel. I think I got the whole story from the trailers, and it looks like they're packing it with way too much stuff, and it's going to collapse under it's weight. I want to write it out, but I don't want to ruin it for those who want to avoid trailers. Marketing teams seem to give us a heck of a lot of information for movies nowadays. I can't judge it, until I see it though. I really liked the darker tone of the first movie and the relationship between Peter, Gwen, and Captain Stacey, but that's all I can think of. I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I thought the suit was really cool, despite the material looking far more expensive and extremely difficult to put together for a first time costume! Stan Lee created him with the intention of him being scary, and I think the costume reflected that. Although the new costume is definitely more appropriate for the "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man" title! I just watched ASM for the first time this year, so I'll probably watch ASM2 when the third movie comes out! Does the movie feel like a trailer? It just worried me when they already announced the release dates for 2 ASM films, Venom, and a Sinister Six movie, and that this movie was just going to be a set up for all those.

Godzilla next week and this the week after. A great two weeks at the movies!

 

[Baneofdemon22]

And the week after that Maleficent is going to destroy them all! I'm kidding, but I think it looks neat. It's a great month for fans of well known properties!

I actually liked ASM! But that movie's tone should've been the same in 2. ASM2 is genuinely a disturbed film. I've never seen a film that constantly alternates between profound 500 days of summer romance lighthearted dramady moments, with man of steel style hardcore drama en sick brutal effects coming at you. It's really bizarre, there are people undeniably dying, and the next shot is spider-man high fiving the firemen. And I've already admitted this same tonal disturbance is in Man of Steel at the very end and as abig fa of that film I will still readily admit that the dialogue scene at the end is ridiculous compared to what you've seen before it in terms of tone.

But ASM doesn't do this once, it does this the whole freakin film through! It's ridiculous. Spider-man is out there takin credit for saving people, bein all like jow who da man? While it's pretty clear people just died. Apart from the fact that a guy he just saved turned out to have the biggest nervous breakdown in history. It's as if Webb asked Snyder to direct half of it and then never communicated with him, but just sent the whole bunch to the editor and was like here, make a cocktail. The villains are also all cheesy as hell, and DeHaan did indeed play a less profound, way lesser written version of his Chronicle character.

Honestly, I have enough faith in Singer left to be fairly sure this film won't disappoint me as much as ASM2 did. And I have to give it up to pturtle that no matter how much there is to complain, it looks to me like we'll be getting a fourth at least descent film overall for the X-men franchise.

So while my issues with this franchise remain, I did regain a bit of perspective on it.

This is the only crossover in marvel comics that can happen that will get me almost as psyched as a Batman-Superman one:

That would just be too awesome to see. I don't know if my eyes can handle it.

Oh I would love that! Man they had so many great crossovers in that series, but that was the one that was always my favorite. The thing about Marvel is if you're into one series, you end up knowing the whole universe. Spider-man and Daredevil would make for an awesome detective/crime story and I would love a Captain America and Wolverine team up in a WW2 period piece.

Speaking of which, why are there complaints about getting an older actor for Wolverine? He's over 200 years old, but because of his healing facor, he looks like he's in his mid 40s/50.

 

[Silrian]

^ I only get it from a studio angle, because older actors will indeed probably quit earlier.

 

[Baneofdemon22]

I understand that. I just figured most actors would probably do 4 movies max anyways, and if you guys were talking about someone in their mid 30's or even 40, they could easily be covered for 20 years. It's a lot of commitment for an actor, especially what they have to do to their bodies to keep their "superhero bodies." If they keep going back and forth between shrinking themselves for other roles, they'd probably hurt themselves much more at an older age, so that is a bonus about getting a younger actor. I will be curious how long Ben Affleck continues as Batman, being in his 40's. It's weird having a Logan that looks younger than Bruce Wayne. Heck, it's weird already having a Spider-man older than Wonder Woman and as old as Superman!

 

[Irvy]

I prefer Wolvie to be older and grizzly, no babyfaced unknowns please.

 

[Baneofdemon22]

I completely agree, but I can understand the studio perspective and how the real human body works. That was another reason, why I didn't buy Hugh Jackman in the early movies.

If you're referring to Hardy, I don't think he has a baby face at all in that pic, an he's pretty well known.

Oh oops! I'm in support of Hardy, so if that was the reference, I disagree.

 

[pturtle]

Yea Silrian thought of it, Hardy would be almost perfect for a live action Wolverine in my opinion.

I loved the Spider-Man vs. Wolverine comic as a kid.

 

[Baneofdemon22]

I loved that issue too, but haven't read it since I was a kid. I remember when I feared for Wolverine's life from a bullet wound. Unless he was had an adrenaline rush, like regular people, he would always get taken out pretty easy. Now I guess he can be hit by a bomb and live. I haven't watched the Wolverine movies, so did they establish his limits?

I did not think of it (although I will say I could have) I came across it in one of those '5 actors to play wolverine next' articles.

I can kinda see where Hardy can have complexions that aren't wolvie-esque. I don't think Hardy is entirely perfect for it, but he's the best I came across thus far.

As I said before I'd love it if Aaron Eckhart played Cyclops, he has the look, age and charisma for the Cyclops I'd like to see.

That's it, I'm gonna try and piece together an entire team casting for who I'd want in a reboot. If anybody has anything in mind of actors they'd like to see play X-men, either in the current franchise or in a reboot, let me know.

 

[pturtle]

I think Hardy is almost perfect, he has the smaller compact frame that I'd like to see Logan have. Like some others have said, I wouldn't want a dwarf sized Wolverine, but a short man by average standards works for me.


I know most might not be fond of this choice but I always thought a younger Brad Pitt would have made a perfect Gambit.

Him being southern helps as well. Pitt could also carry his own movie, would have been great in my opinion.

Oh true, young Pitt for Gambit would've been pretty cool.

"No black leather this time guys!" **** you Singer for getting my hopes up.
