I like the first Cars, it's no match for the masterpieces Pixar was releasing during that time but still pretty fun, enjoyable and heartwarming. A pretty good movie. Unlike the second one though, that is just awful. 27 minutes ago, Nick1Ø66 said: The Hulk Will Return in 'Captain America: Brave New World,' Mark Ruffalo Confirms Pretty interesting if true, since the movie will have a Hulk villain as the antagonist and apparently a lot of characters from The Incredible Hulk. So I guess what was supposed to be a Sam Wilson as Captain America mostly standalone movie is slowly becoming the Hulk movie fans have been demanding since... 2012, I guess? I think Marvel learned from Thor: Ragnarok that, when your lead character is having a popularity "crisis", just slap the Hulk on his sequel. enderdrag64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNHFan2000 2,966 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Phase 1 had 1 film a year. Phase 2 had 2 films a year. Phase 3 had 2 or 3 a year. Phase 4 had 4 in 2021 (but that was because they got pushed back thanks to Covid) and 3 in 2022. Phase 5 thus far had 3 in 23 and 1 this year. So 2 or 3 is the usual.

Edmilson 7,466 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Also, July of next year will see the battle between the new Jurassic movie, Superman: Legacy and Fantastic Four. Out of all of those, it's Jurassic who has the biggest potential at the box office. DC tried to reboot Superman twice (in 2006 and 2013) and none of the times it was exactly a megahit, and as for F4 not only the previous movies were poorly received but also post-pandemic the simple fact that a movie is "MCU now" is not the same thing as saying that on the last decade.

Hm. Originally, I was late to the MCU party. Which meant, most of the movies of phase 1, 2 and 3 I saw when they were already available on disc. So, I watched most of them in a fairly short time. And I loved it. So, I would say, they did not kill my interest through volume. I can handle volume like I did with phases 1-3. But they recently killed my interest through bad movies and lame tv shows. Not quantity, quality is the issue. Groovygoth666 and A24 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,466 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Unlike the 90s show, X-Men 97 won't be suitable for (younger) kids. Quote X-Men: The Animated Series remains beloved among comic book fans and we'll finally return to that world in Marvel Animation's upcoming X-Men '97. Among the biggest surprises in the new trailer was the retro animation style, but that's not the only major change. The homepage for X-Men '97 on Disney+ reveals that the show is going to be rated TV-14; the small screen equivalent of PG-13, this is a fairly noteworthy difference when compared to X-Men: The Animated Series' TV-Y7 rating. https://comicbookmovie.com/x_men/x_men-97/x-men-97-will-be-rated-tv-14-on-disney-one-key-member-of-the-team-will-be-portrayed-as-nonbinary-a209467 Also, there will be a character who will be nonbinary (they weren't portrayed as such in the 90s show nor the comics).

Dr. Rick 1,157 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 That’s not the point…. The issue is the constant changing of original established characters, whether it’s race / gender / sexual orientation.

Popular Post HunterTech 994 Posted February 20 Popular Post Share Posted February 20 A shapeshifter isn't where you'd want to explore the idea of having a flexible identity? I kind of figured the whole point of this mutant (hell, superhero in general) thing is that your power informed your character. So does it heavily rewrite a character by making that a part of them? I would understand it if this were Mystique, who is much more established in media, but Morph is a separate character with a similar ability, so you probably would want to distinguish them more. Plus, the Fox run already wasn't above considerably rewriting characters depending on the series/film, so I've been used to different iterations of certain mutants. I understand not wanting to push it to the point someone is neigh unidentifiable, but nothing is suggesting a considerably altered personality so far.

A D-list character I'm pretty sure nobody cares about. If anyone's really upset over this, I have to ask if they just don't want a non-binary character in their X-Men.

MaxMovieMan 273 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I’ve always interpreted the overall fact that they’re mutants as metaphors for all social outcasts in a way. The mutant umbrella covers all that. I’m fine with non-binary characters and actors in film/TV but it seems like an add-on for no reason to me in this case. Still though it doesn’t bother me and shouldn’t bother anyone else. At the end of the day it’s the quality of the narrative and characters that will make or break the show. Also there’s a rumor going around that Henry Cavill might be apart of the MCU now. I think he’d be a great Cyclops. 15 minutes ago, Mr. Hooper said: And by the way, how long until they change "X-Men" to an all-inclusive "X-People"? (Joking/not joking.) I think the “Men” aspect comes from the “man” in “human.” They’re e"x"tra hu"man." Hopefully they don’t change the name that would be a marketing nightmare for Disney.

Even so, I'm sure it doesn't sit right with the inclusion people, who probably can only see the word "men"—which is apparently a bad word these days in Hollywood's writing rooms. But let's hope they understand that rebranding "X-Men" would be a colossal mistake, as you say... Then again, Disney is prone to making big mistakes, so I wouldn't put it past them!

HunterTech 994 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I mean, after Dark Phoenix pulled a random "the team should be called X-Women" line out of fucking nowhere with what it presented up to that point (and after), anything else would be an improvement The fact the show continues to be called X-Men does show an inherent trust in the brand, yet with how incredibly slow the mutant rollout has been in the MCU proper, I do wonder if they're considering revamping them to some degree (assuming the rumor about them being contractually obligated to work with the Fox producers until 2029 isn't true).
