Edmilson 7,470 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 The biggest movie of my childhood was Spider-Man. When it was released, it was the movie that sold more tickets here in Brazil alongside Titanic since the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chen G. 3,950 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 When you boil it down, all stories come down to only a handful of story archetypes; so nothing had been new for at least the last few millennia. Its the little variations and flourishes of each story and how its told that make the difference. Arpy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually, the storytellers of Ancient Greece realized that there were only so many stories and everyone was telling them in the same manner. And so, in order to distinguish themselves from other storytellers, they started working on 'style'. How you tell something became even more important than the story itself because it's style that made the familiar stories fresh and new again. People came no longer for the stories, but for the storyteller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,372 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Quote “Black Widow,” starring Scarlett Johansson, was set to debut on Nov. 6, a date that started to look increasingly unlikely as movie theaters on the coasts remained closed. Variety previously reported that the studio was eyeing a new time to unveil the film on the big screen after the disappointing performance of Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” in the U.S. and the delay of “Wonder Woman 1984.” “Black Widow” will now open on May 7, 2021. Quote Due to the interconnected nature of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, “Black Widow’s” move shifted back other installments in the superhero franchise. “Eternals,” a comic book adventure about a super-powered alien race, will debut on Nov. 5, 2021. It was previously dated for Feb. 12, 2021. Chloé Zhao directed the film, which stars Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden, Gemma Chan and Kumail Nanjiani. Quote And “Shang-Chi,” Marvel’s first film with an Asian lead, has moved from May 7, 2021 to July 9, 2021. Destin Daniel Cretton will direct a cast that includes Simu Liu as the titular martial arts hero. https://variety.com/2020/film/news/black-widow-west-side-story-eternals-release-date-delay-1234773491/ The Variety article doesn't mention it, but they kept Spider-man 3 where it was : December 17, 2021, one week after West Side Story That's 4 MCU films scheduled for 2021 Dr. Rick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,470 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Next year will be filled with super-hero movies: -Black Widow in May -Venom 2 in June -Shang Chi in July -The Suicide Squad in August -The Batman in October -Eternals in November -Spider-Man 3 in December Have I forget any movie?

Edmilson 7,470 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 So 8 super-hero movies in total. John Powell and David Arnold should really score one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,372 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 I dunno, out of the 8 you mention, only 5 have actually finished shooting, with The Batman still on-going, and Spider-man and Black Adam not even started yet. If covid affects filming, those could get pushed into 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,470 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Out of the 8 movies, 4 of them already have their composers: -Black Widow - Lorne Balfe -The Suicide Squad - John Murphy -The Batman - Michael Giacchino -Spider-Man - Michael Giacchino (probable) I've heard some rumours that Ramin Djawadi will score Eternals. That leaves just Venom 2, Shang Chi and Black Adam without composers yet, so we can speculate. As for the release date, who knows if it'll be a problem for the movies that haven't started filming yet? Tom Holland is shooting the Uncharted movie in Germany, so far without problems.

Edmilson 7,470 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I'd love that, but it's unlikely, specially if they, as I suspect, temp tracked the whole movie with the score for Mission Impossible Fallout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 My next film is Avengers: Age Of Ultron in my watch through. I kinda OD’d on MCU though by cramming 9 films in a week and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,470 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 It's definetly an underrated movie, but I don't think it's superior to either Russo Bros. directed Avengers movie. I kinda wish more Avengers movies similar to AoU, in which they fight one villain per movie and self contained stories, like a James Bond movie, instead of the sprawling story spread over countless movies.

Chen G. 3,950 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 But most MCU movies have their own villain. Thanos doesn't really become the villain until Infinity War; which is why it isn't really a "saga". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I think the MCU movie I like most that's not a common favorite is Doctor Strange. It's really watchable and just the right amount of silly, the phrase "Dormammu, I'm here to bargain." has entered my lexicon of go-to phrases. I'm really looking forward to the Raimi directed sequel.

Jay 37,372 Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 The one I like the most that's not a common favorite is Iron Man 2. I never had a problem with it bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,651 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Iron Man 2 is Steef's favorite! Iron Man 2 is one of the early Marvel movies I have never seen since theaters. I was so-so on it at the time - I remember it felt a little lumpy pacing-wise. I had no problem with the content, as far as I remember. I wonder if a rewatch in the full context of what Marvel movies have become will change my thoughts on it. As it stands, I'd rank it as probably my least favorite, although I still liked it.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I tend to enjoy the more silly cosmic side of the MCU. Alien trees and Sorcerer Supreme and all that. I'm very curious about The Eternals, which seems like the apotheosis of this aspect of the MCU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen G. 3,950 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I enjoy that, too. But less the Guardians of the Galaxy aspect of it, and more the comedy of the original The Avengers.
