Dungeons & Flagons 3: The Search For Spock

[Eddie Brock]

Rush Limbaugh was right!!!

Bane Capital: "When your bank account is ashes, you have our permission to die."

[blackout]But I don't think the argument that [blackout]a kid can't jump as far as an adult is a plothole. Talia took a running leap. All of the adults, even Bruce, made standing jumps. I think a kid taking a running leap can at least be on par with an adult making a standing jump.[/blackout]

Or maybe [blackout]the rope was tying them down?[/blackout]

 

[wiegeabo]

This is such a blatant lie

 

[Carnage27]

Somewhere, trusty just got an erection.

 

[wiegeabo]

He doesn't know why, but it's there.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Too funny.

 

[Carnage27]

We're getting a Days of Future Past movie.

...

Excuse me while I orgasm uncontrollably and cry fanboy tears of joy.

 

[Batman]

The premise of that as a sequel to First Class has me incredibly intrigued.

And of course, whiny fanboys are already threatening to boycott the movie because of it. So the fact that it exists to annoy them is a plus.

It's by far one of my favorite X-Men stories along with God Loves, Man Kills. It may now be my most anticipated movie along with Winter Soldier.

And why the hell are people whining about it!? It's an awesome story!

Fanboys.

That is all the answer you will ever need.

 

[Carnage27]

Fanboys.

True.

And then when it comes out, they'll all love it.

 

[wiegeabo]

True.

This is where you start quoting all their posts and throw it back in their faces when they come back saying it's the greatest superhero movie ever made.

 

[Rain Dog]

I wasn't too interested in a First Class sequel but now I'm really curious as to how they'll do this one

Street Fighter is 25 years old.


I'm going to go kill myself now.

 

[wiegeabo]

Dammit, MB! Stop doing stuff like this!

Whenever I finally get that private luncheon with Joel Schumacher, allowing me to bring plenty of knives and tools used for torture, maybe I'll stop!

Until then...

Joss Whedon is officially on board for Avengers 2 and a Marvel TV show! Huzzah!

 

[wiegeabo]

Hopefully they'll give him the freedom to write his own movie this time.

What happened last time?

 

[wiegeabo]

Whedon was hampered by having to fit the first script into what Marvel had setup from the previous films.

Basically, the story is Marvel's. Whedon had to write around it. That's why the movie is rather predictable, but the characters are very Whedon, and his fingerprints are all over the script (without it actually being his).

Think of Whedon as the script doctor, rather than writer (which he used to do anyway).

 

[Batman]

Considering The Avengers was fantastic, I... kind of don't want that to be muddled up by giving him creative freedom, though.

Honestly... same here.

To tell you the truth I find it less predictable. That was one of the bad things with me about The Dark Knight Rises... because I've been a big fan of Nolan's for quite some time I kind of saw every beat and twist in it coming.

 

[Belvedere]

Considering The Avengers was fantastic, I... kind of don't want that to be muddled up by giving him creative freedom, though.

Agreed. This is the first I'm hearing about Whedon's lack of creative control and I can't say that I'm opposed to it given how refreshing and entertaining The Avengers was.

I doubt Whedon would have signed up again if he had a problem with it.

 

[wiegeabo]

I'm not knocking the Avengers, loved the movie, but I can see where Whedon was constrained. Especially the plot, which was the standard alien invasion scenario.

Now, Whedon was able to put his own signature twist on certain things, which brought the movie up a few levels.

But I think Whedon can add even more depth, and create an even better film with more freedom.

As a Whedon fan, I agree. Avengers was ****ing ****, but I'm definitely excited to see Whedon have more control in the story process.
Besides, the fact that he picked Thanos to be his BBMFIC of the Chitauri earned him major brownie points from me.
