the mask looks pretty standard, i didn't notice anything. what's the complaint people have with that?
 
and approx 60% give it 8 or above. so it seems like even a group of comic book board posters still like it.

i'm sure if it is a good movie, people will forget, just like the x-men series, transformers (still hate the flames tho), batman original and reboot.

and even with a costume accurate hero like ghost rider wont save the film.

This is the thing people need to be worried about. I understand we're on a board to discuss and nitpick simply because we barely get any news from month to month, but if they nail the movie, nobody is going to worry about how his mask fits on his nose. I think it's pretty easy to tell it's a doctored picture anyway, just like the first image of Ironman was, let's see how it really looks in action before we decide if it sucks or not
 
about the CGI

it is CGI because they want suble energy movement on the suit while he stands ,talks and fights.

if it could be done with a practical suit they woud do it. since it couldnt be done its CGI. the problem now is that when you will watch the movie you will see something that is not possible in real life. so your brain will automatic scream to you ''fake''.

the question for every individual here is if you accept a suit that will look alien and will have a second skin that moves?understand what i am trying to say?

No.

They chose to use CGI because 1) it was a good fit with the notion that it would be an energy construct from the power ring, which is basically an artificial intellegence or a super computer and 2) they have the ability now to pull off affects that can not be done or would be cost prohibitive with a conventional costume. As far as the audience's preception of it being fake, we all know that science fition/fantasy has elements in the genre that are fake going into it already so that point is insignificant.
 
We all knew the Iron Man suit was CG in most of the scenes where he's actually moving around, yet it was still plausible.

My only issue with the mask is that it looks almost like it's painted on. But I'm judging it from one still photo... it might look a lot cooler in motion.

Love the rest of the costume though.
 
In all honesty, you have to ask yourself if something as powerful as the ring could create a uniform, why would it look like something you could stitch together yourself? The only logical reason is that Hal willed it to look like something Earthly.

I think he needs to will himself a new wig while he's at it.

didnt i writte the same ?

It wouldn't hurt either. I think the only reason I got all the way through Ghost RIder was because they did Ghost Rider right at least.

No, not exactly. You said that they wanted energy motion with the suit and I am saying that it is simpler than that. Since the ring is like a super computer it made sense to go with a CGI suit and from there they could take advantage of your so called "energy motion" and such with the suit since these are ancillary benefits of the effect. The second point is the same as my second, but I don't buy the audience seeing it as fake part since this is all science fiction (make believe) which presumes that is it fake to begin with. In order to appreciate SciFi, there has to be a level of suspension of disbelive. If one can't do that they are better off not following the genre.
 
I don't see any black, I see shadows, but not black

not that I care, because I'm enjoying what I'm seeing so far

just saying

Co-sign that one - some of the complaints that I'm reading thus far astound me, to be honest; each to their own and all that but still.

All I know is that come opening day I'm going to be loving watching Hal flying through space on the big screen in a costume that I havent got a problem with.

Umm, shadows are areas where there is no light and hence the color (not the pigment) is black by definition since that is the absence of color. In other words, you can't say that there are shadows there but they are not black.

are you freaking serious with this ****?

the suit is all green, and there's shadows covering parts of it, shading, whatever the hell you want to call it

don't bring that crackhead **** over here

Yeah, I'm serious. Shadows are black. If you see shadows, then then you see black.

doesn't mean the suit has black coloring, or parts of the suit are black. Do you even know what the hell a shadow is?

seriously

just get out of here with that ****

you're freaking done
 
Yeah, I'm serious. Shadows are black. If you see shadows, then then you see black.
no, if you see shadows you see a reduction in light do to it being blocked in a particular direction, for a shadow to be visible the source must still be receiving light from another direction. black is black, shadows are not.
 
Well, look at the bright side, at least there are no rubber nipples on the suit.

-so sayeth the mastermind-

he's just trying to be a smart ass is all he's doing

either that or he really is stupid...or very ignorant

If it's being blocked then there is no light. If the light is being reduced then it is being either diffused or filtered out and in those cases they are not shadows since they wouldn't necessarily be dark. In the image those are dark (black) spots indicating shadows.

dude just shut it, you were finished a long time ago

go smoke your crack
 
haha although not everyone can come together on an opinion of the suit, i do think that everyone can come together on the fact that dnno1 is obnoxious and annoying

fixed
 
This conversation is remarkable :up:.

got that right, and with the mood I'm in right now, not a chance, I'd drop him freaking flat if he were here in front of me. So not the day to put up with annoying BS, not...the...damn..day
