Siege

When did you stop being fun, Corpy? :(

Also, the one-shot might give some sort of clue to what Steve is basically going to be doing in Heroic Age. I just hope it isn't director of SHIELD or something. =l
 
I've never been fun. Any evidence to the contrary was just a clever ruse. :o

It seems like Steve will be in Secret Avengers. Which kind of worries me a bit, but I trust Brubaker knows what he's doing with Steve at this point.
 
Yeah, Brubaker has been awesome behind the shield, so I'm not too worried.

I just don't wanna see Steve get the Clint Barton treatment.

And you used to be fun. Then you got all serious. :( (I still love ya though. :awesome:)
 
Ya'll need to step back from the comic world, and watch the movies from a fresh pair of eyes that aren't tainted and bogged down by years and years of convoluted continuity and character personality changes.

Because they're mostly all pretty ****ing awesome if you watch it that way. The Fantastic Four franchise is kinda...eh...and Daredevil is way to over the top, but most of hte 2000 era super hero movies are awesome.
 
Wolverine is terrible by movie standards. Too much stuff put together in a hasty narrative that basically falls apart by the second act. The first 20 minutes or so of it was fairly good, but I lost interest after that. It was just a bunch of stuff happening without much rhyme or reason.
 
You trollin? I mean, personal opinion is one thing, but the movie didn't just seemingly jump from scene to scene. The only time I can think of where it might have was that big break after Wolverine left the special ops and we see him 3 years later in Canada or whatever.

I mean, it introduces the characters and their powers / quirks, shows the team breaking up, cuts to the future and you get to see what the team is up to now while Sabertooth kills them all off one by one, all the while collecting blood for the powers of the Baraka pool, which is made to be the "end all be all" mutant killer.

What part fell apart exactly? His love life? Turns out she was just a spy the entire time and her 'death' was faked just to get Wolverine to agree to get the adamantium in him, which was only done as a test to make sure the stuff actually worked for the Barkapool Blades.

Just cause you got bored with the movie and missed out on a few key parts doesn't mean the movie was bad.
 
Yeah but his memory should have been wiped before the adamtium test. :p
 
I thought they did the mindwipe thing pretty good.

I mean, he's not able to die, but if they shoot bullets into his brain (specifically the memory sector) and it completely obliterates that part of his brain when he regrows it he wouldn't really have the memories.

Right? I mean it's all comic book science, but it makes sense I guess.

It does to me. That's what having an opinion means. And I didn't miss anything, I just didn't like how the movie played out. It felt like a mass of meaningless junk without much point to me. The plot moved forward and one event led to another because, presumably, the people who wrote it weren't high or drunk when they did so, but I didn't get any emotional payoff or feel much weight to anything. It was just a lot of violence and explosions without any of the realistic character development that made the earlier X-Men films good--and when they did try to do a bit of character work, it was such a tiny blip amidst all the fanwanky cameos and action that it felt almost like a mockery of real emotion. Granted, this is what I remember a year after watching it once; if you want a better analysis than that, I'd have to go back and watch it again, which I'm not going to do.

But the idea that only comic fans hated the film is just not accurate. Look up the top critics' reviews on Rotten Tomatoes--the people who get paid to analyze movies and whose opinions are actually respected in the industry itself. And before you just claim they're panning it because it's "just a comic book movie," many of those same people gave Iron Man sparkling reviews on the basis that it's actually, y'know, a good movie (insofar as anyone giving an opinion on anything as subjective as entertainment can call something "good").

If you liked Wolverine, that's great. That's not really much of a reason to b**** at the rest of us for not liking it because we read comics and therefore must obviously be biased, period, the end.
 
Agreed, I would have at least liked it better if it didn't bring shame upon continuity if that's what they call it.

While I enjoyed the movie for what it was, and I loved Gambit, the movie fell apart when they mentioned one thing: Adamantium bullets.

It was just stupid, ill conceived, and most of all stupid.

Oh, and the horribly CG'd claws....
 
That portrayal of Gambit was GOD AWFUL. The guy looked like Gambit....and that was absolutely it.
 
He would of been better if he had a Cajun accent & spoke some French instead of the southern accent.
 
Southern accent??? I didn't even detect any kind of accent. He just spoke normal english. F'ing awful.

I'm terrified about the Captain America movie after hearing today's casting rumors. John Krazinski.....:doh:
 
The whole adamantium bullet thing made me almost laugh out loud in the theater. That was completely ridiculous. The movie was a fail, a big giant fail. The movie started out good, and then just went down down down hill from there. And who's idea was it to include that pathetic little epilogue at the end of the credits? The one where he was drinking at the bar? What the hell was the point of that? Thats how you end the movie?

But a Cajun accent is Southern. Or did he sound like he was from some part of the South other than Louisiana?

Are you seriously taking casting rumors seriously? Casting rumors told us that Maggie Grace (Shannon from Lost) would be playing Shadowcat in X-Men 3 instead of Ellen Page. They also told us that the dude who played John Connor in Terminator 3 would be playing Angel, which also didn't happen. Any idiot who says an actor's name enough times can create a casting rumor. I might start a casting rumor right now.

Say, did you hear that Emile Hirsch might be in the running to play Captain America?
 
I have an almost daily argument with a co-worker who thinks that Wolverine can beat Superman :dry:

He also likes the Wolverine movie, John Leguizamo movies, and thinks that Final Fantasy X is better than VII.

But he's kind of the reason why I've been feeling apathetic about Wolverine lately as well.

Final Fantasy VI is better than both of those.

There were four of those endings supposedly. I think different parts of the country saw a different post credits scene but they were all included on the dvd. The bar he was in was in Japan, where Wolverine has a huge history.

Are you seriously taking casting rumors seriously?

I'm a huge Cap fan and the deck is stacked against a Captain America movie. I don't think the character is popular enough to carry a solo film. It NEEDS to have a strong lead to generate buzz. That list made me cringe. The only popular name on the list was the kid from Friday Night Lights, but I've never seen the show, so I have no idea who he is.

Nobody had heard of Blade, yet he carried three solo films-- two of which were actually good. Truth is, any character can carry a solo film with the right production, script, cast, and director. Since Marvel started producing their own films in-house, the only screw-up they've made is Punisher: War Zone.

Keep a "wait and see" attitude and ignore the rumors. Start worrying about casting when the actual cast is announced.
