The Merc with the Lounge - - - - - Part 167

[Pink Ranger]

Now Marvel has access to Spidey who has the second best rogues gallery in all of comics. They better not screw this up.

Second to the Flash, or Superman.

No, not second to Batman, that guy's rogue's are a bunch of psychos with an endless loop of their motif:

I wish I had a colorful roster of warped individuals that constantly inflicted petty nuisances on me:

The Reporter: They guy at work who works in a completely different department than me and whose job has absolutely nothing to do with mine, but makes it his business to inform my immediate supervisor of mistakes in my work he suspects I have made.

Mr. Message: The telemarketer who calls me when I'm not home and tries to engage my voicemail in a sales pitch for some reason.

The Red Recycler: The idiot in my building who puts old light bulbs in the blue bin that is clearly marked only for cans.

Desperada: The platonic female acquaintance who invites me to accompany her to things like weddings and then implies to her family that I'm her real boyfriend without telling me first.

This is humor, but still...
Be careful what you wish for.

Or BvS was just a mediocre movie made by a subpar director who not only doesn't understand the characters he has access to, but doesn't understand how to make a movie that appeals to the GA. WB needs to fire Snyder ASAP and get somebody that knows how to do those things and then they'd be all set.

Deej is the biggest Marvel shill on here. I mean according to him the sun shines out of Mickey's ass.

The MCU is a little vanilla. The fact that Loki is the only memorable villain in 10+ films is proof of that. Some of the films are a bit cookie cutter. But there isn't a MCU film that I can say was a legitimately bad film per se.

But what makes up for the vanilla aspects and some of the films not exactly knocking the ball out of the park (Avengers: Age of Ultron, Iron Man 2, Thor: The Dark World, etc) are two things. The protagonists and the interconnection. For as cookie cutter as Ant-Man is, we love Paul Rudd as Scott Lang. There's a lot of heart in that performance. We love RDJ as Tony Stark. We love the banter among the characters. We root for Steve Rogers as closest to what the ideal man should aspire to be. And to be honest, the MCU is unprecedented in how connected their films are. Name drops, plot points, various characters and crossovers, etc. It's a living, breathing comic book and the first of its kind. That's why critics and fans aren't as critical on some of the flaws.

Shane Black's their man. If Marvel isn't going to use him anymore, WB should get on that.

I don't mind this combination.

#MakeMineMarvel Clippy. Marvel kicks ass, it's what I grew up on and love. But some of their movies do suck IMO. IM2 and IM3 are the ones I'm not super fond of after the new movie smell has worn off of them. But WB/DC made the mistake of thinking Snyder was capable of handling this and he clearly is not, the massive drops the movie is experiencing indicate the masses agrees with me. Had the movie been in capable hands it would have broken almost every box office record out there.

I understand that WB/DC was damned if they did and damned if they didn't. But launching the universe as they did and making a movie that only fanboys can love was the wrong move to start their universe. They had the exact same amount of time the MCU had from IM1 to TFA and cranked out 2 subpar films the GA didn't particularly care for.

That being said I liked MOS and I liked most of BvS (not a fan of Eisenberg's Luthor). I really want as many kick ass DC movies as possible because I get to learn about a ton of cool characters that I'm not familiar with. But Snyder is not the man to pull this together for them and if they move ahead with JL under his watch they are making a massive mistake. Snyder is toxic for them right now.

Shane Black's their man. If Marvel isn't going to use him anymore, WB should get on that.

Thye need that guy who did the new Mad Max film that they just signed on as a producer. That guy would make an amazing dark/adult DC universe with depth to it. That would be amazing.

 

[Victarion]

I'd like both. You're thinking of George Miller.

I honestly have to agree with you there... I watched BvS but i wasn't exactly impressed with it either even though there are some stuff I did like. I guess you can say the only thing that stood out for me was well obviously Wonder Woman and Batman's fight scenes - especially where he goes to save a certain someone.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I am unable to stop myself from staring at your avatar.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

...

I dunno if I should take that as a negative or a positive or both...mixed emotions of conflict I sense...

There is an explanation behind it...thanks to a certain tumblr post, I did ...countless hours of photoshopping and while I am ok with it for the most part, I mean it still needs work but if I can get the right photo material of the outfit for Ms Marvel, then we'll see how that could work. I was trying to do different versions but feck, due to issues with my program closing on me too many times and not being able to save my work...I did what I could.

The avatar on the other hand, I did that recently. So...yeah. lols...

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Take it as a positive.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Oh great. Thanks man.


I was going to throw in a few other characters but due to all the lagging, I just couldn't do it. I was going to add Jean Grey, Winter Soldier, Mystique...Spider-Man ...Black Widow...I dunno why but man...would have been badass...all of em looking like they're blowing s*** up! lols
