Superhero/Comics Movie Thread

[GreenWarrior]

Falcon is black and they kept him black in the movies.  Nick Fury was made black for the movies and I don't think anyone can picture Fury as anyone other than Sam Jackson (even though he was white in the comics).

Diversity is fine, but you can't be diverse just to be diverse.  It has to make sense.

Its comics, evil twins, body/mind swaps, and retcons are constant.

It all makes sense and it all doesn't. I giggle at the complaining about forced diversity because its the same complaint that the status quo always makes couched in the usual language.

Same with with the gamergate crazies, reactionaries gonna reactionary.

Wasn't the Ultimates version of Nick Fury black anyway, and came out before the movie version?  Either way we all know David Hasselhoff is the real Fury:

yes. they didn't make him black for the movie. the MCU borrows from both the Ultimate universe and the 616 universe.

Agree.

Guardians of the Galaxy had a black person play Gamora, and a Filipino-Greek playing Drax, and it made a ton of money. If they want to be diverse, introduce new characters (they're doing it it on SHIELD) or make the other characters of different race to be popular. Luke Cage is still out there. Black Panther is a great character. Want to be diverse, make those characters more important, or atleast make them prominent in your universe.

Diversity is fine, but never, EVER mess with the source material. That will rub a lot of fans the wrong way.

It will be weird to see a black Johnny Storm. Also, it will be EXTRA WEIRD to know that Dr. Doom is a fluking computer programmer.

It is not just about diversity, it about the studio's that do the movies.   This guy gets it.

The first FF movies were absolutely abysmal. Dr Doom is my fav comic book villain ever but I couldn't stand it.

There is a level of care of the canon and getting it right at Marvel/Disney that does not happen at the other studios.

BTW, some fanboy go to see a movie multiple times, the movie makers ought to listen to them.

As mentioned, he was changed in the comics first (yeas prior), it wasn't for the movies. Though one can debate about alterations made in different comic universes, etc.

But we're also talking about a supporting character, which lessens the dilemma.

To whom it may concern, looks like Peter Parker will be Spider-Man in the MCU in the 15-16 age range.

[Moranis]

[Moranis]

JK Simmons cast as Commissioner Gordon in the Justice League movie.  News breaks as Superman v. Batman is almost upon us.

giggity

didn't watch Ant-Man yet, Fantastic 4 sucked, Deadpool was awesome...

I can't wait for Apocalypse and really really hoped Marvel gets their rights back from Fox for X-Men so they could appear in Civil War

Don't care about Suicide Squad for some reason

Batman v Superman looks good and cannot wait for Wonder Woman...I think Gal Gadot actually makes a good Wonder Woman

[Yoki_IsTheName]

This is me when I saw the new Captain America: Civil War trailer.

So, Deadpool first, then Dawn of Justice, Civil War and Apocalypse. What a time to be a comic book fan.

Gambit movie might be donezo, or at least pushed back to oblivion.
