awepittance Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) what i don't understand is why they would make another Thor, Captain America and Iron Man movie when clearly the Hulk was the most popular character in the Avengers and was placed in for almost every single audience pleasing moment. Is marvel stupid or does Mark Ruffalo really cost too much? I can't imagine he'd cost anywhere near the over exposed Robert Downey. I'm only looking forward to Antman and Guardians of the Galaxy personally.

Guest zaphod Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 really wish they would stop making these superhero movies. it's all the same shit. weird how they miss the variety that you find in comics. every single movie is an origin story, an end of the world threat, part of a cycle leading up to a major team up. there are no stand alones, nothing clever, it's all grey and serious. so fucking sick of this shit.

The problem is, those interesting stories in comics take many volumes to play out properly, like a soap opera - for a movie, the story has to be a tight package (unless say they did it like the Harry Potter movies, being a part of a bigger whole), so almost every movie is going to be like that. They're just popcorn flicks, not high drama. Enjoy it for what it is.

doublename Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Is there way to handle the Mandarin that wouldn't piss off fanboys? He is a ridiculous racial stereotype, and Marvel can't risk having a film banned in China.
