Ok I'm back on the train.
I think this one will be fun. It looks like a good balance between serious and dramatic and fun and campy. People over on Reddit are flipping out over the introduction of Spider-Man, but I'm much more excited to see The Black Panther in action.
I don't feel super strong about the character one way or another, but I think there is a lot of room for potential with him. He's a genius (sure the MCU has two of them between Banner and Stark but a third one won't hurt), the king of his own country, his powers come from a magical herb, etc. In the right hands, there's a lot of good stories you can tell with the guy. The suit though? As you see it in the movie? Looks bad ass. Hopefully they really do the character justice. Also, in case you didn't catch it, that was Crossbones giving Cap a knuckle sandwich at the 1:57 mark.
The guy is in the cover art of the video. Is there any need to hide out his name? It struck me how terrible Tony Stark's character looks like in the trailer. After what seemed to be quite a bit of character development in Iron Man 3, he's back to his man-child state with quips that only five-year-olds would cheer for. Earlier - in the previous movies - his immaturity was somewhat cute; now it's frustrating.It looks like a good balance between serious and dramatic and fun and campy.
He wasn't originally. I was trying to avoid spoilers, though it seems all the world knows now. Which is a shame. Honestly, it would have been cool if they left him out of the trailer. It would have made for a great surprise for anyone seeing the film for the first time, especially since most people don't keep themselves up to date on the rumors.
I often wonder why won't they just leave certain characters or actors off the book until the film comes out. Matt Damon from Interstellar is a good example of an actor who would reasonably "survive", hype-wise, without promotion; not that he needed any promotion anyway: he's already a very popular actor. Though - I say that only knowing that he appeared in trailers from other sources: I haven't seen trailers myself and have been surprised to find him in the film.
Yeah, when you put it that way, it makes perfect sense. I don't know if they still do, but Marvel used to use Spider-Man and Wolverine constantly as cameo appearances to help other titles when their sales were lagging a bit. Also, War, before I forget. I think it was you who recommended Netflix's Jessica Jones to me. I watch it and with the exception of the awkwardness of all of the sex scenes and all, it was a great show. Thank you for that.
They were designed to be awkward, partly because Jessica Jones is such a self-effacing character who can't bear the load of actually doing something good (which includes having any fun in bed) because of her deep-seated shame. They weren't designed to be very attractive, as well, both because real-life sex is often unattractive to look at from the side and because it's not the point of the series. Have you seen Netflix's Daredevil? If so, did you feel the similar ending creep?and with the exception of the awkwardness of all of the sex scenes and all
What the hell's up with Spider-Man's eyeholes? That's not StarkTech - more like something Reed Richards or Watchmen's Dr. Manhattan would have done. Also, I may be overreacting, but Amazing Spider-Man's suit looked so much sleeker and real; this one feels bland.
