Niners Fan in CT Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Jingus, I didn't mean for my post to come across that way so I apologize for that but I do disagree with your take on Marvel villains. I think they could be better and I hate when everything is turned into a laugh. There's a way to find a balance between serious situations and cracking jokes. The Winter Soldier is so awesome because it completely eliminated everything I dislike about the MCU and just made a badass comic book movie where the bullets were real and the humor was limited to scenes where it made more sense.

EVA Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Interesting news that Natalie Portman isn't returning in THOR 3. It's unclear if it's simply a matter of Jane Foster not fitting into the story, or if she's being written out of the franchise completely. I know Portman wasn't happy during the production of THOR 2.

That's good news, I thought her parts were easily the worst stuff in the Thor movies. I didn't mind the woman from 2 Broke Girls who's name I'm now forgetting.

Casey Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Kat Dennings, whose character is really only there for comic relief in the first place. I suspect Thor 3 will take place mostly in Asgard and the other realms, so you don't really need Natalie and Kat anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Kat Dennings as Darcy. I Ike Natalie Portman, but they've never given her much to do. Reportedly Tessa Thompson will be in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Not sure how they will explain her exit. Natalie Portman mentally checked out after they fired Patty Jenkins from Thor: The Dark World. That probably didn't endear her to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 If you want to tie into comics, give Jane cancer and either kill her off or have her turn into Lady Thor and cast someone like Gwen Christie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I don't see why they couldn't recast Jane regardless, but doubly if that's the angle. It's not like Portman was a standout in the role. I like her a lot but this wasn't her best. Surely there's equal or better grounds than the recasting of Jim Rhodes.

Buy Me a Burrito Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 It looks decent. Am I the only person alive who is annoyed with Benedict whatshisname? It seems like he gives the same performance in everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Encouraging reaction to the Captain America: Civil War screening for critics. Spider-Man's getting the biggest praise, then Black Panther, action and story. I read somewhere the review embargo ends n this day long before it comes out in the UK on the 29th April and 6th May in the USA. Marvel Studios are clearly happy/confident in the film to do this. On the subject of Marvel Cinematic Universe villains, the villains are hit and miss. The great: Loki (Thor, Avengers Assemble, Thor: The Dark World), Alexander Pierce, the Winter Soldier (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), John Garrett and Grant Ward (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Wilson Fisk (Daredevil), Dottie Underwood, Johann Fennhoff (Agent Carter Season One) and Kilgrave (Jessica Jones). The good: Obadiah Stane (Iron Man), Red Skull (Captain America: The First Avenger), the Mandarin before, you know (Iron Man 3) and Jiaying (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.). The mediocre putting it kindly: The Abomination (The Incredible Hulk), Whiplash/Justin Hammer (Iron Man 2), Aldrich Killian (Iron Man 3), Malekith the Accursed (Thor: The Dark World), Ronan the Accuser (Guardians of the Galaxy), Ultron (Avengers: Age of Ultron), Darren Cross (Ant-Man) and Whitney Frost (Agent Carter Season Two).

J.T. Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I dig the Dr. Strange trailer but not sure how I feel about Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Mordo, Ninja Magician. I agree with Buy Me A Burito. This is shaping up to be Sherlock Khan the Sorcerer Supreme vs. The Operative from Firefly with magical powers. We'll see if this turns out to be a good thing or a bad thing. Hopefully the rumors about Madds being Dormammu will be true and they'll have some badass CGI effects for the Dread From Beyond. Only issue I have with Mordo and Dormammu being in the same movie is that Strange doesn't have all that huge of a rogues gallery and Marvel makes money from huge sequels. Once Strange thumps Mordo, who do you bring in for the next movie, or does Mordo live to fight another day and we get bored with the rematches?

We didn't find out until MUCH too late that she was bulletproof; why didn't the Illuminati guys just fuckin' shoot her when she was slooooooooooowly vaporizing them one-by-one? I agree that Whitney started off good but they really dropped the ball on her. But Dottie, on the other hand, is a fantastic villain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
