5 Things We Want to See in Marvel's Solo Sequels
Dan_Dare replied to Murr's topic in General Chit Chat
I agree. Although I liked him an an antagonist for the whole group, his plan was too blunt to really fit the character. It needed another level to feel right- there were hints at something more when he was warned not to try and steal the cube etc but it never went far enough: Facing Loki should be like going up against a chess grand master with a great game planned out and they didn't get that across. -
5 Things We Want to See in Marvel's Solo Sequels

Well, yeah. They say it clearly in the film too. They aren't Gods, the Vikings just thought they were when they met them. I actually think he was at his best, and most ambiguous, in Thor. His motives were complex and nuanced but in The Avengers he was too much the megalomaniac. -

I think the structure of the nine realms on the World Tree is accurate, as are the names and roles of all the major characters. As are their relationships. Where Marvel obviously deviate from the myth is the Gods actually being Aliens, Thor's powers and stuff. I think I read somewhere that Stan Lee wanted Marvel to have an equivalent to Superman and chose the Norse Gods because it gave them a way to make him their own guy. A lot of the early Thor stuff, especially with the Donald Blake alter ego, is very similar to Superman. edit: I'd actually like to see them do this: and have Thor park his giant floating city on Earth, for lulz. -
I only have a work machine. I have the original on my 360 though...
-
More like mouse / touchscreen 2.0, but yeah very nice
-
I thought the same thing. Extremis is all about Iron Man starting out at the peak of his strength so it'd be cool to have something like that.

Happy birthday!
-
Yeah but Grant Morrison is a complete mental and him 'thinking about it' probably means he's been sitting on a stool in his pants, screaming at giant scorpions that plague his hallucination riddled mind.

I'd just like to say, while I'm here, fuck you all for getting Torchlight 2 with no console port planned. You fucks.
-
Shit, dude. Hope it works out!
-
Yeah, exactly. The guy's a racist, sexist, drug addled fuck up. He used to be great...
-
Yep. It's clean and sharp but it holds true to Miller's character designs, just without that 'sketch' effect he used. Very cool. edit for original art:
-
omg dat artwork. Me and a friend were discussing Frank Miller recently. It's genuinely amazing how far he's sunk. It's that bad that I can't really enjoy his great work like TDKR any more
-
This is looking boss. I've ordered the first game this week so looking forward to getting in to the series over the weekend
-
I'm with @Daft. Comics reboot, play around and generally diverge on tone and continuity all the time. It's how these ancient characters stay fresh- The X-Men have been going for years but their current iteration is nothing like how it used to be. It's how individual writers make their mark, so why not apply the same to film makers? I'd fucking love a Red Son movie. It's too good.
-
I do genuinely like the sound of the campaign options but I know that the nuts and bolts shooty mechanics will be the same- and that is a bad, bad thing.
-
That's probably because Iron Man, when taking out the actual suit from the equation, is about something much more grounded: Tony Stark is a brilliant mind with a poor moral compass and a misguided philosophy. Confronted by the end results of that philosophy, he's horrified and sets out to use his intellect to undo the harm he's created. That's a very human and real character arc and it just so happens that in this particular case 'undoing harm' is achieved with a mechanical suit of armour / fusion powered super-weapon.

Happy birthday, Frank.
