Superhero Cinematic Civil War - Part 58

Amber Heard Almost Replaced in 'Aquaman 2' by Warner Bros. - Variety

But not for the reasons you think….

Actually that IS the reason I thought she might be replaced. Ms. Heard was the weak link in a very fun Aquaman flick.

After the chemistry concerns became apparent, it may have been a good idea to recast Artie's would be girlfriend with his onscreen mom. Nicole Kidman is a much better actress and the same age as Mamoa's (then) real life wife.

Feelings about her as a person aside, I liked Heard in Aquaman and her scenes in the Snyder Cut. I thought she sold it. But shes by no means unreplaceable. They can definitely find another actress to do better than her.

Lmaoo i still havent seen this movie but is it true Tyrese’s character never gets the robot arm they show in the trailers??

Jeezus, how much of this movie was reshot and cut out??

 

[Ninjablade]

I didn't even realize he was supposed to have a robot arm. Having seen the film, I don't even know where that scene would've taken place.

The effects work on the L&T trailer is a big yikes but I’m very interested in seeing what’ll become of Gorr. Bale looks great.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I believe in Harvey Dent too.

Yeah, that’s it. Clint and Kate are fine but the story is just so bland. The McGuffin in it is a damned wrist watch. The villains are funny in their ineptitude at first, but eventually you find yourself just wanting these idiots to get out of the way so that the Kingpin can finally show up.

Vera Farmiga and Tony Dalton were completely wasted in pointless and predictable roles. And if the series was trying to get me hyped for Echo (All I Do Is Scowl)… well, mission not accomplished.

While I think the wrist watch was lame in how it was done, it didn't really particularly take away from the story of Clint and Kate connecting, which I though wasn't really bland, to me.

Maybe the actors have done and could more but the only real disappointment I had was that Jack wasn't revealed to be the Swordsman.

I was fine with the actress and felt the character had some form of intensity, even if I think the characters story didn't really fit in the show, as is.

Plain and simple, Capt Marvel's impact is very, very much depends on your circle. Also, probably a lot of people don't want to bring it up because you have a group very, very interested in telling you how, at best, mediocre it is, and how Brie Larson is going to get fired.

Why haven't we heard about it more, I would argue we have heard about as much as we have about Ant-man 3.

Yeah, but the only thing that movie has had going for it that I can tell is Kang, to me, really. I think the last Ant-Man movie was mediocre at best, similar to Captain Marvel. Is that a bad thing to think and call a movie, a solid amount of Marvel movies, mediocre? Why would Brie Larson fired? If a mediocre movie was what it took to get fired some current slate members would be gone, to me, including the main cast of Ant-Man 2, Tom Holland, Benedict Cumberbatch.

I think there's a bit of fan favoritism going on for Marvel bland generic slop, to the point where, to some, calling out Doctor Strange 2 as being lame, and not interesting, could be seen as controversial. Somehow...

That movies like Spider-Man Far From Home, Doctor Strange 1, Doctor Strange 2, Captain Marvel, Avengers Endgame and Ant-Man 2 are seen as actually good, by some, I don't see, not in that way.

even amongst the real life friends of mine who’ve seen and (to the best of my knowledge) enjoyed the movie, I haven’t heard it mentioned very often.

If the first movie is mediocre, if it's not generating some form of actual drama (not handwavey drama about things from years ago), I don't think there'd be much to be talked about, for some.

I still want to know who told her it was a good idea to do that awful British accent in the Snyder Cut

Snyder?

I have to agree, I would argue if they cast a better actress with good chemistry with Momoa as Mera it would’ve improved the film quite a bit.

I'm sorry WHAT

 

[I Am The Knight]

I'm gonna need the article...

 

[Erzengel]

I'm sorry WHAT

 

[Snow Queen]

I'm sorry WHAT

 

[Ninjablade]

Here's the original article.

This is freaking insane.

A high-profile comic book movie set to debut next year recently had its final script submitted to the WGA for screenwriting credit, and insiders tell Deadline that a staggering 45 writers had some sort of involvement with the script at various stages through the development process. The likelihood that all those writers will get credit is “basically impossible”, according to one source close to the project

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

WB is gonna WB.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

 

[I Am The Knight]

Here's the original article.

This is freaking insane.

I wonder if that had anything to do with them somehow crediting / consulting with the multiple writers who have been involved with all the characters that are supposed to be in this multiverse extravaganza film. Despite the Ezra stuff, supposedly the film has tested well, though I do believe the source on that was thicc queen Grace

 

[Drizzle]

Might I add, big old props to Taika and Crowe for giving Zeus a Greek accent in this, as exaggerated as it may be.

 

[The Shape]

Here's the original article.

This is freaking insane.

Kind of makes sense if it is The Flash. The project has had several "starts" and "stops" over the span of many years, with various writers and directors touching the project in all of its different iterations. It doesn't mean all of those writers worked on this particular version, but there may be even brief ideas of concepts that were drawn from much earlier versions.

The movie felt like one of those films which had clueless execs adding a bunch of terrible notes that made it worst.

So basically every bad early 2000’s superhero movies then?

 

[kguillou]

You know normally I wouldn't advocate this but i REALLY hope Espinosa comes out soon and goes on some Alexander Proyas type rant where he dishes the behind the scenes tea on what happened with this movie because clearly something went horribly wrong right before this movie was released. I'm not at all saying the original cut was better but Sony clearly did a last minute major retooling on the film and I have no idea why. How does a film that's had all this extra time to get its s*** together in post end up being one of the worst comic movies ever made?

 

[Sithborg]

Snyderstans must be really desperate. When do the attacks on Portman's muscles starts as they glorify Gal?

 

[Erzengel]

I made a mistake going through that dude's instagram. I don't think most people talk up their spouses the way he does about Snyder. Geez.
