YES, that's exactly it. XD I agree. Same for TLJ. I'm already super hyped for that. And thanks for the spell check. I actually think that with the MCU logo was just a fan edit, and not confirmed to actually be the case, but it WOULD be really cool if they did do that. So I hope it's true. I also think the idea that MCU themes aren't good is bunk. There's a TON of great MCU themes.
Yeah, I think they probably planned for the dark tone before they hired Taika Waititi. He's mostly a comedy director, and said it was going to be pretty light shortly after he signed on. I'm actually kinda happy about it, though, because judging from the Thor-Darrell shorts, he's a very funny writer. XD And, yes, I agree. Same for Civil War. The loudest laughs I've ever heard in a theatre were in response to the jokes with Bucky and Falcon in CW. Ragnarok does look a bit SW-y in a way. I hadn't thought of that.
Yep. I didn't get to see him as Torch, but I'm pretty excited for him as Killmonger. He looks pretty awesome. PLUS he's sort of in every Ryan Coogler film, so you know Coogler's going to try and make a good role for him, which means we might get another good Marvel villain! That's so,etching we could definitely use. Also, can you believe Coogler's only 31?! Yes! And don't forget Betty Brant and Hela. And Red Skull. And Skurge. XD
Obviously that's exactly it. xD As for TLJ, I'm also megahyped for it. I just randomly put it in there, but you're welcome. It's already confirmed that they will do it. Eh, that video made the "not-so memorable MCU music" popular. I blame those guys for having to complain about everything.
Idk why, but I kinda feel hiring Taika Waititi was a little mistake because, like you said, they planned a darker approach for the movie, though we'll see how it'll turn out. Dear lord, I can't get over the Team Thor video. xD Yup, especially Civil War (the only scene with so much comedy was the Airport battle scene, but if you remove that entire scene or if you remove Ant-Man and Spidey and make Stark a bit more serious, there'll be very little comedy in it). In my theater that time, pretty much every jokes in the Airport battle scene. There were only few people laughing at other scenes in the movie. In other words, the audience was mostly silent. I guess you haven't thought of that because GOTG also had a Star Wars vibe.
Same. The problem was he was miscast as Human Torch. Literally every Ryan Coogler film?! Another good Marvel villain?! Shut up and take my money! I need to time travel now! Ooh, he's that young? He seems like a good director already at that age. Dagnabbit, I almost forgot Galadriel, Lord Elrond, and... did Karl Urban play an orc or did he play Gimli? xP Also, who did Betty Brant play again? xD
I have yet to meet someone on here who isn't mega-hyped for TLJ. XD I've met people IRL, though, who've never seen any Star Wars and I just wonder how their life is bearable. Ooooh. Cool. I thought it was just a fan edit. I'm glad. That's definitely be one of the things I'm most looking forward, too. Oh, yeah, I know what you're talking about.... That video had some good points, but I disagreed with a good portion of it. What's your favorite MCU theme?
Hmm... That's possible. I'm super glad Waititi is a part of the MCU, but only time will tell if Ragnarok was a good fit for him. And I guess that darker version is a movie we'll never see. I also kinda wish we could've seen Edgar Wright's Ant-Man. I mean, I love the version we got, but I still would've liked to have seen what his would've been like. I hadn't thought about that, but you're right. Civil War definitely has significantly less humor. I DO like a measure of humor, to break up the tension, but some movies should definitely have less than others. That's why Tony's good... He's a serious character, but he can crack one-liners to break up the seriousness a bit. I honestly never thought of Guardians as very Star Wars-y either. It felt more Spielberg-y to me. OF COURSE Star Wars has changed a lot since it came out, so things have probably changed a bit. XD
I haven't seen it, so I wouldn't know. I just heard that movie was a total mess, anyway. IDK if its literally every one, because I haven't seen them, but he's definitely in a lot. And I also don't know for certain that he'll be a good Marvel villain, but I think that he definitely has promise.
Karl Urban was actually Eomer. XD AND I MEAN ROSS. Sorry. Betty Ross. My mistake.
IDK! I tried someone's once, and it was just... Meh. I don't get it.
Same, I don't get its popularity either. All it does is spin. Wow! I'm totally amazed that this is my first time seeing something spin! Awesome!
(Disclaimer: I don't hate them at all in case you think I hate it like it's the worst thing ever made. It's just that, I don't get how it got so popular.)
These are my thoughts exactly. It's popularity just baffles me. It's one of those things I feel like most people wouldn't care about normally, but think it's the greatest thing ever now because you're SUPPOSED to like it. I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but that's the feeling I get.
That's fair, as I said, but my statement was more in regard to faith-based arguments in general, not specifically Christian to Christian ones.
'I personally do not need solid proof, due to faith' is exactly the point I've been trying to make. Don't get me wrong, Faith without solid proof is a great thing, and there are like a bazillion bible quotes which say so, but at the same time, two people arguing when neither side is back by solid proof, and both are backed primarily by faith, will inevitably end in a draw. You can't prove something true if it has no proof behind it. My SECOND point was that you could have a PHILOSOPHICAL debate on it if you wanted to, though.
Interesting.
If a person has true faith in Scripture, I think that if they are properly shown in Scripture how they are wrong, it would work. But yes, the most important thing is a person's heart. Whether or not they are willing to change.
Yeah, but the thing about Scripture is that even with that it's hard to prove yourself right or someone else wrong. SO MUCH of scripture is symbolic, and also SO MUCH is not symbolic, and everything has layered meaning. The problem is, what I take as literal and not symbolic as a Catholic, you often take as symbolic and not literal as a Protestant, and vice versa. It's not always that people just aren't willing to change, it's just that even though we both believe in the Bible, we think if it in different ways. So when I'm saying "In the Bible it says 'X', so therefore 'X' is true and you're wrong.", you could say "Oh, but 'X' was just meant symbolically according to how I interpret the Bible, and isn't actually literally true." The question is, how could I prove that the passage is meant literally? Or how could you prove it was meant symbolically? That's the difficulty.
Whoever invented them is genius. It is my life goal to create something so addicting that they'll have to come up with a medical term for said addiction. Because it'll make soooooo much money.
It takes time for it to kick off. Fidget spinners were actually invented in the '90s.
{JAMMERS! -same- ONLY!} OKAY. This is hilariously ironic, though. *considers starting new order because Jedi are too corrupt* *changes mind and decides to look the other way when offered power* ((not trying to sway you, I just legitimately found it funny.))
Well, when you want people to stop arguing you can't contribute to the argument. And besides, in faith-based arguments it's essentially impossible for anyone to win, because it's based on, you guessed it, faith, which is essentially belief in stuff you can't empirically prove.
Thank you!! Finally someone else who understands this!!
I'm still Catholic, and I don't think any argument could sway me otherwise... Which was pretty much the point.
I actually really enjoyed BvS: DoJ, but I'm in the extreme minority. It's a good film to watch if you're bored and have a spare three hours. Preferably watch the Extended Edition, it's better. The characters are pretty joyless, but they each have definite goals and philosophies (except for WW, who, for some reason has joy and no particular goal or philosophy. Go figure.) I also love Lex in the film, but he's VERY a different from the comics, so that's also an unpopular opinion. The world-building and cinematography are both brilliant, though, and that's the main reason to watch.
Basically, it's a good rainy day film.
Well, maybe I'll try it sometime. I've heard the shots and cinematography and overall look to the film is great, but the story is all over the place and too much is going on.
What are your opinions on the other DCEU movies you have seen?
That's not a bad assessment. Though, the Extended Edition clears some of that up and makes it flow better... It's just not a terribly FUN movie in the conventional sense, so don't go in looking for that. I like it a lot, anyway, though part of that might be because I was expecting not to, so don't go in expecting to like it as much as I do.
The only other I've seen is Man of Steel, and I thought that was pretty decent overall. Not really anything special, but pretty okay.
It actually seems like a lot of fun, but it's probably kinda demeaning for an actor to basically have one line. As it was, Ray Park was kind of a glorified stunt-man, and his voice was dubbed over, but he still hit it out of the park as far as I'm concerned.
Okay, cool beans.
((okie dokie))
If I have the spare money, that's honestly all they need to get me into a theatre seat.
He was honestly really good for "just a stuntman," and I suppose it was more fair for him to have very few lines than Del Toro.
What are some of your unpopular Star Wars opinions? Just curious.
Same here, Kaiju films are my life. That's the main reason I still want to see Kong: Skull Island. My dad saw Kong: Skull Island, but he didn't think it was very good, so I doubt I'll be seeing it anytime soon. I wonder why he didn't like it though, he liked the 2014 Godzilla and Pacific Rim.
Yeah... He's kinda in between stunt man and actor, I guess. He does a lot of roles that are stunt-heavy and acting-lite.
Idk... I tend to think that the Seperatists were justified in leaving the Republic, though they were kinda twisted by the Sith influence. Hmm... Han and Greedo shot at the same time, IMO, because that's the canon version. Aaaaaaand... I like Yub Nub better than Victory Celebration. Also, Revenge of the Sith is one of my favorite SW films, possibly my favorite. There's so much in there which people just miss or ignore. Anakin didn't leave the Jedi to save Padme. That was just the tipping point after he'd seen so much corruption in the Jedi. He realizes the Jedi and the Sith are very much the same in many ways, so he chooses the one which will let him be married and save Padme. (Ex. Sidious tell Anakin that Dooku was too dangerous to be left alive, but Anakin regrets it because he thinks killing an unarmed prisoner was wrong and not the Jedi way, but then Mace, one of the most famous Jedi and a Council member, says Sidious is too dangerous to be left alive, and tries to kill him, despite being unarmed, and without a trial.)That's why he says "From my point of view, the Jedi are evil." And, yeah, that's a terrible line, but you can see GL was trying to show his motivation wasn't just Padme. Unfortunately, most fans missed that. Aaaaaand probably a lot more. Those are just the ones which leap to mind.
That's how I am with Superhero and Star Wars films. XD What's your favorite film of all time? Well, it wasn't a GREAT film, but I think it was worth watching... The monster fights are good at the very least.
I'm pretty sure I replied to this, but it looks like the post must not have gone through. I said something interesting before, but I can't remember what it was, so I'll go simple and answer with:
Good.
Oh. Well, if you remember the interesting thing, say it.
I actually think that with the MCU logo was just a fan edit, and not confirmed to actually be the case, but it WOULD be really cool if they did do that. So I hope it's true. I also think the idea that MCU themes aren't good is bunk. There's a TON of great MCU themes.
