It’s is amazing to me that one casting …one….has giving many her a strong enough reason not to see this film! One casting choice. Not because my friends have seen it and have similar tastes as I and they hated it, so I’m not going to see it. What makes any of the actors in the live action version authentic Vikings? They’re true heritage? Or skin color? What made any of the actors in the original true Vikings? Would anyone have chosen not to have seen the original, it one of the voice actors was not caucasian? I mean how many great movies have been made, when the original person the role was set for, for one reason or another, didn’t do it and some else did and knocked it out of the park?! Should this live action movie, or any of its cast (especially the actress playing Astorid) becomes critically acclaimed and go on to win an Oscar (which I do not believe it will win an Oscar), will it make since that many choose not to see it because of one cast member choice?! Not because she did bad things in the past, or was accused or found guilty of some type of heinous act, but because she did have the skin color, not acting ability, but the skin color they wanted to see???? Millions of people have seen the poor acting of so many people, from Megan Fox, Pamela Anderson, and a host of other male and female actors, knowing what they would be getting before they’ve even seen the film, but are are choosing not to see this film for known of those reasons, just because of the color of this actress’s skin! While they LOVE the original, they’re going to sit this one out because of one character decision. Don’t get me wrong, EVERYONE has the right to watch and spend their hard earn money on whatever they like! Millions hated the actors portrayal of Lex Luther in BvS: The Dawn of Justice, but still watched the film, some doing so several times! I just do not understand the outrage over this film for one character change.

Yes, in the comics, but this is the MCU and may not necessarily be the same universe. Wait, “Why Wouldn’t The Eternals Intervene In An Arms War They Created?!” Why would the author of this article raise this question and then answer it. It’s like they fake outrage.

I think it’s crazy that so many hated the show, for outside of the few things, IMHO, the show was pretty good! I feel that the voices that hate it, were just louder than those who didn’t. The crazy thing is, there are three shows I can think of that were not the the greatest in their first season, that went on to become great series (when judged by the amount of time the series were on the air), that was “The Big Bang Theory”, “Friends” and “StarTrek: The Next Generation”. Perhaps the series would have gotten better (it couldn’t have gotten any worst in the eyes of some!), but now we’ll never know!

Fortunately, the FF have more than enough stories to build around to not deal with such things. Just like the MCU haven’t touched the dark side of Hank Pym and the Wasp from the comics, I think the MCU has enough other source material to keep them busy for years to come! It will be hard enough for the MCU to introduce the X-Men in their universe, with a likable Charles Xavier, not that so much dirt has been reviled about in the past few years in the comics! Preaching ‘Peaceful coexistence’, while also being the enemy from within, not even Magneto has been as successful as Charles had been in as much time!

I thought Rebel Moon was a great film series and was looking for to the final installment. I don’t see any of it as derivative of any other sci-fi IP, anymore the Star Wars follows in the tracks of StarTrek. When you look at all nine Star Wars films and TV shows, they have covered a wide berth of different concepts and approaches ( save for horror), that it would next to impossible to not touch some thing have not a few finger prints on. Yet, while there might have been a few story beats with a similar tone, he approach has been a lot more mature and intense. While I, personally, did not care for the director’s cut of the first two installments, in the end, the subject matter came down to a ‘David verses Goliath’ scenario, where even Star Wars found inspiration from subject matter that is already in print!

Marvel,

‘You said ‘you agree if done well and you don’t agree if done wrong’? How does the studio know which is which BEFORE the audience/fans see it? The decisions made by the leaders of the MCU, DCEU, SWU and Sony SMU, regards the films that didn’t land well with the general audience, seemed like good ideas when they went with them, but they didn’t work out. Feige is trying to protect what went well, yet build on that for future films and audiences. He’s had a pretty good record with more hits than misses, though. And while the comics have different artist and writers, with different styles that work, the difference with following that pattern with films is the cost that involves. The comics can do a short run, max series, knowing it will appeal to small audiences and price it to accommodate them, but films cost way more and who would pay $30-40 dollars for a ticket to see the rated R version of Batman that was a vampire?! Perhaps a get film to those would see it, but maybe not to general audiences?!
