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?!

While I, personally, do not believe it to be a replacement from Pacific Rim, but with Hasbro stepping back from Transformers and the G.I. Joe movie franchises, it is definitely a good time for Voltron to step in that spot! I also would think that perhaps a live action Robotech might has a chance to fill that void as well, with plenty of material to work with.

Whether Batman is the "World's Greatest Detective" is not a designation that he has necessarily given to himself, but that given by others. It's like folks getting up in arms about who is the better attorney Matt Murdock or She Hulk, or the fact that Reed Richard's daughter is now the smartest human on earth at Marvel. In the case of Batman, who does Darksied, Sinestro, Daymain Wayne's grandfather, Lex Luther and others consider the greatest detective! While Jennifer/She Hulk may be or may have practice intergalactic law, that does make the best attorney on earth, with the various types of law that are practiced here! And while Reed's daughter nay know be considered smarter, who has the benefits of life experience and know when it's better not the build and invent something, because of the damage it may cause and the needs of the greater good! Batman may not technically be the greatest detective, but more villians respect him as such and that's the point!

IMHO, all of the 9 films of the SW franchise have been great! All three volumes have had their major issues, for one reason or another, but what single film, ever in history, has not had one thing about it that we, the viewer, wished they did or handled differently?! And what's the problem with with expanding this imaginary universe with actors from different cultures? They are playing aliens from different species and planets, so why do so many feel that the individuals playing them should come from one race?!

Anyway, the one thing that bugged me from the last films, was that the New Republic apparently had no forces to defend it! The only individuals set to counter the First Order (with grew in secret?), was the resistance?! That is the main challenge new set of films will have to answer, what or who and the forces that are set to defend the New Republic's planetary nations? For the new jedi order has no way the ability to defend solar, let alone a galaxy for potential threats. Are the planets suppose to defend themselves? Then what is the point of being a part of a galactic republic? Then their is the size of the threat and where will it come from? Will it be from within like Palpatine and be a political drama like the prequals, or an external threat like the first order? Then, most importantly, who will be the big bad?! Again, IMHO, that was one of the big issues with Kylo Ren, in that he was not scary enough like Darth Vader! Should the use the Siths and the Parkside of the force, I'd like to see more of their development, since the jedi have a whole army to work with. Why do the Sith stick with the rule of two? Snock said that with Kylo's rise, his opposite in the force would do the same! So if Rey is building a new jedi order, shouldn't the Sith be doing the same?!

With all due respect, this power ring with the will power of a ‘god’, as cool as it sounds, doesn’t really mean anything. Mainly because there is no bases to establish what that type power means! Both DC and Marvel has this issue, when it comes to their gods and each of their practitioners of the mystical arts, underworld characters and so forth. So the ring has the will power of a ‘god’, some that would make him more powerful then the superhero’s of earth, but how does that compare to Darkseid or any of the other New gods? How does the power of the New gods compare with the power of the Old gods of earth or any of the other gods of other plants in the DC universe? Then they DC has s of the mystical arts and characters of the underworld, that are associated with the various gods of the DC universe that supposed to be powerful, but what does that mean in relationship to the other characters that they interact with? How does this power ring with the will power of a god, work in all of this?! We know how fire, water and electricity works and what relationship they have with each other, so how does these characters in both of Marvel’s and DC’s respective universes interact and relate with each other, so that the read has some scale of their individual power sets?

And why is that a problem? Any CA is only as great as the stories that are written for them! There have been some great stories with Steve Rogers and some Bad ones too. There will no doubt be the same with Sam Wilson.

But isn't that the point of having Sam as Captain America in this instance and not Steve?! If his approach was the same then what would be the point of having someone else? Sam and Steve are motivated by both shared and individual experiences. They both were in the military but Steve has been Captain America for over 50 years! While both will be shaped by their experiences, those experiences are not the same. Sam may, arguably, be a great CA to some, Steve will always be the best (Hydra brain washing not with standing).

This reminds me about comments someone made about reports that Reed and Sue's daughter is now the smartest person in the Marvel universe and not her father. That's great! Because, hopefully we will see no more miss calculations by Reed that created the Fantastic Four to begin with. Then, with knowledge comes responsibility and she, as a child, doesn't have the emotional and mental balance to see the difference between why it is just as important to NOT build some, just because she may have the intelligence to do so. Once she done something a created a problem, to see how difficult it is to put the tooth paste back in to bottle! So she can be smarter, but that will not make her better.

Is it possible that the write or Captain America was trust being sarcastic? Or an attempt at humor? He is talking to the Spidermen, right? Maybe the writer of this article is taking the comments waaay too serious! Captain America tell Miles to be care with those whom he encounters, Miles cracks on him, Peter cracks on him, the Captain America cracks back on both of them, Peter responds about already being an Averager and then Captain cracks on him and the team he was on and Wolverine! The reason we no he was joking, is because THIS Captain America was on the same team as Wolverine! So is he saying that the team he was on with Wolverine wasn't the Avengers? So, your saying a team with Wolverine is ot the Avengers, but a team with the abusive Hank Pym/Yellow Jacket and bad girl, turned good girl, back good bad girl and now back to good Scarlett Witch was the real Averagers?! Teams this Captain America was on as the Falcon. I think he was joking.

Why Do they say something was retcon, when they only are allowing for a wider view of what happen?! It's not like they are saying that the event(s) never happened, but they audience is seeing an ever bigger picture of what took place. The minute details and what happened behind the seens. A true retcon would be that Darth Vader was not a bad guy, or Anakin was not Vader!

The fact that so many jedi survived, only reinforces my stand that Lucasfilm is missing a BIG opportunity. The should be developing Darth Vader films with him as the main villian, hunting down those jedi that survived and individuals that are force sensitive. The Sith lord could have there spys tracking reports of either jedi or groups of them through the galaxy and then sending Storm Troops to flush them out. Once revealed, Vader would be like the 'Freddy Krueger', where he fighting the very best of the jedi left. While in the end he would be the winner, but that doesn't have to mean there were not several very close calls. There could be a lot of character development on both sides Anakin only sided with Palpatine, in hopes saving and/or bringing back Pe! Growing only more and more frustrated with no movement on that front as well as feeling used by Palpatine and never thinking that his life would turn from jedi messiah, to jedi massacre, could weight heavy on him! Each new film or episode could start with a new jedi or group of the in hiding, with the Empire banking on the survivors of order 66 need to help the weak and downtrodden. Also their need/concern help those that are force sensitive to understand what's happening to them. Through in other up and coming Sith Lords and challenges to Palpatine's power base and political intrigue, the Executioners, the rule of two with the Sith and seeing the universe Star Wars universe explained throuh the eyes of the Sith, there is a lot of stories that could be told and bring new excitement to the the Star Wars universe, IMHO!
