Supposedly it's like a very low budget spiritual successor to Chronicle, with the F4 properties slapped on top that got turned from a turd into a shit sundae when it hit the editing room.

Can't say anything else, as I haven't watched it yet. They've denied that they're in discussions to send them back, but they're in discussions to make an animated X-Men series and the only realistic asset they have to trade is the F4, and to a greater extent the assortment of antagonists they have (Doom, Galactus, Super Skrull, Silver Surfer and his heralds etc.).

Who knows though. Still want Namor. If he's not got his own movie, F4 would be logical introduction, but Black Panther would work too though.

There was some interference from the studio a few days before shooting was meant to start apparently. Three major action set pieces pulled to lower the budget.

Just over these howlers. I'm not saying every Marvel movie is gold but you don't get Wolverine Origins, X-Men 3, Spider-Man 3, three putrid Fantastic Four attempts etc. Disasters/franchise killers and what makes it worse is then you have to wait eight years for the stink to wear off for another attempt. Makes me worry about Deadpool, that movie needs to be good.

Didn't say it was season over for them based on one game..

Was just typical Arsenal, they have a good pre-season and win the almighty Community Shield, everyone jumps on board and says they're going to win the league, and then they lose to West Ham at home in the first game. And they've needed a top striker ever since RVP left so that's a big IF, plus plenty of other holes in their squad as well (def mid, centre back).

just bought a top striker

West Ham 2 Arsenal 0.. LOL

The Norf of the EPL, all promise no substance for 10+ years. Surely Wenger can't keep doing the same thing year after year when it clearly isn't working..

watched the game, chech's two blunders were terrible

Anyone catch Andrew Symonds on the Today show this morning? He briefly mentioned that Michael Clarke can be divisive & like some friendships there an always be a time friendships can fall out for not so obvious reasons....

Like when the Australian Cricket teams groupie wench is Lara Bingle & Michael Clarke is all like "but I'm in love with her, I want her for myself".....

Always been a selfish campaigner that Michael Clarke

Marvel have been trying to buy back their assets movie wise ever since Disney bought them out so that they can be all multiversal, so chiefly it's in their best interest to collaborate with the current holders and then be utter dicks until they want to offload the assets because holy hell the films, they be bad, losing money quick sell it back to people who will buy that originally sold it because they were shizen with money and failing.

But yeah, I saw the F4 previews and it pretty much went vague interest, chuckle, hysterical laughter, I plan to bootleg it because that's entirely atrocious reminds me of space cloud coast to coast I mean Galactus I mean bad cgi I mean power ranger villain in a cloak that's green.

Namor won't work on its own, IMO, they need to do an Invaders and throw back to Cap WW2, which they won't do sine they already Hydra'd it to bring in Zola, Skull and possibly tie into the Serpent in Thors multiworld which seems to be the anchor point for the Avenger movies circa phase 1-2.

Deadpools promotional have me somewhat amicable to it being a thing, then the casting choices came out and I have only decreased my warmth to it, because Copycat, Colossus and etc outside of maybe Weasel are X-Men / X-Force assets that this is going to be Days of Future past mk2 and really bloody stupid with pacing, placement and major issues. Probably will be somewhat comparable to 1997's Spawn, which I bought on VHS and then sold the VHS player as being over the top and try hard. However at least it shouldn't be Green Lantern which was LOLBAD or Daredevil which was "how do we make Jennifer look less like a man and emphasise her womanness..."

Best thing Marvel did was kill Wolvie, manwhore of the movieverse and long time manwhore of Marvel, so I'm also hoping that Marvel get the rights back to the X-men universe if only to tie into GotG and cosmic shit, because I would love nothing more than the Shi'ar being rocking with Gladiator, Nova, Quasar, Adam Warlock and some monumental multiversal shizen filtering through since they're going infinity gauntlet. Chiefly because they can't do negative zone since it's an F4 asset they sold, which blows Annihilation Wave and Fault and subsequent stuff, but they may be able to do War of Kings after denerfing the Xandarians into badarse space cops with bucket hats.

Also not going to lie, Marvel do Planet Hulk and do it well they will literally have the best Hulk movie ever.

I actually thought the F4 trailer was good. Solid cast, good director, had the same writer that wrote X-Men: DOFP....and they still found a way to butcher it. Unbelievable. Deadpool will at least have an R rating which gives me some confidence so at the very least we should get some good action scenes.

Who? Please don't say Welbeck aka the Rhys Stanley of Manchester United..

their putting a bid in for him this week...

There is no way that anyone could know that, virtually everything reported about transfers is BS. The trick is to not read anything into it until it actually happens.

The F4 trailer screamed try hard to me, in that they were trying to be too different with the casting choices and what they did show showed absolutely no chemistry between anyone, which for anyone that has a passing interest in the F4 universe knows full well that family is first and foremost in the front of why shit goes down with them. To me anyway this also screamed time skips, which is my pet hate with superhero movies since it's like day one of dopey juniour learning to fly, day 462 going mach 6 and being an ace fighter pilot because books and a montage. That they threw back to Doom is yawn and the onyl saving grace for mine was the Negative Zone being a thing, but since they used that as a powered origin, totally dismissed it as a 5 minute thing that gets some air time probably in a "it'll never work... OMG IT WORKED BUT SHIT HAPPENED BECAUSE DOOM AND MATHS LOL" then of course they pretty much ruined the Storms (Sue and Johnny as siblings I mean) so then also assumed that they'd ruin Reed & Victor and Reed & Sue & Reed and Ben.

Like I said, Deadpool's promotional had me encouraged it wouldn't be a crap reboot, then I saw the casting and am piecing together what the rumour mill is going by and... I'm losing faith, it won't be Origins and laser eye burn victim bad, but I'm worried man, it's not filling me with hope it won't be cringe worthy, whereas Doc Strange I think will be great even though I question the title casting choice, because everything else seems to be going balls to the wall. That's primarily what I feel the other studios lack, they go mostly hollywood and construct instead of go "you know what, the source is a comic, it's filled with some stupid shit in it, let's not take it as seriously as hollywood does." which Marvel tends to do and sometimes gets a bit campy (ie IM2) but hell, Deadpool is a dark comedy in a nutshell, I don't think they can do it justice.

 

[Highlander35]

As Long as it doesn't devolve into lol, so random I'm talking to tge audience at every opportunity XD, Deadpool should be fine.

Suicide Squad, Civil War and Doc Strange do look good for next year though, BvS a touch behind, not seen enough of Apocalypse to make a call, and Deadpool could be anything?

Go Malawi!

(wherever the **** that is)

 

[Persevering Saint]

Go Malawi!

(wherever the **** that is)

South central Africa, near to Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, etc.

 

[Ekomaira]

I think I jinxed 'em

 

[Keg on legs]

Go Malawi!

(wherever the **** that is)

Interesting side note:

I was actually swimming in lake Malawi when the planes crashed into the twin towers.

It was a weird feeling, we were literally in the middle of bum **** nowhere, and had no idea if the whole world was at war. We probably couldn't have been in a more isolated, remote (but also safe) place on earth that day. Whenever I hear Malawi mentioned, my mind goes straight back to that weirdest of days!

 

[CALL ME SNAKE]

South central Africa, near to Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, etc.

Oh.
I thought Malawi was Alex .P. Keatons sister on Family Ties.
But then again i did have a lisp when i was young.
