I remember when they announced that Civil War and I ran out and got the comic book. I was thinking this SH vs SH shit sounds interesting. It started very good with the guy blowing up a town. Penance I think. May be wrong it's been a few years. Punisher shows up and kills someone and Cap beats the shit out of him. It started out great action wise then got stale. Storyline overall was great.
I don't know about the Civil War movie though. A lot won't be in it. & they keep making these movies rated PG 13 when they need to be Rated R.

Ignore the actual Civil War plot. Age of Ultron was not about Sue Storm and Wolverine going through time to stop Ultron ever existing. This won't be Civil War. for one there are like 5 superheroes in stead of hundreds, no Reed to be on Tony's side, no New Warriors to make a mistake, no mutants to say 'We've done registration for the sole reason of existing and you think registering to do superhero antics matter when our population just went from 16 million to less than 200 in a moment?'.... so just a few missing things.

If not for all the different companies owning different heroes Marvel would be able to make movies closer to the comics. I think they do a good job with what they have though. I think X-Men would be way better if it were part of the MCU instead of Fox's test subject.



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

May I ask what you mean by test subject? It was X-men's original  success that lead to everything else. At this stage it is only really Fox being stubborn and Disney being petty. FF failed, so no idea where that will do. The last X-men film was great though and the next 2 or 3 (Apocalypse, Gambit and Wolverine 3) look better prospects than anything FF but also look far better than what Marvel can produce outside of The final Avengers 2 films and far far better than  the Inhumans (aka replacement for mutants in the MCU).

We shall see eitherway.



Hmm, pie.

Different corners of the same universe.



I like both. Daredevil is awesome. However the light humor form Disney's films are really nice too. I'm looking forward to see all marvel universe (Avengers/Ant-man/GoG) coming together on the upcoming films.



I prefer avengers style for my marvel movies and dark and gritty for my DC movies.

Thumbs up from me.

Though the rest of my top six superhero films are The Incredibles, Spiderman (2002) & Iron Man so I like both approaches

No love for Hancock?

I like Hancock too, certainly an interesting new angle on the superhero story. I don't think I would put it in my top 10 though.



The Daredevil approach is pretty well done. From what I've seen so far, barely any CGI used. But I rather prefer that said approach should be used on mature oriented hero franchises only. The Avengers approach is excellent, as long as the movie doesn't drag on and becomes boring.

Oh yea. Remember Remember the 5th of November. I need to watch it again it's been awhile. Loved it though. Didn't watch the series. Was it any good?

I asked you if you saw V for Vendetta because:

V for Vendetta SPOILER bellow

you came here asking for a film in which the hero dies so that would be an example, wouldn't it?

I am sorry, what series are you referring to?

I like those films as well. :)

I like Hancock as well. I respect the first half of the film a lot, but it sort of takes a direction later on that I didn't like much.

I know and I hope it leads to someone picking it up for a new season. 

The series ended in a way that begged for a continuation but I think that's very unlikely to happen. Maybe Arrow will somehow bring some closure, but then it may be just a cameo.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

Out of curiosity, do you literally mean the Avengers in particular, or the Marvel movies in general?

If it's the former, then my answer is Daredevil. If the latter, though... it's kind of a dead tie, really.

Basically, I think that part of what makes Daredevil so enjoyable is the same things that (to me) made the single-character Marvel films like Captain America or Thor more enjoyable and impactful than the Avengers movies; focusing on a consistent tone and creating a very distinct 'flavor.' Iron Man was basically a straight up sci-fi tech wet dream, complete with snazzy armor effects and lots of flying missiles and energy beams. Thor was more science fantasy, with more dramatic dialogue, grand scenery (Well, in Asgard, anyway,) and hand-waved 'Science And Magic Are Sorta Same-y Here!' things to explain all the WTF things the Asgardians in general, and Thor in particular, were able to do. Captain America always felt a bit like a spy thriller (albeit a louder, more explode-y one,) with the one man fighting forces of evil through awesomely skilled applications of violence; Winter Soldier in particular sometimes felt like Bourne on super steroids. Guardians of the Galaxy was almost kind of a blend between sci-fi and science fantasy, IMO at least, but it stuck to that tone consistently. By the same token, Daredevil was a darker, more grounded series about a street vigilante, and the action, enemies and plot points largely center around that, with only brief easter eggs alluding to the wider universe.

Avengers, though, had the perhaps unenviable position of taking these characters from all these different genres of setting and style, and sort of mashing them all together in something that adequately fit everyone. Unlike the comics, however, or even the various animated shows, they don't have the luxury of exploring multiple venues and plots over a longer period of time- they can't have a Thor-centric episode of Avengers, a Captain America centric one, etc- and are thus left trying to take smaller elements from different heroes, and cobbling them all together. Iron Man brought in the use of Nick Fury, Captain America brought in the Tessaract, Thor brought in Loki, etc.

The result, I feel, was a movie that was entertaining in a 'Dear God Eyegasm Explosions' popcorn sort of way- I do enjoy the Avengers movies- but still ultimately felt more generic and homogenized than the films that had led up to it.



Zanten, Doer Of The Things

Unless He Forgets In Which Case Zanten, Forgetter Of The Things

Or He Procrascinates, In Which Case Zanten, Doer Of The Things Later

Or It Involves Moving Furniture, in Which Case Zanten, F*** You.

The approach in daredevil is what the avengers franchise lacks.
