Title: Marvel superhero movies
Post by: M-Dog on October 02, 2012, 10:07:04 PM

I am a big fan of the marvel superhero movies, especially Iron Man because he is cool  B) .


So i thought The Avengers(2012) was a great movie. Do you guys like any marvel superhero movies?

YES!!

Since Disney basically gave Marvel total control over their movies they have been wonderful! I am so excited that DareDevil (My personal favourite hero) now belongs to Marvel 100%.

I generally liked all the marvel super hero movies, but I thought that Captain America and Thor were more filler movies than anything :3

I kinda agree, I've been a fan of Red Skull for a while now so it was nice to see him in a movie, and I liked how they portrayed Roger's past in the movie, Thor was my least favourite, personally...but that may be because I'm not a huge Thor fan to begin with.


 I feel like the live action movies..Marvel has DC beat, but when it comes to animated movies DC wins ten fold. They tend to have better animation, voice acting and better stories IMO.

As long as they feature Mark Ruffalo, I'll be first in line.

Speaking off, Iron man 3 looks good:

I disagree greatly, I think it looks... shit.

It reminded me a LOT of the Transformers, which is not a good sign at all. It had very short, action packed or deadly silent clips, with some calm, emotional "speech" in the background and it didn't show Iron Man as a character at all. Look back at their first teaser of the first movie where all you hear is quiet, and Iron Man dodges a tank shot, and then sends this tiny missile at it, turns his back to it and... BOOM. Que Iron Maiden heavy metal music. It was powerful, it was simple, modern, with a touch of badassery and humor. Just like Iron Man himself. I am not looking forward to this movie, I am very afraid of being disappointed. IM2 was bad enough.


I am looking forward to the new Captain America movie. I really want to see how he is doing after waking up. If you've seen the deleted scenes from Cap. America 1 and The Avengers, you will know just how damaged he really is. If not, then you've missed a lot. I loved the first movie even though I am, as a European, by default sceptical to anything that has something to do with American patriotism, but he remains today one of my fav characters.

Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk/Bruce Banner) has signed a contract to be in 6 new Marvel movies. Some of them may just be guest appearances but I suspect... no, I expect at least one of them to be a new Hulk movie. After what Ruffalo and Whedon did with Banner, I expect a lot of character development. It will be good to see. He is such an underestimated character. Trust me, if anyone feels bad for Batman, then you better check Banner's history and life.

Thor 2? Not so sure. Didn't enjoy the first one, didn't like Thor as the childish, stupid, egoistical personality he is (though he's supposed to be like that and he's well played by a good actor). The movie was empty and boring as well. The only part I liked about it was Loki, which is also one of my favs. I hear they have a LOT planned for him in Thor 2.

The Avengers 2 and 3? We'll see. Like IM, I'm afraid they will take it too far and do it for the money. I'll be mighty impressed if they manage to keep the quality up. The first movie is almost always the best, and I have only seen one exception so far.

I also wish they would make one with Hawkeye and Black Widow. I want to know more about their past and what was mentioned in The Avengers? Budapest?

"You and I remember Budapest very differently."

I would love to see something made with these two in focus. They left too many questions about their past and brought it up too much, not to make it into its own movie.

After all, Marvel is known for its fantastic continuity.

I have been loving the Marvel movies. And you know Iron Man is your favorite superhero when you have a dream about marrying Tony Stark. lol.

I had seen all the movies except Thor before seeing The Avengers and it wasn't exactly something that absolutely HAD to be seen to understand things, in my opinion, but it was still okay. I absolutely loved the Hulk/Bruce Banner in The Avengers; he was awesome. "I'm always angry."

As for Iron Man 3, I worry that the action in the trailer will be the only action, since that happens sometimes (though usually with comedies and showing all the funny parts). The first Iron Man movie trailer was definitely the best. That clip in the trailer was one of my favorite parts in the actual movie.

Also, I think it would be great for Hawkeye and Black Widow to have their own movie. Hawkeye is another one of my absolute favorites too and their story seems like it would be very interesting and entertaining.

Puncia, I usually find that the third movie of the series is usually the one that wraps it up and it's usually the darkest one. So the reason it's not totally badass and iron man music is mainly because, I think, it's taking more of a dark knight approach with it.

Which is not the way to do things. TDK was a GREAT, GREAT disappointment to me. The first one was okay, the second one so-so, and the third one was not worth my money. And I am a huge Batman fan.

Dark, does not necessarily mean good. It's the easy way out to "step it up" when all you actually do is make it more dramatic. Drama does not mean good, drama is not quality and drama is overestimated.

I agree, Hawkie is a great character and they did not bring him justice at all. Even apart from the fact that he spent most of the movie being mind-controlled, he had few lines, little action and generally served as a filler. Hell, I didn't know he was deaf before I looked him up after The Avengers. Remember that next time you see the movie. They could have at least mentioned it. With so many witty one-liners and humour, they could have added it for flavour to a character that desperately needed it.

I dunno Puncia, I tend to disagree with you there. Dark = drama sure, but drama = suspense and suspense = excitement. You go to a movie to be excited or have a good time :P I dunno, to me, I like darker films because, to me, it's more gritty and realistic but MORE IMPORTANTLY you can spread interesting ideas better. The idea is that a bleak society of slavers is much more interesting than a perfect utopia, people like darkness, conflict, pain and fear and things that would stay on their mind. Chaos, it's what people (and I) like, a bleak society, a world that is dark where things don't just happen, where things aren't perfect, like real life.

Well TDK focused too much on drama and had nothing else worth mentioning. The plot was tame and I managed to guess the whole movie after about ten minutes, leaving me bored for the rest of it.

The characters were nowhere near what they ought to be. The judge (avoiding too many spoilers), was NOTHING AT ALL like the character he should have been. I didn't even notice it was him. He didn't fit in there either. He'd be in the background causing chaos rather than a judge. At least the way they did him.

Bane? Meh. I liked that they didn't make him a steroid oaf, but he was also rather empty. Same with Batman and.. everyone else. Catwoman wasn't even Catwoman, she was just a woman. Nothing like the original. I missed her.

Dialogues, action, actors, even the music was disappointing to me. They didn't even have Zimmer do new music, it was the same as the previous movie! Music is so important and they couldn't even be bothered.

I can't help but agree with Puncia in many area but the lately TDK as I havn't seen it yet and plan on it soon when i get the chance. I think that while the TDK was good in own standing but it dont goes well with classies well like the newest spiderman. It good by itself but ya can't help remember and think about the other movie that is already done.
ANd as for the Hulk and Thor, I love that when Hulk/Bruce Banner in The Avengers said. "I'm always angry." and went staight into fight and building hopping but my most fave is when Hulk standing  and side puch Thor so hard, after Hulf and Thor helped eachother to take down the nasty dragon-like, I laught so hard that I almost died on the floor.

I want a spawn movie (forgot whether that was marvel though >.<)

Nope Spawn is an image comics creation ;) . I believe the actual rights to the character is still owned by its creator which is rather rare sight nowadays. Hmm there was a spawn movie but it was rather disappointing at least for me :S . Anyway I'll wait until the movie comes out for iron man although I did laugh a bit when I saw what looked liked the iron patriot suit in the trailer x3. I really want to see a Black Panther or Dr. Strange live action movie those would be great  B) . In terms of dark it really depends on how it is written dark overtones can work but if you are doing it just for the sake of doing it there may be a problem  @.@ . Ooh a movie with Ms. Marvel could be fun as well ^_^ . As for DC I've always wanted a Question movie but considering most of the character I've mentioned haven't been A-list heroes I don't think any of them will happen anytime soon  0:) . Although panther could appear in an avenger movie at least :P .

The thing that I really like about furry forums is that you can post pretty much whatever you want and it won't be that off-topic.

Haha, I'm totally obsessed with superheroes. <3 Favorite superhero of all time is Steve, and it will always be Steve.

I mean, honestly! Who isn't in love with that goofy old-fashioned grin?

Marvel movies had it going for a bit, but TDK and Man of Steel blew them out of the water. That's just my opinion.  ;)
