Guardians of the Galaxy film, updates

Yondu was awesome. I hope he comes back in something.

Thanos was pretty cool too

Spoiler

although I’d hoped he’d get an aftercredits “That was all my plan” scene

His cheesy grin was just like the comics.

You can kindly eat a dick sir!

I’m bitter that Immonen was moved over to All-New Cap and Avengers Undercover being cancelled.

As for the X-Men team books, I like UXM but I have to admit it’s ridiculously slow. ANXM has picked it up a bit as of the Trial of Jean Grey. All the JGS books are average at best. I had big expectations for the second volume of WatXM - what a waste. X-Force has been amazing though (no pun intended). I didn’t think I was going to keep it after the first couple issues, but Spurrier is excellent at leaving bits here and there and magnifying their importance way later on when it’s not expected. It was a bit harder to follow during his run on XML due to all the accents and weird speech patterns of the characters.

One running gag I have in my head is who hates Cyclops the most - Logan or Beast? Beast is running away with the title.

For solos, I read everything you listed w/ the exception of Cap - dropped that b/c I didn’t like the Dimension Z arc dragging on. The Cyclops solo has been pretty dope so far. Jury still out on Ghost Rider, second arc will determine whether I keep reading.

If the Netflix series do well, I could see a DotD movie materializes since they won’t be main characters in any of the series. Though in all honesty I’d prefer Iron Fist.

Meh, that link is over a year old.

But yeah, none of the female books are selling top 10 numbers but the important things are they are selling through their original runs and most critical darlings. Ms. Marvel gets ridiculous love (deserves it too), Black Widow is one of the best spy comic books Marvel has put out in years and Captain Marvel is a pretty fun already super hero book and has improved since last year.

Although, the real push behind why the current Captain Marvel is ideal comes from the fact that of all the female solo heroes, she is easy enough to translate and works in Marvel’s favor due to the name.

I’m not arguing that sales immediately translate to quality, only that sales reflect consumer interest to some degree. The bottom line is that for all the buzz surrounding captain marvel she can’t hold her own series, and while that link is a year old it isn’t like the series has sold much better recently.

After I came outta the movie, I immediately had very high hopes for a movie (or tie-in, or whatever) about the
InHumans. It’s probably not something a lot of you have high on your favs lists, but it’s been one of my favorite
group of characters for a long time.

~K.

She already said it was nothing to do with marvel.

If only they could do the War of Kings storyline for a movie.

Relevant to that, a funny fan thing I found, and I quote:

DC: Wonder Woman is too difficult to find a movie audience for-
Marvel: YO YOU LIKE BLACK WIDOW? HERE SHE IS IN THE NEXT CAPTAIN AMERICA MOVIE WITH A TON OF SCREENTIME AND MAJOR ASS-KICKING SKILLS
DC: We can’t allow the lesbians in Batwoman to get married in the comic, sorry.
Marvel: HEY GUESS WHAT WE’RE GONNA FEATURE A GAY WEDDING ON THE COVER OF AN X-MEN ISSUE
DC: The new direction for storytelling needs to be dark, gritty, mature and cynical.
Marvel: DUDE CHECK IT OUT LOKI GOES SPEED DATING IS THAT NOT THE BEST SHIT EVER
DC: After years of rumors, the Superman/Batman movie is finally coming, but with a new actor and suit for Batman and MAYBE a cameo from Wonder Woman.
Marvel: PHASE 2 MOTHERFUCKERS EVERYONE IS IN EVERYONE’S MOVIE AND THERE AIN’T NO STOPPIN US NOW
DC: We can try to add maybe one or two ‘people of color’ to our lineup…maybe…
Marvel: NEW MS MARVEL THAT’S MUSLIM AMERICAN, BITCHES.
DC: We feel no problem with Batman’s vengeful personality being like wet cardboard.
Marvel: NEW LATINA GHOST RIDER WHO SEEKS VENGEANCE WHILE TAKING HIS SWEET LIL BRO FOR ICE CREAM
DC: We can’t mention any superhero titles in our movies, that’s ridiculous.
Marvel: FUCK YEAH YOU WANT A RACCOON VOICED BY BRADLEY COOPER WITH A GIANT GUN? YOU WANT VIN DIESEL PLAYING A TREE? AMY FUCKING POND PLAYING A SEXY BALD SPACE PIRATE? HERE YOU FUCKERS GO
DC: Our fanbase is mostly white males, I’m sure our focus is-
Marvel: NEW SHE HULK LINE WHERE SHE GOES TO COURT THEN SAVES NEW YORK
DC: Wait-
Marvel: NEW FEMALE THOR
DC: I didn’t-
Marvel: NEW BLACK CAPTAIN AMERICA
Marvel: TAKE ALL THIS COOL SHIT MARVEL BE OUTIE
Marvel: PEACE

Based Marvel.

That last pic cracks me up. :rofl:

That face is so perfect and unexpected.

Like his face shouldn’t even be able to make that expression.

To be fair a lot of the decisions marvel has made such as gender swapping existing characters aren’t exactly a step in the right direction.

Care to explain?

Marvel would print money if they released those. Since similar products exist, I have to believe they fully intend to do so and that scene was simply the setup.

:rofl:

wait ghost rider is latina now? does she have a booty?

Only for awhile. Ghost Rider’s been changed again and he’s now a latino kid driving a lowrider (okay, muscle car, but it’s close enough). Probably likes KoF too.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?
Does Rocket Raccoon laugh
starts singing “Low Rider”
