    Big Hero 6 was really great.
    Number of cameos I caught: Ultraman and Mazinger Z.

    There was a poster in Fred's room that looked like it belonged to something, but maybe it was just a faux-Evangelion homage.

    There was a very subtle Dragon Ball reference as well.

    Where?

    And since I still lump Dragon Ball with Superhero talk, the key visual for the next movie has been revealed. Spoilers if you don't want to know who gets revived.

    I don't see how much of a threat he would be considering the last couple of times he was revived, he would get taken out in a single hit or two.

    But they're obviously going to introduce some sort of powerup to make him a threat again. In the end this is probably just an excuse to recreate Goku vs Freeza in HD theater-budget animation, so I'm all for it.

    Battle of the Gods was terrific and is absolutely worth a watch.

    It also retconned GT out of existence

    I hope Vegeta gets substantially stronger. Would be very nice to see even if he'll never surpass Goku

    What Marvel character could John Cho be

  • sarukunsarukun RIESLING OCEANRegistered User regular
    He's kinda old, but Amadeus Cho sort of springs immediately to mind because of reasons.

    But frankly I'd love to see him as Spider-man just because I think he has a pretty solid Peter Parker vibe going on.

    John Cho is 42 dude

    he's WAY too old for amadeus, and probably too old for peter

    I mean, they could tweak the characters for screen, happens all the time in adaptations.

    Actually, now that I think about it, I would love a sort of 70's Hulk TV Series where Cho has just been on the run his whole life and is now hardend bad-ass MacGuyver-genius John Cho.

    Who uses like

    I don't know

    professional wrestling

    as his main defensive fighting style.

    Not overtly
    Basically its Toriyama adding new canon. This takes place after Buu and adds a new final Super sayian form that ignores SSJ4

    I would say not being a dude cruising towards 50 is a pretty essential part of the Amadeus Cho character.

  • KyouguKyougu Registered User regular
    They should introduce Cho in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Though I guess his initial arc would be too close to Skye.

    Yes, and they tried to use a body double and Frankenstein Evans face on

    And that didn't work

    Wong being his assistant seems ok. Like he needs somebody who can keep his corporeal form safe. A badass warrior monk can do that

    Yeah, but that was used for a very specific plot purpose, for the first part of the film. I'm talking about using it all the time, for the purpose of assembling an "ideal" actor. (so, like, if instead of Chris Prat getting into shape, they just cg'd him for the entire film to look buff when he's still as chubby as he was on parks and rec.)

    I don't think the tech is cheap enough to justify it for an entire movie, compared to just getting an actor who,will get in shape, but one day it probably will be.

    No, I mean, that's not what they did in the film, from what I remember

    They went full blown CGI with significant sections of it because the body double didn't move in the right ways in order to pull off what they needed

    It totally did because they spent the whole movie playing up his size with camera and make up tricks. So when you got to the cgi you were already expecting a skinny short guy

    Actually, they used multiple tricks in different scenes depending on what was needed. There was a skinny body double that they filmed from behind and sometimes put Evans face onto, other times they cgi'd him smaller, other times they used camera tricks. The idea was to not rely on one trick, but to use several, making it harder for your brain to home in on how the visual was being manipulated.

    What is initial D

    Let's put it this way.

    When the trailer for Tokyo Drift played before V for Vendetta all those years ago, my friends and I thought it was a trailer for an Initial D movie.
