probably the difficulties contrasting it with Thor's red cape. They where not called 4 color comics for nothing back then.
With yellow hair, red cape, and a blue vest, Thor's color scheme is the primary triadic of the color wheel.
Boom, done.
It's a bit weird though that three of the primary characters had their hair colour changed:
- Thor (red in mythology, though that is debated, blond in comics)
- Loki ( red in mythology, black in comics)
- Sif (blond/golden-haired in mythology (and that's actually a plotpoint), black in comics)
Netflix certainly knows how to handle its international marketing with its recent expansion.
Here's another Lunar New Year promo, this time a mailer for the Korean market:
The art is done in a traditional Korean style and Daredevil's playing Yutnori, a Parcheesi (Ludo)-type game played for the holiday.

This is not going to end well, is it?
Well I don't think anyone was really asking for another Spawn, well... anything. It does sound like it's just trying to ride the coattails of the recent R-rated movies that are making money, like Deadpool. We can only hope for the best. We can only hope for the best.

So like he's Slenderman, but only targets bad guys.
I don't *hate* Spawn, really. I haven't been interested in him for a long time, and every time something happens with him its usually boring, uninspired, ignores/retcons/fucks up whatever stuff was any good that happened before, or is just the same origin story told over again, because that's the only Spawn story MacFarlane knows how to tell.
But yeah, I can't say there's any part of me that actively wants this to not happen or anything. I have a soft spot for Spawn when Greg Capulo was drawing him, so I wish him well, in that I don't wish him any specific harm.
Deadpool just made like, a bazillion dollars, which proves that lame '90s characters hobbled together out of better pre-existing characters can be rehabilitated and hammered into something decent. "Venom + Ghost Rider" isn't an inherently bad idea ...

The trouble with Spawn has always been McFarlane and his uber-90s aesthetic. The idea of a government assassin who is, literally, burned by his agency then comes back from the dead thanks to infernal powers has a lot of potential. Think about what Spawn would be like if, say, you used the Bourne/Bond films as templates instead of Batman.
I'd watch a Spawn reboot with a solid director and cast behind it. The guys who did Spirit of Vengeance would be perfect, or Guillermo del Toro.
How does everyone feel about
I am unreasonably fond of it.
Except
Watched this with some co-workers, we were all very happy to see that
It worked for the comics.
They pulled it off.
I was hoping they'd find a way to keep Superman heroic with how many great action scenes they gave to Benman (who was great as brutal Batman). And, final fight spoiler.
I almost wish that had been done in the comics now, it was visually perfect.
That's largely based off the Batman/WW stuff, not so much the Superman stuff. Though the small Lois and Clark screentime worked well.
I honestly don't know how they're expecting me to care for any of the other Justice Leaguers outside of a Batman movie though (which I'd love to see an Affleck solo movie). What they showed seemed rather laughable. I'm not against a WW movie but it's gotta do something decent with a WWI premise to make me interested. Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg all looked ridiculous.
But that ending was very well done from a cinematic standpoint.
While it had plenty of visual flash, the underlying story was hackneyed, asinine, and nonsensical even by Michael Bay standards. The story failed to establish anything prior to the characters carrying out actions. Characters lurched from plot point to plot point without reason or regard to thought and sense. The fights were unconvincing, languid affairs in which little to nothing of consequence was at stake.
There is so much wrong with the movie that I hope the rumors are true and that Snyder had almost no say in the final cut. Otherwise, I'm going to start counting him out in terms of directors who can tell a story.
I think this was very much a movie for people who are already fans of all those characters. Although I don't even care about Aquaman and I still thought his appearance was pretty cool.
I'm really surprised it's getting as much hate as it is. Not every character was my favorite version of that character, but the versions they used worked well within the story, I thought. It was really fun, enough so that I guess I'm not bothered by stuff like the janky pacing everyone says was in it.
That scene almost had me on my feet.
The bit where
It's a shame so many people aren't enjoying as much - I think it might be my new favorite comic book movie.
Goyer, sure. I trust the new guy, get him away from Snyder and he'll be ok.

Look, Yvonne is nice and all but she hasn't worked with any of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Katee has worked with Groot AND Drax! Looks great in a flight suit. Probably enjoys punching things. And rides a sweet fucking motorcycle.
I'm getting pissed at Marvel right now cause how it won't happen.
Fuck you Marvel!
edit: she did the voice of Batwoman in the new Batman animated movie, she would actually be really good as a live action Batwoman in possibly a Batfleck movie.
I was wondering if maybe Brie Larson would be interested in playing Captain Marvel, that would be a huge get for Marvel.
