    When I was a kid, my favorite thing by far was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
    ... and also Star Wars
    ... and also Power Rangers for a while there
    ... and also Jurassic Park
    Etc. Kids don't like just one thing to the exclusion of every other thing.

    speculation I saw might be Starhawk from the future GOTG

    The only thing known is that Kurt Russell didn't have a scene with him so no Tango & Cash reunion

    Starlord kidnapped him and is forcing him to do an off-off-off-Broadway production of Rocky.

    GOTG could totally kick Star Wars's's's ass.

    Most of it, sure, but some of it is off the charts crazy town. You really think GotG has what it takes to take on Jedi/Sith/Planet Busting Weapon Platforms?

    I mean, this is before watching GotG2, maybe in that they take on that rogue sentient planet or Galacticus and win? Don't think that is in the trailer(s) but I suppose the Marvel comic-verse does have a few things that could give Luke/Darth Vader/Deathstar v3.0 pause.

    I'm interested to see how you back that statement up, though a PM may be more appropriate given the thread :D

    Star Lord helped take out an entire universe that had killed the cosmic concept of death.

    GotG vs Star Wars?

    Cosmo is good Sputnik Dog. He will give all Jedi many nightmares to loosen the bowels. Yes Comrade?
    Chewie vs Groot - I AM GROOT
    Han vs Starlord - Han couldn't handle Peter's dance moves
    Gamora and Drax vs everyone else - Thumb across neck means death!

    Ronin vs Vader. Vader in the comics / extended universe got pretty powerful. But Ronin, with his hammer and the power stone, was a weapon of mass destruction. Ronin with just his hammer is enough to Judge any Sith or Jedi and find them wanting.

    Considering how utterly INSANE Marvel Cosmic gets. If the Star Wars crew came over to Cosmic Marvel. It would be about the Equivalent of that time Starlord and Nova ended up in the Cancerverse. The universe would be so utterly alien that they could barely comprehend.

    Starlord needs him to win a bet with Eternity. Only Stallone can beat Eternity in an arm wrestling competition by going OVER THE TOP

    Star Wars is more feminist and more racially diverse than the series that came out 40 years later.

    Early reviews are coming in for GotG2.

    All the ones i read were positive with the exception of "that one guy" who prattles on about how it isnt as good as the first, and too many effects, and not deep enough until finally admitting that "I'm not a fan of these kind of movies" in the end. Go figure. Sorry it wasnt an artful commentary on humanity using extreme deep cinematography and set design.
    Its a movie about a bunch of a-holes in space featuring a smart ass raccoon and a lovable tree.

    Captain Marvel has a Director, but in a surprising twist, it's a pair of Directors



    *formatting changed so lost the headline there*
    Captain Marvel’ Finds Directors in Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck
    Best known for their character-driven dramas like Ryan Gosling’s “Half Nelson” (2006) and Ryan Reynolds’ “Mississippi Grind” (2015), Boden and Fleck also directed episodes for such popular TV series as Showtime’s “The Affair” and “Billions.”

    I've not seen any of their prior work, but it's good to see the film moving forward

    Mississippi Grind was a good VOD movie that really shows no bearing on doing a space action movie, but it continues past choices where Marvel takes lesser known people just so they can control their actions better.

    Seems like a small trade off for getting a massive bump in your career. Thats like going from the Varsity football team to the Patriots.

    It looked like it was not made for my middle age ass, but for the youngsters.

    Which is cool, not everything has to be for me. Marvel is a big enough brand now that they can branch out and do different stuff.

    Or if you're like me and have PSVR, you get that shit on 3D blu-ray and taste the colors.

    While kinda off topic, I've been pleasantly surprised by my overall PSVR experience. The Move controllers certainly are less precise and the play area a lot tighter than what I experienced demoing the VIVE on a sufficiently powerful PC, but for a living room and/or couch experience it works quite well and I can be sensitive to vertigo and thus far the only thing that's made me even the least bit queasy was EVE Valkyrie in the middle of a heavy dogfight.

    And the added 3D blu-ray functionality has been a great treat. It replicates about a 70-75" screen just a few feet in front of your face, so it fills your whole cone of vision and you don't have distracting dead spots on the periphery, and I find the 3D on it pops better than what it does on the 3DTV several of my friends rock.

    Dr. Strange is by far the best looking of the Marvel films I've tried in 3D with it, although surprisingly Thor and Avengers 1 hold up pretty nice as well.

    Eh.

    I mean, it might be good but this trailer is all teen angst and no "this is also a Marvel show". If I wanted teen angst without superpowers I'd turn on CW and there's a 100% shot of teen angst and only a 50% shot of superpowers.

    There's a market for "teen angst show based on *random* property" and Marvel is looking to have a show in every genre and on every channel by 2025

    Like, they made a show based on Archie and it found it's legs with kids who don't give a shit about Archie

    DC is kind of killing it with this model. Everyone's in their 20s, but it's basically still the teen angst show model.

    Riverdale doesn't really fit that mold. It's much more of a teen take on Twin Peaks than it is generic teen angst. And it has a large and widely varied age-wise fanbase in SE++.
