    Regarding Ultimate Tony's brain tumor
    the sentient one turned out to be where an ultimate infinity gem was manifesting; the Anthony persona was just a side effect of having a reality bending artifact in his head.

    I actually thought that was a dumber explanation than it just being a tumor that became sentient because Tony is a freakish genius

    As weird as it sounds, I liked the interactions between Tony and the tumour.

    Man the Captain America facebook page is full of people who are pissed about last night and getting turned away. Appearently, they gave away a bunch of VIP and press tickets and each event and those people filled a lot of seats, and in some places the theaters were overbooked 3 or 4 to 1. The whole thing was handled awfully. They did offer us tickets for another show...so my friends all voted to see Divergent. Guys Divergent is awful.

    Honestly it's getting a pretty huge eyeroll from me. Like, the tickets plainly say they may have overbooked (however stupid that idea might be), and to arrive early. They also said no recording devices, including/especially mobile devices, and there were a lot of people freaking out that they couldn't bring their cell phones.

    Ours was generally handled really well, though, even though a lot of people still got turned away.

    I think he's still way too tall but they did a good job of de-handsoming him.

    It would be better if that pilot script didn't have someone point out he looks like a Penguin in literally every scene he is in.

    is that pilot script confirmed tho? i have no idea how tall the actor is

  • Options
    BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    It is pretty confirmed to be an actual pilot script, whether or not it was revisedbefore shooting is unknown.

    Taylor's at least average height, maybe a bit taller. And Oswald Cobblepot is...not. and it's a pretty big part of his character.

    How early did you get to your Tox? Like I said, we got to our like 2 hours early (my girlfriend had to work until 4) and some of the people who got turned away said they got there at 4 for a 7:30 showing. The guys at the front of the line said they got there when the theater opened and man, thats like, not feesable for most people.

    Appearently in Orlando no one got to see it since they couldn't get the key to work for the movie. That realllllly sucks. At my theater it was handled really poorly. There was maybe 400 or so people there if not more total and the theater had 1 guy who was disabled handling all of us and there was no communication until 7:20pm.

    Also they were shooting something in Chicago last night, we saw a production van from Buena Vista pictures and a bunch of trailers with names like "Cookie" and "Hakeem" and "Hakeem Stunt Double" on them. No idea what they were shooting though

    He hasn't been on New Avengers for a few issues. Simone Bianchi is the current artist and Valerio Schiti is up next.

There was maybe 400 or so people there if not more total and the theater had 1 guy who was disabled handling all of us and there was no communication until 7:20pm.

    We got there sometime between 5:30 and 6. Like I said, there were easily already 100 people there when we got there, and they mentioned there were a couple of dozen people who had been there since between 3 and 4. Which, yeah, I mean, that's not feasible for a lot of people, but, I mean....that's kinda how that works.

    Like there's an article on Bleeding Cool where someone was bitching about how they weren't allowed to take their work laptop into the theater with them and it's like...right? What the fuck did you expect? They were wanding people and telling them that you could only even bring your phone with you if it had your ticket on it. Otherwise, you couldn't even bring it into the theater, and the ones with e-tickets had to bag 'n' tag after they showed their tickets.

    But! This theater apparently gets these events pretty often, so they were reasonable well prepared. The theater's GM was inside working with the people setting it up, and had a staffer inside just sort of watching folks, and another dude outside running interference and trying to keep the crowd from being too much of an interference to the rest of the mall. And by 6:30-7 he was telling people they might want to rethink even waiting in line. Because he'd already counted close to 300 people in line, and the theater only sits 260ish, and there were going to be at least one full row worth of seats reserved for press.

    So they were really cool, and the people running the event basically just showed up, said bag 'n' tag would only be available for people with e-tickets, wanded people as they came in, checked tickets (People with 'Unlimited' tickets got priority :fistshake:), and then did a raffle right before the movie started (which was closer to 8ish).

    But I think our theater was only overbooked about 2 to 1, and I know ours was the last one to sell out of tickets.

    I really liked Deadato's work on Dark Avengers but he's gotten a lot lazier since then.

    Hopefully he brings the good now that he's on the big event book.

    Plus the Sam Humphires written Ultimates wasn't that great anyway but Anthony was a cool concept. Joshua Hale Fialkov most not have thought so since he pretty much got rid of "him" in his admittedly fun run afterwards.

    I just cannot understand how so many people like that run. Even if you did like what it was doing I wouldn't describe it as fun.

    God damn Deodato's shit bothers me almost as much as Greg Land

    And I don't make that comparison lightly

    It's just so stiff and out of place. It's a bad Alex Ross painting without his Norman Rockwell photographic realism to bring a sense of life to it

    Once you realize that it's 3D models all you can see are dead-eyed statues! Straight up ruined that casino issue for me

    So that What If? Age of Ultron mini hits next month and, luckily, each issue is its own story so you can pick and choose cause the Thor issue (where Ultron killed Thor early on and thus Ragnarok happens and reaches Earth) looks pretty rad:

    'Jem' Creator Christy Marx Shut Out of Live Action Movie
    In a statement on her Facebook page that followed the announcement of Jon M. Chu’s upcoming film, Marx revealed that she was informed of the movie a few days before the announcement and spoke to Chu about it, but that “no one in the entertainment arm of Hasbro wanted to talk to me, have me write for it, or at the very least consult on it.”

    Well that's pretty crappy of you there, Hasbro.
