    Anyone who has problems with Muppets needs to go watch Farscape.

    Remember that Peter Dinklage is in this movie and we have absolutely no word on who he is playing and he hasn't been in any cast photos or set pics?

    They're usually not such a tight ship with that shit

    It's got me curious

    I honestly doubt that these movies are gonna be particularly close adaptations of any one story

    Like Civil War and Winter Soldier are the closest they've come to doing direct adaptations and they are both pretty wildly different outside of the core ideas of "Cap vs. Tony over registration" and "Bucky is alive, brainwashed, evil".

    It's probably gonna be about as direct as "Thanos wants the Infinity Stones"

    Heck it feels like what they are actually taking a bunch from is the hickman Infinity crossover.

    Yeah, they've got the Black Order, the Outriders and the invasion of Wakanda

    But like I said I bet that's gonna be about the extent of it

    Thanos looks like his front yard has a confederate flag, a kiddie pool half full of dirt, and a couple of dogs fucking under the front porch

    The potency of this image is too much for me

    Don't fuck with Rod Thanos's fuckin' truck. It's the one with the nuts.

    He didnt put them on his truck, he put half of them on his chin

    Had no idea Thanos was a ballchinian, not that these movies would be crossing over with the Men In Black series

    I would hope they don't cast him as a character who has a defining trait of "looks weird/is small/has a big head"

    Fox casting him as Trask was cool as hell, ain't no reason Trask couldn't be a little person

  • Undead ScottsmanUndead Scottsman Registered User regular
    Technically Pip's defining trait is that he's annoying as shit. He'd be exactly the same character at 4' or at 6'.

    But that also means he's annoying as shit.

    Apparently he was spotted with red hair recently, which is the same color hair as Pip. But it's also the same color hair as Starfox so, uh, pick your poison.

    Gonna let you all join me on the quick mental journey I just took

    They should subvert expectations with Dinklage's casting

    Oh hey, what about the super strong Black Order dude, I can't remember his name

    Oh wait, no let's definitely not do that

    I agree, I'm just thinking along the lines of "executives see he looks good in facial hair similar to the character, don't consider the bad optics otherwise."

    I mean Pip is literally named Pip the Troll and is a pretty dang short character

    It would not be a great look, in my opinion

    Honestly my guess is he's doing the vo/mo-cap for Ebony Maw

    They haven't announced any of the people playing the Black Order so I wouldn't be shocked if they were some big names

    Trolls come in all sizes my dude.

    And yes, he's small in the comics; what I'm saying is that doesn't really play into his character much. He's easily intimidated, but when dealing with the likes of Thanos or the Avengers, you can be 6 feet tall and still be intimidated.

    EDIT: And yes, it's a bad look to cast Dinklage for this role. But it's a bad idea to put Pip into the movie at all. He's a wildly tone-deaf character at the best of times and is better suited to a more light-hearted film. He's the kind of character you wouldn't be surprised to show up in Guardians or Deadpool.

    Can they use The Watcher? Thought that license was wrapped up with Fox.

    They can use The Watchers. They can't use Uuatu.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
  • cursedkingcursedking Registered User regular
    Dinklage as a very very dryly constantly annoyed uatu is actually suddenly really appealing to me

    I just disagree that you can gloss over the weirdness, hypothetically, of casting the most prominent little person actor on the planet as a short, grotesque creature literally named a troll by saying his appearance doesn't "play into his character much".

    I never said that it glosses over that fact. I said that wasn't Pip's defining character trait.
