Avengers: Infinity War

I'm guessing you knew what you were missing, though?

They're definitely more languorous, but the plot for the first two of those mentioned films could be written on the back of a napkin - I'm not sure you could get LOTR into a shorter form without significant damage.

As I say that I'm sure that there's a super cut of 'just the Frodo and Sam, none of that other shite"

ill kill fuckers

the plot for the first two of those mentioned films could be written on the back of a napkin

one might then point to said napkins as signal examples of narrative discipline, good to have you on board

there are only seven basic napkins

The rest are paste

it's just one half-baked course of bullshit after another.

New board description plz

TBF sometimes I don't bother to bake my bullshit at all

my posts are bullshit carpaccio

I would've preferred Thanos' original motive, NIHILISM why because he's in love with DEATH, or Darkseid's anti-life equation, which at least have some semblance of internal consistency/logic.

I guess there was a new sorta teaser/trailer? Anyway, all's quiet on the Fox front, but I wouldn't be shocked if when they bring everyone back, they hint that some new folks (Fantastic Four?) might be back with them.

I also assume there will have to be some serious time travel involved in this one, since if half the population vanished civilization would pretty much be over.

New trailer makes it look like if The Leftovers was resolved with space punching

xp Today's homework: the wiki section on Pandemics.

TBF there are few things that can't be resolved with space punching.

i haven't yet seen the leftovers and now, given simon's implication that it is not resolved by space punching, i don't think i ever will

When/if they do incorporate the FF, I look forward to whatever metacomment Cap makes about Johnny Storm (too bad Killmonger won't be around to do likewise).

chris evans' cap will have been recast with michael chiklis by then, adding even more depth to the humour

It will be the deepest humor you ever encountered, so deep.

i'm pretty sure killmonger will be return, if only in the very last shot of BP2

also, see the leftovers

is it resolved by space punching? if no, see previous post

is an American supernatural mystery drama television series created by Damon Lindelof <sound of a tab closing>

Mind you he brought the space punching in Kirk Vs Sherlock!

Lol we've been over this elsewhere but it's excellent and basically the anti-Lost xp

yeah i love teeing off on lindelof but this really did feel like the closest we're going to get to an apology

Season 1 of The Leftovers is really good, and surprising, but Season 2 is fucking amazing.

they're certainly doing their best to keep most of this under wraps

Recall, as I did the other day, that in 2014 we got an official announcement of the full slate of MCU films up through the impending Avengers installment. There were some tweaks along the way, but we mostly knew how the next half decade would unfold. As of now, there has been one (1) officially-announced MCU film in phase 4. And yeah, we know some of the stuff that's in the works, but they've been incredibly cagey about what's to come and also super-successful in maintaining the air of secrecy. Especially considering at least a few of these things have to be filming currently or at least well into pre-production.

Yeah, they know what they're doing.

Anyway, if literally half of the world's population disappeared, I doubt people would post up "missing" signs.

(For those who haven't been keeping score, the quasi-official list of films coming in the near-ish future include Black Widow, a second installment for both Black Panther and Doctor Strange, The Eternals, Shang-Chi, and very recent rumors of new Ghost Rider and Blade installments set in the MCU.)

In a better world, I'd say we could safely expect a proper FF film to drop eventually but it feels like we probably have a while to wait before the brand becomes untarnished.

Anyway, if literally half of the world's population disappeared, I doubt people would post up "missing" signs.

People act stupid and confused enough without superheroes running around to complicate things. I'm sure there'd be like a Facebook group of people convinced Captain America is hiding their loved ones.

Did you see that piece somewhere about Noah Hawley meeting with Kevin Feige about his proposed FF movie he was going to make for Fox, with a completed script and everything? Apparently Feige passed without even reading the script, but it at least implied Feige has some sort of FF in mind. Good luck secretly casting four movie stars, though I suppose the MCU has never been particularly shy about its casts, just its plots.

do fox still have to squeeze out an ff movie every few years in order to keep the rights or have things changed?

one thing that trailer really brings home is how much more adventurous marvel's colour palettes have gotten since ragnarok and black panther, a lotta very stylised / neon-y frames in there

Disney bought out Fox, mah dude. AFAIK they have carte blanche with everything save spider-related characters (and also whatever the weird deal with solo Hulk movies is, and I guess there's also some weird rights issue with Namor?).

oh yeah, of course they did

in which case let peyton reed do his 60s-set ff movie imo

Did you see? Did you see? There are rumblings that you will in fact get your Johnny Blaze movie.

MY johnny blaze movie? reteaming nic cage with panos cosmatos?

I didn't know I wanted that but it turns out that I do, very much.

neither did i until it just occurred to me there, tbf

Kinda can't wait until the day when Marvel becomes secure enough in their cinematic success to just hand a project off to a maverick and let them get weird with it. Harmony Korine's SuperPro flick will be off the chain.

Anyway, if literally half of the world's population disappeared, I doubt people would post up "missing" signs.

If no one witnessed your family member or friend disappear and was able to tell you about it, you'd try to hold on to hope. Cars and planes crashing, people stranded away from their home, others taken to whatever hospitals or emergency shelters they were closest to and no good way to track where anyone is when a bunch of physical and technical infrastructure is wrecked.

I'm also reminded of the few people who pretended to have died in the 9/11 attacks only for them to pop up later. Missing posters? Sure.

Speaking of posters

Check out the new poster for Marvel Studios’ #AvengersEndgame. See it in theaters April 26. pic.twitter.com/c4yyiShAqo

Which serves as a further handy of reminder of who's still alive at this point.

(Though I am kinda annoyed that Danai Gurira isn't in the credits list up top when everyone else is.)

Tony Stark getting some dead in him, from the looks of that.

where is winston duke??? he was alive, right?
