Pretty pissed that Aronofsky is off this project


I couldn't be happier that he's off especially with all of the stupid ideas he wanted in the franchise. He was trying to turn an action film into some arthouse social commentary flick before the studio was like this is Wolverine, not Requiem for a Dream 2 guy.
So you think that the US government during the biggest war in our nation's history would make public the records of a super soldier project just because you think they are honest open folks?


:rotflmao:


Troll you are naive as all hell. His name isn't know in the MCU, none of your speculative trolling is going to change that fact. What's worse troll is you are trying to change around the plots and events of a movie to fit your stupid ideas and beliefs. Troll, you need to go elsewhere.

BTW, no one cares about Anchorman anymore.

It's okay to be ignorant buddy, just don't bring it to the internet. :cheers:
Captain America was the one who was famous, not Rogers.

When he did the war bond shows, he was only known as Captain America. They never referred to him as Steve Rogers.

Even with the events of Time Square, they grabbed them and left. Half the people in Time Square in the movie weren't even paying attention. Besides they probably concocted some bs story about a mental patient or something.

Fact is, his real name is only known by a select few in the MCU. It doesn't matter how many people in the military may have known him 70 years ago, it's not 70 years ago and I doubt those guys were going around telling everyone his real name either. Besides, the waitress calls him just by Captain America. If she knew his name like you claim everyone does, then she would have called him Steve Rogers. Clearly only a privileged few know his real name, his real identity in this MCU and all of those people are either in the military/government or are a part of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Are all Oregon Duck fans stupid? I heard rumors that this was true, so maybe we should have a thread on that.
Ruth is the best all-around baseball player in history, hands down. :bow:

Jordan was the best two way basketball player in history as well and took Phil Jackson from a no-name CBA coach to being the best coach of the last 20 odd years.

I personally believe that Gretzky is the GOAT in hockey as well and if it wasn't for him 95% of the American public wouldn't give half a shite about hockey in general.

Football is a little trickier since it's the ultimate team sport and for the last 40+ years players have only played one side of the ball. But since quarterback is the most important position on the field, you have to go with the best quarterbacks of all-time and that discussion really is down to 4 men: Montana, Marino, Elway, and Manning. There really is no wrong answer from the group.

One idiot called me an alter so another idiot has to outidiot that other idiot and call me an alter every time he addresses me. I've told him that if he wants to be so childish, then take it up in another thread and leave this one to the topic at hand, but he won't listen. His trolling needs to be addressed and dealt with so that this thread can stay on track.

BTW, I'm going to love it in 20-25 years when Disney and Marvel, after finally regaining the rights to Spiderman, X-Men and the Fantastic Four can really build on a new MCU with all of the key players involved. Of course they'd have to address the origins of Cap and Nick Fury, but I'm sure they'll figure it out.

Hockey, easily. Wayne is so far ahead of everyone else in so many categories, and he holds so many all-time records that it's pretty much inconcievable that we'll ever ever ever see another hockey player do the same things that he did.


FWIW, I'm not one of them, but there are still people who consider Bobby Orr the GOAT.
quote:

70 years of him being dead, plus military record and along with witnesses, alter. Not exactly a large leap here. If he is a historical legendary man, like he is portrayed in the MCU, his identity is known.



Him being dead only adds onto my point, troll. Your not helping my point there. Most of the people who saw him 70 years ago probably thought he was just an actor anyways because all he was doing was those traveling war bond sales shows anyways. Most of those people are dead. It's not like the missions he ran in Europe were directly against the German army or were approved or acknowledged by the military at large. He attacked only HYRDA bases. Like I said, he was only known as Captain America to the general public in today's world in the MCU.

Since you haven't read comics since the mid-90s you don't need to explain Civil War to anyone. Just because you read multiple film websites and Wikipedia, you are clearly less familiar with the source material.


And you seem to think that the comics have any bearing on what goes on in the MCU troll. I don't exactly see you dropping high knowledge of the Marvel comic continuum either there sport.

quote:



Of course he is, it's a major storyline in Marvel's history, but other ones fit better than Civil War. If the MCU had more of their IPs in house, then it could work, but not with that small of a number. A "war" needs more than 8 people. That's just a fight


And they could add more in. They added Hawkeye and Black Widow in in other people's movies with no problem. Black Panther, Luke Cage, Ant Man, Moon Knight, Namor, The Wasp, Quicksilver, etc. They have dozens of characters they can pick from to bring introduce either in the individual movie or just bring them along in The Avengers. Hell they could just release little 15 minutes films on their website with quick summaries of their characters to give moviegoers a quick backstory into the new characters. Pixar has been doing this with each of their new releases and it's been pretty popular granted they don't use short films to do it, but it's a possibility.

Think outside the box troll and you may come across a good idea.

city of Miami doesn't support the Dolphins


Weren't all their games this year at 85-90% capacity?

The Marlins got great crwods in their first couple of seasons. The Hurricanes are never going to get big support again unless they are consistently top 10 because hardly anyone in the city of Miami actually went/goes to that school. It's a $40,000 a year private school so it's not like the poor hispanics and black folk in that city can get into it and the wealthier white folks are too busy at their country clubs to give a shite.
Rogers name is not known publicly in the MCU. Hell only a few people in the military knew his true identity and all but Fury are dead. Besides it's not like the government is going to go around advertising that they have a super solider formula. In the MCU, the public only knows him as Captain America. Same with Bruce Banner. Sure some people know his name, but the general public doesn't. Tony Stark made himself known and he'd obviously be on the pro-Registration side. Rogers would be on the anti-side. Thor would be on the IDGAF side. They can surely introduce more Marvel characters between now and then, but they have their 4 principals and two lesser known characters. Black Panther could easily be brought into the fold and if they bring in Ant-Man, that's an 8th known superhuman. Not ever character they bring in needs to be featured at a high level in their own movie or someone else's movie either. Luke Cage could be brought in without a big fuss and so could some lesser characters.

It can be done if they want to and Whedon has already said he's interested in that story.

it would be cool, but would have to be at least its own movie if not 2



I posted my idea for it on here. Have Thanos make a deal with The Skrulls that he will spare their planet from his wrath if they help him conquer Earth and basically be his mercenary army. They agree and commence their attack on Earth. Meanwhile they have their own back-up plan of infiltrating Earth's governments and intelligence agencies to find out all of Earth's superhero's identities.

Thanos's attack fails and the remaining Skrulls "flee" and my "flee" I mean they leave whatever battlefield they are on and assume civilian lives and such. This would open up the plot for The Avengers 3. Our heroes are protecting Earth, but are causing some serious damage in the process and S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't seem to be accountable to anyone. The public demands some accountability. So the undercover Skrulls in our government push for the Superhuman Registration Act. The group gets split among each side. Someone on the anti-side goes off (Hulk maybe?) and in the process of saving something or someone, destroys a lot of shite. This leads to the passage of it and the government tries to use the pro-side to make the anti-side comply. Shitstorm ensues. Meanwhile, the Skrulls are demilitarizing the Earth and siphoning off resources and such. Let Whedon or another screenwriter take it from there.

Solid idea, but I still want to see a Civil War storyline damnit! :angry:

i imagine logistically it would be easier to film one long movie and edit it into 2 than do two completely separate movies.



They filmed the LOTR of the trilogy all at the same time so this isn't a problem. The Matrix 2/3, Pirates 2/3, and HP7 were all filmed simultaneously so this isn't unheard of.


I don't mind The Avengers 2&3 being filmed simultaneously as long as they are separate stories rather than a part 1/2 type deal like HP7 was.

quote:

of course i have no fricking idea what goes into making a movie


Hollywood politics are a bitch. Once filming gets started, it's relatively smooth sailing as long as no one involved lets their ego get in the way. Egos can delay, ruin, or even kill projects entirely.

I haven't read the comics since the mid early 90's so this is the first I've heard of that. Fair enough then.
