won't he be in at all?

He wasn't listed on the cast and there is no footage of Destro in the trailer. Has me very sad that we wont see him again. I think Eccleston is probably my favorite version of Destro so far.

Fortunately, a man in a metal mask is always replaceable!

I would be surprised if the "characters" of Scarlet and Duke die early in the 2nd film. Weren't they planning to make this into a trilogy from the get-go?

*Cowabunga Carl* · 12-13-2011, 08:59 PM

Yes they were. They planned three films but the first one didn't do so well. I was surprised we got a second one. I think this will be a very lose sequel and set up for future movies while quietly letting the first fade into the background.

The first film made over 300 million worldwide how is that bad?

*Cowabunga Carl* · 12-14-2011, 08:36 PM

That's world wide. It didn't do well in the U.S. though. I liked it. But over all it was panned by everyone.

i gotta agree there

I always saw Destro as the brains. He was cool and calculating, and I felt Eccleston portrayed that so well. Then again I think he is an amazing actor all around and he is my favorite Doctor Who also.

Seems like they threw the baby out with the bathwater on a lot of the things that did work in the first one.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 12-14-2011, 01:35 PM

Yeah the more I watch the trailer the more it feels completely different. There were things that worked in the first, and there were things that did not. I see a lot more of the cartoon in this take then the previous.

This movie is the reason why Season 2 of the toon is delayed. The cartoon and Retaliation are connected in some way. They put the cartoon on hiatus until the movie came out because they wanted to reflect what happens. I wonder if this means we'll be seeing an animated Bruce Willis?? *lol*

Yes he was a good Doctor, who never got to truly shine
