Marvel Movie marathon

[The Stryker]

Nobody should watch Iron Man 2 again.

[Cowabunga Carl]

What book was that in? I don't remember Ultimate Cap saying it was okay to kill kids.

Iron Man 2 isn't a bad movie it's just to much of a setup for the things to come. The Whiplash story ends up taking a back seat.

[Candy Kappa]

I don't remember the title, but it was during Ultimate War, when they where capturing Xavier and the X-Men

[Cowabunga Carl]

I'll have to wait to get my copy of that from Seattle. It's in storage at the moment. I remember vaguely now what your talking about. I believe he was talking about the X-men at the time and how they were fighting back and not holding back. He was just saying to level the field or at least thats how I took it.

Watching Thor now and have to say I love the scene when Odin rescues them and then the argument they have right before Thor is banished. It is probably one of the most powerful scenes on film, more then likely because of Anthony Hopkins.

[Slap-Happy]

What are you watching next? Thor and Incredible Hulk take place around the same time.

[Cowabunga Carl]

Hulk after Thor and then Cap.

My Dad showed up at my place so I'm a little behind where I want to be. I view Thor and Hulk happening at the same time and that's why Agent Coulson isn't in Hulk.

[sdp]

I view all the Marvel superhero movies (1999-Present) taking place in one universe, and no person is going to have me believe otherwise, I'll listen to no logic.. Some slight continuity errors but for the most part they work. I guess Ultimate Spiderman will ruin it for me.

[Candy Kappa]

even both Punisher films?

[Cowabunga Carl]

I like the Thomas Jane Punisher film. The Directors cut of that is actually pretty good. Also dug War Zone, it wasn't as good as the first I thought though. Heck I even like the Directors Cut of Daredevil and Ghost Rider.

[Candy Kappa]

I like both Punisher films, but they are in a different continuity

[Cowabunga Carl]

I think that you can "force" them into the same continuity. It's a little tough but do able.

I think my biggest complaint with Thor is that Volstagg isn't big enough.

[gobo]

Out of curiosity, why now? Avengers isn't out 'til May, right? O_o

[Cowabunga Carl]

cause I just had the urge to do it and the time to too. I don't have much down time so I thought I'd take advantage of it.

[Candy Kappa]

Speaking of Volstagg, I almost fell of my chair when I found out he was played by the same guy playing Punisher in War Zone

I'm horrible at names but Volstagg looked like some one I had seen before, but that darn beard...

[sdp]

Yeah I force both Punisher and Hulk movies together and they both mostly work well as sequels if it wasn't for the contradicting re-telling of the origin. I think both Punisher movies are awesome and both are opposites of each other.

I hope if the Avengers is a success Fox tries to make a crossover movie with X-Men/F4/DD and Sony with Spider-Man/Ghostrider. I fail to see why they wouldn't cash-in on the cross over hype that Marvel Studios started. I guess at this point it's more likely for them to lose the rights to some of those characters and Marvel to get them back. Personally I hope it doesn't happen, it's not like Marvel would be making movies for ALL those characters at once, if different companies have them the chance of them having movies is better. I loved crazy Nic in Ghost Rider and from what I heard the second one is not too different which is good for me but bad for everyone else. I also enjoyed the DC of DD though it's the only version I've seen.

I've yet to watch Thor/Caps but I took so long that I decided might as well wait until the Avengers movie to come out to watch them all. I liked IM2, it plays it safe but it's still entertaining. I found Hulk on the other hand very boring and inferior to Ang Lee's version.

[Candy Kappa]

With First Class, it seems like marvel Studios are sneaking in and help the other studios how to make a superhero movie

[Cowabunga Carl]

First Class is by far the best movie that Fox has made with the X-men. It seemed people actually took the time to get to know the characters they had and personalities right. I'm really excited to see where they go from there.

See I love Ed Nortons Hulk as was very angry when they replaced him. But it's not this new actors fault so I'm just waiting to see what he does with Banner/Hulk.

Yeah if you watch that scene in Iron Man 2... you'll see bits of "The Hulk" having his rampage on the college campus on the TV behind Stark and Nick Fury. So I guess Hulk is simultaneous with IM2, as are some of the events in Thor.

That's exactly why it IS a bad movie. It's barely a movie at all. It's just a really long and boring commercial for Avengers. Also Don Cheadle is completely flat as Rhodes.

Why the hell would they shackle Spider-man with Ghost Rider? Besides it not making any damn sense from a thematic sense, Ghost Rider movies don't make any money. All they would be doing is hurting their Spider-man cash.

I want to hear a coherent pitch for a X-men/F4/Daredevil crossover. Seriously. I want someone to try and make sense out of that mess.

I'd love to see Spidey team up with Captain America and/or Iron Man!
