But -- did you ever follow the Dr. Mcninja web comic ... ? That dude could totally capture the tone and action of Captain Marvel.

Good discussion here.
Not much has been given ...Ah! Good discussion here.<br />Not much has been given away, but I've got such high hopes for Chris Chibnall's tenure, Jodie and the crew are firing the imagination already... the BBC can be so cruel in their expert building of anticipation!<br /><br />Man, I'm so wondering about Cap'n Marvel's naming dilemma too. It's bound to be part of the movie humour but I've no idea on how it'll resolve. There's always been allowances because of history, but the way the big studios protect their turf today?? <br />Because CM was a funny paper aimed to include, perhaps, eight year olds it was always up in the air exactly how "Grown up" The Big Red Cheese was... so CM as a big kid is never quite in conflict with the golden aged original... but it's always hard to spot when "the wisdom of Solomon" is in action!Brendoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10913031340103600964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-48208813289051208032018-07-23T12:16:10.989-03:002018-07-23T12:16:10.989-03:00Anon: Dwayne Johnson isn't in this movie, so n...Anon: Dwayne Johnson isn't in this movie, so no Black Adam.<br /><br />arw1985: Mothra for sure, she's the "goodie" kaiju, after all.<br /><br />As for Titans, the only team with that name I actually felt something for the Bob Haney era's, and I don't put TV shows on my must see list very often. I'm a year late on all the CW shows, for example, backed up on the Marvel Netflix output (usually 2 shows behind) and haven't seen most of the new ones at all. If I sit down in front of the TV, it'll usually be a film (as This Week in Geek proves). Whether Titans is good or bad, its trailer goes for unnecessary shock value. I also disagreed with Discovery dropping the F-bomb last year. I don't find it edgy, just lazy, and it takes me out of the fantasy.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-3050989622784373092018-07-23T12:00:29.925-03:002018-07-23T12:00:29.925-03:00I think that "turtle" was supposed to be...I think that "turtle" was supposed to be Mothra in her worm state. I could be wrong, though.<br /><br />As for the Titans trailer, I did like it but even I'll admit it was trying to be a little too edgy. I can't blame you for not putting it here. Hopefully, it isn't all that.arw1985https://www.blogger.com/profile/02413390156820607302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-35756255243776180372018-07-23T08:20:44.257-03:002018-07-23T08:20:44.257-03:00About "Shazam", all the trailer clips se...About "Shazam", all the trailer clips seem to be from the first half of the movie. Obviously I haven't seen the movie yet, but it seems likely to me the movie will go something like this:<br /><br />- We are introduced to Billy and discover he's a kid who likes fun but stands up to bullies. Character established, audience is on his side.<br /><br />- Billy gets his powers, and at first it looks like it's all fun and games. That's where most of the Captain Marvel* scenes seem to take place.<br /><br />- Later in the movie, Black Adam* shows up, and Billy realizes he needs to use his powers to stop a bully. He takes his responsibilities seriously, and becomes a hero.<br /><br /><br />*: Man, the names in this movie. "Captain Marvel" and "Black Adam" are likely to ruffle feathers, but calling them "Shazam" and "Captain Chocolate Egg Cream" means they can't even use their own names in casual conversation. Black Adam is an easier fix, just call him Teth-Adam. But as for Captain Marvel, there aren't that many good options that spring to mind. Maybe something like "Divine Lightning" -- a terrible name but you see where I'm going with this. To me he'll always be "Captain Marvel", or "The Big Red Cheese".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
