Haven't seen the Town. Argo was good, but I just couldn't get myself not to be annoyed.

Rocket's voice:

I'm not sure what accent he's going for there. Not much to go on. But doesn't seem to sound any variety of brit.

Ahh, thanks. I was way off.

Now that you mention it, I do remember reading about the tesseract as the cosmic cube back when Avengers came out. That makes sense.

They are definitely changing the original material.

I wonder if they are going to introduce Adam Worlock. He is supposed to have the soul gem.
[Reply]

Also curious about which cosmic beings they are going to break out.
I really hope they are not going to act as if the Avengers will be enough to take down Thanos and the gems.

Still soooooo pissd that Marvel doesn't have the Surfer. He would be Huuuge in the new cosmic universe. Fox is just gonna screw him up again.

I remember reading the IG series as a kid and thinking it would make the best movie series ever. Never thought they would ever make it though.
It really is a childhood dream come true. Broke out all my old comics not to0o long back and still have them all in perfect condition.

I wonder if they will continue on the Infinity war when it's over.

For those interested in the best comic series ever (IMO)

Uh, what?

For fuck's sake, just let Marvel have their creations back.

Yup. Black Human torch.

Yeah. Making white characters black for the movies is nothing new (Kingpin and Nick Fury are two of the best-represented characters on screen), but . . .

A. They've never changed ethnicities to any other race but black. The more this goes on the more it seems like they're singling it out, which sounds a lot like tokenism.

B. Johnny (the Human Torch) and Sue (Invisible Woman) are brother and sister, and they're apparently keeping that relationship intact. They'll have to explain that somehow, and that elevates the ethnic change from "he just happens to be black" to a storyline change, which reeks even more of tokenism.

C. Why didn't they make Reed black? He'd be a perfect candidate, and . . .

D. The guy playing Reed looks about 12; Reed is in his forties or so and one of his defining characteristics is his greying temples. Also . . .

E. Jamie Bell as the Thing? Jamie Bell was Billy Elliott. I've taken craps bigger than him.

F. Honestly, their biggest problem is that they're basing it off the atrocious fanfiction-y Ultimate series. For those who don't read comics, the 'Ultimate Universe' is a sort of parallel world they invented about 15 years ago. It's terrible - all style with no substance, with stories based mostly on shock value alone while butchering perfectly good characters, and perpetually selling only mediocre numbers but inexplicably still around. The 'Ultimate Fantastic Four' is totally unlike the characters and storyline we know: Reed is a boneless jelly-man who becomes an evil mastermind; Sue married Ben; Johnny sheds his skin periodically and hates being on the team; and Dr. Doom is a small-timer with cloven hooves and acid blood like in Alien.

It's stupidity all around, and I'll call it now: It will be a bad, bad movie. Like, Green Lantern levels of powerful bad. I wish they'd left it alone.
