We all agree that the movie versions are better than the default white-spider suit from the game though, right? I actually like the suit in the game. |

For a minute there I thought you were dissing the Spider-Gwen suit, which is awesome.

It’s a weird picture, that. If someone told me it was CGI then I would totally believe them. Edit: thinking about it, aren’t their costumes CGI in the films..? So maybe that’s why it looks odd. Its so strange that the MCU CGIs their clothes on I mean to be fair, Sony was doing back in the Tobey Spideys. And it was even more jarring then, because CG wasn't as good as it looks now, so rather than fooling the viewer like old britesparc here, it just looked like a CG render for a PS2 FMV. |

In the case of RDJ, he doesn’t have to wear ungainly hot armour suit all day. |

I think if they hadn’t given you a perfect original suit in the prologue I’d have been fine with it but since I had the classic from the off and its so well done I just switched straight back as soon as I had the option. |

I did too. I unlocked all the extra suits too but never used them. I think besides the original comic suit, the only suit I swapped to was the Civil War Tom Holland suit when they released that in an update.
Insomniac suit is actually fine but it feels wrong with the white spider. WRONG.

I didn't like the classic suit, looked a bit off really and this is coming from a big Spiderman fan. Now, the Miles Morales classic suit is great.

Apparently, in the Avengers films, all of Mark Ruffalo's Hulk scenes had his performance extensively touched up with CGI.

I remember the first time I watched Spider-Man, in the cinema back in 2002, I couldn't work out why the scene where he drops from the ceiling and pulls off his mask looked so weird and a bit wrong. I don't think it was till I was rewatching the DVDs years later when it occurred to me it's because he's essentially a floating head on a CG body, and they just couldn't do a mask removal the way it happens in the comics (go back and watch the trilogy to see how they get around the fact he can't actually put his mask on or off). |

I think it's amazing that we've come so far that actors can look like they're wearing clothes now.

Slightly off-topic, but I follow a few VFX people on Twitter, and there's this account going through every single shot in the Star Wars films. The effects bods who worked on the prequels are pointing out when the actors were real and when they were digital (or a combo). I know people like to slag off the effects in the prequels but, twenty years later, there really are a lot of fake humans in those films that i absolutely thought were real.

It seems all the Marvel Netflix shows are coming to D+ at least in Canada well when they end on Netflix. Cant see why we wont get them as well on Stars.

All of Matrix Reloaded had Neo in the terrible coat just so they could CGI him in the flying bits.

Having a quick search on Disney+ this morning, I've just noticed that they don't have the 2003 Daredevil film. That was a Fox affair so I guess they must own it now. If they're happy putting all the rubbish X-Men and FF movies up, they should include Daredevil. Especially as I've never seen the supposedly much-improved director's cut.

It's much improved, but don't get your hopes up of it being great or anything. It doesn't bring it up over a 7/10, and a lot of the flaws are still there.

That film was bobbins for many many reasons, I still enjoy the fact that Colin Farrell knew exactly what kind of film he was in and absolutely chewed the scenery.

The Netflix shows have been confirmed for Disney+ on March 16th. I can resume my very slow trawl through them.

Yeah this, when the directors cut came out it was a much better version, but the film has dated a lot now. If you can get past the dodgy cgi, cringe scenes and peak affleck there is good film underneath the shite. |

I remember really enjoying Daredevil when it came out, although my memory of it is that it's absolutely super-millennial. I'm not sure if this is true, but is it not full of sub-Matrix wire-fu, unconvincing digital doubles, and about seven Evanescene tracks? |

I remember thinking it was very similar to Spiderman 1, but just slightly not as good in every department.
I do kinda like it though.

So the chronological run through is going ok. Halfway through Incredible Hulk currently. I ended up buying it from scamazon for £7 as no fucker is streaming it. This and Thor 2 are probably my least viewed MCU films, this because Mrs Hermit thinks it's shit and Thor 2 because it is shit. I'm glad that they replaced Norton with Ruffalo for the later films because he is just awful in this. I don't know whether it's because he's trying to channel the original Bruce Banner from the tv series or what, but he's not convincing and totally lacking in any sort of charisma.

Norton is a terrific actor but I can't remember seeing him in a film where he came across as likeable.
Actually, thinking about it, he was really good at projecting innocence and vulnerability in that courtroom drama he did with Richard Gere decades ago; Primal Fear? Anyway, it was great.
I guess even then though he's not being your typical heroic lead. Which is probably why they thought he'd be good for Banner.

I like the Norton film and Norton in it but even in Phase 1 its distinctly not an MCU film.
I also can’t imagine pulling off Banner like Ruffalo did as part of the ensemble.

People were talking in the other thread about Snipes apparently being an ass on the Blade 3 set. I think there were stories at the time about Norton also being an ass, going as far as bringing in his own writers and producers to rewrite the whole film to his liking. FWIW, I did end up liking it, much more than I expected, but it's no surprise they didn't bring him back.

He was rewriting it himself as he is a pretty good writer. Most of the talk around him being difficult seemed to be that he had far higher expectations for the film than most of the others working on it and then he didn’t like marvel trying to dumb it down again in their final cut.
He didn’t help himself by keeping quiet while getting slagged off in the press.

Ed Norton is pretty notorious for taking over films he’s in. Even though it’s a great film, the production of American History X is just crazy, even if Tony Kaye does come out of it batshit insane.

Yeah, Norton is a serious talent, but he does have a history of wanting to do things his way. This can work wonders but it can really rub people up the wrong way, and I don't think he'd have been happy being a cog in the Marvel machine.
I also don't think it's really fair to say Marvel were trying to dumb down Incredible Hulk or had low expectations. That was a passion project for Louis Leterrier, even if obviously it didnt turn out particularly great.
