Marvel Cinematic Universe

I doubt they’d tease Blade in a PG movie then make his movie R.

I also think the success of Deadpool 3 will have an impact on Disney’s willingness to R with other appropriate
properties, but it will be a hard sell. I can’t see Daredevil or Punisher being remotely as good under Disney as the Netflix stuff. Look at how fucked Kingpin was in Hawkeye.

The Batman (as in the film) is pretty much the same tone as the Netflix series and that's a PG-13 in the States, so they probably could do something that felt tougher and grittier. It wouldn't quite be the Punisher's prison fight from Daredevil 2, but if they wanted to they could keep it rougher.

I think the problem they have is if they want these characters knocking around with each other, they probably don't want to segment their audience too much by having characters and stories that Little Johnny in his Iron Man pyjamas can't go see.

There's quite a lot of violence in Deadpool. Though it is mainly CG.
And the humor means that the tone is very different to the netflix ones.

But Dark Knight and the new Batman seem more tonally close to the netflix ones, even though they don't generally show the violence. 

He’d be fine in the normal Marvel stuff. The ’complexity’ doesn’t seem that much of an issue. Even the violence could be toned down considerably without it making the show worse.

I just rewatched Iron Man 2 and after 10 mins I was going to post something pithy about Elon Musk's ambitions. I figured it was 12 years old and he must have seen it, became inspired etc.

AND AS IF BY MAGIC "Mr Musk" showed up in a cameo.

Yeah, the first series is easily, easily the best Punisher done on-screen. Although I have a soft spot for Warzone.

It's a shame, as Tom Jane could've been in a much better Punisher film. He was pretty good casting.

Jon Bernthal though is pitch perfect.




They've been talking up how violent Moon Knight will be. The (more recent) comics are infamously gruesome. It won't go there, but they've compared the fight scenes to Netflix Daredevil levels of kinetics.

Imagine if they did a Punisher No Way Home with Dolph Lungren (sp?) Thomas Jane, Guy From Rome, and Netflix Guy.

Meme with them pointing guns at each other.

Says him but I’ve seen every MCU movie and I’ve seen a bare lady so there

Only the adult Nintendo games like Metroid, mind. None of that kiddy shit.

Some of my favourite novels are children's books, stuff by Robert C. O'Brien or Richard Adams, for example. It all comes down to if it's cynical trash that's been condescendingly designed to appeal to a market share, or if the themes are genuinely expressed, no matter how simple the prose.

To be snarky about it (and a tired comparison), it's why Philip Pullman shits all over J K Rowling.

My favourite fictional thing in the world is Transformers, a cartoon and a comic based on a toy, so I never criticise people for their interests. Even fans of Michael MacIntyre.

But this really is a very childish argument. Thought we'd moved past it really.

This movie, I don't want to see.

And fuck that journo and his lazy metaphor. My cat liker superhero movies and I vastly prefer her opinion to his.

Anyone who has to proclaim how grown up they are and boasts about being in a relationship automatically comes across as a bit desperate and virginy.

Well, it's that but also by proclaiming you're in a relationship you're trying to insinuate that you're superior to those who aren't and that anyone who isn't has something wrong with them.
