ready for Savage Avengers?

Avengers: Endgame spoilers.  

@Angrybrony
 
Isn’t there one in production right now?

@Jarkes  
maybe?

@Angrybrony
 
I think there is. Bryan Singer was originally attached as director, but as far as I know he isn’t anymore (even though the CEO of the company distributing the film initially tried to keep him on).

Bryan Singer Red Sonja remake was being made but it got shelved after the sex scandal.

@Angrybrony
 
Ah. So they haven’t found a replacement director yet?

@Jarkes  
looks it.

@Scrabbleman  
Darkness replaced Marvel for movie, sound interesting.

Endgame has officially hit Australian and Southeast Asian cinemas (Its April 24 there already)

@Background Pony #652D  
But I’m not living there anymore…

Watching reaction videos to episode 6 of gen:lock is glorious,

And once Endgame mercifully comes and goes we’ll finally be getting to good movies this year after several disappointments.
 
Please let Godzilla be good.

@Background Pony #6D84  
this guy is trying way to hard.

@Background Pony #6D84
 
Yeah.
 
Like Far From Home.

Endgame was amazing ! Although I question the choice of having Gotti kill thanos while Ocean to Ocean plays in the background and having the mid credits scene be pitbull in a shower

@Commune  
What?

Alan Moore may be rightfully pissed at his adaptations but I don’t think any of them are close to “kick-ass” levels of failing to adapt the original  
For all I know the Kick Ass movie could be a fun movie but just from the surface, the comic and the movie are radically different

@Commune
 
I mean, from what I understand the Kick-Ass comic was pretty terrible and the movie was much better.

@Jarkes  
Well, it was done by the same guy who did ‘The Unfunnies’. And who apparently stuck some really creepy sexual material into a few issues of Spider-Man. Like presenting Aunt May in the classic pose used by Mary Jane when she appeared and using the same line: “Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot!”

Mark Millar was also the main writer of the original Civil War comic. He… kind of sucks.

@Jarkes  
Millar was a problem with Marvel Civil War, maybe the biggest one, but to be honest he wasn’t alone there. It seemed like everyone on their staff was either out to sabotage it or just plain didn’t care.

@Background Pony #B535
 
What I usually hear is that the four writers for it all had completely different ideas on just who was “right” in the conflict. It was the ones in favor of the Anti-Registration side that portrayed Iron Man so badly in particular.

@Background Pony #B535
 
It’s less that and more apparently there was no central conceit made for the event. All their writers were just kinda given free reign with little organization between them, so characters and the SHA was changed to whatever whim whatever writer wanted in any given issue.
