Superhero film news, 6/25/16
- Deadpool appears in X-Men: Apocalypse trailer in Japan
Makes sense considering how big Deadpool was in the Box Office. People want more Deadpool.
- Deadpool 2 likely to film early 2017
- Kevin Conroy appeared confident with his interview with Jessica Smith for the Killing Joke. He wished he would never lose it.
More Batgirl.
He wanted to do a musical.
- 16.8 Million ID4 2 Friday
I don't know why everyone expected a franchise with only one movie to make $100 million on the first week. Luckily it only has a budget of $168 million.
- Spider-Man Homecoming crew wants to make Silver Sable movie.
I sorta don't get the point of that when Marvel works with Sony and basically does everything anyway. They don't have one movie yet, and there was no Silver Sable element in Civil War, so what was the point?

Teenage Mutant NInja Turtles 2 gripe second time I watch
Before everyone was like TMNT 2. Sure, it's not as bad as TMNT 3, but definitely not as good as TMNT 1.
That friggin babies scene with Shredder and the mutants really ruined it for me. It was obviously one or those producers appeal to kids. And although I didn't get that TMNT 1 was a dark film, I still never really laughed at that scene and absolutely hated it as an adult. Bad move by the crew.

The Pros and Cons of the Summers in X-Men Apocalypse (third viewing)
Pro:
They're introduced.
They don't ruin the story.
They don't take too much time up in the story for its main characters: Xavier, Magneto and Mystique.
Scott and Jean like each other. Simple. Let's not get into it.
Alex dies. Scott reacts.
Scott vs Storm leaders homage to comics.
Jean defeats Apocalypse, setting up the next film, adding some curiosity to her character.
Con:
The character usage is way worse than any Avengers film other than the first one and I'm including the overrated Civil War film.
Jean defeating Apocalypse makes no sense since she's barely introduced, barely in the franchise, barely has her powers.
Jean fighting Psylocke would've added a bit since they're both psychics.

The Batman Season 1 Episode 1 opening scene directing critcisim
It starts off with a shot of a building looking like that done by the Godzilla/Men In Black cartoon creators.
The original Paul Dini Batman was great, cuz everything was dark and you couldn't see stuff clearly.
The roll over to the shot of Batman's shadow, showing where is plainly, and even drawing your attention to it with the camera movement, a camera movement in a digital animated work mind you.
Then they pan through from statues, before shooting a batarang, with the camera going back to the batarang, without the batarang surprising or even giving a scare.
It sorta reminds me of going for 90s Spider-Man to Spectacular in terms of storytelling.
It may even be a 1920s pulp direction.
Random ass criminals jump in the air like superheroes.
Cartoony sound effects, but made darker than like 60s Batman.
This may also have a TMNT 00s feeling too.
The voice acting is really good though.
I like the shot of Batman fighting in the darkness with occassional light showing up. Good way to cheapen the budget too, without making it obvious. Made it look cooler even.
Again, I didn't see it as something that could've been played off as Star Wars, although this was inspired by pulps obviously.
The criminal makes a joke to splitting the take with Batman. Why should we care that this criminal is given a take? Despite being a main character in the Batman comics, there is no development for his character in this opening minute of this episode.
Kung fu sequence is cut short, instead giving us this water tower in a muddy green screen sky.
Also note, if you don't notice this stuff, it's fine. But if you hate this show, you'll love what I'm saying.
You see Batman's foot when he shows up.

Captain America: Civil War review
Iron Man does a presentation.
Thunderbolt Ross discusses with the Avengers.
Peggy Carter has passed on.
An African leader is assassinated.
People claim Bucky is behind this.
Capt saves Bucky. I wonder if it's developed. I wonder if Slovoka is described properly.
Scarlet Witch and Vision discuss their roles as villains.
Black Panther is done well.
But Spider-Man is bleh. He comes in way too late in the movie. Makes fun of
Ant Man has no purpose other than a cameo. They could've used his whole criminal background.
He's brought in too late too.
At least he sides with Capt.
Hawkeye brainwashed.
Black Witch vs Hawkeye
Scarlet Witch starts as an emo US teen.
Then Scarlet Witch dresses up anyway.
Scarlet Witch vs Vision? Tony Stark I guess.
I sorta prefer even really bad 2000s Marvel Bucky over the stuff they do with him post-First Avenger.
They turned him way too quick without ever giving any hints as to Capt believing that Bucky was anything other than a cool guy who stood up for him. I never really saw an acting moment where the two connected and instead sorta just saw Bucky as a supporting character.
Overall, still way better than Batman v Superman, although the cameos in that film were way exaagerated compared to the absolute failures in this film.
