its supposed to be zorro, because the subliminal influence is to become a masked vigilante fighting against a corrupt system and the criminals it enables to thrive.
it being excalibur the influence would be, I dunno, getting cucked by robin I don't

If this scene didn't get your dick hard when you first saw Excalibur you might be dead.

Fantastic Four looks... Pretty good? from the teaser trailer.

Characters people might recognise, a not shit looking Thing and they didn't let slip how goofy stretching is gonna look on screen, plus they didn't cop out on Galactus being an angry cloud or whatever.

I think the most interesting thing is how elegantly they're going to fold it into the main MCU.
Hopefully not a post credits scene of America Chavez going "Reed, I'd like to talk to you about my ALL NEW ALL DIFFERENT Avengers Initiative"

Purely speculative. Based all this multiverse bullshit, set in a futuristic 1960s, and Galactus already showing up. 

This is all some alternative universe to the marvel movies. John Malkovich is the main bad guy. Like mole man or somebody like that. Silver Surfer is around to foreshadow Galactus. But unlike Mortal Kombat 1995 ending on a cliffhanger with Shao Kahn, Galactus does arrive and devours their Earth. They can’t stop him. Presumably Robert Downey Jr’s Doctor Doom is the one who saves them and brings them to the main movie universe. 

Galactus is put aside for the next couple Avengers movies with Doctor Doom as the bad guy. Presumably it ends with a DC Crisis type deal with the multiverse dead. People seem sick of it already. Then in like five years, Silver Surfer shows up again and they’re aware he’s a precursor to Galactus. Now they have a chance to stop him with allies like X-men and Avengers and Piccolo and all those guys.

But then in ten years, they’ll use an AI actor to bring back Kang without worrying about the actor’s history. Somehow the AI also manages to break up a fight between two kids at a junior high school and it’s conveniently caught on camera.

Thunderbolts seems to have the same conceptual problem that prefixless suicide squad (not Definite Article suicide squad which is a better film, and also mostly not the comics thunderbolts or suicide squads) in that its basically a slightly fancier black ops team in terms of skill sets (and at least adjectiveless suicide squad had one big hitter in Pyro or whatever hes called).

Sure, you could probably destabilise a regime real fucking good with people who are effective killers, but you're proper fucked versus schizoid evil superman.

Which I guess is going to be the point of the film in rebuilding the avengers initiative with people who have big boy super powers.

Reading up on this. Yeah. Pretty much made in reaction to Suicide Squad’s success. They’ve been trying since then and kept going through attempts and iterations. I don’t know who Elaine is here but they had William Hurt as the guy and Daniel Bruhl and kept trying to make it happen. Hollywood is nothing if not original.

The people behind the movie, from director to writers, were behind that Netflix show Beef. Didn’t see it. Heard people say good things. Korean actor from that show was meant to play Sentry, replaced by Bob from Top Gun 2. Really diverse cast in this one.

I'm actually fascinated less that they'd make a similar movie than how completely similar the trailer is in construction. All the same beats, all the same kind of language, the music choices, only a vague hint of the villain, etc.

Thunderbolts are at least in the comics a mildly distinct thing and it's like the trailer is trying to assure you that, no, no, don't worry, it's Suicide Squad in the MCU.

Its weird because I thought adjectiveless suicide squad was a big flop, and clearly a shit ton of executive meddling to make it more like big hit GOTG, when the mcu already has GOTG.

Beef was really good (you should watch it) but that doesn't mean anything - Sam Raimi made Doctor Strange 2, which was a huge fucking mess.

Thunderbolts would have been way better if they'd split the difference between the trick the OG Thunderbolts pulled (which you can't really do in Film because when youre casting all your all new never seen before heroes the fact that they're all actors who've played villains in the MCU is a huge fucking giveaway) and the Dark Avengers (which is almost the same trick, but the audience is in on it, and its the general in universe public who are unaware) and just said New Hulk played by Tim Roth, New Iron Man played by Sam Rockwell, New Falcon played by Michael Keaton, New Doctor Strange played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, new Thor played by Karl Urban, and featuring the voice of James Spader as New Jarvis or whatever.

Then you set the scene for the actual new avengers to play pick up the pieces of the huge fucking mess those guys make and get to introduce themselves as characters you might give enough of a shit about to go watch a movie about them in the meantime, because sorry RiRi "Ironheart" Williams, you're not carrying a summer blockbuster.

Went to a special valentines screening of Wild at heart, which I’ve never seen before. It was introduced by the guy who runs the cinema who dresses up like David lynch on a daily basis. He gave a speech about how he went to the big boi diner to bring treats back for everyone. 

Never saw the film before for some reason but it was a banger, enjoyed much, 8/10.
