Ha... I was on another board, and clicked on the WF tab instead of the tab for the other board, and thought I was still on the other board and went to post the trailer thinking I was on the other board still.
Looks like pretty standard action movie stuff to me. Definitely worth a look but not anywhere near the trailer level of "Chewie, we're home." Why do so many people swallow everything that Marvel shits out?
BTW, is it just a coincidence that Batman v. Superman and Captain America: Civil War both explore the problems of super-beings wreaking havoc on normal society? Or are we looking at another Red Planet vs. Mission to Mars, Deep Impact vs. Armageddon, Leviathan vs. Deep Star Six, etc., etc., etc. Bleh.
Both of these films are coming about in a period where deconstruction of the superhero mythology has become an ongoing theme. 50 years ago, superheroes were portrayed as unquestionably positive for mankind, but the modern era invites criticism of the concept of superheroism and explores the negative aspects that super-powered persons could have for mankind. Someone like Batman would have to be a bit mentally ill, angry, obsessive, and sadistic. Someone like Superman might apply his power toward achieving his own moral vision, and thus become a tyrant. This makes the characters more interesting as it gives them complexities that exist in real life.
It's an age of negativity But remind me again why this isn't AVENGERS 3? I mean, all there, aren't they.
The original superhero story "Gladiator", Hugo Danner toys with the idea of essentially becoming Magneto toward the end.
I also think that Civil War is exploring the fallout from 9/11, the Patriot Act and how we treat terrorists. There are plenty of people who wanted to see Bin Laden dead, but not a whole lot who gave a shit if he got a trial. Cap. seems to be against the concept of executing Bucky without a trial. I don't understand why Spidey would take Ton's side though? I like the trailer though. Go team Cap!
The eyes and spider at too small and I don't see the need for the black stripes, but overall I like it.
And I thought that was pretty damn cool. It gives Spidey's face some expression. Is it realistic? No. But it's a good "fake" that adds a lot.
If they're mirroring the comics, Spidey originally buys Tony's spiel because of his own belief in "with great power comes great responsibility". The comic storyline had a horrific loss of schoolkids' lives because a bunch of heroes went in half-cocked (seemingly, it later transpired one of the villains had been given a power-up specifically to spark this kind of incident) and Spidey - no stranger to bad press and at this point in Tony's debt for helping him work through a weird scenario where his Spider DNA became dominant - chose to go public with his identity to help Tony's campaign. Later though, seeing Tony going too far, he switched sides to Cap's team (he might not have, just abandoned the fight, but Tony sent two villains after him who damn near killed him).
The eyes changing is more like CGI for CGI's sake, isn't it. I have never seen the 'new duology' but I know th Sam Raimi trilogy. I mean ferchrissakes, he's in a costume he made himself and that goes VERY well with the character. Techin' him up just isn't right. But I do like his entrance in the trailer.
Well, see, in the comics and cartoons, the eyes could move by cartoon magic so they could give his face expression. Guess they figured "if Deadpool can do it...".
They could use that sound to great effect. Like if someone says something that surprises him, his eyes could get really big and that sound could make a "surprised" noise.
I caught that too. See below what I made of it. As I mentioned above, I caught the noise. I figured before he's introduced by Tony, Tony spiffed his suit up a bit. Hence the tech beyond what a kid could probably do.
also possibly they operate to enhance vision when narrowed or some shit, but that's so much fanwank that will likely never be addressed on screen
