NIC NACS: Edgar Wright On MAN OF STEEL Debate; New THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Banner

You sure that's not a fan made banner Khan? I mean not hating but it looks like the same design from the mag, with a white background, and the title inserted.

Also make this into 2 articles instead of 2 in 1. Just some advice.

The new suit reminds me a lot of the Raimi one, but there's something about it that's so comical, and fun and it just screams Spider-Man. Especially in that pose! This movie seems like it will be less dark than the first and morel like The raimi films if they took themselves more seriously.

Edgar Wright has it, er, right. Man of Steel is a different interpretation, and should be accepted as such. Smallville was different. Lois and Clark was different. The Chris Reeve movies were different. The George Reeves TV show was different. Some have more changes than others and reflect the times that they are made.

Mildly confusing thing, but when you have the bit starting with "Edgar Wright On MAN OF STEEL", he's actually talking about Antman, and then brings Man Of Steel up. At first I thought he was talking about Man Of Steel immediately, since that's how you set it up. So referring to superman as a lesser known character was weird.

Again, just mild confusion. It took me a couple sentences to figure it out.

You mean Man of Steel shouldn't have been another Donner/Reeve rehash!?

Glad Edgar Wright gets it!

Some should learn how to write and break down topics properly concerning articles instead of judging those who regularly do well and make the main page...

just reading this makes me want to watch Hot Fuzz.

Holy shit, a man who thinks super heroes don't need to just be straight up copy and pasted from the comics into movie form and that you can actually gasp CHANGE things about them as long as it works well?! Holy shit, my faith in humanity and the comic book community is restored, we actually have a comic book reader who isn't some purist douche bag who just want panel for panel translations of comics on the big screen!

How could Jor-El beat up GENERAL Zod when Jor-EL was built to be a scientist?

totally get where Edgar Wright is coming from. With Superman there were so many people judging in it on how it fit in with their perception of superman as opposed to the actual film itself which is actually really good, it just outside my top 3 CBM (TDK, Avengers and spiderman 2 in that order).


If you take Iron man for example no one (im talking critics not us) said anything about the villain in iron man 2 basically being a cross between whiplash and Crimson dynamo because quite frankly they didnt know. However imagine if you had a batman villain with Scarecrow crossed with the riddler? It would not go under the radar.

With man of steel what was really clear was that alot of critics judged it based on how well it fit in with their perception of superman, this is only possible because superman is such a well know iconic character however the problem with the critics who reckon they know superman is that they really dont and most of these critics perception is formed based almost entirely on the richard donner movies and no more than a handful of comics. They actually dont know the character and have not followed the many stories about him, yet so many of them were adamant about their views on who and what superman is.


You simply do not get this with lesser known character, AnT man could be a complete boy scout or he could be brooding and deep or he could be a witty smartass (all these are various personalities superman has had in comics but one guess which one you think the critics will claim he always is) and none of the "expert" critics would be able to cite deviation from source material because they simply do not know otherwise.

in that respect I guess that is the advantage of using a lesser know character because you are allowed the freedom to make creative decisions that allow for a better translation to the medium of cinema without the fear of people noticing or disputing the changes instead they will focus on the quality of the film on its own.

MR edgar wright you just gained some respect from me.

This guy gets it.

So, they're calling it "The Amazing Spider-Man 2"......?

@DrMindbender

You didn't attack darkmetal's argument, just him or her personally. "Complete nonsense spouting" without substantiating any reason or anything constructive at all for why that is and basically saying if darkmetal didn't like the construction of Man of Steel's story then it's above him or her. Then bringing in Marvel versus DC and your point of view on the matter when darkmetal not only didn't personally attack anyone let alone any fans of Man of Steel but never stated a word about either company. What was that about?
