San Diego Comic Con (revisit) plus leaked Spider-man 2 trailer
Hello once again Comic Fans! Since I posted about San Diego Comic Con last time a lot of things have developed. Zack Snyder announced Batman will be in the next Superman movie and even flirting with the idea it maybe based on Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns. I'm doubting how much this is actually going to happen due to the idea that it is a sequel to Superman and that it will precede a Justice League movie. Dark Knight Returns takes place when Bruce Wayne is in his 60's. I could talk all day about this.
The other thing that was announced was that is the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie Thanos will appear! along with Nebula, Ronan, Gamora, and the Galactic Space Empire known as the Kree! Also Glenn Close to play the leader Nova Prime head of the Nova Corps! This implies that we may see Nova and Captain Marvel. I say implies because it's not certain but it definitely leaves room for the possibility and if the scale of the movie is large enough it may also lead into future solo movies of each of these characters. I'm totally looking forward to this movie. The scope of the movie and how it may relate to previous events in Avengers is exciting!
The next thing discussed at San Diego Comic Con is Spiderman 2 and the first trailer was shown, over four minutes of footage. This was leaked and posted to Youtube for a minute and I saw before it was taken down. I will say this, it will not disappoint. I think Electro will be larger then life and Andrew Garfield is spot on with his delivery of Spiderman. It's to early to speculate anything good or bad and I don't want to taint this film with any expectations, actually the only thin I ask for is them to complete the film and present it (I'm looking at you Conan: Red Nails)!

There have been rumors that Fantastic Four may appear in the next Spiderman movie but I wouldn't give those to much credit. Sony doesn't have the rights to too many Marvel characters adn so it would be difficult for them to do a crossover film at the scope of what Disney and 20th Century Fox are doing, but it's a fun thought if they do. Another Fantastic Four movie should be on the way with a release date of March 6, 2015 according to IMDB. Filming in Louisiana should begin in September with Josh Trank Directing (Chronicle) but only rumors for casting of characters. I'm watching this one because I have history with the Fantastic Four and hope for the best! I liked the originals and they fell into what I expected from Hollywood so I wasn't really disappointed but I did expect more from Dr. Doom (he was a bit cheesy), but I still had a good time. If you are a Fantastic Four fan then check out the anime, even if you are not a fan of anime you will definitely not be disappointed.
How We Perceive Film, TV, Comics, Video Games, Etc. Everyone has developed different expectations when it comes to comic book based movies. Some are interested in a 'True-to-the-comic' depiction of the characters or in some cases the plot (if it is derived from a particular arc). Others like to alter the characters or plot to make it fit into a general familiarity of the human condition more or less stripping them of the nuances found in the comics over the years, but sometimes necessary to condense the character down in order for it to fit into a film lasting only a couple of hours. Some care more about the film and how it is presented and how it fits into the classic understanding of film. Finally, there is another group more interested in taking the content and turning it into a film that challenges the boundaries and the average understanding of films, sometimes this doesn't sit well with general audiences until it develops a regular audience, examples; Tim Burton,...
Chicago Comic Con So, I tried to make a post on Friday before I left for Chicago Comic Con, but the internet went down. It's probably better because I was only going to later post what happened later. Everything started out alright until we got to Chicago. THE TRAFFIC WAS TERRIBLE! We left early in the hopes of get to the center early and we sat in traffic for an hour and maybe moved 5 miles at best! Moral of the Story: Leave Early! Know your route and if you can if there is any construction. Now that we are past that. once We go there we saw the usually suspects of Awesome Cos-players! We made our way around the convention center when I noticed some images by Frank Frazetta that were printed to about 24 X 36in poster sized pictures. After speaking to one of the guys for a bit he mentioned that Robert Rodriguez a friend and fan of Frank Frazetta photographed the paintings in order to help raise the funds for a gallery dedicated to Frank Frazetta that would display his worl...
The Wolverine It's a difficult task to condense over thirty years of a characters history and experiences down to a two hour film. Some of the best moments of the character gets glazed over, connections between character and reader also lost in translation. Arguably Wolverines best moments are in the comics and not in the films, but an attempt has been made to connect the audience to the character that is Wolverine. A character that is renown for his savagery in battle and his haphazard disregard for rules, authority, or the chain of command. He's the best at what he does and he does it the best when left alone. The comics deal with his issues and like most comics circulate around the same character defects over and over. For a reader like me that wants to see his characters develop, get past there defects and develop to their potential it becomes difficult to see this recycling in comics, but it happens. The movies are some what forced to it differently. If a character d...
