Sure, but it'd also cut down on fun.

Strangely I feel that a lot of the blame for X3 sucking so much lands on Bryan Singer for abandoning the X-Men to do a mediocre Superman movie. If he had just stayed in that groove, I doubt it would have turned out the way it did.
The severed arm perfectly acquitted itself, because of the simplicity of its wishes and its total lack of doubt.
I watched a bunch of MCU over the weekend. Two Thor movies, Two Avenger movies and Ant-man. I noticed something in the post credit scene in Avengers.
Obviously everyone here knows it's where Thanos is first introduced. The guy that's talking to him, is talking about the humans and how they can't be controlled and how resilient they are blah blah blah. But the last line he says is interesting... “To challenge them is to court death”- That's when Thanos turns around and smiles.
I never noticed this before, but that's alluding to the comics where Thanos was literally courting death. He wanted death (the character) to love him.
Makes me wonder if this is really the path they are going down with Infinity War. And whether they'll just use Hela as the replacement for Death.
I feel there must have been a discussion about that in the Avengers thread. I'm not gonna go looking for it, though.

I'm reading the whole thread now.
This was the extent of the discussion...

We did it folks. We found the first international trailer that is WORSE than the US trailer.
So, Tom Hardy is Venom.

Is Venom part of the MCU or outside? I hope outside.
I'm pretty sure it's outside, so much so that Spider-Man isn't even going to be involved. Though I'd personally still love for Sony to just say fuck it and do their own Spider-Man anyways, even with Marvel doing their thing in the MCU.Quoting Ezee E (view post)
Perfect.Quoting TGM (view post)
Now to await writer / director.
It's Ruben Fleischer.

The Fringe experience is a good sign. It's one of the few series that has a dismal debut season and recovers nicely through seasons 2 3 and 4.Quoting Henry Gale (view post)
New Homecoming poster has to be seen to be believed.

I think the best part is how one of the nameless henchmen gets on a freaking poster.
EDIT: Or not. There are reports that said henchmen is Logan Marshall Green, who is playing...one of two versions of Shocker (?), with Bokeem Woodbine being the other. Da hell?
