Writing a Blade script isn't difficult, unless you're trying to cram in a bunch of woke DEI girlboss shit, and fuck, even the third shitty Blade movie had some girlbossing with Jessica Beil which wasn't too bad (because she was hot and not a bitch).

Act 1: Blade is a badass who looks cool as fuck as he kills a shit ton of vampires.
Act 2: Blade discovers with the help of side character that local vampire asshole has evil plan to do evil shit, make super vamps or convert a bunch or orphans or whatever heinous shit. Doesn't really matter as long as its evil and plausable.
Act 3: Blade stops the evil villain vampire and his asshole plans by being a total badass, optional sacrificial heroism of side character to help Blade get his sword back or whatever. Blade says some shit about the job not being done, always more bad vampires to kill.

Done. Hire some of the guys that did the Raid or Dredd to film all the action scenes, get some trainers to inject your nigger lead with steroids, and find some hot chicks that don't mind wearing nothing but fake blood. Sleep on a bed of money.

It's really weird because Blade was the first huge Marvel movie, so you'd think a new Blade movie would be a slam dunk.
 
The more I read about Secret Wars the more I hope they'll toss in bits from the tie ins, but I dread how badly they'd fuck them up.

The Secret War setup with God Doom was pretty simple: chunks of alternate earths were sewn together with the most powerful characters in those areas acting as his local governors, and one such tie in was Squadron Sinister.

It had a version of the original Squadron annexing and killing most of their neighboring leaders under Dooms' nose until one of his Thor police showed up, got himself killed, and internal strife lead to Nighthawk taking over the group (not really, he killed or orchestrated the murder of other members in order to be the last man standing), and eventually Doom sentenced him to death for all the transgressions, but goddamn was it a fun read for someone that likes the older stuff Marvel barely uses anymore. It had multiple versions of the Squadron, Doctor Zero and St George from the epic line, the fearsome four, and members of the New Universe. Loved the art. Watching a version of the original bad guy Squadron kill JMS' 2000 reboots was a bit underwhelming and quick, but it adheres to that rule I love where older versions of something are typically more powerful than the later iterations.

I hope to see something like that in the movie, but I worry they'd simply make a mess of it. Probably get Cavill to play Hyperion, give him a 3 second cameo, and move on. We may not even get a version of Captain America riding a Tyrannosaurus or Thunderbolt Ross half-terminatored in an arena!

Honestly, given how they said that it will be a soft reboot of the universe, I wonder if, come Avengers 6, they are gonna pull an Ultimatum on the existing cast.

All the claims of the Multiverse Saga being aimless are gonna be proven wrong when Disney reveals it was all leading up to them showing Michelle Pfeiffer being eating by a morbidly obese man on the big screen.
 
Has this been posted yet. I just saw it and it made me laugh but I'm basically a boomer now so I saw it on Facebook

Can someone explain why Marvel and DC movies (like Joker 2) don't have scripts anymore? It sounds like complete madness to make a movie that costs hundreds of millions without a script.

From what I've seen from Marvel and Sony recently, I genuinely believe they shoot a bunch of different variations on a story, assemble it into a handful of trailers with starkly different tones, see which ones people respond to, and then compile a movie that matches the tone of whichever trailer was received least-poorly, and/or whatever narrative is most applicable to current events (read: whatever makes the best propaganda). I am 100% positive that's what they did with Thunderbolts and Captain Falcon, and about 65% sure that's what they did with Kraven. These movies are being written in the editing room.
 
Ok, some context:

Alan Cumming did say that he had filmed scenes fighting Mr. Fantastic, which had leaded to some speculations of what the movie is gonna be about (there is some speculations of an incursion to the X-Mansion looking for Monica, causing a fight between the mutants and one of the Avengers team. This fits with Tatum being seen with Hemsworth and Liu and two of the F4. Marsden also took a pic with Liu in what looks like training).

In a recent interview, Cumming said him saying this broke the internet, but now he's not sure if he was correct because everything is secret now and he's filming in isolation, with green screen, etc.

So, there is a chance that he's just now trying to not leak more info and saying he doesn't know things so people stop speculations.

We had a rumor of two actors fighting and there was a mention of an offering to film their scenes apart and then mix them to keep things in peace, which indicates to me that this ain't a common occurrence and that some interaction is still needed between actors. They also said that filming things apart could be more expensive. Again, it's cheaper to film some scenes together.

The ones that are likely filmed in isolation are the action scenes. If you remember Alan's big scene in X2, that was a combination of a stunt actor and then his face added in post production. This is nothing new for scenes like this, specially for characters needing a lot of FX like Nightcrawler or Reed.

To end, his words have been taken in a negative context, like he's mad about it, but he's also said he's having fun filming this, more than X2 because Singer was a total ass.

Because Special Effects take a lot of time (since Disney actually got blacklisted by American companies for not paying enough and having unreasonable deadlines), Disney thinks of several key fights and then ask the most talented of pajeets to animate them, a process that takes literal years, in the meantime they write the script based on those scenes and then jigsaw it together, reshooting based on screening the half done result to an example audience, usually followed by extensive reshooting of scenes until they give up and throw that shit into the cinema.
 
Armin, The Biggest MCU shill & host comicbookcast2 essentially got cucked by Rocky, the Second Mighty Morphin Red Ranger. She gave him his number & only got mad when he was talking to another costhot.

They wanted to push him aside for his daughter and make him the side character of his first movie.

Damn, not even Jason. That's like getting cucked by Curly Joe instead of Curly.

Having a script doesn't even guarantee they won't lose the money anyway. Most MCU movies are repeatedly reshot now, and back in the day Rogue One had to bring in a new director to reshoot a third of the movie while Solo had to be reshot pretty much entirely, though those last two could also be the fault of the empty pantsuit running Lucasfilm who apparently doesn't look at any of the shit she's supposedly overseeing until they're basically finished.

They had to pretend it didn't exist so Black Panther could be the 'first' Marvel movie with a black lead.

It was also directed by a w-w-white man which means it doesn't really count.

Wasn't that because lorde and Miller essentially made the movie into a goofball comedy?

They were handed the shit script and realized it will be a shit movie with their names and reputations attached to it if they had directed it as Kennedy wanted it. So they were directing it as a comedy something up until they got snitched on and fired.

Every movie they've been involved with is better than Disney Wars, so I'm positive Disney fucked up by canning them, but I'm sad we'll never know just how badly. Imagine if you knew there was a good version of TLJ sitting in a vault somewhere. Tantalizing.
