Forreal? The face was so off though, thought they used a body double for that reason

How did it look off? Looked just like him to me.

 

[Shaanyboi]

I don't even care how accurate or right it is or whatever, I've never really cared about that sort of thing. I just think they look bad period. Maybe some people think they look bad due to accuracy but I think they look bad due to not... looking good.

Some eras just had stupid fashion trends. And an idiot like Quicksilver would totally embrace those stupid fashion trends.

 

[Discotheque]

It truly is an entirely different and awful beast in motion. Got really distracting

 

[Fusebox]

I remember they did a great job shrinking his body, can you post a gif of what you're taking about?

 

[Discotheque]

I'm on my phone right now. Youtube a scene, it's hard to explain until you see it in film. It's off. It looks fine in pictures but yeah the facial movement just felt unnatural.

 

[Clevinger]

Marvel's Quicksilver wins by default just because nothing is worse than Singer's Quicksilver.

Exactly.

 

[Kinyou]

You talking about Cap? That's Evan's actual body. They shrunk the body with CG.

Woah, not sure if that makes it more or less creepy

 

[Fusebox]

I've got the Bluray, I've seen it. I don't know what you're talking about.

 

[.GqueB.]

Marvel's Quicksilver wins by default just because nothing in this world and possibly all of the universe at large including all possible multiverses is worse than Singer's Quicksilver.

Had to fix that for you.

 

[Discotheque]

Well to each their own, I thought it looked garbage at times. Would have been preferable if they just filmed him before he bulked up like crazy

 

[Serpentine]

they both look dumb as heck, but the X-Men one is worse because the goal is to make him look hip and it's failing hard. the white hair isn't THAT necessary

 

[Hex]

Much like with Ultron, it will probably be cgi enhanced but why stop and put thought into it first before letting the complaints and hate flow.
(Not to mention the fact that if they are just kids trying to get by, it is not like there is a Super Hero costume mart out there to get interweb pleasing outfits and the better outfits would most likely come after hooking up with the Avengers)

Yeah that's true. Probably the same thing we're people tell me how they hate CG and wish people would use puppets instead but I hate puppets in movies. Looks worse than CG

Internet hate is like saving for retirement:

You have to start early.

Spoiler

Quicksilver isn't running fast enough by the way. I shouldn't even be able to see him.

 

[Can Crusher]

I've got the Bluray, I've seen it. I don't know what you're talking about.

If we are talking about the scene similar to Spiderman's 1 where he's skinny, then no it's not his body. It's his head.

 

[Discotheque]

Yeah that's true. Probably the same thing we're people tell me how they hate CG and wish people would use puppets instead but I hate puppets in movies. Looks worse than CG

I thought gollum and the main characters in avatar were amazing though. It can be done well

 

[Daingurse]

Both suck.

This, based only on what I've seen, neither nails it.

 

[crimsonspider89]

The big difference. is the AoU seems like something a speedster who hates peple would wear.

DoFP does not scream QS. Makes no sense when he is going fast.

ANd since he is constantly going fast in his mind, the music is pointless.

 

[.GqueB.]

Entirely too much time has been spent talking about the first 20 minutes of the first Captain America movie that ultimately didn't matter. This time could've been spent making fun of Singers Quicksilver and his stupid jacket.

 

[Kuroyume]

I just can't believe how lazy both the two new Avengers look. Looks like they're just wearing regular casual wear. I thought Marvel was good for actually coming close to the iconic designs. If you're going to bludgeon people on the head that they're a group of the world's mightiest heroes or whatever then why not have these two others dress in hero garb like the others instead of the way these two look?

 

[Rodney McKay]

One of those 2 is wearing a Pink Floyd shirt ... I think we can clearly see who is the winner here

Ugh, there's going to be a super speed scene where he duct-tapes a guy to the wall? Now there's some originality. :|

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Both of them look bad.

 

[.GqueB.]

This, based only on what I've seen, neither nails it.

Nails what? The source character looks a bit shite to begin with. I mean this ok but only because it's not as terrible as the lightening garb you usually see him in:

Do we know what part of the narrative this is?

 

[Extra Sauce]

Pink Floyd is cool but the people who wear Pink Floyd shirts are often the opposite of cool. I guess Singer is going for realism in that sense.

You sold my dead bird to a blind kid?

lmfao aware

 

[Platy]

You sold my dead bird to a blind kid?

This image is reaching "halle berry in x3" levels of bad white hair =O

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

The White Hair in the avengers one looks so bad. Maybe if they trimmed his hair short it would look right.

 

[Khezu]

I like the costume for the Avengers QS, but his wig is hilarious.

Maybe they are going to CG the shit out of it in post? Do they even do that?

 

[Funky Papa]

I had to look that up, I am sad you knew it Funky

It's a poor excuse, but I only know about it because of GAF.

 

[inky]

Wouldn't the beard create drag?

Xmen > AoU

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Why does a meh Flash costume on a freaking CW budget look like it has more time and effort put into it than 2 completely different attempts with huge Hollywood budgets?

 

[BLACKLAC]

Joke post? I tend to keep myself from shitting on the flash costume because lol tv budget.

Should I just post the shitty filming pics of it?

Think I will.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

I doubt they are going to use CGI to fix his hair, which is the dumbest looking part.

You'd be surprised how many little minor things like that end up getting touched up. You should sit in a JJ Abrams CG shot review session. ;P

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Problems with the Flash costume are easily fixed later on, it actually looks like they made an effort despite it not looking that great.

 

[Daingurse]

Nails what

The source material, neither of those shots screams Quicksilver to me. I don't care whether the original Pietro looks silly, I could at least appreciate that.

 

[Meier]

One of those 2 is wearing a Pink Floyd shirt ... I think we can clearly see who is the winner here

This looks way, way, way worse than the Empire cover version. I'm sure they'll post-production it up a bit but come on, that's terrible.

Wait, one of the actors in X-Men goes by Booboo? -________-

 

[kewlmyc]

Quicksilver is both a mutant (which means he's covered under Fox's deal) and an Avenger (which places him under Marvel Studios' remit). He also had not been used before either of these movies, whereas Spider-Man and Wolverine were in several films before Marvel Studios got in the game.

Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were Avengers years before they were revealed as Magneto's children.

They are X Men but also were in the original lineup of Avengers. It's dumb I know. I guess Spidey doesnt count as its very recent he was part of the team. Post-movie rights even?

It's because Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are considered, by Marvel and Fox, to be major characters to both the X-Men and Avengers properties. They are Magneto's children, but they are also core, early members of the Avengers team from the early days. Their lawyers were able to work out an agreement where they could both be used, but Marvel can't refer to them as mutants or mention anything related to X-Men.

Wolverine and Spider-Man were never core members of the Avengers team, certainly not founding members, and even then have been more associated with the New Avengers team post Civil War rather than with the regular ass Avengers, at least until recently.

No sir, I don't like, but it makes sense. Not legal wise though. Thanks for the explanations.

 

[BLACKLAC]

Yeah I doubt that...

Though to use your excuse any problems with the QS look can be fixed later on(which is just the hair). What MCU QS is wearing looks good and he is *gasp* built, unlike Fox QS or Flash.

 

[kyser73]

Damn, thought this thread was about an adaptation of Neal Stephenson's book.

This is the gift that keeps on giving

 

[Funky Papa]

On the plus side, he didn't skip leg day.

 

[HoodWinked]

bryan singer just wants to be consistently horrible in his visual choices

 

[Discotheque]

Yeah I think the booboo guy is warpath. Dat name though

 

[Funky Papa]

They don't that bad in movement, TBF.

 

[jett]

I wonder how are they gonna explain the mutant powers in Avengers 2, supposedly they can't make any reference to mutants.

"One day I woke up and had these powers."

 

[richiek]

Looks like we're getting a lightning bolt uniform for Quicksilver after all.

 

[Toa TAK]

"One day I woke up and had these powers."

They can't use the words "genetic mutations"?

Where are the peeps with skills peeping through loopholes on the set?

 

[Messypandas]

Gotta go faster

Bro there's other chicks around..leave your sister alone
