Unless you played the games or saw the 90s caroons, you wouldn't know half the heroes. I didn't know about the JLA til the cartoon came out.

I could recognize Thor because of the silly hat and IronMan was aired with the X-men cartoon, heck we even got this sweet baby.

Oh boy! A LOT of people did.
2008: "Making a live action movie about Alice in Wonderland? That sounds lame."
2009: "Making a movie about RED? That sounds lame."
2013: "Making a live action movies about Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella That sounds lame."
Perfect.

This reads like a tabloid magazine.
Aren't people getting a little ahead of themselves here?

I think the article was explicitly made to catch people trying to hide their desire for the downfall of Marvel Studios slipping with how far people are stretching things off of what is as valid as other concocted BS comic book film rumours. We caught a few in this thread.
I think it's more two bad things happened

Or two things happened and people are overreacting to it.
Compared to other movies that person has seen that were more in line with their tastes. Or perhaps, they are judging the films on their own merits rather than comparing them to something else and don't find them that enjoyable.
There's nothing "bizarre" about people having different taste.

It's a bit of a confusing rhetorical rant (sounded better in my head). I was sort of playing off the other post in that if those movies are considered bad/terrible to some people what does that make movies like Green Lantern or the Last Stand, movies that are widely considered terrible?

I prefer that actually, because some of them will inevitably be bad and some of them will inevitably be good. So why not let more directors and writers take a stab at what is one of the richest universes in fiction. And the mythology has already been defiled heavily so it's not like there's a perfect streak to preserve.

I'm sorry, but Latino Review do not 'largely hit'. When it comes to their scoops/exclusives/insider information, their batting average is maybe 1 in 6.
Well I wouldn't say its the most rich, but it certainly has incredible potential and its the only major franchise in the space opera type genre.

Wait... theres a Ms. Marvel script! #heavybreathing why did no one tell me!?

either way hope it works out for Marvel and Antman. Disney or whoever is pressuring the creativity of the movies needs to back off, hopefully they do because the ire of fans is harsh and I think they will soon find that out.

I like the MCU movies, they're fun, but I can agree with you.
Yeah I don't think most people see their "rumors" for most things, its terrible. This reads like some info that's been creatively interpreted.
Of course it reads like a tabloid. Movie gossip sites are tabloids.
They're using the Wright departure to spin a click bait narrative. Not surprising.

Who? What is his reputation?
They still bring up the Heath Ledger scoop when people question their cred or when they want to brag about their cred. That shit was 8 years ago.
It was a good get, but 8 years is 8 years.
He's an anon insider in hollywood. Edgar Wright wrote the forward for his book so I assume they are at least acquaintances

I love Pokken!
If true, Disney is following the Warner Brothers route then.

Antman solo movie is about as interesting as fantastic four or plastic man getting a solo movie. I give most super hero movies a chance though.
I dunno, this thing sounds too boneheaded for a studio who just did the Guardians movie.

A blogger with a lot of friends in high places. If he says it is legit then it is legit at the time he twtt'd it.
Also, Devin may be a giant asshole but the guy never prints anything he hasn't checked up on. If he says Joss is looking to leave he probably heard that from someone at Disney or Joss himself.
Marvel is apart of Hollywood. If everything Devin says is true they're doing it to themselves.

Thing is we're talking about Disney (the studio that made Jhon Carter and Lone Ranger) Marvel is slowly turning into part of that entity.
Pixar might be Example A.

Cars, Cars 2, Brave to some extend. Pixar is still awesome but they're not infalible anymore.
That really doesn't describe any of the mainline Marvel universe films as of late, even The Winter Soldier.
Seriously?
I think the basic idea is people higher above Feige.
As much as we can agree that Pixar has gone to the dumps after Toy Story 3, I feel the urge to correct you:
Planes isn't Pixar, it's DisneyToon Studios.
i revert, their franchises are being used to spawn crap.
2010, how long did Disney own Pixar at that point?

What? So you think Marvel should just sell the movie rights to all their heroes?
Four years, the Disney-Pixar merger being complete on 2006. Which is incidentally close enough to the story at hand in this topic, 2014 being Marvel's fifth Disney year (well, it'll be in about three months).
Hmmm, the Disney era of Power Rangers also started to go to the dogs on their fourth season... let's see if 2016-2017 marks the beginning of the Disney doom of Star Wars with that pattern.
