The Crow

I hadn't even heard of that movie.

canflam

It's an English spy film directed by Matthew Vaughn & based on the comic by Mark Miller. I was looking at upcoming comic book films & saw it.

The Crow

Sounds interesting.

canflam

It's a Limited Series. Only 6 issues. Just ended last year. I like that The Rock is playing ''Black Adam'' instead of ''Shazam!'', but we'll see how it goes.

The Crow

He wouldn't have been very good as Shazam.

canflam

Because he doesn't look the part?

The Crow

Well...that too. He just seems like he'd be better playing the villain than the hero in this instance.

canflam

Oh. I haven't seen any of his recent films. I'll try to catch ''Hercules'' at some point. Unsure who else I'd like in that villainous role.

The Crow

I guess the last Fast and Furious movie is the last movie that I saw The Rock in.

The Survivor

I think he will do great as Black Adam. He can play a villainous role on TV week after week back in his wrestling days I am sure this will be easy for him.

The Crow

Sounds interesting. James Spader is a terrific actor. Curious to see how this pans out.

I'm still depressed that they had to change Ultron's origin all because of Edgar Wright's Ant Man movie that Wright ended up leaving in shambles. I'm really not a fan of how they're respecting all the other Avengers but throwing Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne under the bus just because of Edgar Wright's script, making Hank an old man and Janet an off-screen corpse.

The reason that I don't think it makes sense for Tony Stark to create Ultron is because it's just not the kind of technology that Tony Stark would make. Tony is an applied physicist, computer scientist, and an engineer, and he favors user-oriented technology like his Iron Man armor. Tony would consider anything that takes human decisions out of the equation as unreliable. That's why it makes more sense to keep Hank Pym as Ultron's creator. As an expert in quantum physics, biochemistry, robotics, and artificial intelligence, Hank is the one who is more into theoretical, unorthodox technology. It's the difference between a theorist(Pym) and a pragmatist(Stark). They're brilliant scientists, but work in very different fields, and you can't just make them interchangeable just because they're both geniuses. And of course, the only reason Ultron went crazy is because Hank Pym based his programming on his own brainwave patterns, which were becoming unstable due to repeated use of the Pym particles to shrink and grow. Tony doesn't have any instability other than a major issue with alcohol.

But, you're still going to watch ''Ant-Man'' right?

PhoenixRising

Nope. Not gonna contribute any money to the campaign to desecrate Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne and sell off their storylines like so many spare parts. I'll be crossing my fingers for the movie to flop, but regardless of what happens I'm not going to waste my time with it.
