Yay. My favorite character in the whole wide world that totally deserves an ongoing. Yay.

I'm excited too

Pornography.

I can hardly contain my excitement. Thor looks like one badass powerhouse, which he really needs to be in this movie because he was no where near as awesome as he should have been in the first one. I want to see him strike thunder upon MILLIONS of those androids. It's time for him to fuck shit up, and show his team mates what he can really do.

Yah I think so to. On a side note did anyone read Original Sin: Thor and Loki? I got the first two issues and man I am hardcore shipping Hipster Loki with the Queen of Angels.

She looks really good but what is it with DC and there anti-color movement.

Really all I want is a brighter red. Is it too much to ask for. Lol. Also I have watched Fast Five and while I am confident that Gal Gadot can do the phyical stuff that WW can do I am not so confident about her voice. She has too much of an accent. Personally I would have Susan Eisenberg voice over her. It would be almost perfect.

Edit: Nvm this is the real deal. There was just a darker filter like with the Batman photo. But we all know that since it's Zack Snyder he will have a dark filter throughout the whole movie so it doesn't matter.

Also I say this rendition of WW which was neat.

Yah. Me too. I wish Dwayne McDuffie were still alive because he would be my favorite choice to write/direct the DC Universe.

If actors want to pull out from doing a role in a superhero movie franchise like Marvel's Avengers and the rest of it's cinematic universe, I think it would be a good idea to see that character get killed off, to make the ultimate sacrifice, and then that way, other characters can get more of the spotlight during sequels. Like if Tony Stark sacrificed himself to save the world or something, War Machine, The Vision, Black Knight or Ms Marvel could take his screen time. I think this would be wise to consider with a team of this high caliber of super beings, all fully deserving strong action scenes. Captain America was pretty drab in The Avengers and Thor didn't get the focus he should have gotten with his ridiculously high power level against the Chitauri, which should have been a big highlight, perhaps something akin to the thunder strikes he rained down upon the Chitauri warships in The Ultimates. So to see a larger roster of team members get the pivotal roles they deserve in The Avengers franchise, I think it would be wise to replace the character of Tony Stark, who has already had very large roles in four movies, plus at least two more still to come, than change the actor. I would much rather switch up the focus on the characters, rather than change the actors. I'm not keen on the idea of another actor replacing Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man. I'd rather see Thor get more focus. Or maybe Black Panther, She-Hulk, the Vision.. there's lots of untapped potential to utilise and if Robert Downey Jr ever did decide to leave the franchise, it would make for an excellent excuse to see more characters get the pivotal spot light within the ever-expanding team.

Plus, I would much rather see characters go out with a bang, than go the "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" route whilst struggling to get new actors to play roles that have already been significantly developed beforehand by a previous actor. Thor and Cap didn't get the spotlight they deserved in The Avengers, and I worry that this might happen again in the sequel. I'll be very disappointed if Cap, Thor and the Vision don't get some major character developing scenes or a proper showcase of their powers.

I know the majority of the team get lots of focus in their own solo movies, but regardless of actual character development for a moment, they still need a few BIG scenes as team members within The Avengers franchise, if only for audiences to truly witness their strengths within the team. As it stands, I don't think Thor's powerlevel has been shown off as prominently as it should and I doubt the general audience are aware that he's supposed to be the main powerhouse of the team. I'm not even sure the GA understand just how much more powerful he is than Iron Man.

What do you guys think? Would you rather see Iron Man be the main character and have numerous actors play him for as long as the franchise exists, or would you rather see him go out with a bang when the actor's contract indefinitely ends and have other characters receive the pivotal spotlight? I personally side with the latter. After all, the Avengers are an ever-changing roster of heroes that shouldn't need to rely on the same ones.

And it would also make for a more realistic MU by enabling some good characters and heroes to die and not just the villains.

So what would you guys rather see? The character killed off in a glorious fashion, or keep the character around and replace the actor?

edit - Any character, not just Tony Stark.



I think that was his Unibeam, fired from his chest, but I'm not sure. But yeah, those three little seconds where he lands, shoots and then takes off again is perhaps the most exciting two to three seconds of cinema I've ever experienced. I've seen far better action scenes overall, but as a two second clip, that's got to be the most nerd-gasmic two seconds I've ever seen in a film. I wanted to scream when I saw it.

Yeah, it doesn't even look sharp. :/

Also, did anyone notice she's wearing heels? Probably so she looks as tall as an Amazonian should be.

I'm one of those people who believe that aesthetics are important when it comes to character portrayals. And the reason for this is simply because I want to see the characters I love and read about come to life on the big screen. So from a completely non-sexual perspective... Wonder Woman needs bigger boobs.

It's freaking Wonder Woman!! And unfortunately, at the risk of sounding sexist.. Wonder Woman needs a decent sized rack. Now, for the record, I like small breasts. I do. My girlfriend doesn't have large breasts either. But I also don't think my girlfriend would be the right fit for Wonder Woman.

Just my opinion.

But that's a very minor complaint. I'm much more concerned about how bad her brown armour looks. It's supposed to be red. I second what Sage6paths said. It's too dark. And that sword is one of the most pathetic looking swords I've ever seen.

I think dark red is a good look, and I'm in favour of seeing dark red instead of bright red. But that just looks brown to me. And where's the gold? I want to see her tiara and bracelets sparkle. They need to look solid gold, make the female audiences admire the jewellery because women love expensive jewellery. Not that cheap crap she's got on her head. My mother would write in and complain to the WB studio about Wonder Woman's iconic jewellery looking that bad, and she's not even a Wonder Woman fan, she just loves gold. Seriously, she'd be disgusted.

but you think Citizen Kane is a bad movie?

Hopefully Bats is wearing protective neck covering.

Jer: What? Kane is a great movie.
