Re: Black Widow and Joss Whedon

Lets get back to topic; I have not seen the movie and I know it sucks.

Hmmmkay, good luck, robots. ^_^

Yep. Robots. America can do it!

American made robots - true saviors of the galaxy!

Isn't he a bit more than a soulles machine? I think Medusa can stone Transformers.

The Spark of a Transformer is pretty similar to a human soul. Hence they can feel emotions like a human. Even in the crappy Bay films. In fact, it was the plot line of the 1988-89 Japanese series, "Transformers: Super God Masterforce", where humans become bonded to a Spark less Transformers and by the end, pieces of their souls merge with the Transtectors, creating a Spark for that Transformer. Complete with the memories, personality traits and even the voices of their human hosts.

We're talking gorgons verus robots. Seriousness went bye bye some time ago .

LOL
The tragic thing is, as ludicrous as this thread is turning out to be, it still can´t topple the Nubia Queen Bee thread.

Also, the people who decided not to let Joss Whedon make his movie about the Amazon Princess might well have made the biggest mistake in movie making since the guys who passed on Star Wars.

After seeing The Avengers last night I so have to agree with this statement.

[LoneNecromancer]

It would've been mighty hard to let Whedon make a movie when he never even finished a script in two years.

[Gaelforce]

I think Joss should direct and have input on the script. I don't think he should write it as I fear, from everything I've seen and heard of his first attempt, we'd just end up with Buffy Woman.

He finished (several drafts, I think) but Tthe Powers That Be kept on not liking it, even if they were unable to say what it was they didn't like and would like to see changed.

Where on Earth did you come up with that bizarre notion?
He finished drafts, but his take was highly revisionist. She was mostly de-powered, and only discovered the concept of "bullets & bracelets" after being shot once.

Which.... is what Carabas just said.

"Mostly depowered" is normal for live action Wonder Woman. He wrote what he was told to write.

I think if Marvels gets out a Black Widow or Runaways movie out and if both are a success, than DC officially lost the live action movie race.

If the overall movie didn't lend veracity to that statement, then surely the first of the stingers confirms drove the first nail into that coffin! May I also say that I want Amy Acker as Abigail Brand in the sequel! Give me Ali Larter or Katie Sackhoff as Ms. Marvel! ...and Wonder Woman! (Big at aegis!)

[americanwonder]

... Ali Larter ... as Ms. Marvel!

I totally blacked-out there for a moment. Yum.

Avengers is a really good movie. Loads of fun. Kudos to all involved.
