Guardians of the GalaxyFollow

The whole Agent of Asgard thing is in his solo book. The All-Mothers (Apparently Odin has three wives or something) have taken over Asgard since Odin banished himself, and they're using Loki as a kind of secret agent who is in charge of dealing with Asgardian affairs on Midgar/Earth. New Future Old Loki isn't so much evil as he's single purposed. Not a bad read, but not a buy and take home kind of thing.

At least the Tenth Realm stuff at least sounds plausible ... well, plausible in the context of the comics.

There was apparently a showing of the first twenty or so minutes of GotG. I haven't, and won't, go see it but the reaction I've read seems to be all positive. Only concern I really have is that the following week is the Michael Bay Turtle's movie, and Bay movies make money regardless of quality. Wait, no regardless of quality, I mean completely lacking quality. Future movies are based on past ticket sales and such, and I certainly want more of the b-list and below heroes to get some screen time.

Also, I'm gonna have to finally invest in Netflix.

When the first trailer of Guardians was posted here I didn't like it but somehow that has completely changed and now I can't wait. Sadly there are no cinemas in my city who screen movies in the original language and I don't want to watch the dubbed (read: butchered) version. :/ It's amazing how much worse some movies get as soon as you do a half-assed job with the synchronization.

DC released costume promotional images of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman for the Batman v Superman movie. I don't think my computer has enough red pixels to highlight everything that rustles my jimmies.

Wow. All of those costumes are pretty terrible.

I don't like the Batman costume at all. It looks like a big step backwards from what we've had in the recent movies, back into the super-cheesy past.

I have very low expectations for this movie.

The Wild West Batman actually looks pretty badass. I wouldn't be surprised if that design was actually used in an old west alternate timeline series or something.

The Nomura Batman could be cool if they ever made a super-stylized anime. Actually, that sounds like a pretty interesting idea. The art style would be so out of the box though that it probably wouldn't appeal to many traditional Batman fans.

The Batman costume looks like it is from the Dark Knight Returns storyline, and there's a few screen captures from SDCC that appear to be the heavily armored suit involved in the Batman/Superman fight is going to be involved.

I'm just annoyed that DC and Warner is afraid of colors and is making Wonder Woman's outfit drab and lifeless because of the Nolan Batman movies. The costume itself is okay, but really should be bright red and blue. As it is, it looks like it was stolen from a background character in a mob scene from an episode of Xena.

Will DC ever manage to make a good Wonder Woman movie?

SpoilerProbably not.

Seriously, Gal Gadot sounds more like a Green Lantern name.

Seems that the casting can't get beyond pretty and feminine for a female lead, no matter what the part.

I'd like to see a big beefy super-hero gal. Alien got it right casting Sigourney Weaver in the lead. Even the woman from the Terminator movies had some guts to her.

Gal Gadot looks like the woman you'd want to save not the woman you want to save you.

How about Gwendoline Christie, from Game of Thrones?
Spoiler

Before you dismiss her out of hand as "Lol, no, not Brienne the Beauty", just put a dark wig on her.
Spoiler

.
6'3" to cover the Amazon part, a former gymnast, so an athletic background, and she's not unattractive. Just my pick, if you disagree, that's fine.

Wait... that's a ******* Barbie Doll with dark hair and a wonder woman costume.... a bust about twice the size as her waist, half again the size of her hips.

I don't see how that's any different than this one. Other than it's go the red/blue costume so it looks more wonder woman-y.
