New Marvel Legends/6" Appreciation Thread

Agree on Cap being the best CB trilogy but I have a feeling the next 2 Avengers movies will push Avengers over the top.

Now back to figures. When are we ever gonna get a new classic Herc & 80s Herc like the awesome one they made in the MU 3 3/4 line. Classic Thor and BA Ironman, classic Vision along with Black Knight, Swordsman, Quicksilver & 1st or 2nd app Wonderman & a BAF 16' scale Giantman/Goliath are also a must.

I really like the first Thor though... Kenneth Branagh did a good job.

What about Black Swan? That was an incredible movie imo

I’ve enjoyed each of the movies so far. I still think The Avengers is arguably the greatest comic book film of all time, rivaled by The Dark Knight.

My order of enjoyment goes...

The Avengers (arguably the greatest CB film ever created)
Captain America: Civil War
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Spider-Man: Homecoming
Guardians of the Galaxy
Iron Man
Doctor Strange (THE MOST Underrated film and origin story to date)
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2.
Ant-Man
Captain America: The First Avenger
Thor
Iron Man 3
The Incredible Hulk
Iron Man 2
Thor: The Dark World

This is my exact list!! But With Hulk and the cap the First avenger being my least favorite two MCU movies. Civil war and Avengers are Perfect

At the Hasbro panel they reiterated they're interested in trying to get to Xavier and his hoverchair. I hope they find a way to release it. With Gambit a certainy now we're close to a good Jim Lee/90's TV show line-up.

VashTS · 10-07-2017, 11:46 AM

I personally think movies like Avengers will NOT stand the test of time. I think a lot of Marvel movies were not good, watchable but nothing to write home about. I think Avengers 2 was okay-ish at best, same with GOTG2, Ironman 2, Thor Darkworld....a lot of #2's(Pun intended) here.

I will list movies and include DC from most favorite on down.

1. Superman 2 (Kneel before that soundtrack)
Spiderman 2 (Heroism and sacrifice at its finest)
Batman 1989 (KEATON...LETS GET NUTS)
Dark Knight (Realistic Hero)
Winter Soldier (Best MCU Film)
Amazing Spiderman 2(The only Marvel Movie to have a meaninfgul Death)
Captain America (Showed Marvel had a footing and the movie that needed to succeed)
Superman (The one that started it all in reality(or Batman(1966) the Movie)
Batman Returns (Michelle Phiffer : )
Spiderman
Wonderwoman
Iron Man 3
13. Batman vs Superman/GOTG

That is my list on top of my head. I am sure there are some that can be interchanged but for the most part, there it is. I consider things like, script, plot, acting, music, pacing, themes, camera work, meaningfulness, and fun factor and ability to rewatch.

@Kain I gotta Agree on that Dredd is probably one of the most underrated Superhero films of all time. It's perfect and has everything you would want in a judge Dredd movie. They're supposedly working on Bringing him to HBO or Netflix I can't remember which as a series

I've never seen that one... actually, didn't really see any of her dramas... just the other stuff she usually does.

Also... I agree Dredd is utterly amazing... loved always helmet on Karl Urban... loved blonde Olivia Thirlby... loved delightfully mean Cersei lady. Can't believe that movie came out so long ago now and there is no sequel yet and tons of other movies get sequels. I wish Dredd got a movie Legends figure... too bad it is not Marvel.

Also... my fav MCU thing is the first half of Captain America: First Avenger... I didn't even like Cap until I saw the movie.

I thought BvS was a B+ movie but then when DoomsZod showed up, the movie went down to a C-. But in my head I cut that movie off before DoomsZod shows up and pretend it never happened.

Snyder did a decent job with watchmen but mos had issues and...well bvs was about the equivalent of transformers.....hard to watch, too dark and action sequences that make watching the wall sober seem like a good idea. ( means it was hard to follow the fights cause of the shaky action sequences ).

Lmao I feel like you have to say that after everything now. I like Batman V Superman it had some VERY stupid parts imo like the whole Martha incident and the total Miss casting of Lex. Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman was great and Bat afleck was better then expected that's about it. I enjoyed it. Suicide squad not so much

Tomax · 10-07-2017, 06:01 PM

i personally really liked Batman vs. superman but i hate affleck as batman

Tim · 10-07-2017, 06:09 PM

Yeah He isn't the best "Batman" of all time but he does make a Great Bruce Wayne IMO. But I think they're Trying to Write out Ben as Batman in the DCEU.

Tim · 10-07-2017, 06:14 PM

Also Lol I have no idea why We're all talking about DC movies in a Marvel Legends thread

you have to be smart to understand bvs.

the martha scene is one of the most powerful scenes in film history. right up there with the deer hunter russian roulette scene and pa kent's tornado death.

I like to think im very intelligent....i just felt it was a piss poor execution with terrible casting ( i mean seriously jesse eisenberg as lex? ) and bad, bay-like cinematography and dialogue that was remniscent of a uwe boll film. Was the guy who directed sharknado not availabl?

So i kinda am lookin forwards to thor if for no other reason to see hulk smack thor around like a red headed step child.

i hope, as unlikely as it would be, somehow Thunderstrike gets introduced.

Il Cattivo · 10-07-2017, 07:00 PM

eisenberg was great as lex. he even won an award for it.

Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!! Yeah Jesse was piss poor Frankly he was THE Worst imo as Lex. That in my opinion was the worst Super Hero Live action villian. Even worst then Cloud monster (Green lantern film) As a villain

...You... you realize what a Razzie is, right?

BvS has 4 Razzies ("Worst Screenplay", "Worst Supporting Actor" (Jesse Eisenberg), "Worst Screen Combo" (Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck), and "Worst Prequel, Remake, Ripoff, Or Sequel") and a "Golden Trailer Award" (for "Best Original Poster"). BvS has more nominations than that, but they're largely from things like the Kids Choice Awards or the Teens Choice Awards, where any big blockbuster that's even remotely marketed towards kids or teens is at least gonna get nominated.

Suicide Squad's Oscar was for the makeup and hairstyling. That doesn't make the film good.
