Nerd culture became shit when people who were embarrassed to be nerds joined in.
>NOOO IT CAN'T LOOK SILLY
Who is embarrassed here?
The writer. He can't imagine how to make something like Modok serious.
The movie is afraid that people will laugh at MODOK and think Marvel isn't in on the joke (that MODOK was meant to be taken seriously, but the movie failed it do it). So instead, the film goes out of its way to make it clear to the audience that itknowsMODOK is silly.
The movie also wanted to portray Kang as the actual serious threat, that's why he constantly bullies MODOK and every scene with him is 100% serious business. The result is a huge tonal whiplash.
>Who is embarrassed here?
Hillary supporters for voting for a b***h that will never be president LMAOOO
KWAB
Rent free
yeah we are rent free in that c**ts head when she lost
>Loveness
Of course
>The Ballad of Fingoria did a better MODOK than the movies
Impressive ME3 mod.
Loveness is a nerd but the kind of nerd that will make fun of a character if said character is not his favorite or is silly in his eyes, the average cape fan is like this.
Shut up nerd
You shut up, nerd
Honestly, I'm glad this unfunny hack lost his job writing the next Avengers
If you won't even bother trying to take something comic booky seriously in a comic book movie, then what the frick are you doing writing for one?
>I refuse to listen to the fans
I hope he was fired.
nerd culture began when nerd properties became trendy. youd be surprised at how popular things like OWoD or dragon ball z were in pre-08 locker rooms.
one of our db and wr almost got into it because of kikyo>kagome
Thank god this guy never wrote for Aquaman. He would've just put an actual fricking bucket as a helmet for Black Manta.
You can say various negative things about the DCEU, but one absolutely positive thing they did was portraying Black Manta as a serious threat, and doing his costume nearly 100% comic accurate at that.
Lol, the actual writer who made up modok thinks he was portrayed well.
>the actual writer who made up modok
homie what
>the man who will get blacklisted if he says its bad says its not bad
>the man who works for Marvel says the Marvel thing is good
Well I guess we can stop the reviews here then
And this is why comics will never ever be more than a meme.
When the people making both the comics and the adaptations have 0 respect for them, how do you expect anyone in the audience to give a frick about them?
>no tears in the writer no tears in the reader
crazy how people always forget that
You know how to make MODOK serious?
Have him kill people onscreen. Play up the fact no takes him seriously and they let down their guard and he kills them for it.
So like Gwen Poole and poor Cecil?
Or just don't downplay that he's an abomination that should not be alive like that. Japs are really good at making monsters that are more scary because of how ridiculous they look, not less.
You know, if somehow Darren took the Thomas train with him from the first film we could of had T.H.O.M.A.S. A Train Holding Only a Mass Amount of Society
APOLOGIZE
>Fricking Super Hero Squad, a show made for babies, made MODOK silly and pulled it off
>Adults writing "serious" adult entertainment can't do it
HA
Lord, the ending of that episode broke my heart. MODOK didn't deserve that.
Jesus, they gave Danvers boob jiggle, in a kids show. Frick Marvel and Disney MCU's women can't have breast, it'll corrupt the little boys mentality.
They might grow up attracted to women.
He killed his wife
That MODOK design reminds me of George Takei.
for whta? I never hated the show I jist didn't feel like watching thats all
>Repurposing of a previously existing character - would never be his own thing
>Exists solely to be treated as a joke
>first (and last?) appearance is just a lowly minion
>No AIM?? (Didn't watch the movie, can't find any info about them
>god-awful cgi
it's like they fricked him up in every conceivable manner.
AIM was already a thing in Iron Man 3
Well yeah, but even if it was a previously existing entity, you could have introduced MODOK as having taking over AIM remnants, and have them operating in the shadows. From there, you can have him be a scientist that got mutated into a horrible monster through experimentation, and takes advantage of the absence of Tony to make his move on the world.
I dunno, fricking anything would have been better than this. mother fricking M.I.N.O (M.O.D.O.K in name only)
>Repurposing of a previously existing character - would never be his own thing
The previous existing character isnt a thing either. Its complete mcuslop, never was a thing in the comic books.
Being fair, the OG Darren Cross wasn't someone extremely interesting or entertaining, he was just a weird red hulk that died from a heart attack. Before the rewrites of the first film Darren was going to become a complete OC called the Nano Warrior, a bad guy that shrinks. At some point the decided to reference the comics and just turned him into Yellowjacket.
Why not name him after someone less obscure or less different?
As in why use Darren Cross in the first place? Because he is the bad guy of Scott Lang's origin story and that's what Edgar Wright was using as inspiration for the Ant-Man film, I figure he thought that having Ant-Man fight a red man wouldn't be as visually interesting as having him fight someone with similar powers, hence the decision to make him into a shrinking baddie.
And then, he was turned into MODOK because they rewatched his death in the first movie and thought that would be a way to explain how someone could end up disfigured with a big head, they wanted to make a callback to the first Ant-Man and liked the idea of having their own take on MODOK.
Huh, with that factiod it makes perfect sense. Why didn't they stick with the Nano Warrior name, not thematic enough?
I guess that's why yeah. In the movie Darren was Hank's protégé so I guess they thought that having him use the name of one of Hank's past personas from the comics would be a cool nod. Besides, having someone else use the Yellowjacket name to be a villain is something that happened in the comics so I guess they also drew inspiration from that.
I'm sick of modern media not even attempting to take themselves seriously, and this is not just marvel, is like every modern shows and movies.
EEAO won an Oscar, idiot. Modern media takes itself plenty seriously.
whats EEAO?
>I'm sick of modern media not even attempting to take themselves seriously, and this is not just marvel, is like every modern shows and movies.
Welcome to the world with Millennials slowly gaining power and forcing their garbage sense of "humor" on us. Nothing serious! Everything is wacky and zany! Did you hear they are going to make a Bambi horror movie? That's so wacky and random!
Modern? 80s and 90s was just as bad, it was just different packaging.
It's the difference between changing society to suit its people or changing people to benefit society.
>80s and 90s was just as bad
God this website loves its no u and whataboutism abuse but dear lord you didn't even fricking try. Yea the 80's and 90's were equally 100% the same bad which is why those eras are currently being strip mined for remakes and sequels. Frick you low IQ "no bro it's just as bad nothing is different" bullshit. The internet changed everything. People's tastes, politics everything. The era before and after that are not just business as usual.
whataboutism is fricking gay
Yea that was my point but homosexuals love abusing it on this site.
I mean he got fired, so there might still be hope
>Nerd culture
First problem was right here. Nerd "culture", like that is worth anything. When you were a kid and saw Spider-Man swinging across the city or when Wolverine rips some robots to pieces with his claws that's not because you were a nerd, it's because it's fricking cool to anyone with eyes.
But at some point someone decided "Oh this is all nerd shit for c**ts with no backbone" or something and lumped a lot of shit together for insane morons who have less standards than literal children creating stupid manchildren addicted to fictional franchises because they're making a flowchart of which character is stronger than who or if jerkoff-man canonically got cucked or creaming over some underage chick.
Go read an old-ass comic, those are bright, colorful, cheesy as frick, sometimes idiotic, but they're FUN. Alan Moore may be an absolute moron but he was right about adult "nerds", they'll watch Star Wars nowdays and start questioning how their laser swords work.. Any not-uneducated kid will watch and just say "Oh, rad sword" because he knows it's a goddamn movie.
So then you got these adult c**ts trying to convince themselves their dumb fun movie isn't dumb, that it's actually an "epic" and that it's meaningful and philosophic, because they are afraid that they can't just enjoy something "silly" or "kiddy" or "bad" because those things are such a big part of their identity, it would make THEM look silly or stupid. Because they're nerds. They have no backbone and hate those meanie bullies.
Those pretentious c**ts grow up physically but their mind remains on that cringy adolescent "Uhm, I am an ADULT now OK?" mindset which, as writer and crazy guy CS Lewis said, is the one and only truly immature thing
Moore was right, but for the wrong reasons. "Nerds" are inherently pathetic c**ts, they grew up and they ruined media, not anyone else. They made Spider-Man a pathetic guy that can't grow up, or accomplish anything ever. No one else.
Tldr lore, world building and thematic messaging are bad.
This, also, this whole "nerd shit" came into being because society is built around putting others down, so you can get higher in the social hierarchy. Anything that is a niche is bound to be ridiculed by others. Everyone who gets it knows why they want to climb the social ladder, I don't need to say it.
I thought you got higher in society by accomplishing things, not by destroying others.
The sad thing is that both happen. It's just that the former is harder while the latter is easier.
Given how life as a WHOLE likes to take the the fastest and most efficient route to get results (ie. Lazy and easy) , and that evil is almost always the easiest route, what did you expect?
Humans are evil by default becaise LIFE IS EVIL.
Nature doesn't have conscious thought. Humans are capable of kindness and decency. It's not always the norm, but we're also able to comprehend game theory and that it's in our best interests not to go around backstabbing all the time.
but that's how all culture works, you insufferable homosexual
well that started back with Bryan Singer's X-Men
It's so weird. His Novas book was super respectful to Rich and Sam. I guess he spent to much time with gays like Jimmy Kimmel.
But.....MODOK has been treated as as joker in comics too? I agree on principle but you picked the worst case
While MODOK has been presented as a joke in the comics, he has also has his moments of respect from writers, and the occasional win over the past +50 years of his existence.
In contrast, his inclusion into the MCU was to be treated as a breathing joke, and killed off. Even with multiverse shenanigans, I really, REALLY doubt they're going to bother bringing back such a literal-who character
In the end, 100% of MODOK's appearances in the MCU will be a trash, written by someone who has nothing but burning contempt for the character. Rad, can't wait to see how they do Galactus.
galactus will be a mukbang tik toker
I liked the EMH version. He was a little silly, but he was also a threat.
Remember to gatekeep your hobbies. I’m just glad interest in cape movies are waning so now comics can be good again with the activists gone. Politics will be brain dead for another decade unless Trump wins again which will of course extend that time frame.
SportsChads don’t have to worry about gatekeeping because sports is autism repellent
you can't gatekeep when they offer it to the general audience. you can't make these business to give a damn for you if they can make extra dollars pitching goods to the masses.
>interest in cape movies are waning so now comics can be good again with the activists gone
DC/Marvel Comics were already trash before 2008 Iron man or whatever your metric is, In fact cape comics went to shit in the late 80s when they balloon with masses buying them which just frick everything up and lead to the 90s comic crash and we never recovered as most writers for cape shit are horrid.
gatekeepers are fat
gatekeepers are fat
>SportsChads don’t have to worry about gatekeeping because sports is autism repellent
They have been trying pretty hard to ruins sports too.
gatekeepers are fat
And?
its a reason they get mocked
So what is one supposed to do then? Sit there and eat shit?
Eating more shit is the last thing fat people should do
