no, noooo, I love superior Spider-man, it pisses all over the potential of killing Parker in the ultimates universe n just replacing him with a black peter parker
FFS, while it's obvious they were going to bring him back, couldn't they have waited more than a year? Actually give this arc some meaning and time to develop naturally? Superhero deaths are already dime-a-dozen by this point, keeping Peter dead the extra 12 months or so would hopefully give it a bit of impact, but no, back to life for Peter.
It's not as if Superior isn't selling well either, but I guess they need to status quo back for when the movie comes out...
Ford originally championed the idea of killing Han in Return Of The Jedi to raise the stakes. His reasons made perfect sense plot wise and would have added what Joss Wheadon cleverly called "Possible Wild Bunch ending" in Serenity. (As in they could all die) So no, sorry Bob I didn't hear it from you first.TechTim said:Han dies as a "shock moment", maybe. I feel more likely Luke dies protecting Han, Leah, and sidekicks.
I did too. I even tried to stop myself from laughing because I knew it was coming but I couldn't, it was so dumb I still lost it. I got quite a few looks lol.Zachary Amaranth said:People actually laughed at the "reveal" in Into Darkness at the theater a friend of mine went to.
I could totally see it happening again. Abrams pats himself on the back while viewers laugh.
That takes a lot of guts to say on the Internet, and I can respect that. I do not HATE the prequel trilogy, just think it could have been better. If anything's a threat to the sequel trilogy's success, it's the Vocal Minority of fans whose whining is the loudest than all others.shrekfan246 said:And thus a new decade of cries about "But Han shot first!" was born unto the internet.Zhukov said:Oh, I can just hear it now, "Bu... bu... but that's not... that's not what happened in the extended universe!"
OT: Insightful episode. As somebody who likes The Phantom Menace and likes many parts of the other two prequels, I'm not really all that afraid of how a new trilogy is going to "ruin" Star Wars forever again. It's not like much worth paying attention to has come out of the Star Wars brand since 2006, anyway.
Wouldn't be the first time; in 2011, right on time for Captain America: The First Avenger, Steve Rogers was given the name Captain America again because up to that point, it was Bucky Barnes, who was "killed" again.Mr Ink 5000 said:if the first film is anything to go by, its gonna take more than ruining the comic to make the sequal look goodAdam Locking said:Is it bad this was the main thing I took away from this as well?Mr Ink 5000 said:what was that about Peter Parker at 4:10?MovieBob said:Stars, Worn

I certainly acknowledge that the prequels could be far better. Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith have embarrassing scripts which the performances of Samuel L. Jackson and Ewan McGregor couldn't even save, Hayden Christensen was a poor casting choice but I'm not sure any more talented actor would've even been able to do a better job, and Lucas' direction was fairly poor across the board.Darth_Payn said:That takes a lot of guts to say on the Internet, and I can respect that.

It's a legit reaction. I had it spoiled well before I saw it so my response was fairly inorganic, but sweet Jesus was that a dumb reveal.seditary said:I did too.
