Agreed, but all of the Marvel Studios films trailers have scenes that are slightly different in the actual film, eg Pepper kissing the Iron Man helmet for the Iron Man 2 trailer, and Cap throwing his shield down a corridor for The First Avenger... I like how trailers aren't just spoilers from the films anymore. I try to watch the initial trailer, and keep it at that.Zontar said:Ah 70s and 80s marvel, when time actually moved. Now its been 25 years of condensed storytelling in a vacuum of time (yet that still connects to real life events in the world). I actually feel quite saddened by the fact history has stopped for Marvel in the comics.
OT: I think the thing which interests me the most about the movie is the fact that the trailers have a red herring of a scene which isn't even in the movie. Not something I'd like to start seeing happen.
It's already pretty common. The marketing companies that cut trailers aren't necessarily working from the final cut of the film. They sometimes end up incorporating footage that doesn't get used in the final cut. One of the most infamous examples was the "helmet kiss" from the Iron Man 2 trailer [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPNADiSUEr0] that didn't make it into the theatrical release.Zontar said:OT: I think the thing which interests me the most about the movie is the fact that the trailers have a red herring of a scene which isn't even in the movie.

You two make a good point, but those scenes where also added into the dvd and Blu-ray release of both movies, where as I doubt the "you're being watched" scene will be for ASM2 given how it would distract from the real plot too much.Falseprophet said:It's already pretty common.

Disney wanted to make a Spider-Man cartoon. Sony was the obstacle preventing that because the license at the time gave Sony control of every Spider-Man appearance outside the comic books. So, Sony and Disney renegotiated the license that allowed Sony to keep the movie license in exchange for the television portion of it.MatParker116 said:Where the hell can they go with these spin off movies without giving Marvel reason to revoke there licence?
To put it simply, being female and not having powers are, individually, good signs your death is permanent... put them together, and its almost guaranteed, especially if its going to be a big motivational point for a male hero (look up 'women in refrigerators' for lots of examples).Andrew Siribohdi said:Very good episode, Bob. I think what the movie does kind of ruins it for me.
What I want to know is how comics were able to get away with Gwen's death. Like you said, Bob, most of us thought of Gwen as another origin death. But, given this character's significance for her death, if comics were to kill a love interest nowadays, or even a character, you'd almost bet your bottom dollar that character would get revived or there'd be a huge protest about it. (Remember #Bringbrianback?) So, how were comics, back then, able to kill off Gwen without some sort of retcon trying to bring her back, and if they were to kill a character now, how do they make sure that character stays dead without an online petition/protest popping up?
...Except even now, civilian deaths can be retconned to never have happened. Remember Aunt May and the whole Mephisto and One More Day stuff?Windknight said:To put it simply, being female and not having powers are, individually, good signs your death is permanent... put them together, and its almost guaranteed, especially if its going to be a big motivational point for a male hero (look up 'women in refrigerators' for lots of examples).
