They should be grateful they get a second chance at a last goodbye. Because Dark Phoenix was poo. eta: i do think this looks pretty good though, and looks like another of those superhero films where you dont need to see 100000 films bbefore hand to appreciate. Which appeals to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 That looks pretty good. They fucking NAILED Magik. Like, did they get the magic ticket from Last Action Hero and just pull her out of the comic, or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumHam Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Huh. Dr. Strange 2 director quits/is fired over creative differences. I don't really know much about Derrickson nor was I a huge fan of the first one. But it's kinda disappointing this is still happening over there. He did tweet something weeks ago about wanting to push back the release date but Marvel wouldn't let him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I’ve heard he has a big of an ego, no planet pun intended, but who knows. Waiting to see replaces him before I panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting to see replaces him before I panic. I'd love to hear about producers and directors who don't have a big ego. That really seems like part of the job description - you're basically being told to tell everyone what to do, that your vision is the right one, and that's what they pay you for. This, IMO, is a big reason SW has such a problem - no one cares if Dr Strange 2 doesn't do amazingly, any more than they cared about Ant Man and the Wasp. It'll be a fun ,forgettable movie. When you're pumping out 22+ movies or so, it doesn't matter how well one of them does provided it doesn't do horrifyingly bad. Mediocre is fine.

The Mother of The Others Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Was he insisting that one of the universes be a breast feeding universe? "It's essential to what we're trying to do here! Seeing it is what reminds Wanda she's lost her TV children and it drives her over the edge! And the scene includes a tit-for-tat joke I'm not willing to compromise on." Ron Howard used to be the amazing guy. People would describe him as amazing in the same sentence they called him Opie.

Heartofice Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Dr Strange 1 was one of my least favourite Marvel movies, but there seemed to a lot of buzz that the second one would be a big improvement, that it would be much more trippy and insane. That seemed quite exciting, so it's a shame that this has happened. Maybe he was being too daring with it? Maybe the Disney execs have again gotten scared and will hire someone to come in and play it safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Word is he wanted to make it a straight up horror. Not surprised Disney nixed that idea, would be an absurd thing to do considering they need to maneuver him into being a tentpole figure for a family franchise.

Myrddin Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Could also be that Wandavision is dictating the beginning of Dr S 2. It's one piece in the larger puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I didn’t mean it as an insult, I mean James Cameron is my favorite director. But can you imagine someone like Cameron being told he can’t do something?

polishgenius Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 You've got to have some level of ego but if you sign up to a franchise movie you also have to accept that yours is not the primary creative direction. Also you've got to match your ego to your level of talent and let's face it Scott Derrickson is at best a very average director who did okay but nothing special with the first movie. It's not as if we're losing Gunn from the franchise he carved out or even the what-could-have-been of Edgar Wright from antman. Chances are pretty good whoever replaces him will be better.
