Just saw the trailer. Pretty stoked, but looks like Marvel Studios is having budget cuts:
Come on out, Cap. It's okay.

The trailer is commendable and now i am just keeping my fingers crossed for the movie. To show my support for this movie, i have bought a jacket from this movie which can be found at Captain America Civil War Winter Soldier Jacket.
Do check this out!

I might actually have ungraft my behind from the couch and go see this on the 'big' screen. Saw the latest trailer and about wet myself. Liking the new Spidey suit--it has a simpler, retro vibe, like a seventies wall crawler. Not the big McFarlane bug eyes, nor the intricate Ditko web pattern--more that clean Romita look, like what was on all the lunch boxes when I was a kid.
Cannot BELIEVE all the Marvels in this flick. Feel just like in third grade again, seeing the ads for the first Secret Wars.
I love (not "loved", but still "love") Secret Wars!
Everyone in that series became part of my favorites for life.
Oh yeah. Classic.
Secret Wars II? Blehhh, not so much. Watching a jheri-curled Beyonder strut around in parachute pants trying to hypno-seduce Dazzler, ugh, no.
Same here. There are parts I like (mainly, the tie-in issues), but Shooter inserted so much detailed philosophy into the main series. He could have given the same message of a "god finding himself" with less words
Heh heh, Shooter thought he was God.
The tie-in issues all but killed me! Now not only did you have to read the nine-part limited series, you had to buy the other three or four books that tied into it each month to get the full story. What kinda gradeschooler has that much disposable income? A big, greedy money grab was all it was, and it started a trend that persists to this day.
Still...can't forget the scene where Peter Parker has to explain to the Beyonder how to take a dump. That's classy.
Shooter was so good in some things. I do miss the tight continuity he pushed for. Having snow during summer in most books when Thor's was dealing with the Casket was great.
He may have been a homophobe, he may have thought too much of himself, he did write Secret Wars II and he may have alienated writers with his hands on editing, but some of his results were very enjoyable, in my opinion. I think he also helped creators get more rights.
As for all the books in SW II, a gradeschooler may not have had enough money, but a software developer (me) had enough money to buy the Omnibus with all the books (except for ROM).
I'll say this for Shooter--he implemented better deals for all the creators under his regime, such as royalties and higher pay. That, and lots of great comics came out during his infamous tenure as editor-in-chief. But working for the man musta been Hell.
I mean, John Byrne threw a party where they burned Shooter in effigy, using a dummy constructed out of unsold New Universe books. Heh heh.
I love classic Byrne. And I may even agree with him in some (or many) things. But he may not be the best example when it comes to illustrating how working with others was like Hell.
