Mod Post - Frame Rates

We tried this a couple of months back, and though I didn't think it proved popular enough to be a very regular feature, this being the weekend of D23 (The major Disney Expo) there are a few movie and TV related bits of comic book news that might be of interest.



First up, the opening titles for the Big Hero 6 cartoon have been released

I think I'm going to like this.

Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet

We've had our first glimpse of what the Infinity Gauntlet will look like in the movie



Some new characters for the bad guys were revealed too. In case people want to avoid spoilers, I'll link, but not post to the images. Here they are, if you want to see them

The Tick (2017) trailer is also out.

The Gifted

Something which seems to have slipped into the schedules almost unnoticed with the kerfuffle over "Inhumans", is the new Fox series, "The Gifted", which features several X-Men chartacters and is set in the X-Men universe.

The brief character trailers have been compiled here but the poster has requested no embedding, so if you want to see them, go to the link.

Slightly odd choice of established characters perhaps (Polaris, Thunderbird and Blink?) and new ones Eclipse, and the name Strucker is asking for trouble (A little too close to Von Strucker, unless it's going to turn out that the kids have an Auntie and Uncle who go by the name Fenris or something) but I like the idea of Sentinel Services (Which does sound like the way such a program would be intorduced rather than "Let's cut straight to the forty-foot tall murder-bots".

And so we're not totally based on US products, the final trailer from Luc Besson's "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets" based on the French bande dessineé series "Valerian and Laureline" by Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières.

I do hope they can add some personality to the other four members of Big Hero 6. I was very disappointed that they were basically cardboard cutouts in the movie. If they could maybe retcon Tadashi's death such that it becomes more of a heroic attempt to rescue someone from a burning building and less of a suicidal jumping into a fire, that would be great, too.

Well, the episode format allows for greater character focus, and I did see on Tumblr the concept art for Honey Lemon's bedroom, so we should be seeing more of them.

Some of the names still bug me, Honey Lemon and Wasabi in particular, but there's not a lot I can do about that.

Not sure I'd touch Tadashi's death , he thought the Professor was still in there, he went running in, that IS a heroic attempt IMHO.

(My peeves about the movie was why didn't Hiro seek to over-ride control of the microbots from Yokai... or use the ones that had fallen into the other dimension to build something to get him and Baymax out?)

All they have to do is tone down the fire to where Tadashi is running into a burning building and not just jumping directly into the flames. More like the burning building in the Incredibles and less like a bonfire. Something where it was believable that he could really believed he could have run in and pulled someone out.

EDIT: the way the fire was animated, it seemed less like taking a bullet for him and more like shooting yourself believing that it will allow you to save someone who's been shot
