    My point about Jane is that there's no reason for romance to be part of her story at all. She and Thor dated, they had some fun, they broke up, and they moved on. Going back to it feels like a character regression for her. I could see Thor pining for her because he'd like some connection to his past that is intact, but I also see it as decidedly one sided.

     

    That could be where the whole Jane Foster having cancer angle comes in (if they preserve that aspect of the storyline at all).  Imminent mortality, even someone else's, staring one in the face has a way of snapping things back into sharp relief.  There's certainly the potential there to pull the both of them back together in a way that doesn't come off as a one-sided affair, if Taika can thread that needle.

    Neil Gaiman run.

     

     

    That's the only run I'm familiar with as well.  And it's supposedly the one they're leaning on the most for the movie.  And it makes sense, if you're trying to set up an entire group of enhanced beings who've been around in the MCU all this time but never got involved in any of it's goings on.  The Gaiman run would work quite well for that.

    Makes sense, but they didn't take so long to make some changes in Fox calendar.

     

     

    Of course it didn't.  You're talking about integrating two slates that, up until a few months ago, were planned by competing studios.  Some adjustments are more overtly necessary than others and there's not much sense in hem hawing around on those, particularly when it grants a longer production window for those films.  But what could be considered "dumping" a troubled acquired project doesn't necessitate immediately shifting a release date forward.  They can just as easily do that by limiting NM's planned reshoots, which have yet to happen, to pickups and letting it land on it's current date or push it a couple of weeks if they conclude a little more room between it and Mulan would be beneficial to the later.

    Seriously, if New Mutants is so garbage, horrible, unsaveable, why didn't Disney simply put it on Hulu? If the film is unsaveable, why are they still wondering what to do with it? If Disney is forced to release this "unsaveable piece of crap" in theaters, why haven't they released it on a limited theatrical run with little or no marketing?

     

    Not saying they will end up doing either of those things, but the deal for Fox has been closed less than 3 months.  It's not as if Disney's release slate has been thin during that time frame.  And their acquisition of Comcast's stake in Hulu hasn't even happened yet (and won't for an estimated 5 years).

    Don’t really trust Jeremy Conrad’s ‘exclusives’.

     

    It does seem like he just throws a lot of stuff at the wall an occasionally something hits the mark.  The mods for the Marvel Spoilers reddit won't even allow his stuff to be posted over there anymore (or Daniel Richtman's for that matter).

    Maybe the trolls just decided to give it up.... or maybe the troll problem just wasn't as big as it seemed to be, at least for the majority of films.... 

     

     

    It was never a big problem relative to the entire landscape, it's just that they always chose high profile targets.  Which is what prompted RT to make some adjustments.  Creating a perception of the audience score being unreliable up on high where everyone was watching has a spillover effect on how the integrity of the score is viewed for every movie.

    You should be an actor. You'll win a lot of Oscars. And you'll actually have a life.

     

    He might win 1 out of sheer persistence but he'd have to show some actual range to get more than that, and he has precious little.

    She's so overpowered and invulnerable that the most interesting story line from that would to see her either 1) go megalomaniacal like EGO   2) encounter a loss so big it breaks her like Thor or 3) how she reacts if she loses her powers (via Rogue etc)

     

    She's been shown to be prone to mental manipulation in her solo movie.  Now granted she ended up shaking that off by the end but that was tech based.  Someone doing to her what Wanda did to the rest of the Avengers in AoU could take a lot of the wallop out of her.
