On way to see Avengers: Infinity War.

Hulk better not die.

It's an automatic F if he dies.

You can't do a review now, because your grade will give away if Hulk dies or not. :p

With all this talk of superheroes dying, does that mean they're gonna slow down making a billion of them? :p

It's April, by the way.

Does it matter who dies? What could be awesome is basically ruined by the meta marketing the studios do. When you know so many characters have announced sequels coming out, how can their death possibly have any gravity?

Now you are in a situation where killing them is even worse, because when you bring them back, it shows nothing you saw is of consequence.

That's when the show Supernatural started going sour on me. The lead characters have died so many fucking times. :p

Man.....I miss Reign. Dude always gave me a laugh. Even when he was giving me shit lol. If it wasn't for him and Zombs, when I first joined, I wouldn't have stayed a member. They both pmd me when Junior was attacking me from my very first post. I miss a lot of people from the board.

Are there any members you guys miss? I'd like to hear about people I didn't get to know but y'all did. (Pre-2010)

I miss Marco and Dave.
Admittedly the latter still comes around sometimes and is on Facebook, same as Jeff.

not that it means anything necessarily, but no announced sequels after spiderman homecoming part 2. captain marvel and antman and wasp are supposed to take place before infinity war. but again, not that it means anything. i haven't seen the movie too. so i'll avoiding as best as i can, until i do.

They have said Dr. Strange 2, Black Panther 2, GotG 3, and Black Widow are all in development.

Tiff was pretty cool (changed her name to Crazypyro when we started original HMF).
I thought Cham (Chameleon) was pretty cool, but it's been so long I really don't remember anything of him now. I don't think he even joined the original HMF. That's how long ago it was.
Terminerd was awesome. She was a year younger than me I think, and when we were like 16/17 she posted pics of her and she was exactly how I pictured. Odd. Thought she was really cute at the time.
ISU is awesome, but he's on facebook now. At least there's that, I guess. (Perhaps we should harass him to make a comeback).
Fucking EM is gone, too.

Post-2010, I miss Skullfracturingnightmare and Bastard. Skull was fun as hell to talk MMA with, but his contact info is gone now that the old board died. Otherwise he'd probably be posting here pretty regularly. Bastard just doesn't come around anymore.

And then of course we get the occasional Luna/Ava/HF/Boogs pop-ins.

They're spoiling their own movies by letting you know who doesn't die. :p

I miss Mike.

and solo dceu batman has been announced and retracted and lost directors and replaced directors, and put on hold how many times? announcing something is in some level of production does not mean that it is actually official. there was even an inhumans movie officially as part of the mcu roster, and it got ditched. so until something is actually official and filming, hold off?

also, how many movies has james bond not died in? and he's been in every single one. it's your guys' fault for thinking that death of a main character is the only way to have significant stakes.

I'm kicking Reign in the fucking balls when/if he decides to ever log in again. Mother fucker.

I can acknowledge a little bit of hypocrisy on my part, there. The quality of the film and the road that is built to get to the end of the movies is generally well-thought out, brilliant and entertaining. I can sit through 24 Bond flicks because the dialogue is intelligent and almost none of those movies are mindless CGI/action/blow-stuff-up crap. At least when you reach the super-mega-actiony part of Bond flicks, the car chases are actual car chases, not engineered through computers and crap. When I watch a superhero movies and the superhero is flying through the air shooting lasers or whatever, all I can picture is an actor on a string doing yoga.

To counter my own argument, I love seeing people enjoy things. D always gives a god damn A+ to like every movie he sees, but at least he's enjoying it and that makes me happy. :p

so then, it makes no never mind for you, who lives or who dies, or what the stakes are, cause you were already not invested from the go. (and i suspect that is true of foo, as well) but others are.

I was invested in 2008 when Iron Man/Dark Knight/Incredible Hulk came out. Those were fun to watch. Then it became the same old tired crap after so many movies. If the main girl is cute enough is when I decide I'll see it or not. :p

everyone has different views and tastes in film. sorry that it doesn't work for you anymore though.

This is why To Live and Die in LA is one of the most underrated movies of all time. There is follow through.
