Y'know, as First Steps' release looms ever closer, I'm starting to realize that I think I'm most hype to see Vanessa Kirby's Sue Storm of all the main characters.

She seems like such a motherly Only Sane Woman in the trailer, and I really want to see just what kind of woman she is within her retro universe. I thought Jessica Alba was alright, don't get me wrong, but she doesn't have the weight of maturity and wholesomeness Kirby seems to have.

...Also I'm realizing how coincidental it is that one of the actors in this film has the last name Kirby in it. I wonder if The King would be amused by that.

That's a gorgeous poster. Probably done with AI too but gorgeous.

Please remember that, ultimately, fictional works of entertainment are just that.

It's not AI. It's human-made.

It was made by H.E.R.B.I.E.

[up][up][up] Making blind accusations poisons the water and makes it easier for people to actually get away with using AI. If everything's made with AI, people stop caring when actual evidence is presented. Don't do that.

It feels like I'm being told "Don't poison the waters" while at the same time a corporate line of trucks keeps on dunking toxic waste in the river right next to us as we speak so it's a pointless exercise anyway, but if that's how you feel...

[up] If you just wanna be angry and so totally hip, go ahead and keep doing that. If it's something you want to make people aware of, save it for actual abuse. The more you say something frivolously, the easier it is to ignore when it is a problem.

[up][up][up] To continue the analogy, if one keeps lifting up samples of pure river water and saying: "This is toxic waste!", people are more likely to stop paying attention to warnings about toxic waste. After all, if it's most often sound and nonsense, why would they pay heed? ...And thus may no longer notice the fact that it's being dumped into the river by the truckload...

Nice retro vibe. Reminds me of some 1960s-1970s French ads in magazines I used to read at my grandparents' home.

Looking at the poster, I definitely read in it a suggestion of multiple universes: each "4" being one universe, and with our heroes occupying one specific "4".

Y'know, I wasn't very impressed with Michael Giacchino's music for First Steps when it was first teased a while ago, but gotta say that it's really grown on me now. Very playful, yet majestic.

The teaser's nice too. I just wish we got to hear Johnny talk more so that we can put something other than "Hi!" in his Character folder caption...

So would we be thinking of another trailer or something along those lines at least around late May, going into June?

Rumor has it that the trailer will be later this month.

Would make sense to pair a new trailer with Thunderbolts' release.

Just read the Entertainment Weekly article on this film, and it's a really nice introspective on what they're doing with this movie. You can tell Marvel's really pouring a lot of money and effort into both the movie and the hype surrounding it.

To be fair, the 2005 for all of it's faults did well at the box office.

People are saying that Doomsday is "Marvel's last chance" which is stupid I know. But some people shifted to "FF is Marvel's last chance" which honestly, is a bit accurate. Marvel's standard formula being critiqued needs to have experimentation and if this experimental production isnt critically great, then I'll be Kevin Feige sweating bullets.
