And now another set of what could have been in MCU: The Avengers (2012) >Jon Favreau and Joe Carnahan were approached to direct before Joss Whedon was hired. Louis Leterrier volunteered, but was turned down. >Zak Penn wrote the original script, which he revised multiple times to accomodate developments from other movies, but Whedon decide to write a new draft when he signed on for the movie. >Penn's script featured the Avengers being assembled by SHIELD to fight Hulk, who had been brainwashed by Loki, before they join forces to defend the Earth from an invasion of the Frost Giants. >Penn's draft introduced Thor and Loki, as there were discussions to scrap his standalone movie and reduce his role in the MCU for being too tonally clashing with the other Earth-bound, science-based heroes. >Whedon created the concept of Thanos being Loki's benefactor as part of a greater plan. >Early drafts featured Ant-Man and the Wasp, who were removed when ANT-MAN was delayed. Whedon also had plans for Ultron and the Skrulls that were ultimately scrapped. >In early cuts, Iron Man would be revived by Thor's lightning after falling from the wormhole. Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo improvised Iron Man being awakened by the Hulk's roar. >Robert Downey Jr. ad-libbed most of his dialogue. >After Edward Norton's departure, David Duchovny was approached for Bruce Banner before Mark Ruffalo was cast. >Jensen Ackles was approached for Hawkeye before Jeremy Renner was cast. >Morena Baccarin and Mary Elizabeth Winstead auditioned for Maria Hill before Cobie Smulders was cast. >The movie was originally rated "R" for the scene where Phil Coulson is killed by Loki. To ensure the PG-13 rating, the blood was digitally erased, the stabbing was shortened and a reaction shot of Thor was added to break the continuous sequence of Coulson being stabbed and collapsing on the floor. >There were plans to tie into THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN by featuring OsCorp Tower in New York City's skyline, but a deal with Sony could not be reached in time. Iron Man 3 (2013) >Tom Hooper was approached to direct before Shane Black was hired at Robert Downey Jr.'s behest. >The Mandarin was envisioned as the main villain before Black pitched the concept of the him being a smokescreen for the real villain. >Maya Hansen was envisioned as the real villain, but producer Ike Perlmutter didn't believe a female villain would be profitable and made Aldrich Killian into the real villain instead. >Black's first draft for the movie was rated R and featured a subplot where Killian uses Extremis-enhanced pheromones to seduce Pepper, record their sexual encounter and broadcast it nationwide to taunt Stark. >Early drafts featured Stark joining forces with Dr. Chen Wu, a scientist whose family was kidnapped by the 10 Rings, to stop the Mandarin, but the concept was scrapped. >Early drafts featured a subplot about China producing their own Iron Man from stolen Starktech, leading to political tensions that the Mandarin would exploit to his benefit. >Jessica Chastain was originally cast as Maya Hansen, but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. Gemma Arterton, Isla Fisher and Diane Kruger auditioned before Rebecca Hall was cast. >Andy Lau was originally cast as Dr. Chen Wu, but dropped out due to creative differences and was replaced by Wang Xueqi and the role was severely reduced. >Jude Law was approached to play Killian before Guy Pearce was cast. >Anthony Mackie auditioned for Eric Savin before James Badge Dale was cast. He'd later play the Falcon. >IRON MAN 3 was the last movie in Robert Downey Jr.'s original four-picture contract, and was written as a definitive end for the character should Downey Jr. not renegotiate to play the character in further installments.

ok I HAVE to post this:

I'm always fascinated as to how far we come in terms of animation:

He is showing you de wey

Million reminding me how much I enjoyed Horde but grinding for more card slots is a pain. I still rock Engineer and Heavy.

Onky Disney can beat Disney it seems. Overall through IW deserves it. Saw it last night. Wow...that's all I got for now.

and now another set of what could have been in MCU: Iron Man 2 (2010) >Jon Favreau planned to adapt the "Demon in a Bottle" storyline, but the studio felt it was too dark. >Early drafts featured Justin Hammer as the main villain, manipulating brothers Ivan Vanko and Boris Bullsky into targeting Tony Stark in order to steal the Iron Man technology. Vanko would die during a fight with Stark in Monaco, and Bullsky would become the Titanium Man to avenge him. Further revisions made Vanko into the main villain and reduced Hammer to a supporting role. >Mickey Rourke created an elaborate backstory for Vanko to make him a more sympathetic character, but most of these scenes were cut to streamline the narrative. Rourke was displease and disowned the movie, swearing never to work with Marvel again. >Early cuts featured mutual sexual tension between Stark and Black Widow, which was scrapped as test-audiences felt it undermined his relationship with Pepper. >Early cuts featured an ending where Vanko forces Stark to surrender to him by kidnapping Pepper and is killed by War Machine with the ex-wife missile, which was scrapped as test-audiences felt it lacked action and stakes. >Emily Blunt was cast as Black Widow, but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts and was replaced by Scarlett Johansson. >Al Pacino was approached to play Hammer before the character was reinvented and Sam Rockwell, who had originally auditioned for Bullsky, was cast. >The cast once again ad-libbed most of their dialogue. Favreau was unhappy with the movie, believing that the rushed production schedule that didn't allow him to refine the script as much as he wanted, and declined to return for IRON MAN 3. Thor (2011) >Matthew Vaughn and Guillermo Del Toro were approached to direct before Kenneth Branagh was hired. >The first draft of the script was a dark epic set in the Viking Age and modeled after THE LORD OF RINGS, but was scrapped for being borderline unfilmable in terms of budget. >Liam Hemsworth, Charlie Hunnam, Joel Kinnaman, Alexander Skarsgard and Tom Hiddleston auditoned for Thor before Chris Hemsworth was cast. Hiddleston impressed the studio and was offered the role of Loki. >Josh Hartnett and Charlie Cox auditioned for Loki before Hiddleston was cast. >Brian Blessed and Mel Gibson were approached for Odin before Anthony Hopkins was cast. >Jessica Biel and Diora Baird auditoned for Lady Sif before Jamie Alexander was cast. >Alexander Townsend was originally cast as Fandral, but was fired due to his erractic behavior. Zachary Levi was approached to replace him before Josh Dallas was cast. >Early drafts featured Thor's human alter-ego, Dr. Donald Blake, but the concept was scrapped for being needlessly convoluted. >Early drafts featured Thor and Loki's other brother, Balder. >Early drafts featured an extended battle between Thor and the Destroyer which was scrapped due to budget.

and now a multi post info on what could have been in the MCU Iron Man (2008) >Several directors turned down the project, believing it would flop, before Jon Favreau was hired. Louis Leterrier was also interested, and subsequently directed THE INCREDIBLE HULK. >Timothy Olyphant, Sam Rockwell and Clive Owen auditioned for Tony Stark before Robert Downey Jr. was cast. >Rachel McAdams was approached for Pepper Potts before Gwyneth Paltrow was cast. >Early drafts featured Obadiah Stane only as Stark's estranged mentor. His descent into villainy would be explored over a trilogy. >Early drafts featured the Mandarin as a corrupt Chinese businessman who led the 10 Rings and created the Crimson Dynamo armor to fight Iron Man, before Jon Favreau decided to build up to him in a trilogy instead of Stane. >In early drafts, Stark would fight Stane in the prototype Mark IV armor, which includes a shoulder-mounted gattling gun and would later become the War Machine armor. >In early drafts, Stark would throw Stane into a vat of acid rather than have him caught in an explosion. When the armor is retrieved, Stane's body is gone, indicating he might have survived. >The movie was filmed mostly without a script, with actors ad-libbing most of their lines based on production guidelines. Production was so chaotic that both the cast and the producers expected the movie to be a disaster until test-screenings reported surprisingly positive audience reception. The Incredible Hulk (2008) >Mark Ruffalo was director Louis Leterrier's original choice for Bruce Banner, but the studio favored Edward Norton. >Norton declined at first, and only agreed on the condition that he could revise the script and that all of his contributions would be filmed. Most ended up being cut after poor reception at test-screenings. Norton clashed with Leterrier and the producers throughout production. >Norton was a fan of THE WIRE and added a subplot about a man played by Michael K. Williams, who reaches out to the Hulk during the Battle of Harlem to stop the destruction. The subplot was almost entirely cut and Williams' role reduced to a cameo. >Norton also added an extended comedic sequence where Banner interacts with a computer geek while trying to retrieve data from the Culver University. Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Jason Segel, among others, were approached for the geek before the scene was scrapped and the geek reduced to a cameo, played by Martin Starr. >Stan Lee would originally cameo as the captain of the USS Excelsior, a fishing boat that Banner and Betty Ross hire to take them to Manhattan. >In early cuts, the Hulk decapitates the Abomination. This was changed due to poor reception at test-screenings. >In later cuts, the Abomination would be locked up in The Vault, a meta-human prison developed by Tony Stark, but the scene was scrapped in favor of Stark’s meeting with Ross about the Avengers Initiative. >Hulk was envisioned as the main villain of THE AVENGERS at the time, hence the ending were Banner flashes a sinister smile as he begins to transform again. >Leterrier pitched a cameo appearance by Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker, bumping into Banner at Empire State University, but Sony Pictures rejected the idea. >Ray Stevenson auditioned for Emil Blonsky before Tim Roth was cast.

Random but has anyone actually ordered or bought something to compared items only to return it afterwards? Simply put I bought two items on Amazon since I cannot find them in a random store to compare and I plan to return the one I won't keep. is it odd to do so?

Watching Saturday

Speaking of shit, I dropped a perfect log so large at work it wouldn't go down. The log was perfectly laid across the hole in the toilet so it wouldn't get sucked in...I ran off and hope no one knew it was me. true story.

I deleted Facebook years back...I have no need for it as it was a way for those I thought were my friends were merely continuing the popularity contest that to them wanted to never end. After deleting it, it proved that none of them really wanted to keep in touch. I have no use for Instagram and twitter or anything else. IF I ever have to use it, it would be for business use in the future and nothing more. I don't want my life to be an open book to everyone. While I never feel I have anything to hide, I always value the right to one's privacy. only most used would be Youtube and that I will use for also business and entertainment here and there.

@23:30 oh man Million will crack up at that mark. I didn't know Verne Troyer was this slick and cheap with women. Mad props and RIP man.

Doritos Cool Ranch and Lays BBQ are my go to chips.

From the One Piece reddit...

http://thathashtagshow.com/2018/04/emma-fuhrmann-joins-untitled-avengers-as-cassie-lang/ 16-year old actress Emma Fuhrmann will portray Cassie Lang, the daughter of Scott Lang/Ant-Man, in 2019’s Untitled Avengers film. After initially noticing the addition on IMDB, we reached out to a source for confirmation of Fuhrmann’s casting and were told that the young actress did indeed fill the role of Cassie Lang during some scenes. We were unable to confirm if Abby Ryder Fortson, the 10-year old actress who plays Cassie in both Ant-Man and Ant-Man and The Wasp, was also on set.

LOVE the Splatoon soundtrack!

Anyone think Static Shock should return? if so as an animated show? I wanted to suggest live action but then again it would overlap too much with black lighting. I'd also like to see years from now Green Lantern revived but with John Stewart. Fuck Hal.

It's like so many people don't realize that nearly every place you visit will keep tabs on what you click on and what you browse.

Starfire was never white anyway because she's an alien and orange! I could care less who plays her as long as they make it look good. That live action one looks like shit.

I want this to be super dumb...so dub it's hilarious

I'm predicting Ironman Cap Loki and Vision. Based on how the previews look. At the least Ironman and Cap will barely survive long enough to see the next movie then die there. Bonus bet Loki will be first to die.
