Again what are you going on about now?
That's just it. And it's not just a Disney issue. The problem comes in when you hire people who don't seem to care about respecting the source material. I don't care if you aren't some uber fan, but at least put in the effort to learn about the world, the characters, the lore... Or have someone who can help with that side of it.
100%! Just watch the mando season one round table discussion thing they did for D+. When you here Jon talk about star wars, you can instantly tell he cares about the ip greatly. Watch the interviews with everyone from the fallout show. The number one thing was respecting the franchise. And the people who didn't really know about it, learned. It wasn't like Halo where everyone said, no we didn't play the games or read the books. We just want to make our own thing. And what show was more successful?
All you have to do is look at the behind the scenes of the first Iron Man movie to see how its done. RDJ and Favreau literally making up the script as they go along, its a style of movie making that is very common in Hollywood.
Dunno, I disagree. We were just talking about Bay over in the Box Office thread. Does Bay not knowing the lore of the Transformers franchise, which by that point was decades old, make it somehow worse than if he did, no. So again I don't see it as a prerequisite to being a filmmaker on any of this projects.
Absolutely. Look no further than Gilroy and star wars rogue one. He came right out and said he doesn't care about star wars. Yet he made the best of the Disney star wars films in my opinion. Now that's more rare but it speaks to Gilroys ability as a filmmaker.
I’m not disputing that it’s a common way of making movies, just saying it’s got to make the directors job much harder and result in a lot of wasted film to adjust to changes.
Except improvisation is a fairly common directing style by letting the actors just go with a scene without being rigid and locked to the script. Maybe not the screenwriters favorite as it throws out their script for the most part, but it does lead to some great movie making.
It depends on the style of the director, some like the freedom of not being locked to a script. Others find discomfort in it as they like to be locked to the structure of the written page. So its all comes down to the directors vision and style.
First it was Jimmy Kimmel not Jimmy Fallon, and that was early in his career. He was also a very accomplished comic book writer for both DC and Marvel themselves. So he has the street cred to write for a Marvel movie. But you'd know that if you'd have done even a little research about something before posting these bad takes.
Dunno, I hear about it often that you'd be surprised. Heck, filmmaking during the editing process is also a style, I believe Kubrick was famous for that.
You think that is uncommon?
A lot of that was in the D+ show, but it is touched upon a bit in the movie though less than one would hope. I imagine that is some of the stuff that was taken out as the movie was refocused on other things during the reshoots. It however doesn’t take away anything from the importance of Sam being Cap and the pressure he feels and is displayed in the movie by taking up the Shield.
Admittedly I’m just an amateur Cinephile so don’t know all the terms for the different styles, just know they exist and can speak a bit about them. So don’t butcher me for not knowing the different names.
