specialkid8 08/07/19 4:27:32 PM #1:	There was the whole thing with Ant-Man back in the day where Disney didn't want Edgar Wright to make an Edgar Wright movie. But we also have stuff like Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor Ragnarok that, although they do still stay in the Marvel lane, they are very much products of their respective artist. Do you think Disney will let out the leash a little bit in the near future and let people do their own thing as long as they stay within the general lore and guidelines they have, or do you think they'll mandate what directors can do? With them digging into some goofier stuff going forward some unique director vision could be pretty good. <cite>specialkid8 posted [p:925760366] in Do you thi...

specialkid8 08/07/19 5:02:27 PM #3:	^Yeah, I think they were a bit scared to get away from the formula going into phase 2. They took their one risk with Guardians and it paid off but that was all they were risking. Now with both Guardians and Ragnarok being some of the highest rated and them being pretty much unsinkable at this point they might take a few more risks. <cite>specialkid8 posted [p:925761995] in Do you thi...

DeadBankerDream 08/07/19 5:05:52 PM #5:	Well Kenneth Branagh directed the first Thor And it was pretty bad. I wonder if they just didn't let him do anything at all or that was literally his creative vision for the film. I guess he may just not have had much consideration or knowledge of the material. --- "Your mother was a broken down tub of junk with more gentlemen callers than the operator." <cite>DeadBankerDream posted [p:925762152] in Do you thi...

You can definitely still see Wrights influence in Ant-Man, but I would have loved to see his full take on it That's one of my biggest what ifs. People can talk about the Snyder Cut all they want but the Wright cut of Ant-Man could have been something else. I wonder if he'd be willing to work with them again if they eased up a bit on that kind of thing. <cite>specialkid8 posted [p:925762240] in Do you thi...
