It seems they are going to reference mostly WB owned IPs or at least American media which makes sense, Iron Giant seems to be a substitute of Ultraman from the books

>>94077020
Does WB own Akira? Because the bikes in the trailer were the bikes from Akira.

>>94076649

The Iron Giant is apparently a main character in the film, though, anon. At that point, if we count MCU movies as /co/, this should count too.

>>94077020
iron giant was in the book, it's just one book, not 'books'

and it was confirmed that non WB stuff will be in, Spielberg only said that he's gonna avoid adding his own stuff to the film

I dont give a shit, it's a story that's still lazily using all these fucking nostalgic ticks when they could've fucking done something original, this is taking up production time in a big ass studio when multiple other smaller projects that are original could be getting made.

The point isnt wether its good or not, the idea in and of itself of just fucking masturbating over all this pop culture shit, and dont pretend that isnt exactly what they're doing, is explicitly harmful to actual original ideas.

Anime has a hard time making new shit because the audience are a bunch of pandered to nostalgics that want the same overtly self referential shit, hollywood movies have been "subverting" cliches for so long that subversion is cliche, and now we've reached the point where literal fucking fanfiction is wasting everyone's resources by being brought to life like this.

Fuck you.

>>94077020
>It seems they are going to reference mostly WB owned IPs
To me, this is part of what kills the "It's a world of imagination!" concepts. The world of imagination just happens to be limited to 90% Warner Brothers properties.

I know it can't be helped because studios don't like to swim in the same pool together, but it's why I appreciate it much more when stuff like Roger Rabbit try to set those quarrels aside to make the world actually feel seamless.

Only the boss, IIRC.

Also, the MC and main heroine(in the book at least) are chubby teenagers, and the MC's life-long best friend turns out to be a black lesbian.

Oh wow it finally happened. After all this time

>>94077442

That fucking sequence was garbage.

>>94078694
Yes, as opposed to all the adaptations of books and comics and sequels that are coming out.

>>94078694
it's not a Iron Giant film, it's a movie of a book where people play VR online multiplayer game and people mod stuff in

>>94078694
Well yeah, they had to adapt a book to a movie instead of writing an original script. They've been doing it with comics and books for years now,

>>94078760
That doesn't make it any better dipshit.
>>94078750
And those are just as awful

>>94078746
to each his own I guess, ultraman fighting evas fighting godzilla fighting megazord was stuff that regularly happened in my room when I was a kid playing with my toys, was cool to read about it and it will be cool to see it on the big screen

>>94078790

It's all nostalgic name-dropping with no substance or any real fun. It's just vignettes of our childhood rolled in glitter and tossed on a screen for ad dollars. There's no fun to be had in any of it, because its entire purpose is to remind you of how old you are and how your childhood is dead.

Oh I'm well aware of where I am... but the salt levels in this particular discussion are off the fucking charts.

Its a movie, based on a book... the book had tons of nostalgia elements in it... so the movie does as well, go fucking figure.

Let the screeching continue.

>>94079193
I suppose it's no fun if you spin it that way. I just looked at the trailer as a visual form of us smashing together our toys that came from totally separate franchises, which only stops being fun if you let it.

>>94079235
Me personally, I think this defence of the film is very cool.

>>94079266
pretty much this, typical marveldrones/disneycucks shitting up anything WB and DC related per usual

>>94079272
oh yeah well you're wrong because i disagree.
>they will try to argue against this
lul

>>94079235
Except ET came out when Star Wars was at the height of its popularity and Spielberg was good friends with Lucas. This movie is referencing pop culture that hasn't been popular in decades. It's pure nostalgia and the people nostalgiaing over it weren't even old enough or alive to remember the references.

Even if the whole point of the book/film is to expose the audience for how obsessive they are for nostalgia, people are still only going to see it for the references and go buy more of the Pop Vinyls they will undoubtedly roll out for this film.

And then they'll say 'Oh it was so clever how they twisted it at the end!' pretending it was a deep message. Fuck I hate this film already.

>>94079786

No, more like WB and Disney can't work it out. WB is putting DC stuff first and foremost. Lego got the ability to have a marvel cameo in their movie and when disney found out batman was a main character the two companies couldn't work it out. They allowed star wars because its, well, star wars.

It looks like the kind of thing that I'll probably love for the science fiction premise and elements, and then despise the fans of it rambling on and on about nothing but the references.

I am a bit of a sucker for these kinds of dystopian fiction stories with flawed utopian havens in alternative worlds.

Tsubaraya just wants Ultraman to be loved by the US as far as I can tell. They'd probably be down. It has it's own copyright issues though that I'm not entirely sure about that will likely get in the way. WB has film rights for Goji right now though so that could be smoothed out rather easily.

Leopardon is certainly not going to happen though. I bet it will be the Justice Buster or a similar Batman mecha. Something that complements Leopardon at the very least.

On a side note was Kamen Rider in the book? I don't want America to touch it.

Completely pointless and leads nowhere.

Its made to be this HUGE fucking twist, but all you can think is of how completely irrelevant it is to the story and how weird it is that she spend years with him and kept it a secret for no reason at all.
I was sure it will be a swap of love interest with how much fucking time is wasted on it, but nope, its just a throw away plot thread that wont get more than 50 words in that shitty half page epilogue we get.

Jesus fuck just stop it. i was capable of tolerating GotG and wreck-it Ralph because they at least tried to have a plot or be original in some way (both are shit though).

this shit. it's like one of those retarded fanfics where the autor meshes fucking everything with some retarded "plot" barely holding the mess together. but the worst part is when you take away all the references and look at what's left: the most bland, generic story of underdog MC fights big bad evil (corporation) and becomes the best ever and gets the girl.it's fucking disgusting how it rides entirely on fucking references and nostalgia.
if it's to watch something with this premise, might as well watch the first Bayformers, at least you have Optimus murdering shit in it.

Stop being a baby. It exists, it's bad, and it's fun to make fun of.

What I vaguely remember from this book is the level of wish fulfillment being utterly disgusting.

>>94079873
>I think the book really lacks self-awareness on this front.
But the book states how it degrades ppl life all over the story, from the protagonist to Halliday who became so antisocial he literally died with no one

The book was garbage that read like TVTropes and Fanfiction.net had a baby. And also it was disingenuous as fuck, there's no way the author was actually into every single reference he spouted, not by a longshot. It's more like he just googled and wiki'd obscure shit to fill his book to the brim because that was all it had going for it.

I don't know what Neil Cicerisususudio is like as a person, so maybe there's a certain nuance here which is simply beyond my understanding, but it's weird to see that from a guy who coasted on Ultimate Showdown and Harry Potter Puppet Pals and like 50 Smash Mouth remixes.

>all those cool /m/ cameos
>warner is gonna jew and add the most cheapest knock off and not reference japan

that's the reason why iron man is in the movie in first place, they don't want to pay to make japanese culture cameos.

>>94078624
They were hoping Wilder might agree to cameo as the guy but no one knew he was on Death's door at the time, or at least didn't admit to it publicly.

You wouldn't think a VR utopia wouldn't devolve into memes, SICK REFERENCES BRO and bullshit? I mean, Where do you think you are? Hell they called this shit before the Internet was even a thing.

>>94085999
Not easy to get the rights. Also Spielberg apparently said there's going to be changes to tone, theme and references which is for the best since the book is utter trite.

>>94077323
The entire point of the book is how obsessing over nostalgia and dated culture turns you into a hollow pseudohuman; or did the part where the world being shit being directly linked, from the first act, to one autistic faggot's obsession with the 80's fly you by?

There was Freddie Kruger too. Looks like a mashup of other cinematic works. I'm not saying it's a bad thing though

>>94086135
The real problem here is that it's written like shit.

>>94077707
You are a sad, bitter little person, aren't you?
Just don't go see the movie.
Go see whatever art-house bullshit you jerk off to and let people have fun. Vote with your wallet, other people making something they like and think will sell harms you exactly 0%.

my god you are a fucking chode.

This picture goes perfectly with the text beside it. Congrats on making such an excellent trollpost. This level of pretentious hatred for anything popular, combined with the exact correct tone of pencil necked snobbish elitism, makes for a biting satire of the ridiculous contrarian manchild culture around these parts.
Bravo.

But don't you understand? Normies (tm) and Reddit will know things about muh sekret club now!!!?!?!?!?! IT'S RUINING MY CHILDHOOD, WHY ARE THERE NO ORIGIONAL IDEAS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

>>94080166
It's a book about how people in modern society use nostalgia and memes to fill the void left by a complete absence of meaningful human interaction in their lives. If it feels like it's pandering, that means it's working.

>>94082978
New ideas emerge by smashing so many old ideas together that you can no longer distinguish the individual antecedents clearly. This has been the truth since the first stories.
