Between Aquaman and The Little Mermaid, underwater scenes in movies have really gone to the next level. I was less as impressed with the underwater shots in Wakanda Forever, but there were still some cool moments in there. I hear the new Avatar movie is easily the best of all in this regard, so I look forward to checking that out as well.
I have always loved Stingray’s costume. Don’t care who you team him up with, I’ll love it. Great cover!
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I do feel I owe you an apology as, every time I see this Dolphin, I keep confusing her with Bottlenose Ecco from "Agents of the Abyss" (see STF #631).
ReplyDeleteIf the day ever comes that you pit them against the Death-dealer From The Depths, I will log in faster than you can say Jonathan Drew's real name!
"Adewale Akinnoye Agbaje?"
"Chewbacca O'Cool Jay?"
"Nescafe Choco-Latte?"
I agree with you about underwater filming. Oddly, most of the underwater scenes in Aquaman and The Little Mermaid were "dry-for-wet," while about half of those in Wakanda Forever were "wet-for-wet."
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see Dolphin paired with Flipper.
I'd also like to see a return of the Death-Dealer From The Depths.
(But not at the same time.)
The Death Dealer of the Depths was just name dropped on a cover, he's never actually appeared - so I'm not sure ho he's supposed to return... he only exists in my imagination.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly why he should.
ReplyDeleteCGI doing everything now. The youtube has Spock in a scene he was never in from ST Generations movie. This is going to get better since its entertainment money Hollywood wants.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mr. Greenwade. If it helps, you could modify an image capture of Frazetta's Death-dealer. Like, say, riding on a giant zombie seahorse!
ReplyDeleteP.S. @ Anon929: I take it you're half-seriously referring to Chuck Woody Iwuji? The groundhog member of Batch 19 who got edited out of the final print of the film?
ReplyDelete;-D
@Cary: Oh, I don't think DDD should ever actually appear, in that sense. Since it's someone Ross made up, he should always be off-panel.
ReplyDeleteSort of like the old Val Lewton philosophy; "What you don't see is sometimes scarier than what you do see."
ReplyDelete@Bob & Cary: Precisely! :-)
ReplyDeleteA good idea for a mash up would be Captain Atom, Firestorm, E-Man, Dr Solar, Hazmat, Wildfire, Red Star and Nuke (Squadron Supreme).
ReplyDeleteYou should also include Atoman, Atomic-Man, Atomic Thunderbolt, Nukla, Captain Atom (Atlas Publication).
DeleteAs in; "The Atom Mashers?"
ReplyDelete@Carycomic: The Groan Arranger returns.
