I have read the book (and wouldn't recommend it). Your guess is about as far off as it can be.I dont know personally. Never read the book. But, the trailer and very concept seems to give away the "moral". to the point, why does this even exist?
Here, let me guess.
"turn of your video games, comics books, and go outside and do something for real."
2) What the fuck is the Iron Giant doing in this? That ain't 80's nostalgia. Now, if Spielberg made his son Max (born in 85) sit down and said "Tell me what would have been the coolest things you could imagine when you were 15", then I'd believe it.
more realistically, they swapped it for an IP they have the rights to. ready player one and Iron Giant are both Warner Brothers productions.My guess is that they swapped Iron Giant for Ultraman. Not enough American movie goers know Ultraman to have that nostalgic connection. Iron Giant on the other hand....
Just a random pop culture avatar in the final fight I bet.1) Am I supposed to know who Voldemort Hulk is? His well funded opponent?
I doubt it.Just a random pop culture avatar in the final fight I bet.
I read it a week ago, I think you are forgetting a few things.I doubt it.
I seem to recall some massive space battle "off-screen" between Evil Corp and team Protagonist because reasons (That's how little I recommend the book - I can't even name a character); that all the kids are wearing 101 gear suggests they're employees of Evil Corp and they've swapped out the finale for that. (The Delorean doors opening is almost certainly someone from Team Protagonist jumping out of their doomed vehicle and into the Delorean.) That Hulkemort is in both Scorpion shootout and Trackmania guarantees he is a named character, and him driving through his own team in Trackmania paints him as evil.
more realistically, they swapped it for an IP they have the rights to. ready player one and Iron Giant are both Warner Brothers productions.
i'm going to guess that instead of "80's nostalgia" the movie is just going to be "pop culture reference" because the halo assualt rifle is in there as well as harley quinn and deathstroke/deadpool so who knows.
