It's Pom's birthday
TIME FOR MANTIS THREAD
Cute!
She belongs to Spiderman only
i love her big eyes
You shouldn't mock people for being ugly.
Movie Mantis and cartoon Starfire are the same character, change my mind.
They're my waifus.
Can I breed with her?
I almost agree, it's more like Movie Mantis is an introverted version of Starfire
I want to marry and impregnate Pom?
For some reason it never occurred to me that her antennae were CGI.
No? Starfire is super outgoing, has minimal shame and no sense of restraint, and is borderline fearless. Mantis is reserved and we'll... None if those things.
>Your feeling....love
For Mantis!
She's a empathetic right?
Yeah. Though I'm sure they could make it a practical effect.
my thoughts as well
Penis Parker is stuck with his uggo gf and he wouldn't even know what to do with a REAL woman anyway
same here
>>Pom's Birthday
Hopefully better than 2 of her other birthdays...
>>Shown in all female lineup
>>Disappears when they're charging
I almost expect this to be a gag in GOTG 3 where they revisit the scene but she just sort of stays back.
Worst scene in the fucking movie.
I'm fine with female power and all that sort of stuff but this was incredibly hamfisted. Having Wanda, Widow and Black Panther chick fighting the Black Order in the middle of Wakanda felt completely natural and well executed. I don't even think any these characters were familar with one other prior to that point outside of Nebula and Mantis.
They have to be on account that they move and glow.
They could rig a practical headprop I guess, but they'd have to hide the controls and set up for it somewhere under her costume which would probably be uncomfortable.
She does have a brief action bit in an earlier part where she flips onto one of the big ape things and SLEEPs it. But yeah she makes a bunch of kung fu poses but never actually fights.
Which is weird. Comic Mantis is capable of all kinds of fancy martial arts, and even if they don't do that you'd think they'd give her a gun or something.
DABBING HULK IS IN THE HOUSE TONIIIIIIGHT
I for one welcome Mantis having more friends!
Not to mention that even cosplayers struggle with the Mantis design, making the forehead too bulbous.
That was actually a fun scene though. Good for demonstrating Banner's development over the time skip.
I can fap to this.
There was a point, after the initial conversation in that scene, that I just started laughing cause the Hulk was talking normally.
It's the same thing that happened in Captain Marvel when the Skrull was just talking in the house.
Something about monsters just talking normally just makes me laugh
Is it weird that I prefer Pom in Mantis getup moreso than her usual self?
Same goes for Karen Gillian in Nebula getup.
I can get that.
Pom is fucking cute though.
>grrrls bad
>Dabbing is actually cool now, actually.
never change Yea Forums
Me too kinda. It's just that I hate her in blonde hair
I am a man of equal tastes, who love the all female scene and the dabbing. Thus making all your opinions...plebeian.
It was demonstrating Bruce was still an awkward goofball despite the massive change. Dabbing is still dumb as all hell.
Yeah, blonde just doesn't work on her.
I think it might be her natural hair color.
No one thinks dabbing cool aside from children. Which is the point of the scene.
It just showed that Banner came to terms with himself to be corny but amiable.
The issue isn't "grrrls bad", the issue is, like other people pointed out, that half of them don't even know each other and it was contrived as all hell. If you don't understand that nuance, then chances are you're Yea Forumsmblr.
she's good both ways
Speaking of the Old Boy Remake, anyone find it funny that Olsen and Pom worked together both on that and Ingrid Goes West?
Am I the only one who sees the irony that they pluck Mjornir from the past so Cap can use it in the final battle, and yet that is less forced than the all female teamup moment?
I think that moment came out of Reshoots. Or that "All teh female actresses surround Kevin Feige"
Granted, I love the scene, cause I like Mantis...
my theater erupted at that scene, I think I may have actually jumped out of my seat
Did the trailers for vol. 2 hype Mantis at all? Was there even a press release for her casting? When I watched the film on premiere weekend, I thought she was just going to be a one-and-done character. I was surprised she ended up becoming a new member of the GOTG and having a semi-important role in Infinity War.
She was featured in them and was promoted as a new member but then so were Nebula and Yondu despite Nebula leaving and Yondu dying. But Mantis was knocked out for the whole finale and it seemed like they just brought her for the sake of saving her and while she was still there in the end, so was Kraglin and he didn't stick around.
So yeah her being promoted as a member of the main group of Guardians in IW was kind of surprising.
This is super effective. How can she be this cute?
Because we love her.
Mantis is for rough sex
Mantis is for post-marriage procreation sex.
>my feet hurt
>damn she's disgusting
>are my knifes too short?
>the tree leaves his twigs all around the ship
>I miss my family
>not "my nipples hurt"
those are some serious puppies
I want to do lewd things to and with them.
Asians aren't naturally blonde.
Pom is naturally perfect.
This wasn’t even a fucking dab.
What happened to her other birthdays?
Muh dick
same
Based and Englehartpilled.
I checked wiki and apparently her brother killed himself on her 25th birthday
Don't know about the other birthdays tho
Poor cutie
Her mother also killed herself but at least it wasn't on her birthday.
I want to hug Pom so badly now, she deserves all the love.
She's Russian, French, Korean and Canadian. She gets whatever natural hair colour she wants.
Her casting was announced pretty widely as Mantis, which was telling cause the other actors were kept secret in their roles. There was also the first concept art of the team with Mantis in the back, then the first trailer having a tease of her touching Quill scene. But beyond that, they kept her pretty minimal in the advertising outside "The Crabby Puppy makes me want to die", she doesn't say anything or is shown off.
Gunn actually wanted to have both Adam Warlock and Mantis join the team in Vol 2, but he couldn't fit Warlock into the story structure that didn't feel force. Mantis came more naturally in the plot.
>this taste.... is the taste of a liar!, drax the destroyer
I'm gonna run this shit down
>>Pom's father died when she was like 5
>>Mother was schizophrenic, so she lived with her aunt and uncle.
>>Uncle died on her 15th birthday
>>Brother committed suicide on her 25th birthday
>>Choose to go into acting, despite her aunt pleading for her not to, because Asians do not go far in Hollywood.
>>The whole James Gunn firing situation.
Pom deserves all the success that comes her way, cause that woman has nerves of steel!
Yikes! Gunn is a creep for sure.
The funny thing about that Instagram post is that it's the first time James appeared on Instagram since the firing.
She and Keanu Reeves would make a good couple.
I cum more naturally because of Mantis.
What happened to Keanu Reeves?
>Asians do not go far in Hollywood
>All the male martial artists like Jackie Chan and Jet Li
>Lucy Liu
what
John Wick is a tortured soul both on and off screen.
Found the virgin.
To be fair he can have a fucking harem is he wants.
Was Gamora in the girl power lineup?
I thought she fucked off after kicking Quill in the jimmy
You're joking, right? Jackie Chan and Jet Li had to get their starts in China, and even then, they never really took off in America like they did in their homeland. Jackie Chan stressed how tedious it was to work in American films cause they would always edit down the fight sequences.
Lucy Liu had like 2 roles anyone remembers her for. Charlies Angels and Kill Bill. She only CBS Sherlock now and pretty much vanished from public conscience.
Asians don't go far in Hollywood at all and the ones that do tend to vanish pretty quickly.
Found the rapist.
Smart Hulk was a gift I didn’t know I want.
Shit...he and Pom are tortured souls.
She's there, with Nebula.
Pom is for hugging, kissing and all the love in the world
I wouldn’t be opposed to this if they showed the girls having some sort of connection; this feels like they all teleported from nowhere just for this cheap scene.
I love that she and Karen Gillan hit it off so well. It's why I think they had Nebula send the call to Mantis in IW.
Also, Evangeline Lilly is very vocal about wanting to work with her.
1:10 in
I want to experience all of this and so much more with her.
Best girls in the MCU.
I want a tall redhead wife like Karen. Or just Karen herself, actually.
Her scenes in Jumanji gave me a hard boner.
She has that effect on me in general. That and I didn't see Jumanji.
Pom is a cute
She's not just a cute, she's the cutest.
Imagine the smell.
Guys,Guys if she is your wife you can do both
MUH DICK
I want to marry her!
What hasn't happened to Keanu?
Did big dick Dave give Pom the pipe?
>Girl Power Scene
>Without Black Widow
absolutely disgusting.
now THESE two, they are a good couple
They could be roommates with Kelsey Grammer.
>those sunglasses that look like they could be part of the Wasp outfit
Noice.
I was involved in the production of the film 'Point Break' In 1991. During the filming, Keanu Reeves (whose role involved playing rookie FBI agent 'Johnny Utah') was surfing with co-stars when a small child was dragged under the waves and began to struggle to stay above surface.
As his co-stars rushed to help, Reeves held out an arm in front of them, stopping them and was reported saying by Lori Petty (who played the character Tyler Endicott in the film) "The waves have claimed her, let her fight for her own life". The crew, dumbfounded, proceeded to watch her struggle until her body disappeared beneath the waves, lifeless.
We later spotted him outside the child's house, making drowning gestures and thanking the family for their child's sacrifice to the great ocean.
god, they are so adorable
Best girl bump. Such a cutie pie.
I laughed at this, surprisingly hard.
Jesus christ it's a mantis get the fuck away from that
You guys are misinterpreting it. It's not a girl power scene. It's a bitches love Spider-Man scene disguised as a girl power scene!
Fucking brilliant.
Okay, so real talk:
Should Mantis be with Peter now that Gamora is ded
or should her be with Nebula, to help her know how it is to love and be loved?
I think this is a real important question
Let's just say John Wick is only partially a fictional story
Someone had to stay with Spider-Man
you dummy, the answer is drax mantis galactic "buddy cop" romp with with nebula
>She's a no nonsense cop who puts makes the perp feel guilty
>He's the strongest man in the galaxy who can disappear in an instant
based
heh, i can live with that
He wasn't supposed to be cool with the dabbing, you retard. It was showing what a fucking dork he is for doing it.
>Drax takes his daughter and the girl she likes on a space trip
>Mantis asks Drax for help on how to talk to Nebula
>says the weirdest, most awkward shit
>Nebula finds it cute as hell but doesn't want to admit it at first
>Drax and Nebula bond over having their lives ruined by Thanos, he eventually approves the relationship
>Mantis helps Nebula in her healing, physically and emotionally
This has solid potential
If the only way you've seen this movie is through contextless shitposting on Yea Forums, then yeah, they're both bad
In context, only the "HEY REMEMBER WHEN WOMEN???" scene is bad
>do they share the same background?
poor poor mantis
The scene was designed to evoke cringe and discomfort, and the dab only helps to further drive that home.
I love Mantis because she is a cute womanchild
youtube.com
youtube.com
What do these videos have in common beside the dabbing?
youtube.com
Karen Gillan seems to have good chemistry with a lot of her coworkers.
Yep, definitely her and 2003!Starfire would be besties day one.
TTGO!Starfire would probably kill her or something.
Mantis is for filling with Spider seed
This guy snatched em.
What kind of an asshole kills themselves on their sister's birthday? Just pick literally any other day, you "me me me" attention-deficit faggot.
The chick from pacific rim.
Fuck him, it's a good thing Pom seems to be happy now. She deserves every single hug she gets.
Did this game ever stop being shit?
I liked the concept and some of the character interactions were a lot of fun, but the game itself was just garbage.
Fucking multiclassing!
I swear if the Cinemasins line dor that scene isn't "LOOK AT THE SIZE OF SPIDER-MAN'S HAREM" I'll be upset
>watching cinemasins
You didn't even know her name!
>becomes less sexy as you gain ranks
Who comes up with this shit?
Yeah, pretty much.
Not even close dude. You can excuse that as Banner trying too hard to show off for his fans, which is totally in character.
You will.
MCU has been able to cast incredibly sympathetic and interesting female characters that are waifu materials, played by apparently decent human beings
And yet the characters they push the most are played by stuckup bitches like Johansson and Larson
>And yet the characters they push the most are played by stuckup bitches like Johansson and Larson
Johansson seems nice though.
Literally who? Even you didn't name her.
This pic makes her look like she's got a mastectomy
The Skrull thing is funny because he just pops up from no where and basically says "Chill bitch, we wuz good n shit" despite her having killed half of his limited crew a couple of hours ago. He just pops up in the house, drinking a soda like nothing ever happened.
Cap with the hammer will never not make me cream my pants and hop up and down like a girly faggot.
Recently watched GOTG 2 for the first time after hearing for the past couple of years that she Drax's love interest.
After seeing the movie: what. Are people retarded? Anyone who thought that after seeing their unambiguous father-daughter type relationship in GOTG 2 should be shot into fucking space.
You might be gay
i imagine this scene was more for the kids/little girls since this still a Disney movie
Maybe he forgot what day it was
...Is she a real life Takeshi Kovacs?
Peter and Mantis should be a thing with Gamora out of the picture.
Consider the following.
That's why I think it'd be great if her and Peter got together: Drax would then start treating him like a son-in-law.
As much as I'd like that I'm pretty sure they're half-siblings in the MCU.
They're not. Kurt Russell found her as a larva and raised her from that.
Man we could have these guardians. I mean I like cute weird mantis but Andy Dwyer lord is just...
I was really hoping that the events of GotG 1 & 2 would lead Quill to becoming more sarcastic to cover up massive surivivor's guilt but IW rolls around and he's still le quippy manchild.
god i wish there was a full doujin for this
CUTE, CUTE AS FUCK GODDAMNIT
Is it just me, or does she look like a different person with each haircut?
2 is good, but 3 is terrifying.
Also, she was apparently painted orange in auditions.
Actually, Mantis was supposed to be one of Ego's children. There's a deleted scene of a woman being Mantis' mother.
WAS SUPPOSED TO and IS are two very different things. Stories always go through countless changes.
not giving heatpats to a mantis
what are you? a faggot?
>mfw i will never feel those nipples
I was surprised how cute she was
love her embrace of Mantis
Mantis is a cutie pie
>Mantis was a BAF
that was just dumb, Hasbro.
I think Gunn is leaving the door open for that. Cause the hints are still in the film.
BTW, Gunn says this isn't the big easter egg of the film.
I know! I could only get a $60 one cause a lot of the torso's were busted and the left arm keeps falling out.
is she the closest thing to a moe anime girl in MCU?
>Kawaii
>Big eyes
>desire to protect
Yes
>tfw only had the legs for about 8 months until the wave started appearing in discount stores for 5 bucks a pop
Bless 30 dollar Mantis
Also, there was an artist doing head sketches at my local shop today for Free Comic Book Day. So for another 5 bucks, I now have a neat little sketch of Mantisfu.
IW is 3 years after GotG2 so he's probably over it by now.
So they gave him something new to angst about.
I want to marry her.
I don't mind some angst. Even comic Quill had a lot to sulk about. A Star Lord needs an element of inner pain to him. What I don't like his "LOL DUDE" attitude. There's a dry sardonic wit and there's WACKITY SMACKITY DO.
Reileen Kawahara
Who that not-milf-but-still-an-ilf, tho?
GOTG 2 to IW was 4 years.
Which means Rocket was on the Avengers longer than the GOTG.
