Picture Rant: This Week in Fandom Photos

This week, we had a buffet of snapshots--or rather, screencaps--from a few upcoming movies and television shows, from "RoboCop" to "Doctor Who."

A picture is worth a thousand words, right? Therefore, here are some judgments on the whole movie or TV show based on these single photos:

RoboCop

Excitement Level: Meh.
Without the RoboCop visor, we get a glimpse of actor Joel Kinnaman's full face and sweet, melancholic eyes looking for justice in the distance. Okay, fine. He can't help but look a bit goofy in the suit. He doesn't look utterly terrible, though, but he doesn't look good enough to get us fangirling either.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Excitement Level: Whoa.
Seeing Captain America and Falcon side-by-side is pretty exciting. Plus, it's a relief to see Cap donning the classic red, white and blue instead of the boring navy blue (or is it black?) outfit with a star on it. And the photo of an unsuited Steve Rogers with the amber glow upon his shield? Gorgeous.

X-Men: Days of Future Past

Excitement Level: Uhh?
We finally got our first look at Quicksilver. And he's, well, he's silver all right. He's definitely not the tight suit we were expecting. He looks like a guy who's "trying" to be a cool dude. Perhaps he'll have another suit later in the movie? Not to mention we'll be seeing two versions of Quicksilver in the movies. Fox's Quicksilver in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" might face some competition with Marvel Studios's version of Quicksilver in "Avengers: Age of Ultron." Who will be deemed "prettier"? We'll just have to wait and see. Via Hypable.

Marvel One-Shot: All Hail the King

Excitement Level: High
It looks hilarious. That somewhat confused, somewhat determined look on Ben Kingsley's face whist surrounded by tough-and-tattooed prisoners--priceless. Whether you liked the movie Mandarin or not, this one-shot could be worth a good 14 minutes of entertainment and laughs. Via Entertainment Weekly.

Fargo

Excitement Level: High
Martin Freeman looks positively in trouble in this photo from an upcoming TV version of the 1996 movie "Fargo." It looks funny, action-packed and reminiscent of the original film. And is that a bald guy with a ponytail in the background? Via Yahoo.







Doctor Who:
Excitement Level: Meh.
This photo (which is actually from the set, not the episode) is exciting mainly because it's the new Doctor. But does it tell us anything? No. He basically looks exactly the same as he did in the Christmas episode. They sure look happy though.
