That certainly is a needlessly overcomplicated and mostly irrelevant answer to that question.

I forgot to include the below quote as well in my post and mainly as a response to DFu4ever posted:Green Lantern's ring can't affect yellow objects. Not sure if this has ever changed in the book. I think it had something to do with an impurity in the rings, but I could be wrong. It was changed in the book, impurity in rings, etc.

Doing the whole Parallax as the reason for the yellow weakness is kindof necessary if you want to introduce the other 7-8 corps, otherwise they'd all have to have some sort of goofy "can't touch this" weakness, too, and what can't rage or avarice or hope touch?

Wouldn't Sandman be too expensive to make into a TV series? Its very big on the surreal visuals, after all. I can't think of a sandman story that doesn't have really crazy visuals in some places and there are a lot of things that are important to the overarching story that would be pretty expensive to film, like when he visits hell. Gaiman writing a more original take on the story for TV would be something I'd love to see, though. I think the way Sandman is now works really well as a comic but the idea behind it would work perfectly well as a TV series: a mix of one-off stories about the endless and stories about people encountering the supernatural, with all the elements building up into an overarching story behind the scenes.

If it got a Game of Thrones budget I could see it working. But I don't think anyone is insane enough to give it that kind of budget.

I really don't think it would work at all, it would be hideously expensive and it's meandering to the point that it makes Carnivale look like 24.

Things can always be condensed and made more TVish. That's why it's called adaptation and not translation. The hard part would be finding someone who can do that well. The budget thing...well, see my above post.

People bitched when the alien scenes in Green Lantern were 2/3rds of Ryan Reynolds' head floating around CGI monsters and how much better it would be with practical effects, and now they're gonna complain about actual practical-effect aliens too aren't they?

Maybe they will bitch about humans in weird clothing being a loving uninspired practical effect instead. You never know. Two aliens in prosthetics = cool. Humans with silly skin colors or clothes = stupid.

Considering that Rocket Raccoon and Groot are in this movie, all the weird ones might be CGIed in later. Then again, many Marvel aliens look human anyway.

Some things just don't translate well to live-action. I knew GL was going to look like a funny wet turd as soon as they confirmed they were making one. If things look goofy in their native medium (comic books) they're generally going to look goofy in a movie.

Eh. I don't think it's all that bad. It's probably a long/far shot (based off the helicopter) of people/aliens running away from something so they took some effort to have bright colors and standouts. Maybe it's in the movie as a background or less than 3 seconds or something.

I like it. I say MORE weird and goofy costumes and day-glo aliens! MORE! Seriously it's a fun look. Maybe I'm just happy to see them heading straight in the opposite direction from the grit and "realism" of typical blockbusters.

Aliens that look like humans but different color or head dimples always bothered me until I saw the movie K-Pax where he compared himself looking like human to why bubbles are round: it's the most energy-efficient configuration. For some reason, after that "different looking humans" kind of alien never bothered me.

Surely they're going to apply a bunch of effects to every scene in the movie, that guy could have a head full of yellow tentacles in the final cut

Really like the look of those aliens. It's like, expensive camp. Humanoid aliens isn't just a staple of comic books, it's a staple of sci-fi in general. Just embrace it or go watch something else.

Even more pics can be seen on this blog. By the way, are the Inhumans considered Fox property since they started off in the Fantastic Four?
