That is probably one of the best uses of Donal Logue I can think of.

StumblyWumbly posted:I don't know poo poo about the situation, but I guarantee you being nice has nothing to do with it And yet Marvel was willing to give FOX an extension on the Daredevil franchise in exchange for Galactus and Silver Surfer. Furthermore, I never said Marvel was being nice, I said they were letting it slide. If they have no immediate need for Namor why press the issue? Especially when there exists the possibility that they can get him back for nothing? Disney didn't buy back the rights to Daredevil, Punisher or Ghost Rider. Lurdiak posted:Marvel is owned by Disney now, Disney doesn't "let things slide" when it comes to IP rights. I'm well aware Disney owns Marvel and they have all the money in the world, but they can't buy the rights back if the studio doesn't want to sell. See: Spider-Man. See: X-Men. My point was perhaps Universal was following along the X Movie every Y Amount of Time formula, but then they were bought out by NBC who in turn was bought out by Comcast. It has nothing to do with corporate pleasantries or money, but rather movie rights changing hands twice in eight years has so far prevented them from finishing a movie.

Spider-Man doesn't have an "as long as you're making films deal".

I almost feel like they should have let the movie rights lapse and said gently caress it to the TV rights, which they have proceeded to do nothing but make an incredibly mediocre at best children's cartoon with. I highly doubt it makes them more money than rolling Spidey into the MCU would have.

While the movies may have clearly established Iron Man, Thor, and Cap as big names for people to go see in the films, I don't know if that has easily translated into television or animation so Spider-Man and X-Men may be more necessary to carry animation franchises.

I would presume there would be some form of time limit but I know that it was for at least 6 more films including Amazing and Amazing 2. I'm sure when they are up Disney/Marvel will accept the chunk of money Sony throw at them.

I am a little more than halfway through the first season of Arrow and it is almost disgusting how much it has outclassed every aspect of Agents of Shield so far. The writing is so much tighter that its gross. It manages to have mysteries that are gradually and continuously explored through each episode, as opposed to simply being referenced so that the show can hurry up and go no where with a mostly filler plot. It's new characters seem far more interesting than AoS ones, and it has already made liberal use of more actual comic characters than SHIELD has in as many episodes, even if some of them have been wasted. From what I hear though, there is no shortage of them in upcoming episodes for me. It really kind of throws most of the defenses of AoS out the window. AoS is just a badly managed show. There really isn't anything to it. I hope they shake up the writing staff for season two. AoS did take a turn for the better in the last couple of eps, and maybe the "back nine" will be a huge improvement. We'll see.

Didn't want to being up comics chat in the TVIV Arrow thread, but does DA Spencer mean anything to anyone? Could it possible be this character who I had never heard of until someone in io9's comment section pointed it out? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhunter_(Kate_Spencer)#Fictional_character_biography Also, how many non-JL teams have had more than one member appear on Arrow as of the most recent episode?

And the spoilered character certainly had that job in the comics, and is at about the level WB/DC seem to be happy letting the show play in, so it's pretty plausible.

Remember though that the show does do homage names but then drastically reinterprets the character (namely Sin, Yao Fei, Ivo, Shado, Blood, Lyla, etc.)

The show's also been pretty good at trying to do comics-esque costumes when they feel they can do so inside their aesthetic. Ollie's outfit, the Canary costume, Merlyn and the League of Assassin gear, Deathstroke, Deadshot, even China White and the Huntress are all pretty close to the comics, or would be recognisable takes by an artist.

They better at least try to make him look a little bit like a robot zombie monster. I don't even remember much about the character, but I thought he was so cool looking when I was a kid, I turned an extra Robocop toy into Dethlok. Then a month later, Toy Biz came out with their figure.

He's not gonna be pretty when they've finished patching him together.

It's so hard to believe a superhero/sci fi show would actually go to the trouble of making something cool and inhuman look cool and inhuman. There's so many examples in the last 15 years of people putting an attractive 20-something in a black form-fitting athletic suit and saying they're a robot, alien or superhero.

J. August Richards is relatively handsome, but I don't think he's model attractive, or twenty something for that matter.

I love how thick and heavy it looks, like he's wearing an entire tac squad's worth of armor and gear. It's something that only a serum-enhanced supersoldier could wear and still move so quickly in.

I'm guessing representations of Slade that we have seen in stuff like Arkham Origins and Injustice and in the comics and cartoons in general, I guess, are anatomically impossible? Well the head gear, I mean. Well I suppose normally it would be a mask and those never look the same in real life, but in Arkham origins, its actually a helmet looking thing. Here it looks a bit over sized, but I am wondering if that is because when video games give him a helmet, they essentially shrink his head so the helmet doesn't look big.
