a blue beetle (ted Kord) and Booster Gold bill and ted adventure would be amazing. they would run into various heroes and villains across time and multiverse.

I've only been saying this for 25 years.

And I would love to see Adam Scott as Ted and Joel McHale as Booster, even if they're both older than what WB/DC would want.

A Blue and Gold movie really is rumored (there's a screenwriter working on it), and in an interview, Nathan Fillion said he and Alan Tudyk would probably love to be in it.

I really genuinely believe Booster Gold is a fantastic fit for film. He has a simple enough origin story that allows for comedy and action, can be slotted into an 'extended universe' without dominating it, is a relatively easy cast since there are tons of directions you can go with him and has superpowers that are incredibly screen-friendly.

Plus you've got that child-friendly Disney-esque sidekick, Skeets! Who turns out to be the villain!

I think Joel McHale being a little past being considered young and being a little balding actually would work really well for the character.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou

Definitely. He's a handsome and charming guy, but past his prime, and like Booster, McHale also played college football. And he played a very similar character on Community -- a smug, smooth-talking huckster who doesn't value friendships or doing the right thing, until he learns to be a good friend and a good person.

I'm reading through the original Dr. Strange comics and I geeked out a little during Strange Tales #127. When Ditko first drew Strange it was with a blue and black colour scheme and his cape was blue:



I figured at some point Ditko just up and decided to make the cape red and did so without making a fuss but Strange actually earned it! And not in a flashback or during his origin story (like the movie) but after his first encounter with Dormammu:



So basically he beats a boss character, receives some great loot, and (revealed in the next issue) levels up with new powers.

I'd like to think Superman Lives is fast-tracked for summer 98. In 1997 Batman and Robin bombs, and Steel lands like a wet fart, but MiB is a hit. They go ahead and commit to Burton Weirdness for Supes since the audience is into it now, Batman is reworked by jettisoning the Schumacher camp but keeping the off-kilter humor from '89. They use the JLi to reinvigorate the Bat brand, so he's kind of the mentor figure to these b-listers that have been pulled together for some reason, and it's titled JLA 2000 because of course it'll be a Y2K release. The popularity of Superman Lives dictates whether they pull a teaser of him being involved with the JL franchise or not.

Giancarlo Esposito from Breaking Bad has pretty much confirmed the complete division of the Netflix/ABC side of Marvel and the Movie verse. Looks like he was asked to do a role, probably in one of the Netflix shows and turned it down because the character wouldn't be able to move to film. So don't expect the Defenders in Infinity War

Giancarlo Esposito posted:

"I know the Marvel world exists on the Disney lot. I love those guys at Marvel," he says. "We’ve been trying to figure out how to collaborate on something. I’m hoping that it is something. They came to me with something for their television department, then I realized if I did that, I’d never be able to have that same character be in that film department. Once you’re in a Marvel character in the television version, you have to stay in the particular character. They can’t carry that over to film."

To be fair, from an outside perspective all the TV properties are dumb as hell. Coulson never died, here's some mutants with the serial numbers filed off (which is how they're choosing to treat Inhumans, not how they are in comics), and a blind guy whose power is he's not blind (again, how they've chosen to write him). So from a mass-market perspective it isn't much of a loss.

My thoughts exactly. Unless Marvel officially proclaims that the TV and movie universes shall forever remain separate, I'm going to assume it's not set in stone. I figure they won't bother crossing the two over unless they have compelling motivation to do so, but I doubt they'd be so shortsighted as to permanently close the door on that possibility. Especially since one of the earliest scenes in their first Netflix series directly references The Avengers.

Yeah there's nothing factual in that at all. That sounds like he made the assumption himself that the character he was being asked to try for would only be in a TV show. Or maybe that the character died in the TV show and thus that would be his only option.

Seems pretty obvious to me that Marvel TV is "in continuity" with the movies just for marketing. It's to get movie fans to watch the shows.

The shows reference the movies plenty. The problem is their the inferior in the relationship(the "uke" as one might say) and as far as I'm aware there hasn't been any acknowledgement of them existing in the movies.

The Netflix stuff is better for not being so tied to the movie stuff IMO. I haven't watched any of the broadcast TV shows. I like the tight little family feel of the Netflix shows with lower stakes than "holy poo poo world ending threat!"

Civil War was also better for not having a holy poo poo world ending threat.

I gave up on Agents of SHIELD two or three episodes into Season 3. It wasn't even bad, but it just wasn't doing it for me anymore.

I loved Agent Carter, though -- and that was another show with lower stakes, great characters, wonderful sets and costumes, and more of a tie-in to the movies, with Peggy being so important to Cap, Howard Stark's presence, and the Howling Commandos showing up. Season 2 had one of the best MCU villains, as well.

This is the first thing to ever make me want to see the Strange movie, because he's utterly right. No matter where else Zack Snyder has fallen, the Watchmen movie is the perfect adaption and one of the best movies I've ever seen. It gets across so much complex poo poo so artistically that even having only seen it and not the book, I still warmed myself just recently while in the hospital by going over the detailed ideas and messages it gets across while also being impeccably stylish and entertaining.

Wouldn't you actually have to have read the source material to know if it's a perfect adaptation or not?
