If Wonder Woman is the DCEU film that breaks the mold by being a critical darling AND is loved by fans... I will be so loving happy

Yeah, it was incredibly loosely based on a concepts from Flaming Carrot, but that's good enough for me to call it the best comic book movie ever. If you wanna call it a superhero movie though, that's fine. Then it's just the second-best superhero movie (first is Blankman).

There absolutely was a Mystery Men comic, there's one in my attic somewhere. It was either a one-off or limited series though. (And yes, it was a Flaming Carrot spin-off.) edit: it looks like the Internet has forgotten this existed, so just to prove I'm not crazy:

I didn't know there was an Adam West Batman movie... I'm pretty stoked for Lego Batman next year, though.

I would sooner expect to hear "I didn't know there was a TV show based on the Adam West Batman movie" than to not be aware of the movie. Surely you've seen jokes about Shark-Repellant Bat Spray and getting rid of a bomb?

Yeah the movie is pretty much exactly the show so I could understand people not knowing it was a separate film thing and not just like a long episode.

Also the movie is chopped up into regular episodes for repeats. That's how I originally saw it.

As far as translating the aesthetic of the comic book directly to the screen is concerned, I think the Dick Tracy movie with Warren Beatty actually ranks pretty highly, because it looks like a live-action cartoon.

The only part of Ang Lee's Hulk I remember is Talbot being killed by a freeze-frame.

Ang Lee's Hulk made the terrible mistake of making the Hulk boring. Also calling it now that Lego Batman will be one of the best Batman movies ever.

Madkal posted:Ang Lee's Hulk made the terrible mistake of making the Hulk boring. Lee's Hulk isn't good. But even Norton's Hulk, while much better, still feels a bit off. I think Norton Hulk suffers from not wanting to make the Hulk a flat out monster/force of nature. You even see this in the later Avengers movies where he just can control his anger and it is no big deal which really just sucks the tension out of the character of The Hulk.

notthegoatseguy posted:Lee's Hulk isn't good. But even Norton's Hulk, while much better, still feels a bit off. Yeah, i think the major problem with The Hulk is the Hulk, as a concept, is not really friendly to superheroics. He is pure rage manifest and intentionally evokes a Jekyll/Hyde thing, but since he's a major comic superhero they kinda have to walk that back to the point it is remotely plausible he is a hero. (lol, math in his head, nobody ever got hurt.) Which is fine but... doesn't really make for a good stand-alone story where the concept begs for the Hulk to be something more. Ang Lee's comes closest I think but all of them are crippled by the need for the Hulk to be, in some degree, 'the good guy.'

In both Avengers movies he's clearly not completely in control though? In the first one Loki tricks him, and in the second he flips out in that African city and Tony has to get out the Hulkbuster suit. He can sometimes control his rage but definitely not all the time.

He's in control in the second movie mostly. The Hulkbuster fight happens because of Wanda.

Yup. I actually remember parts of it. The Norton one, all I've got is the memory of him closing a laptop because of it's general use as a gif.

The comic-panel editing didn't quite work in Ang Lee's movie, but I think it would have been better for them to have said "why didn't this work and how can we tweak it" than to have just thrown it out as a failed experiment. It was a clever idea.
