Hey man, I said Power Rangers TYPE shows (whatever that genre is) and also that I didn't know what any of it was. I think they had stuff from various shows though.

Guardians of the Galaxy was also fairly surprising, definitely to the studio at least.

Does Marvel have any other properties like Guardians that aren't just your average super hero stuff that they can possibly make in the future? Because I liked that way more than any of the other stuff.

Videogames wanted so hard to be movies, but it feels now like every movie studio is trying on the Triple A Game Dev Franchise formula for a fit until the well dries up. I can't wait for the five Power Rangers sequels.

The only comics book movie I want to see is a standalone Batman film where Michael Keaton plays old Batman in The Dark Knight Returns.

All the best comic book stories are standalones like Long Halloween and you can get any actor to do a one-and-done no contract film that doesn't affect your idiotic "cinematic universe".

LOL at the fact we're getting another Spider-man reboot. I wonder how successful Homecoming will be. Its an MCU film and Marvel has this down to a science by this point, so it will probably have a passable level of quality with humor and stuff, so it will probably be a hit. But then again, its yet another Spider-Man reboot. And I wonder if people will get sick of the MCU formula.

Seconding the opinion that Guardians of the Galaxy was way better than most of the MCU. Yeah it still had the same kind of cheap humor, but the world and universe it depicted was way more interesting than the mainstream superhero stuff. I wonder how Volume 2 will fare.

Do you think the humor of Lobo could work in a movie today? That was the only non-"alternative" comic I read in high school and it was because it was funny. There was a series where he went to the North Pole to massacre Santa and his elves and in the early 90's that poo poo was totally hilarious. Now it seems so quaint.

It's kind of in the same vein as Deadpool but I don't trust DC to be able to make a sincerely fun movie. Their attempt at Deadpool was Suicide Squad, we know how that turned out.

I still mention Gunn's early Superhero flick "The Specials" quite a bit. Maybe Marvel should let him do Great Lakes Avengers with a similar tone as a Netflix series or something to excuse why they're aren't having big adventures or doing anything all that interesting.

In retrospect, I wonder if Sony regrets the 2012 Spider-Man reboot entirely and if they could go back knowing then what they know now if they'd be working with Marvel far more closely during Phase 1/2.

Specifically, imagine if Tobey McGuire showed up in the MCU as a semi-retired Spider-Man circa 2012-2016. When Sony does their Spider-Man Homecoming in 2017, it'd maybe be sort of a Miles Spider-Man and Peter Spider-Mentor thing going on, or Peter and Tony both trying to guide Miles in their own way or something.

Here's my pitch. Long Halloween without Batman. Batman's there and he does stuff but the film focuses on all the other characters instead. He's always in shadow or just off screen and we never fully see his costume. All the action scenes with Batman come off like they're from a horror film instead of an action flick.

And that's how you lose hundreds of millions of dollars.

A thought I had was a Punisher film but treat it as an 80s horror/slasher movie where the unstoppable monster is a vigilante and the horny teens are petty crooks or something. We don't really follow the Punisher so much in the film, we follow these criminals who have found themselves pursued by a murdering madman and just trying to survive. Maybe by the end, we care about some of them because they're showing actual signs of humanity, weakness, fear or something, which Frank doesn't.

ASK ME ABOUT CROSSING THE STREAMS


Here is my pitch.

Brand new Fantasic Four movie with new people in the roles. Show a fun and colorful world where they are established heroes. Reed opens a portal to another demension where the 2015 FF cast are zombies who invade earth. The 2015 cast are the villains. It is right out of the comics, erases the failed movie, and would include zombies.

My idea for a Fantastic Four movie is give up and don't make one. Make cheap rear end ones every seven years with limited release just so Marvel and Disney don't make one either.

For the same reason so many superheroes have sidekicks. It makes exposition a lot easier, it humanizes the hero, and lets him have conversations that aren't lying to Aunt May or Mary Jane

That would actually be interesting. Though if anyone from 2000s Spider-Man comes back it should be Willem Dafoe, have him play Osborn in a Dark Reign movie. We'd get news sites churning out hot takes comparing him to Trump.

I haven't read a poo poo ton of Spider-Man comics, nor seen all the movies, but isn't he basically a wacky, dorky science nerd that cracks lame jokes and can't get laid? It's kind of baffling how they made his sidekick Peter Parker 2.0, as opposed to, I don't know, his complete opposite to make their relationship more interesting?

Why don't they make superhero movies that are like an original setting and characters just for the movie rather than rehashing the same 80 year old children's books over and over and over again? Or like if one of these comic characters has been rebooted 4+ times in a decade maybe move on to something else?

You'd maybe have people talking about issues from the Raimi films and so on as being some secret MCU stuff. The project that Norman was working on for the government at the start of Spider-man 1? It's another attempt at the Super Soldier formula. Goblin Armor being part of many prototypes being used for the eventual Falcon design, etc.

But I sort of get the feeling that a problem could be that Raimi Spider-man movies sort of destroyed all the main villains, same as the MCU films. I do sort of wonder if the MCU has an 'out' so to speak with the Infinity Gauntlet in regards to so many dead villains. Specifically, if Thanos does something like wipe out whole worlds and in the end someone uses the Gauntlet to undo that. However, reviving the massive amounts of the dead killed by Thanos also accidentally results in them unknowingly reviving folks like Red Skull, Stane, Whiplash, Mandarin, various other characters etc. because of some reason or another.

I remember hearing once that they kept killing off his love interest so they could get away with not getting him married and keeping him young and single and poor. It'd be like if they made Bruce Wayne/Iron Man lose his fortune.

Because both the audiences and the executives greenlighting movies are developmentally stunted freaks who are terrified of unfamiliar things and seek refuge in routine, no matter how unsatisfying and stupefying it is.
