I'm gonna limit it to super-hero movies because Mechafunkzilla posted:A History of Violence, American Splendor, Ghost World these are all obvious but feel like cheating. Honestly, X2 might be right up there, and Deadpool's script is definitely the highlight of the movie (along with ryan reynolds in general), which is not something one says about superhero movies ever.

Considering the film is scripted as Green Lantern Corps, I'd expect for there to be a bunch of Green Lanterns. If I had to guess (and I probably already have in CD), it would be a John Stewart origin story, but with Hal Jordan also being a focus. My personal desire is for there to be a film adaptation of Zero Hour, so Hal's a necessity.

Drifter posted:It will never be AS good as it could have been since Kurt Russell can't be Mogo - The Living Planet because he's already the other stupid planet. There's already been several actors who played different characters in different superhero movies, there's absolutely no reason that Kurt couldn't also play Mogo. Plus it would be hilarious if he became typecast as 'the planet guy'

My dream Green Lantern Corp movie would be about Hal Jordan's pedophilia accusation trial.

It makes sense to have John Stewart costar in a GLC, since they get brownie points for having a PoC as a superhero. Going with just Hal, Kyle or Guy would just open them up for having a lily white cast. So John prominently featuring in the GLC movie is a safe bet

Plus, they can always racebend Hal. Someone like Oscar Isaac could work, but I'm still hoping Armie Hammer get the role.

Also whenever Watchmen veers away from the comic the script is terrible, e.g. "do that thing you do" and "I triggered it 35 minutes ago"

There a woman who was also a Green Lantern and had green skin but was a human being IIRC, Jade? Was she ever in anything big in the comics? Watch the mimic the un-aired Justice League pilot and have the GL be Guy Gardner, but he looks like Hal Jordan, and his outfit is Kyle Raynor's.

That is the extent of the cultural impact. The average person will be completely unaware that there even is a controversy. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that nerds within the bowels of the internet will argue amongst one another, and nobody will care. This step would have happened regardless. edit: I guess what I mean to say is that sometimes it feels like the expectation of controversy is way more discussed than the actual controversy.

Shazam/Capt Marvel will, though, I think. I think it's not viral marketing as much as it is just keeping already invested fans involved. They're just like super-cheap teasers and poo poo, but even lower budget - although pretty drat funny. But I'm not entirely sure what viral marketing actually does.

If Thor can always be the funniest guy I'll love em all. Looking back it was a mistake not to be funny all the time. That's why the Earth stuff when he's at the shop is so good.

For context if anyone wasn't aware the guy who created Wonder Woman lived in a polyamorous household with his wife and another female companion and they were part of a female empowerment bondage sex cult and he also invented the lie detector. Now everything about Wonder Woman makes perfect sense to you.
