Obama was right to call ISIS as ISIL because Isis was a cool Egyptian god and a cool spy agency on the show Archer and now that's all ruined for a while.

BrianWilly posted:I think "Gods of Egypt" and "Pompeii" showed that hedging your bets on GoT actors is in fact super dumb, and those guys were way more prominent than Ramsay. A lot of the advertising also looks like they're trying to make people think it's a similar show to Game of Thrones, and he's playing a character similar to his character in GoT. Also, it makes more sense just because it's a TV show, while most of the actors on GoT are great, the only ones I think have movie star potential also already have successful movie careers. zoux posted:Some early reviews coming out about Inhumans and folks, it's not pretty. The problem with trying to make a show like Game of Thrones for ABC. Fox could probably do something similar in tone, or maybe NBC (especially if they were mostly dealing with whichever executive greenlit 3 seasons of Hannibal), but this is pretty far out of ABC's wheelhouse.

Well anything that's not a family sitcom is out of ABC's wheelhouse.

Ted Kord has apparently been tainted by "you can't use him because maybe one day we might want to maybe". It dates all the way back to the cartoon that never came out

My favorite thing from the Inhumans reviews is "I liked Iron Fist, but this is Bucks worst work". I can understand why there may be some people who thought he was good, because I noticed Dexter had a certain cult around it, people worshiped that show. But after Iron Fist, i cannot imagine anyone thinks he's someone that they can rely on delivering a hit. Though I'm sure Inhumans started production before Iron Fist came out.

It's about a secret kingdom with a deposed king, there's plenty of shows about politicking and betrayal that don't need 80 hours to set everything up, the original BBC House of Cards was just 3 90 minute episodes, about the same length Inhumans will likely be.

So the Inhumans panel at TCA could've gone better https://twitter.com/HitFixUPROXX/status/894340598077022208 I do deeply love that picture though.

quote:“You have to watch the show to find out how it all works out,” Loeb said. “What you do know is that they certainly are aware of what is happening in the continuity of ‘SHIELD.'” This sounds an awful like the same BS we get with cross referencing the movies and the shows. A simple yes would have sufficed. It makes literally no sense to tease continuity between a show called The Inhumans and another show that has spent the last two seasons being about Inhuman characters. Unless... Unless.... there's no connectivity at all! *gasp* Misleading audiences always works over well!

Ugh, I legitimately do feel bad for Loeb. He's had more hits than misses, really, and it just seems like this was a cruddy venture right from the start.

I'm worried we're going to end up like Mass Effect Andromeda and Anthem; AoS is sacrificed for Inhumans.

It kind of sucks because I was somewhat interested in the Inhumans movie, but the internal fighting over territory within the Movie and TV divisions led to them jettisoning the movie. Inhumans wasn't ever intended to be a TV show until 7 months ago. They ended up dumping Perlmutter anyway, so Inhumans died for nothing.

Vin Diesel was super hyped to be Black Bolt and if there's anyone who could pull off a role based on angry stares alone it's him.

Inhumans wasn't ever intended to be a TV show until 7 months ago. This is pretty much my feeling. I'm one of the few people that really likes the Inhumans royals so I was really excited when they put it on the movie slate. Then Perlmutter decided to play keep away with the property and now it's been hosed over. We'll be lucky if the Inhumans don't go down worse than the Fantastic Four at this point. At least we'll hopefully get a good trainwreck out of this I guess. It's just so frustrating to watch fuckboys try and play who's got the biggest dick with some of this poo poo. It just leads to weird continuity gaps and dilutes the whole brand.

Marvel was pushing Inhumans so hard because they don't have the movie rights to X-Men. I think it's more likely that Marvel Entertainment was pushing for Marvel Studios to do an Inhuman movie and that's why it was stuck on at the end. Remember that The Inhumans movie was never a part of Phase Three, rather it was the beginning of Phase Four. Feige probably never had any interest in doing an Inhumans movie and that's why its a TV series.

Right now the only way I know I'll be entertained is that I'll be watching the show with two dogs, who both freak out when anything dog-shaped(or horse-shaped, or elephant-shaped, etc...) appears on screen. Especially when it's very sudden....

Netflix bought the rights to Millarworld, not sure if that encompasses all of Millar's non big-2 work. How many IPs has Millar had adapted so far? Wanted, Kingsmen, and Kick rear end I can think of off the top of my head.

It depresses me to think how much money that guy must have compared to all the comic book greats who died penniless. Not that it's his fault or anything.

Right, but Netflix won't be making those movies or shows for obvious reasons. I will never forgive Hollywood for not casting Eminem in Wanted and also not doing the original canon ending.

Reading Mark Millar's post it doesn't sound like Netflix bought the rights to Millarworld, they bought Millarworld. quote:Warner Bros bought DC Comics in 1968. Disney bought Marvel in 2009. Today Netflix purchased Millarworld and I’m still blinking. This is only the third time in history a comic-book company purchase on this scale has ever happened. Edit: Rather, I wonder what the advantage is if you're not getting a giant IP stable. Warner Brothers and Disney didn't buy DC and Marvel because they wanted to be in the comic book publishing business. Air Skwirl fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Aug 7, 2017 |

I actually don't hate that movie, the loom poo poo and all the mythology behind it is crap but it has fun action scenes even if bullet bending is impossible. Skwirl posted:Reading Mark Millar's post it doesn't sound like Netflix bought the rights to Millarworld, they bought Millarworld. We'll find out. I wonder if that means they'll be free to make stuff related to the three movie properties, especially since one of them is mid-franchise. Incidentally, here's all the stuff listed by his site as "Millarworld". I've mostly read Millar's big 2 stuff, I think Wanted is the only indy stuff of his I've read.

Unless whatever movie rights agreement had already been agreed to is expired, I highly doubt it, it's not like Disney can start making X-Men movies.

Looking more into it, I can't figure out what piece, if anything, the artists own of the various Millarworld books. He's quoted as saying whenever he licenses a property he gives half the money to the artist (so theoretically JRJR made as much money off the Kick-rear end movies as Millar) but it's phrased in such away that it sounds like he doesn't have to. Also just clicking around at various links on Mark Millar's wikipedia page it sounds like he's already sold the movie rights to half the poo poo on their, like there's a lot of stuff already in development by other companies. I think Mark Millar just retired.
