Honestly there's a point to be made that any comic that builds on the existing superhero comics landscape and specifically references the Justice League should have its adaptation rewritten to reference the Avengers and build on the existing superhero movies landscape instead.

Sure justice league was bad but I don't think it warrants erasing the jl from public consciousness

Silk, of all characters, is getting a TV show, in Sony's continual efforts to cash in on as many Spider-Man related properties they own without involving Spider-Man/getting Disney involved. I'm interested in how they'll do it seeing as how she's literally bitten by the same spider as Peter, and her entire origin revolves around being locked in a bunker to avoid a bunch of interdimensional vampires who want to kill all spider-people.

I don't know exactly how the tv stuff works, but i think they can use Spider-Man without any permission from Disney, be super easy to keep part of the origin (same spider as Peter, locked away from society because "reasons other than interdimensional vampires") without bringing in any other Marvel poo poo super easily as long as they put the bunker in literally any other city than New York. You could even make it explicit that the Spider-Man is the Tom Holland Spider-Man and age her up with an oblique reference to "The Snap."

Sony can use a non-MCU Spider-Man in their movies/TV shows without having to coordinate with Disney. He can even be played by Tom Holland and probably reference things that happened in the 2 Sony Spider-Man movies. They just can't introduce new plot elements that involve MCU properties.

It drives me nuts that McDuffie pretty much had his Justice League run dictated. At a con a month after his last issue, he lamented how he wanted either Static or Icon on the team as the “Firestorm” audience surrogate.

Madkal posted:The name Homelander is kind of the fascistic endgame of a name like Captain America. The character (from the show, I haven't read the comics so no idea how he is portrayed there) is pretty much an amalgamation of Cap and Superman, where the Homelander (and his specifically his marketing) is very tied in to America where Superman's isn't. Maybe not in the modern day, but Superman being an all-american hero used to be a big part of his marketing, especially in the 40s and 50s. He might not literally have worn the flag like Cap, but he was seen as a patriotic American icon, even outside of the US. People of my father's generation still think of him that way. And let's not forget:  scary ghost dog posted:the avengers dont have anything as iconic as this Nobody younger than generation X knows what the Super Friends are.

Yeah but I don't think any of the movies really bring that up, nor the recent cartoons. Someone not versed in the comics and Boomer aged or younger wouldn't know much about the World War 2 era propaganda probably outside of maybe catching a rerun of a Fleischer Superman cartoon, and even then there's only two that are war propaganda and they're mostly just incredibly racist about the Japanese, not "hurrah USA USA."

How Wonderful! posted:People really want to hold onto their Aquaman gags. If I had movie producer money to piss away (and I do mean piss away in the sense of gently caress ROI I just want to see this movie) I'd fund a movie that builds on the current state of superhero movies the way comics did in the 80s and 90s. Not even an adaptation, something original and pertinent to the state of things in 2020. Probably even try to get one of the writers from back then to do it although I'm not sure who, first reflex is Alan Moore but he'd turn me into a toad or something just for bringing it up.

In Man of Steel, after destroying the predator drone tracking him, to allay the general's worries he'll turn against American interests, Superman says "I grew up in Kansas, general: I'm about as American as it gets."

Also turning the flag into clothing is a big violation of the flag code, making Superman more American because he respects it.

I thought that Sony had to give the TV rights to Spidey in like 2009, which is why we lost Spectacular. Or was that just for animated shows?

Sony has both live action and animated movies, plus live action TV. Marvel has TV animation. The weird asterisk is that apparently Sony has the rights to 44+ minute TV animation (aka an hour long show with commercials.)

I just learned that there's a currently running Spider-Man cartoon, in its third season. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man_(2017_TV_series) I gave up on the last one that was about high school Avengers or whatever, it was dogshit. Is this one any good? The art is not bad, though it looks like they're still doing the weird cheap background poo poo.

Hakkesshu posted:I just learned that there's a currently running Spider-Man cartoon, in its third season. It's the definition of "okay". I don't think it would hold up to binging, but I've watched it as it came out so it's never been a major commitment. I can't recall any standout episodes (beyond I remember being surprised at how much I liked the Screwball episode), but it does feature various Avengers at points. It is full of Spider-People, and it got so pretty early on, but Peter-Man is always the focus, though I should note that his personal life rarely features beyond adding some mild extra peril that gets crammed into 2 mins of an episode, tops. Gotta have those kid-friendly fights!
