The Question IRL posted:I had a thought this week. Honestly Kingdom Come is one where they probably would need to make a ton of changes to make it work in an animated format(for one thing there's no real way to replicate Alex Ross's style in an animated work so they would need to use a different aesthetic for it), including a heavy rework of the end portion of the book*, so it could be done but I imagine it'll make a lot of people unhappy even though it would likely come out pretty decently *I say this as someone who really loves the comic overall but the whole end message of "humanity and meta humans must learn to work together" doesn't really loving work if it required the former committing genocide on the latter for it to happen and getting away with it completely(not to mention it makes Captain Marvel's sacrifice kind of pointless since it didn't actually have any actual effect on who survived in the end)

Look at Killing Joke and Long Halloween, two books that would have been much easier to translate the art style, and they look terrible.

Hey I hear they can use this "AI Art" thing to  But seriously they would need a Spiderverse-style pipeline to make it faithful to Ross

NikkolasKing posted:Apocalypse has all the best lines, just like Kingpin had all the best lines. Both shows were fantastic at casting and writing villains, This reminds me of the great Kingpin line where for some reason he helps Spider-Man and is fighting Scorpion, and tears his tail right off and yeets the dude out a window, then goes "A pity. I broke him". Right up there with "The checks in the mail, baby!" as lines from that show burned into my memory. Also unsolicited, but my thought is if you want to do Kingdom Come, make the flashbacks to the olden times before everything goes shithouse look like the animation/style of New Frontier, then have current day stuff look more modern El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at 14:19 on Mar 9, 2023 |

Lot of good posts about a Kingdom Come animated feature. What I think is interesting is how everyone focuses on how to best adapt the Alex Ross type art. Now undoubtedly it is one of the biggest features of the story, but I think it overlooks the excellent dialogue from Mark Waid and the overall plot. Is it just that the bare bones of the story, while if not completely revolutionary at the time certainly very well made, is now passe after things like Injustice? Has it become a thing like the film adaption of John Carter, where the time to adapt it has long since passed?

I don’t really think it’s past its time yet. It isn’t like the story is more “morally dark/gray Superman” schlock. Superhero civil war sounds like it could incorporate a lot of current issues, particularly when it revolves around a generational gap. (I don’t think Marvel’s civil war is comparable.) It would just have to step back a bit from the “rampaging teen gangster” vibe. AlternateNu fucked around with this message at 05:55 on Mar 11, 2023 |

The quick fix is to make the NuGen heroes a bit more like The Just of Multiversity. Don't have them be out of control teen gangs but more narcissistic and social-media driven. Magog's murder of the Joker gets caught by a citizen bystander and it becomes a viral hit and now all these upstarts want their own Magog Moment, so they engineer disasters or fake quarrels. I stand by the idea that a decently ambitious render pipeline could make it happen. Especially now that the TMNT Mutant Mayhem trailer dropped. Would give the artists the chance to incorporate different styles since Spectre guides that dude on a timetrip anyway.

I think the problem with adapting Kingdom Come is that it's just too long and you'd have to either do multiple movies/a much longer movie to make it work (WB probably would never have done this before the regime change, modern day WBD/Zaslav would laugh you out of the room for suggesting it) or start playing real fast and loose with the story to fit it in one movie, which wouldn't please anybody who wanted to see it adapted in the first place. Semi-related: I recently watched the Injustice movie and while they do take a lot of good stuff from the comics they start changing a lot of plot elements, particularly in the latter half, to make it work, leading to a rushed as hell finale. (Final review, I wouldn't call it outright bad, but I definitely regret watching it instead of doing literally anything else with that precious time I'll never get back.) e: VVV you're right I totally forgot about those. Oh well I maintain my assertion that modern WBD definitely wouldn't go for that. TwoPair fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Mar 11, 2023 |

Their Hush, Long Halloween and Dark Knight Returns adaptations are all two parters, so I think they'll probably just do that.

And what I talked about before about the story having a "two cultures must learn to get together" moral/theme but only accomplishes it after one side genocides the other and gets away scott free

A Wonder Woman animated series could be great, but also seems extremely unlikely to come out of WB/D with current management.

I've rewatched a little of Static Shock lately. It definitely holds up. It was at its most interesting when it tried to address real, ground-level issues, which is also why I didn't like the later show much. Also Static's costume changing so he no longer wears a bra on his head. Richie getting superpowers was dumb, but also there were just a lot of plots disconnected from any kind of relatable real-world perspective. Especially when he hung out with the the rest of the animated DC superheroes at a time when they were really far from any ground-level issues. The DCAU crossovers also sucked because for some reason the show used really bad synth remixes of the themes from their shows, while Static Shock usually put a lot of some kind of work into its soundtrack. Not really to my tastes, but you can tell that a lot of work went in. Maybe there's some kind of licensing actual pop songs in there, I wouldn't know. The later show definitely threw in a bunch of pop culture guest stars. The best was probably Coolio being put in as a character instead of showing up as a celebrity. It's weird how the first episode centers around some guys trying to pull Virgil into a gang, but none of those characters ever show up again. I guess they were some of the ones who just loving died from their mutations. I like how after Hotstreak is kinda set up to be like a rival to Static, knowing him in school, being in the opening, and having similar elemental powers, but then he's just kind of a loser for the entire rest of the show. Never a major threat.

So it's been a while since I saw any DC animated movies, largely because the last few I saw were poo poo and completely forgettable (except Batman Ninja, which rules). Which ones from the last 5-6 years or so are actually genuinely good and worth watching?

Produced by Bruce Timm with a heavy focus on Jessica Cruz Green Lantern which was nice.

I liked Scooby-Doo and Batman: The Brave and the Bold, and Scooby Doo's the dtv series I went through the effort on following. I guess Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo is also technically part of the DCAU, but I wouldn't recommend it.
