A constant gently caress-up, neurotic and petty loser with immense powers sounds way more interesting to me as a villain for Agents of SHIELD than Magneto 2.0.

When you reduce every other idea down to a bumbling, Mr. Magoo style cartoon, I imagine turning every villain into Magneto does seem quite deep and compelling.

There's a pretty big difference between people knowing about Tony Stark's crazy suit shenanigans and the Hulk having been seen and the wider public knowing just how deep the rabbit hole goes and that a whole slew of superheroes and alternate, alien worlds exist.

It's not really a laser gun, but there's a piece of the Dark Elves' 'arsenal' that fits the bill for what they could do really easily and would make the most sense with that synopsis.

I wonder how much of the marketing for The Boys was handled by Ennis, et. al. I remember there were these really tacky full page spreads of like, the Female or Frenchie ripping off Wonder Woman's face and making some gross quip. Did he write those? If it actually ends up being Rogen and Goldberg doing Preacher, I really hope they do their own thing with it. I didn't love This is The End or anything, but I think a straight-faced adaption of Preacher ala Snyder's Watchmen would be really terrible.

I'm not talking about objectionable content. I just really, really don't want to see another 'port' of something. If you're going to hire people with a style who are known for a particular type of thing, don't hire them to adapt exactly.

Tuxedo Jack posted:I get that... But outside of Watchmen, who else has really ever done it? Not to mention it worked really well for that film. (Watchmen's shortcomings all stem from trying to do a genre-deconstructing story in a medium that didn't have enough content to truly warrant it). I'll be honest, I don't think either of your assertions are that true. People have been demanding Preacher as a direct translation because people demand every comic book series be adapted as a direct 'HBO miniseries' translation forever. And the best parts of Watchmen (2009) are easily the parts where it steps outside of the bland comic book criticism to address the history of superheroes in film.

The entirety of the Arrow advertisements before it first aired here in Australia was literally just a two second shot of him on an island followed by about thirty seconds of him working his way up the weights rack.

Waterhaul posted:Keanu just felt a bit too clean cut for me. It's the clean-shaven-ness and the mostly immaculate suit. Keanu had a face like a knife back then as well. He just looks really young and spotless. Aside from that, it's a really, really good film, though.

mind the walrus posted:Look at the goddamn Constantine pilot and you can say the exact same thing. Plus you forget that when Constantine initially showed up in Swamp Thing he was clean-shaven and wearing immaculate suits. It wasn't until Hellblazer was well underway that the whole "gutterpunk" look for Constantine became the norm. Guess which comic incarnation of the character is considered the most popular, most consistent and well known, friend. Hence why Waterhaul would feel that the movie's presentation of Constantine would feel at odds with the character, buddy!

I was only responding to Waterhaul's one, very specific comment about Keanu Reeves' portrayal, mate. greatn posted:Neither, cause no one even knows the movie was based on a comic. Again, talking to a guy who moderates a comic book forum about why a movie's portrayal of a character he's seen in the comics doesn't sit right with him, on the comic book forum. Context. Uh, comrade.

zoux posted:People expect shows to be incredible from day one and don't give writers and actors time to develop. I guess premature was the wrong word, but the level of vitriol directed at the show and the way SHIELD bashing would infect any topic remotely related to comic book shows was way out of proportion. Maybe it was out of proportion, I don't really know, but it's not like SHIELD had a rough first two or three episodes and then got into the groove. The vast majority of the first season was dire. People gave it a lot of chances.

I don't think it should be applauded for the brilliance of lazily treading water with terrible episodes while it waited for it's cross-marketing promotion to become apparent.

Gaz-L posted:No loving clue what Noel Murray was talking about when he said there's no humour or levity. (ep2)WE ARE FILLED WITH MIGHTY EEL STRENGTH! I don't really get it either. The first episode is filled with all that fairly typical Marvel-style dialogue and quips and the second episode even opens up with the excellent gag where Rosario Dawson tries to get a response out of Matt by shining a light in his eyes.
