Yeah, but a 31 day sticky wasn't an option. Had to opt for 30.

CapnAndy posted:I think the count's swung back Lee's way now, but there was a period where Mark Millar had had more of his comics optioned for movies than Stan Lee. Although Civil War was Millar? I dunno anymore, but it's really close. Lee has 1) Spider-Man (five with a sixth coming) 2) Avengers (two with two more coming) 3) X-Men (at least seven of them though they feature a lot of non Lee/Kirby characters) 4) Iron Man (three) 5) Thor (two with a third coming) 6) Hulk (twice) 7) Ant-Man 8) Daredevil Plus 9) Doctor Strange (coming out this year) 10) Black Panther (in production) This is only including modern feature films that are actually made, Marvel/Lee optioned a shitload of things throughout the 1970s-1990s that never got made: Silver Surfer and Nick Fury were definited optioned for long stretches but never got their own movies. Meanwhile Millar has: Actually Made 1) Wanted 2) Kick-rear end 3) Kingsman/Secret Service 4) Superior (optioned in 2011, now moving forward) 5) Chrononauts 6) Jupiter's Legacy 7) MPH 8) Empress Then I think the math used past that was 9) Civil War is named Civil War and he wrote Civil War 10) He consulted on the 2015 FF so it's based on his Ultimate FF 11) There are rumors the next Wolverine movie will be based on Old Man Logan So based on that math, he has eleven films hypothetically being made, and Stan Lee only has ten.

Nick Fury got that not terrible David Hasselhoff TV movie back in the 90s...though if we're going backwards there's a ton of old stuff you're not counting that for better or for worse still exist.

Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD was totally a movie that was made starring David Hasselhoff, and Cumberbatch will be the second Doctor Strange movie.

You have to add a shitload of asterisks to make the claim "Mark Millar has more movies than Stan Lee" and at least a few of them are * in the past twenty years * major theatrical releases only, no TV or direct to video * only count Stan Lee movies that are actively in production at Marvel

There's four fantastic Fantastic Four movies because the condition was "made" rather than "actually released". Also Man-Thing which I am still yet to watch.

I found the exact wording from the AV Club about a year ago:quote:Here’s a fun fact: If you don’t count sequels and remakes, eight or nine comics created by Stan Lee—probably the most famous comic book writer in history—have been made into movies. That includes Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor, The Avengers, The Hulk, The X-Men, and a handful of others. By contrast, nine comics created by Mark Millar—a writer who most non-nerds have never heard of—have either already been made into movies or are in the process of becoming movies. And that also doesn’t include sequels, the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot, or Captain America: Civil War, both of which are reportedly based on storylines written by (or co-written by) Millar. If we did count those—keeping in mind that all of Millar’s in-development projects came out before Lee’s Ant-Man, Black Panther, and Inhumans—Mark Millar would be a more prolific comic-book adaptation machine than Stan Lee. That, frankly, is crazy. Their count for Lee was (presumably) 1) Spider-Man 2) Iron Man 3) Thor 4) The Avengers 5) Hulk 6) X-Men 7-9) "a handful of others" that I guess includes Fantastic Four and Daredevil and ??? Millar's list is three that were out/finished at the point the article was written: 1) Wanted 2) Kick-rear end 3) Secret Service Three options explicitly mentioned in the article: 4) Jupiter's Legacy 5) MPH 6) Kindergarten Heroes (an option announced in 2013 based on a comic that still hasn't come out And then uh... 7) Superior has been optioned with no real movement for about five years now, four years then 8) Starlight got optioned in 2013 9) War Heroes got optioned but the comic never got finished? 10) Someone bought the rights to Nemesis a long time ago Like pretty much every creator owned book Millar has put out has been optioned, but so far three of them have actually been made into films. Lots of stuff gets optioned, though now that Marvel is owned by a studio they don't really 'option' things anymore. It's to the point that even relative unknowns who solicit a book through Image get calls about optioning their comic before it's even out.

To be fair, it is a pretty cool stat when you miscount and intentionally downplay Lee's adaptations while including all of Millar's possible adaptations.

Now I want to know who the true king is if you really play loose. It's probably Frank Miller. 1) Sin City 2) 300 3) The Dark Knight/all the post-1989 Batman movies 4) Daredevil 5) Elektra 6) Martha Washington (was optioned at some point) 7) Ronin (was optioned at some point) 8) Robocop 2/3 9) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 10) The Spirit 11) The Wolverine movie where they go to Japan

After doing this crazy-rear end Gillen Loki reading order, and having read his Young Avengers run and Ewing's Loki: AoA previously, I'm fairly certain that Loki is in fact my favorite Marvel character.

I'm glad that Loki's basically become a metatextual tragedy character sorta like Morrison's idea of Joker being "hyper-sane" but from the opposite direction, of instead of that turning you into a nihilist monster it turns Loki into a person who tries to do good despite its inherent pointlessness but fails, and often. The innate hope of Loki's constant attempts to improve make for a more compelling character, I think.

It would be cool if the MCU goes on long enough for actors to age out of their roles, and we get super meta textual Journey into Mystery movie that does the Gillen story and replaces Hiddleston in- and out of universe

Do you guys remember that kerfuffle when some comics guy claimed on twitter that Jack Kirby was yet another straight white man who's deified by the "immature comics fanbase" and Kirby was super overrated, and then basically every comics creator ever poo poo on him? Because that level of combined schadenfreude was hilarious and I'd like to revisit it. ed: It was the Dresden Codak guy. Man, was that poo poo loving hilarious. ed2: Man, it's even funnier than I remember. He shits on Eisner, deletes the tweet, blocks anyone who mentions it, then issues a non-apology days later saying he really meant to go after Kirby.

It was Eisner, not Kirby. Same difference, though. The idea of Aaron Diaz calling anyone else mediocre is one of the funniest statements possible.

We all know of Ghost Rider and his awesome flaming bike, and we know about Silver Surfer silver surfing on his Silver surfboard, but what other characters are there that are characterized by their mode of transportation?
