Well here's something I never saw coming. Adam McKay will direct the movie adaptation of Irredeemable for FOX based on Mark Waid's great comic. I had no idea this was even picked up for a movie.

Squirrel Girl could work as a cartoon, something akin to a Pixar movie. It would never work in the MCU.

Or instead of focusing on her power level you focus on her being chipper, optimistic and slightly over the top despite her silly power set? Nor does she need to be serious. Frigging Deadpool is one of the most profitable superhero films ever.

Like just imagine a Doreen Green being an intern at Stark Industries, who is super hyper and keeps trying to talk to Tony. She begs him to let her be his sidekick, says what her powers are, and he blows her off. Then in a stinger you have her shown having beaten some supervillain or having talked them into doing something better with their lives.

You could toss her into a Spider-Man movie as Peter's classmate, or Young Avengers.

You don't make movies out characters that barely make waves in the comics. That's why you're also never going to see a Nova, Red Wolf, Starbrand, Spider-Man 2099 movie or solo movies for characters like Hawkeye and Vision.

That's pretty piss poor reasoning.

The idea that people are equating Wolverine and Deadpool with Squirrel Girl as joke characters is ridiculous. That's just arguing in bad faith and you know it. Neither have ever been actual joke characters like what Squirrel Girl became.

I'm curious to know what people think of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film, not so much as an adaptation, and more as its own thing. I was thinking of re-watching it recently, not having done so in more than 10 years. I saw it when it came out - I would have been about 12 - and I had it on VHS, and I remember thinking it was really clever to use all of these characters from Victorian literature as a kind of Justice League (which was incidentally the newest entry in the DCAU at that time). Of course, I subsequently read the comics and realised it was much bigger than "just" this 19th-century Justice League, but it will be interesting to see how it holds up on its own.

It provoked a bit of a mini-boom in movies that used a similar stylistic approach. Van Helsing, obviously. I feel as though it is itself influenced considerably by the Blade movies.

It's also weird as hell that Tony recruited him instead of, y'know, Jessica Jones.

Grandmaster is an elder of the universe, like the Collector in GOTG (at least in the comics)

Instead of getting stuff, he's obsessed with games

Everyone's favorite rear end in a top hat, Devin Faraci, is saying that the current direction for Flash is that it will be a buddy team movie with Flash and Cyborg.

Sue looks like a Greg Land, but they all look to be copy pasted from a few different sources. The coloring doesn't match on a few of them.

Neither Thor 2 nor IM 2 are as bad as the tragic tire fire of a mess of a "film" that is IM 3, the movie that goes out of its way to poo poo on disabled people for the cowardly action of wanting missing limbs back

I do not understand what is being said in terms of her "being his monument" and how those pictures establish that.

For some reason I have the strange belief that the Batman in SS isn't Affleck. I'm sure
It's Bruce and all and that is the same character, but I don't think I've ever seen tea confirmation that Ben is in it. Am I wrong?

MacheteZombie posted:

Haha I always forget about this origin:

Black Manta has some different origins, but here’s hoping they go with the 1993 version, where he was shanghaied and sexually assaulted on a boat, causing him to hate the sea and everything associated with it - including Aquaman

I mostly just like her character for her attempts at saying "Mjolnir". She was pretty decent comic relief though.

Her character is an idiot, they kind of already didn't have a good reason for her to be in the 2nd one.

Did they even have a big fight scene in Batman Begins? I honestly don't remember one happening.

Even then, they all have super strength, so it becomes more about Batman outsmarting them. Batman generally doesn't fight normal dudes who are just good at martial arts.
