Nute Gunray Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I suspect that by 2007 we'll see the X-Men fighting Spiderman, the Hulk, and the Punisher all at once and it will kill off all superhero movies for decades. oh yeah, and Blade. Can't forget Blade. Hot goth vampires here I come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tierce Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I don't think Marvel (the guys who developed the Hulk, Spiderman, X-men, Daredevil and Blade) is stupid enough to do that. They obviously hit a gold mine and if they can keep on putting out quality movies, then i don't see superheroe movies going away. I am just waiting to see what DC can pull out of their collective ass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Marvel's kinda backed into a hole though. Rogue got some of her powers from Miss Marvel, so it's not like they can just ignore all the crossing over they've done. At least DC comics has storylines that don't involve other characters (batman is always batman and his justice league adventures don't seem to affect his batman adventures). But Spiderman, for example, definitely had runins with the Punisher and Blade as major parts of his story, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tierce Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Yeah, we were having a discussion about that in my AP Gov class today. Go figure... Marvel plots are too intricate to be comic book faithful...In the Xmen movies they have to straight up erase most of the personalities of the characters that were developed in the comics, such as Rouge. The only good thing that could come out of all of the plot mixing is that they will never be starved for an idea, plus superhero cameos could make the movie better anyway...such as in Hulk, it would be kick ass to see some of the Avengers involved in it.

Flying Beastie Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Originally posted by Nute Gunray batman is always batman and his justice league adventures don't seem to affect his batman adventures Largely because Batman is a flaming a$$hole who treats the rest of the JLA like dirt (except for Supes & Diana; they're friends). I'm glad you're all here. Superman sends apologies for his uncharacteristic absence. Batman, characteristically, does not apologize. --Martian Manhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Beastie Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 *tips hat to a fellow JLA reader* And now, the JLA casting call: For Superman, I'd recommend Paul Gross (Canadian actor, starred in Due South and most recently in Men With Brooms). It would take some doing, since I think he's retired from acting to focus on his country music career, but he has the perfect face and voice for Superman. I'm actually more partial to the George Clooney Batman than to any of the others, though I must admit that Kilmey plays a better Bruce Wayne. Not a big fan of the Keaton version, 'cause he just seemed more of a brawler than the sinuous acrobat that Batman should be. I'd nominate Marina Sirtis as Wonder Woman, both for her classical beauty as well as the "proto-Greek" accent she used on Star Trek TNG --the appropriate accent for Diana, given her Greek ancestry. Kiefer Sutherland would make a great Aquaman if he grew his hair long. Star Trek Voyager alum Robert Duncan Macneill would make an excellent Flash, as he can manage both "serious" and "party guy" so adroitly. I think Billy Zane would make a good Kyle Rainer Green Lantern, though I'm thinking of him more as the "heroic goofball" in The Phantom than as the "badass wannabe" in Titanic. Samuel L. Jackson is a shoe-in as Martian Manhunter, who's basically a big green version of Mace Windu. My dream JLA lineup also includes Plastic Man and Steel, so I'll cast thm as well. I'm going to avoid the obvious choice of Jim Carrey as Plas (I think Carrey'd make a better Joker m'self), instead calling out Sam (or is it Ted?) Raimi (best known as Joxer, in Xena), because he's just more believable doing pathos than "trying-too-hard" Carrey (Plas' tragic side is a critical theme of the character). The character of Steel is of course written explicitly for Shaq, so I couldn't rob him of it, for better or worse. Besides, Shaq is the only one who can tower over everyone else as Steel should. The current cast is more problematic; Major Disaster would need a huge "high-school quarterback" actor, the Jon Stewart Green Lantern needs a suitably straight-laced "military" African-American actor, perhaps Laurence Fishburne (from the Matrix, of course). Nicole DeBoer (currently on The Dead Zone) would fit as Faith, though Manitou Raven is hard to cast, since most Native American actors tend towards big & brawny, rather than the fast-hardened stringbean that Manitou is. The Atom could be just about anyone, though I'd recommend someone fairly young (as he was de-aged during the whole Zero Hour event a few years back).

GUNNER Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 You want a kick ass X-MEN movie? Then this is what you need. Remy is a tard and is not considered to me to be an original X-MEN. You need Colossus, Logan, Kurt Cyclops, beast and bobby and Phoenix. You need to have Scotts brother Havok in the picture some how as well as Banshee. You need Gladiator and the rest of the imperial gaurd. your Foes should include the Sentinals, Juggernaut and Black Tom Cassidy, maybe the Phalanx and it looks like they might get the brother hood of evil mutants together Maybe a movie where they take on Mutant X like in the comics. Rouge has to show way more cleavage, but then again she has to have some to begin with. Logan needs his mask and Scott needs his visor not glasses. The new X-MEN comics are trash, you want the good ones you need to go back and get the ones from the 78-80s era when John Byrne did the art work. I think my first one is issue number 106 from around 1976. Those are art work, the new ones are fugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
