Yeah, it’s too bad we can’t have cross-overs. The Thing was quite the solo guest star hero for awhile. I preferred him to Wolverine.
OTOH, having multiple large production companies competing to do these stories “right” whatever that is for comic books - is probably very healthy for us.
Hey, I’m not saying it wouldn’t be convoluted. Spider-Man (at least the old ones, not sure about the newest version) is as big or bigger than anyone else in the cinematic marvel universe. In my opinion, he’s a bigger draw for kids and families and just general audience. My parents, in their 50s and neither regular movie-goers, made it a point to see the Spider-Man films in the theater. I think there’s lots of casual viewers like that. And Wolverine has been Marvel’s most popular character by far since the 80s. It’s only very recently that Iron Man has jumped to the forefront, and that’s all RDJ. He would have been just as popular playing any A-lister.
I really want to see Hulk and The Thing fight on the big screen. Damn.
Jeez, you know, as advanced as CGI is getting, it’s hard to understand why we can’t have a live-action Marvel TV show that features superheroes. (Not counting SHIELD here because it’s not about the supers.)
Why the hell can’t we have a decent Spider-Man TV series?
The X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Thisand thismake me want to barf a little. No, more than a little. A lot.
I can’t imagine how Quicksilver could possibly look worse.
He could have pigtails.
What, he smoked too much in the mansion and Prof. X made him think he was a little girl?
Forget the Byrne/Bendis “Manipulate probability because she’s a temporal nexus” (no–seriously–that was Byrne) crap. A lot of the fuckuppery with her powers came from the period where everything had to have a SCIENCE! reason. Cyclops didn’t shoot zap beams from his body absorbs light which power interdimensional apatures in his eyes which were (I’m NOT making this up) gateways to a non-Einsteinian universe where (IIRC) photons have mass or some such crap. Really dudes? That’s better than “His eyes produce zap-beams because…mutant”?
The solution is to just give her back her original explanation for her powers and suddenly she becomes easy to explain: She twiddles her fingers and things break or catch fire or explode.
Or the alternate explanation: she twiddles her fingers and bad guys get bad luck.
Easy-as-pie.
All that said, I get that they’re gonna screw with the costume, but dammit, she’d better have that tiara-thing.
In her first few years, she had black hair (http://d1466nnw0ex81e.cloudfront.net/n_iv/600/898631.jpg) but since the '70s, she’s been a redhead or a brunette.
