After three days the top three goes to the final. f*** anyone saying something else. Go f*** yourself before posting that you disagree with this system. f*** outta here.
Other than that, woo! :aww:
Didn't include characters that only have a tiny, tiny, ass part. Such as Greer and Munn. Deal with it.
And they are obviously in the order of the poll. Number one is top left, number two is second from the left in the top row and so on. You all f***ing understand it.
The Avengers is very interesting, as it's Joss Whedon who writes/directs it, and it ties up closely with both the Iron Man, Thor and the Captain America film franchises.

Internet's favourite Son. Personally think he's over rated and dated.
The fact you've just over-rated him!
Angel was really hit and miss, Titan AE was toss, Firefly was so good it lasted a whole season! Even Buffy died on its arse after 4 seasons in terms of enjoyment.
I chose the wrong place to air my views about the internet's darling Joss Whedon. DAMN YOU INTERNET! :lol:
Ant-Man is the latest superhero to get a film commissioned.
Personal taste = Fair enough.
Trying to make a point saying a man that's only really done two things since 2005 (one an award winning web-series) is dated and only Internet geeks like him. = :dowie: Of course shows that are six years and older will be dated today.
Dollhouse was terrible.
Firefly didn't feel fresh at all. Can't understand people's love for it. A Western in Space, I get it, but the characters and the plot were just.. average (at best). As for the 'he was around before the internet was big' comment. He was around for the vocal internet's youth, they grow up on Buffy, and now champion him on the internet 10 years on.
Its not so much the content of the pop culture reference he used that dates the show, its the fact that he always goes for it. I associate it with the MTV 90s cheap TV. I need a joke, OK, I know, random pop culture quip, everyone loves them and they're easy to write!
Firefly didn't feel fresh at all to me. I can't understand why people like other things than me.Your comment about the Internet geekdom is still just silly. What about LOST, if any recent show has had an online geekdom it's that show. Or Smallville. Or Supernatural. Or The OC. Or One Tree Hill. Can you see the pattern? It's shows aimed at tweenies. (With the exception of LOST), with the way Internet is being used today these shows tend to be discussed a lot online, as other things that people enjoy (such as NUFC and football in general for one). There's actually very few people left that are hardcore Whedon lovers online these days as they've moved on. Sure, there are Buffy/Angel lovers, but these as well did not enjoy Dollhouse. It's really quite simple, you don't like Whedon and don't rate his shows as "good". Why try to label it as something else? There's loads of people I don't enjoy the work of, I don't try to make up s*** about their fans only being Internet geeks. I just say I'm not too fond of that particular person and/or film/show.
:lol: What the hell is going on in here?
:lol: What the hell is going on in here?
Obi is missing my point entirely and tries to ride it off by calling me an Internet geek instead of arguing his point, mainly because he doesn't have one. He just likes calling people Internet geeks.
Well I never expected this in a comic book related thread.......
Atleast they're not arguing over whether Lois Lane could have Superman's baby.Well I never expected this in a comic book related thread.......
It's great, can't beat a good nerd fight :lol:

My entire argument have been to make you understand personal opinion is not fact. You've been arguing that Joss Whedon is the Internet's champion and that you don't like his type of show. I've been arguing that his shows from a writer's viewpoint are actually very good, and were even used as examples of how to write dialogue well during my time at college. My main issue have been being called an Internet geek because I jumped to Whedon's defence. I mean, sure, I'm well versed on what's "hot" on the Internet most of the time as I spend a lot of time in front of a computer screenavoiding actual workworking. But the fact that I do enjoy Whedon's shows and writing shouldn't make me one, as due to my Internet "geekdom" I know he's not a hot onion online these days. Whedonverse is practically dead, and most of today's tween target audience aren't really that aware of Whedon.
I tried to argue that because you didn't like it didn't mean it was "bad", and that you should just say that you didn't like him for these reasons and not try to make the point that the "Internet" loves him and that's why he's still in a job. In your eyes the Whedonverse is not good entertainment, and it's most likely shared by a fair few others, which is more than fair enough. But as mentioned, my biggest pet hate is when people try to pass their personal taste off as fact for the majority. I accept wholeheartedly that you don't like Whedon, I can even understand why he's not appeling to you through what you've said. But it's not the point, my point is that you've been trying to undermine his work and the people that do like it by saying they're "Internet geeks that champion him". Everybody have fans online. Everybody. Why is that a point worth making? Why not just say you don't like his work? Why try to ridicule anyone that do like him? That's my beef. That's what I've been trying to argue against. But it keeps seeming like we're missing eachothers points, or that you're just missing mine on purpose. Not to mention that you keep headlining your points by continually proclaiming you've made the Internet angry and needing a firewall. It really does not help your point at all.
You've done that twice now.
You say I'm giving opinion as fact, but then in turn do it yourself.
No, my point was, if you say anything bad about Joss Whedon on an internet forum, you'll usually get flamed to high heaven within minutes. Which sort of happened in this thread.
Ryan Reynolds should have just played The Flash and called it a day. I do like him from back in the Two Guys and a Girl days, and with The Flash being my favoured hero I reckon he would have been perfect for Wally West, in that cheeky charming way.
Also on a related note -
Eric from True Blood should have been cast as Thor.
Most likely he wanted the gig, went and pitched his best idea to the studio who also liked it, and had a CV that meant they could justify giving him the gig. It's not looking more complicated than that at the moment and that's how it usually happens. :thup:When was the last time a Whedon project was financially successful out of interest?

Someone was chelping on Empire or somewhere about why the studios let Abrams do what he wants compared to Whedon...$$$$$$ being the answer.
We asked him how they made the decision to hire Joss despite his having only directed one feature film (2005's "Serenity").
"I've known Joss for many years. We were looking for the right thing and he came in and met on it," ," Feige explained. "As you've already heard him say on his panels, he's incredibly intelligent, he's got great things to say about it, and if you look at the directors we've worked with, we hire directors who have the potential to do great things and we want our film to be that great thing."
suppose what i'm saying (and probably Kenobi but he'll doubtless argue with me for the sake if it ;))
DEADLINE EXCLUSIVE: Chris Nolan is lining up actresses he'll meet for two female lead roles in The Dark Knight Rises, the third installment of the Batfranchise which Warner Bros has dated release on July 20, 2012. I'm told one of the roles is a love interest for Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne, and the other is a villain. The actresses are: Rachel Weisz, Naomi Watts, Blake Lively, Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway and Keira Knightley. Nolan is keeping the roles under wraps, just the way that he did when he drafted his Inception star Tom Hardy to come aboard to likely play a villain. Deadline broke that story October 13.
You put Hathaway in some clown makeup and that Harley Quinn suit, and you have a f***ing movie. All of those women aside from Portman and Lively are too talented to play love interests, imo.are you alright in the head?
What other thread? :doh:
Nah, thought I had started a thread that had already been started (again)! Not sure I'm going to be able to buy into Ryan Reynolds being three different superheroes.3? deadpool, gl and...?
Well, third is a distant shout, Hannibal King in Blade.ah yeah, which he was f***ing awesome in like
Green Lantern

Hmm.
I was canny young when I seen Ghost World the movie. I'm not sure I 'got it', even though there was nothing to get. I'll probably revisit it in the coming weeks like and fully appreciate it.
I've got Scott Pilgrim, All Star Superman & Y - The Last Man ready to read. I'm open to any recommendations of comics/graphic novels that have blown minds.
Death the high cost of living is a good little book
planet hulk is also a very good read
then you have the batman must reads :
year one, the dark knight returns, hush, the long halloween, arkham asylum
then if you can find them, check out any of the older lobo stuff
the last czarnian, lobos back, portrait of a victim, paramilitary xmas special
ohh they also did and animated movie for planet hulk which is not bad(comics are still better though) and Batman : Under the red hood. which is just awesome
LOS ANGELES, NOVEMBER 11, 2010 – Atlas Entertainment announced today it is rebooting the beloved franchise, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with Warner Bros. Pictures. Atlas' Charles Roven and Steve Alexander will produce the feature film alongside Doug Davison and Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment (The Ring, How to Train Your Dragon, The Departed). Whit Anderson is writing the script.
Warner Bros. Pictures optioned the rights from creators Fran and Kaz Kuzui, and from Sandollar Productions (Sandy Gallin and Dolly Parton), for Atlas and Vertigo to produce. Buffy the Vampire Slayer first appeared as a film in 1992, subsequently becoming a cult hit and spawning the wildly popular television series starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz, among many others.
"Whit approached us with an exciting idea about how to update Buffy," said Roven. "There is an active fan base eagerly awaiting this character's return to the big screen. We're thrilled to team up with Doug and Roy on a re-imagining of Buffy and the world she inhabits. Details of the film are being kept under wraps, but I can say while this is not your high school Buffy, she'll be just as witty, tough, and sexy as we all remember her to be."
This is a sad, sad reflection on our times, when people must feed off the carcasses of beloved stories from their youths — just because they can't think of an original idea of their own, like I did with my Avengers idea that I made up myself.
Obviously I have strong, mixed emotions about something like this. My first reaction upon hearing who was writing it was, "Whit Stillman AND Wes Anderson? This is gonna be the most sardonically adorable movie EVER." Apparently I was misinformed. Then I thought, "I'll make a mint! This is worth more than all my Toy Story residuals combined!" Apparently I am seldom informed of anything. And possibly a little slow. But seriously, are vampires even popular any more?
I always hoped that Buffy would live on even after my death. But, you know, AFTER. I don't love the idea of my creation in other hands, but I'm also well aware that many more hands than mine went into making that show what it was. And there is no legal grounds for doing anything other than sighing audibly. I can't wish people who are passionate about my little myth ill. I can, however, take this time to announce that I'm making a Batman movie. Because there's a franchise that truly needs updating. So look for The Dark Knight Rises Way Earlier Than That Other One And Also More Cheaply And In Toronto, rebooting into a theater near you.
Leave me to my pain!
Sincerely,
Joss Whedon.
See you found the right thread. :razz:

His 'Son' moment was confusing (even for people who had seen the Christopher Reeve uncut Superman movies).
What did you like about it? Chances are the bad parts are stained into my mind now.

there's a lot to dislike i agree, in fact now you mention it i'm struggling to see how the positives outweigh the negatives but Routh was f***ing perfect (in the sense that he nailed a reeves like superman)
i suppose i liked it because they tried very hard to fit into the existing, previous films instead of just wiping the slate clean...in that sense i expected the sequel that is now never going to come from singer to be very strong once the background s*** was out of the way, much like x-men & sequel
i actually liked the son part and how they linked it to brando and all that, it was handled it little lamely i agree but the setup for the next film was there for me - villains trying to take him down via the bairn and it all kicking off
also followed the superman as jesus allegory pretty well
Almost finished reading Crisis on Infinite Earth (the DC reset/reboot of their comic universe from the 80's). Been a decent read so far, should probably get around to finishing reading all of Marvel's Civil War series.
I don't think Superman Returns was worse than Superman 4, however. Superman 4 should be blasted into the Sun! :lol:
Superman Returns was too bland to be worse than anything. It was just there.

A tremendous read. Possibly the only one of the giant crossover 'event' stories that either Marvel or DC ever published that actually delivered what it was supposed to. Marv Wolfman and George Perez at their very best as well.
its worse than superman 4 and thats some serious camp. right there. superman gets scratched by a dude with radioactive fingernails:lol: f*** off man
Where bouts is the tyneside market Chris?
For some reason never really got into the Marvel comics. Love the TV shows and movies, but the comics have never grabbed me. Someone said the Ultimate Series was a lot better (and darker). Think that's what I need.
The Thor movie looks really pap.

Surprised they're still running the X-Men/Wolverine franchise. I thought the last Wolverine movie didn't do too well?was just reading about it, took $85m in it's opening weekend or something!! overall was a pile of s*** like but they're trying to take it a different way with Aronofsky it seems

Silver Surfer. :iamatwat:
Think he's had like 20 issues (in total across multiple series) since 2000 with him in (and not always as the main character). The only time I remember the Silver Surfer appearing and being decent, was in the 90s in one of the Hulk annuals where he bossed the Hulk for a few pages before Hulk SMASH!
Silver Surfer is a total fag.
Are you sure you weren't just tripping while watching Kung Fu? I'm sorry, Mike, I'm ripping on SS and I've probably only read like 3 issues with him appearing, I don't really know him. Reminds me of Joe Satriani though.
Kevin Spacey is a good Lex Luther, and the first half of the movie has some great build up similar to the 1st Superman movie. I thought it fell to bits in the 2nd half, though some people enjoyed it, still worth the watch. Just don't come back and tell us its worse than Superman 4 like AfroP. :lol:

Honestly not too many good comic movies.
:lol: I started when I was 9, and stopped when I was 17.
I remember when I was like 12 or some s*** and my friend got his books before me and rode his bike across town and burst in the house and was like "Everyone dies!" when the Infinity Gauntlet story was going. I remember us getting on the bikes and zooming to his house and just reading books for hours after that.
The Onslaught s*** was just winding down when I stopped caring. Think that was a good era to be in on it. Marvel was class, Image was just starting up with Spawn and all that. Good stuff.
:smitten: Wednesday used to be the f***ing day, man.

I've honestly never read an issue of Batman.
I mean, I've read Year One and Dark Knight Returns, among others, but I never went into the store and bought a Batman.
Did I just see you, Chris? At the shops going out on your bike with that green newcastle top on?
I was on my bmx, locking it up. I only seen you because I was having a spy at your bike. A minute later in the post office it clicked that it might have been you. Maaaaybe.

haha. I would have won too!
Worst thing about that film was the bit where he lifts the planet of kryptonite into outer space.
I also didn't like the portrayal of Lex Luthor as a guy who wanted to wreck things. He was more of wants to be in power kinda guy. The casting of Kevin Spacey was good though.
With Christopher Nolan directing his last installment, “The Dark Knight Rises,” it looks like neither he nor Warner Bros. are ready to let go of huge comic tentpole just yet. Plans are to reboot it entirely—but with Christopher Nolan overlooking the process. “We have the third Batman, but then we’ll have to reinvent Batman,” Warner Bros. chief Jeff Robinov said. Asked if he meant a reboot, he said: “I do. Chris Nolan and [producing partner and wife] Emma Thomas will be producing it, so it will be a conversation with them about what the next phase is.”
WB says they will reboot the Batman franchise after The Dark Knight Rises with Nolan being the producer of the reboot series.QuoteWith Christopher Nolan directing his last installment, “The Dark Knight Rises,” it looks like neither he nor Warner Bros. are ready to let go of huge comic tentpole just yet.

What a f***ing pile of s****. It's bad enough that Spider-Man is being rebooted after one fairly poor film but to be announcing a reboot of a so-far sucessful franchise?
Sorry but they can shove this up thier f***ing arse.
No need to re-boot it, ffs. Just keep it going.
If they wanted to do something different, then why not adapt the batman Beyond storyline to film?
Aye, 'reboot' isn't too bad. They could move the whole thing forward 10 years and have an older Batman, for example, since most of these movies are within year 1-3 of Batman's Comic Life storyline wise.

This would no matter what be Nolans last Batman (with regards to writing and directing), and to be honest I'd prefer a reboot rather than some f***er coming in messing with what Nolan's created just for it to fail spectacularily and potentially devalue Nolan's work. This ala the Burton to Schumacher process in the 90s films, thinking about it still makes me shudder. :harry:
The Spider-Man thing I agree with though, they only rebooted that because the studio refused to let Raimi use, firstly, The Lizard as the villain due to the studio wanting a human face. Then secondly refusing him to use Vulture as they feared he'd not sell enough toys. Then, after Raimi throws his toys out of the pram and leaves the project, taking Maguire with him, they decide to have The Lizard be the main villain in the reboot. I mean, come on! :lol:
Think it should be pointed out that he's taken the best parts of several highly successful comic stories and moulded them into two decent movies. Smart move, really.

of course, but was the 'terrorist' aspect to TDK ever from a comic, i'm kind of hoping it wasn't because i like to think they used that to bring it all together
i read some batman stuff so i know 'terrorist' is in the joker's remit from there but i mean that specific storyline
Well, nothing to the actual Batman story if you want to be precise, but that's not what would mess it up. He's created a Gotham and "universe" as good as it's beeb on live-action film before, and asking someone to recreate the feel he's added to the films is a big ask. Again, just look at the Burton/Schumacher transition from "cool s***" to "Holy camp, Batman!" as a reference of how bad someone might make something great if the wrong person gets their hands on it.
However, the court also ruled that if Warner Bros. does not start a new Superman film by 2011, the family will have the right to sue to recover damagesprobably old news, but explains the sudden desire to reboot a Superman movie so soon.
Got Arkham Asylum waiting to be read.
Not really liking the look of The Green Lantern from the trailers I've seen.
The green people are really annoying to look at, I dunno if I could sit comfortable watching it. One of them looks like the villain from Lazy Town.

Resurrecting this thread because:frantic:Spoiler[close]
don't see the problem with a reboot myself, at the end of this trilogy they'll have created the finest and most profitable (?) comic book series ever made so why try to follow that and make a total shitsack of it?
a re-boot could mean anything, let's face it, they could drop into any of the thousands of story arcs from batman and look to do something original and fresh with the genre as they did with this series
I can't work how WHY they're doing it. Maybe there's something somewhere in the history that's clogged up potential storylines. The current one 'Flashpoint' is set in an alternate history, which makes me think that maybe they're scraping the barrel. The last DC reboot was over 20 years ago though, so that's not bad going at all, so I guess from a franchise point of view they might think its too complicated for new readers to fall in and pick up.
On the flip side Marvel seems to reboot every 5 years, and not even across the board! Which really puts me off wanting to invest into any of the stories.
But yeah, Batman is pretty complicated at the moment, and Superman has been in stand by mode for years, which is probably why Green lantern has been the backbone of DC lately.
Thor was okay.
I'm assuming Green Lantern hasn't opened in the UK yet? It's bad. Really, really bad.
And I'm supposed to be a fan :lol:

i love comic book films, LOVE them, but the moment i heard the plot i wanted my money back...and i didn't even pay to see the trailer
still think they should have refunded me the c***s
The premise isn't the problem with Green Latnern. It's the terrible script, directing, and editing.
Oh, that and Blake Lively. I've never wanted to punch an attractive woman more.

seems to be more along the lines of the ultimate spiderman comics which is more of a re-imagining of the story rather than a reboot.
You keep saying 10 years, but that's a whole new generation of people to sell this new re-branding to. I don't mind it, now that I've seen the trailer. I think it looks decent, the showing of his parents is a nice touch and sets things up for the future (if they want to do a billion films).
Is it really 10 years since the 3rd spiderman movie?
Extremely early days, but it seems there's a reboot of 'The Flash' on the way too! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0439572/
Bit excited about this, mainly because I've only just got around to giving The Flash some time and my interest is at its peak at the moment.
No idea if its Barry Allen, or Wally West Flash though.
Who would you cast as The Flash?

Beren, don't worry there's a good mix of knowledge in this thread! I didn't thin Captain America was terrible, but it was little more than a mish mash of ideas that ultimately lead to nothing. Its just an introduction movie.
Isn't Man of Steel going to be directed by Christopher Nolan?
If it's anything like the new Batman films, its something to look forward to...
Can't beleive that DC are charging the full $2.99 for a digital download of the comic books (well I can really). Wan't digital delivery supposed to make everything cheaper because it didn't have any printing or packaging costs.
I don't know how a 'gritty' Supreman movie would work tbh. He's supposed to be whiter than white, probably one of the reasons I never really got into Supreman.
Could a Supreman fan tell me what the majority of his story arcs are about? He's almost invincible, super strong, fast, intelligent, has eye lazers and frost breath. How can there be any proper story to a Supreman comic? Is it always a recyling of evil guy gets kryptonite?
Although saying all that I recently read Red Son which was pretty freaking cool.Spoiler[close]

It's not much of an issue. He usually ends up fighting against Braniac/Doomsday/other Kryptonians who can match him for strength. Or Lex Luthor who just makes his life miserable and/or gets Kryptonite.
The failure of the series in recent years (hell, practically the last decade) hasn't necessarily been a lack of "big bads," but rather the failure to introduce realistic/interesting personal relationships into Superman's life. Everyone knows about Superman's supporting cast: he's married with Lois, works for Perry, and is best pals with Jimmy. Those relationships have grown so stale and archetypal and they've failed to introduce any enduring characters that he can interact with in different ways.
Given that just about every A-list writer DC has ever had has taken a shot and failed at Superman, there seems to be a fundamental problem at work. A lot of the aspects that make the character iconic just don't seem to mesh that well with modern culture.
At least he's got Wonder Woman around to make his books look successful in comparison :lol:
DC has went same-day digital since the relaunch so I decided to check out some of the new books on my iPad since they're only a click(or touch, I suppose) away anyway. Fully expected to hate everything.
So far I have been pleasantly surprised. All of the "flagship" titles so far: JLA, Action, Detective, Batman, WW are all good. Yes, OMG Wonder Woman doesn't suck!
In particular, the new Batman by Scott Snyder is probably the best comic I've read in a very long while.
The only issue I have is with the timescale. "Present day" is supposed to be only five years away from the "dawn of superheros" (which is the point where JLA, Action, and Detective are currently set in.) However, they'e decided not to erase most of the actual continuity. That means everything still happened. Within just five years.
Batman went through three robins, got his back broken, got it unbroken, conceived a child, died, and came back to life. Within the span of five years.
Green Lantern went insane and killed everyone, almost destroyed the universe, reignited the sun, died, was reborn as God's avatar of vengeance, came back to being human, and did all that Sinestro Corps/War of Light/Blackest Night/War of the Green Lanters bullshit. Within the span of five years.
This "trying to clean up continuity but still keeping most of the major storylines by compressing everything" stuff is going to bite them in the ass eventually.
Aye, its madness when you realise all that s*** happened to him within a 5 year time frame. Basically every comic released is a 1 hour snippet into his life... if that. Madness.
snippet: "Merging with the robotic Architects that maintain Vanishing Point, he has had his memory wiped once more and allows the Hyper Adapter to possess his body, so that he can bring it back to the present day 21st century using the Time Sphere that his allies arrive in."
I've been working my way through the comics in 'proposed' chronological order (not the dates they were released by when events are supposed to have taking place). Currently up to Knightfall.
So between Batman becoming Batman, and Knightfall, which can only be about 18 months after he becomes Batman the following has happened:Spoiler[close]

:blush: I know OCK is going to give me s***, but Netflix added this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_%28manga%29#Plot) show a few months back and I've just recently finished watching it.
I cannot recommend it enough. It's not stereotypical anime bullshit, it's actually just like a real show. Outstanding stuff.
I haven't read it. There is a series. If you have a watch list, add it to that.
Moved on to Ultimate Elektra & DareDevil, which so far have been decent! They're clearly chick comics, but the stories and art are actually worthwhile. Never bothered with DD/Elektra before, but so far I'm finding it interesting.
Daytripper is a comic book series from Vertigo that focuses on the life of Bras de Oliva Domingos at different ages in his life. Each issue deals with a separate issue in life, ranging from being overshadowed by the work of his parents to the birth of his first child, and how precious each of these moments are in one's life. Unfortunately, Bras never gets to enjoy those moments, as the series runs a gimmick that features Bras de Oliva Domingos dying at the end of each issue.
Bought Animal Man and I Vampire from the DC New 52 brand. Both were recommended to me at the Traveling Man, both have been really good. Deffo going to buy the rest of the currently released comics for both these series.
The bloke who suggested them also said the new batman and swamp thing comics are awesome as well as Scott Snyder is doing the stories. So I promptly went to ebay and bought all the batman issues out so far, I then saw the new Flash comics and bought them as well. Never spent so much on comics in my life (£35) :embarrassed:

I'm surprised, and happy, that its managed to stay open for so long. Didn't realise there were so many comic nerds in Newcastle (especially with Forbidden Planet a few units up the street).
You don't get that smell in Forbidden Planet. You get stale sweat and crusty underwear. Its cleaner now, but man, it used to be a s*** hole. I'm tempted to go in tomorrow and take photos to show you. :lol:
As for 'Monster' I'm not sure... I made an attempt to find EP1 but it wasn't easy. Animation looked decent.
I waste all my money in Forbidden Planet in Dublin. No smell :lol: I sometimes get an impression of elitism from some of the staff but generally they're helpful enough. I don't really buy that many comics (mainly, yes you guessed it, Star Wars ones from time to time) but looking at two walls full of comics is awesome.
Nah I missed out on them (I was a bit young at the time. I can only get them in Dublin and going there regularly wasn't an option at the time). Been meaning to get the omnibus at some point.

Where's the best place to order comics online?
Recently dipped my toes into the Comic world ordering Complete Maus, Watchmen and Walking Dead #1.... seem pretty pricey though, Walking Dead was £5+ for what I'm assuming is one issue.

"When you see this movie, kids will believe one day that these turtles do exist, when we're done with this movie. These turtles are from an alien race, and they're going to be tough, edgy, funny, and completely lovable." - Michael Bay
The script is being written by André Nemec and Josh Appelbaum (Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol). No director's been named but Jonathan Liebesman (Battle: Los Angeles, Wrath of the Titans) is reportedly in talks.

Why does Spiderman look like a s*** Deadpool?Its the new costume he's been working on to fight the Sinister Six. The story line is from this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ends_of_the_Earth_(Marvel_Comics) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ends_of_the_Earth_(Marvel_Comics)) it started in Amazing Spider-Man 682
I've slacked so much on the new 52.???
I'm fairly new to comic books so I don't know how good it is in comparison to others but its fairly enjoyable. Its a nice premise at least.
Anybody seen this new Avengers V X-Men? Forbidden Planet in Dublin were making a big deal out of it recently.

I went to a parochial school, and in first grade, they gave us a bible. When I left in 8th grade, I was done with religion, so...I've only owned one bible, and that s*** had all the text, and these little crudely drawn pictures on the side or in a corner.
I'm not going to act like I wasn't just looking at the pictures like a motherfucker. I was.
But I thought all Bibles had the pictures.

Going tomorrow so it should be $610, shame to see an indie film like this struggling.
Yeah.
Still have Spiderman and Batman movies. There isn't a MEME to show how I feel about THAT.
I think I read somewhere that the Avengers Blu-Ray will have nearly an extra hour of footage on it, showing more Captain America (who really had very little in the Avengers movie).
She found The Avengers entertaining, even she was laughing at someone else's child getting hyper whenever the Hulk was on. (Should probably tell her I'm not ready for a sprog).
Can someone who has seen the film recommendSpoiler[close]
The Avengers is very interesting, as it's Joss Whedon who writes/directs it, and it ties up closely with both the Iron Man, Thor and the Captain America film franchises.
Internet's favourite Son. Personally think he's over rated and dated.

Anyone reading anything good? Going to wait a year or so before I read any more Walking dead.
Are you sure you weren't just tripping while watching Kung Fu? I'm sorry, Mike, I'm ripping on SS and I've probably only read like 3 issues with him appearing, I don't really know him. Reminds me of Joe Satriani though.
:lol: I know no one will listen, but SS was awesome back when I was a kid and he was f***ing around with Thanos and all those useless space characters they made.
Plus every once in a while f***ing Impossible Man would pop up and that was always quality.
Ah right, you just seem fairly knowledgeable about it all :lol:
I never read comics as a child, impossible to get in rural Ireland really :lol: So its only now that I've started reading them. I don't know why I've always seemed to know about the major plot lines from Marvel though. I guess its from the 90s cartoons and the video games.

X Men animated series in the 90s was incredible!
I have wanted to get into the comics ever since watching that show, got a few but didn't really follow it up. Kinda wana get into it but don't have a clue where to start?!
Out of interest, whats the year of the oldest comics you guys have?
Mines issue #1 of Legends of the Dark Knight 1989.

I don't actually read any Marvel lines at the moment although i have got quite a few from around 2006-2008/9. Im gonna start reading Captain America Vol 6, Vol 5 was what got me started reading comics when i was in America. Think ill give Invincible Ironman a go too.

If we do an Avengers 2 it will be after [Iron Man 3, Thor 2, Captain America 2]. They have to grow, they have to change. What they've gone through in this movie will impact their state of mind and where they stand in their next movies. Then whatever they go through in those movies is going to affect where we meet them in the next Avengers film. But I think people will be surprised to see, as we go forward — particularly in Iron Man 3 — the notion of how singular the stories can become. Iron Man 3 is a very singular Tony Stark story. As is Thor 2. Cap, who is stuck in the modern day with no friends or family, there will be some revelations of who is still alive from his days in WWII, but SHIELD and Nick Fury are kind of his confidants right now. So of all these movies, Captain America 2 will be most closely associated with Avenger

The Justice Society is a group of superheros that predates the Justice League. They were formed in the 40s and fought Hitler(:lol:) during World War II.
Following the war the government demanded that they unmask themselves, so they refused and went into retirement instead.
A modern day incarnation of the team exists which is composed of original members who for whatever reason have not aged (Green Lantern due to magic, Flash due to the speed force etc.) and "legacy heroes" who have taken on the identity of former members.
Essentially, they're the original heroes from the Golden Age of comics book who've been folded into the history of the DC Universe.
...The hitch being that due to the DC reboot, none of them exist anymore. All JSA/Golden Age related characters have essentially been wiped from the main DC universe in order to make it so that Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are the first super heroes.

DC plans to bring a prominent character out of the closet
DC Comics' New 52 has brought plenty of changes to its superpowered characters, but the publisher's policy has been not to change the sexual orientations of any existing characters. That's about to change, however, as DC co-publisher Dan DiDio announces plans to reintroduce an established character as gay.
Last year, DiDio told The Advocate that DC's plans were to introduce new gay characters rather than change the orientation of established characters. However, when asked about that policy at this weekend's Kapow! convention in London, DiDio said that plans had changed, and that a previously established DC character would be introduced in the New 52 universe as gay. DiDio told the audience that the character would become "one of our most prominent gay characters."
The question is: who will it be? It sounds like the character will be one who hasn't yet appeared in the New 52 (so that image above probably won't pan out). Will anyone's slashfic dreams pan out? And will the newly homosexual character be a hero or a villain?
:laugh: Give it up Mike, Andy Lau's not going to Hollywood!

Still can't believe how timeless the animation of Batman: The Animated Series is. Art work is simple, but it still works as it's captured the feeling of Batman so well.
That was the Batman theme from the movie too, wasn't it? Sure it's Danny Elfman.

Was thinking of this one.
I was thinking the other day that it's odd they've never bothered to revamp/reboot that franchise, considering all the ready made action figures they can sell with it. To think there was only 1 He-Man movie!

It was awful though, remember being excited for it and then it was mostly that little creature with occasional He Man :(

Has to be like the cartoon and not like that 80s fcking heap. Skeletor looked like he was addicted to speed and hadn't slept for months.
Batman #13.
Read. It. Now.
I would recommend this issue wholeheartedly to anyone who has any interest whatsoever in Batman as a character.
It's nothing profound, but this is as close as you get to pure, distilled entertainment.

Yeah, got the annual a few weeks ago, have started buying the weekly comic since. Really, really good. Great art and great character. Cracking opening line to the series, too. :lol:

dat an app?
New X-Men movie is sounding promising.brought back a few of the old cast haven't they? (1st 3 movies cast to be clear)
Yeah, they're bringin the Singer movies and the 1st Class movies together. The comic the story is based on is decent too, so it should work out well.oh so that shouldn't include movie 3 (please god don't include that or the wolverine one)
Just read up a bit on the plans for the new X-Men film. Well. I can't quite put into words how excited I am, it's like the thought of having Ben Arfa playing with Shearer and Robert.

" :megusta: I'll eat all that skin"
" :megusta: I'll eat all that skin"

I guarantee you the penciller drew it without the bucket and sent it in, and the editor was like "page 23 is good but Gwen's not feeling black to me, can we see some options?" So the penciller adds an FU bucket and now you now the rest of the story.
I miss comic books. :lol:
I want to go back through all my books from the 80's with black protagonists and find all the buckets they snuck in there.
I knew you'd forget about Luke Cage. And Storm! The X-Men, Mike. You might have heard of them. :lol:
I remember back in the 90's there was an arc where The Punisher was black, for like three months.
He lost his god damn mind when he found out he was black, iirc. Some "NOOOO!" level s***.
He lost his god damn mind when he found out he was black, iirc. Some "NOOOO!" level s***.
:lol: Remember being like, " ??? Punisher doesn't seem to want to be black."
So Punisher teams with Luke Cage--who had segued out of his '70s jive-talking days into a short-lived New Jack Swing phase--to fight drug dealers because that was very important during the early '90s and what else were they going to do? The three-issue arc (the final part of which is unfortunately titled "Fade to White") was cowritten by Marc McLaurin, who penned the '90s Luke Cage book and, uh, not much else. And, yes, Punisher gets pulled over by the cops within a day of being black.
Wait...they gave her a bucket of chicken for no reason at all? :lol: :lol:

Yeah pretty much my sentiments, looking forward to rereading in a month or two when the hype has settled. Snyder writes a good book though, and he has a really good handle on the character

Thanks for sharing, will get down there today.
I've gone into a comic buying frenzy recently. I started collecting with the DC new 52, got Animal Man, Swamp Thing, Batman, I Vampire and the Flash. The flash lasted 3 issues before I got bored, great art but poor story. I Vampire a bit longer but I stopped that too. Now going for Saga as well, although I missed the first 6 Issues I managed to find numbers 2,4 and 5 for 50p each in the travelling man bin. While rooting around I also found Wonder Woman no.3, Manhattan project 4 and the first two issues of Great Pacific which I'm going to start following.
Don't know what's happened but I'm really getting into BUYING comics. Already got a list of Image series I'm going to follow when they start :lol:
I've really enjoyed the Batman and Animal man arcs. Snyder and Lemire are good at what they do.

Was suppose to pick that up, along with a few back issues, today, but totally forgot. Will try again soon! Traveling Man is fast becoming my favourite store. I don't even feel like a nerd going in there. Unlike say... FORBIDDEN PLANET! Man, that place has a stigma that will never go away.
Yeah, I think she's still there.
The thing about FP is that I'll always remember it as the horribly grungey, cluttered, sweaty, beardy, ballsack store that sold a whole load of stuff but you'd never be able to find anything you wanted.

Mike & Dino - you guys seen the fuss over Saga 12? What a pathetic shambles, had to buy the comic from the Comixology website then read it on my laptop before eventually working out how to sync to App on my Nexus 7. It was horrible reading on the laptop compared to the Nexus, lost so much until I re-read once i'd worked out where it syncs to on the app. If it's all due to the images in question it's a shameful situation, and censorship of the highest order. Something doesn't ring right, heard they using it as a test to see if they can cut Apple and Googles fee from the Apps by getting people to buy through the webiste. May just have to switch to print if this continues.

I've allowed myself to hold some hope that this movie might actually turn out to be pretty good.
think that's going to be very entertaining, really hope they keep the origin story to an absolute minimum given it'll be the f***ing 3rd one committed to film
also, how does he shave the beard off? ???
I think a silent section while he shaves himself is a little more on the weird side. Unless you're Wormy.

"The breakout star of this summer's blockbuster AVENGERS film"
:serious: :yao:
Jean--Shut down his mind. Mentally tear his body apart.
Xavier--Shut down his mind.
Magneto--Are you serious?
Polaris--See above.
Joseph--See above.
Hulk--Brute strength.
Juggernaut--See above.
Colossus--See above (Wolverine does not have the strength/force required to pierce Colossus's organic steel. If he did, it would be another story. Check out the Adamantium vs. Colossus thread if you wish)
Cyclops--Leave him as holey as swiss cheese, hitting all of his vital organs at once, which will not allow him to regenerate in time to save him.
Psylocke--Couple ways. She is a much better martial artists, so she could beat the hell out of him, then snap his neck. Or she, too, could shut down his mind.
M--Brute Strength
Quicksilver--Knock him out before Wolverine knew what him him. Then proceed to break his neck.
Northstar--See above.
Storm--Lightning. Enough of it will fry Wolvie.
Bishop--He knows how to beat EVERYONE (basically).
Magma--Drench and then seal him in molten rock, magma if you will.
Iceman--Freeze him dead. Yes, this will kill you if you are frozen to the point where no bodily function can take place.
Sentinel--Has killed him before. Could do it again.
Beast--Hell, I think he can do it. Beast is underrated. He is FAR more agile is FAR stronger than Wolverine. It would be like Spiderman all over again. Just blue.
Havok--See Cyclops.
Blob--Wolverine's claws do nothing to his skin. Blob then proceeds to sit on him.
Nightcrawler--BAMF! Neck snap.
Banshee--Cause his head to explode.
Siryn--See above.
Emma Frost--See Jean, Xavier, or Psylocke.
Sunfire--Completely toast Wolvie to ashes.
Gladiator--I'm not going to even say why.
Sasquatch--Brute strength.
Cannonball--He could just pummel the life out of him. Completely invulnerable when in flight mode.
Shinobi Shaw--Can become intagible, then tangible inside of Wolvie's body. Imagine a hand suddenly appearing where your heart should be.
Sebastian Shaw--Brute strength.
Shadowcat--See Shinobi Shaw.
Rogue--Energy sap. Or, if this is old-school Rogue, brute strength.
Gambit--Enough cards will indeed cause massive bodily trauma (huge blood loss, destruction of very vital organs), causing death.
Rachel Summers--See any of the telepaths.
Sunspot--Brute strength.
Karma--Control his actions. Make him stab himself repeatedly till dead.
Legion--See any of the telepaths.
Archangel--Impale him with shard after shard from his wings.
Apocalypse--Exactly.
Dazzler--Cut him him up with lasers.
Longshot--He'd get very lucky. Wolvie would slip and accidently stab himself through his head.
Sinister--By not being able to die himself, he'd eventually wear Wolvie down. Then uh...do something.
Goblyn Queen--See any of the telepaths.
Cable--The man won't die! He'd fill Wolvie full of lead. That or uh...use his telepathic and/or telekinetic powers to defeat him. Cable's easily got this one.
Domino--See Longshot.
Forge--I'm sure he has some sort of weapon that would completely decimate the Canadian.
Multiple Man--Too many of them for Wolvie to handle. The real Jaime could just sit back and watch as his duplicates tear Wolvie apart.
Deadpool--Yea, I think he can do it.
Husk--Brute strength.
Chamber--Just plain blow him up with his energy.
X-man--Need I say more?
Onslaught--Seriously.
I would have to disagree with many on that list for several reasons
1) wolverine has been blown apart down to his skeleton by a juiced up Nitro before(happened in civil war) he still came back
2)in ultimate hulk vs wolverine. hulk ripped him in half and he somehow survived
3)he has fought many of the people on that list and always come out on top, sasquatch, hulk, magneto, sinister, deadpool
4)his training and experience is a massive difference maker
Just saw the Days of Future Past trailer.
Wolverine instead of Kitty/Bishop :lol: :lol: Dear me.
aye Kitty's was a secondary character in a (poor) movie that on release of DOFP will have been 8 years ago while Bishop is a complete unknown to anyone who didn't watch the 90's cartoon (adored it) or read the comics. Compare to Wolverine who is Wolverine. Also in the comics it was mind time travel iirc to possess her younger self and well she wasn't around for the era they're aiming for in this movies time travel while Wolverine was so if they use the same method then it makes perfect sense.Just saw the Days of Future Past trailer.

The Xavier protocols say a clean decapitation will do it - even with the way they've inflated his healing factor beyond recognition due to his popularity, he can't come back from everything.
Ultimate doesn't mean squat tbf.
When has he beat Magneto? Be very surprised (and disappointed) if that's from credible source material. As for Hulk, see World War Hulk. He's a nuisance to him, nothing more. The others are closer to being on his level. Sinister is a weird one - they change his power/level too often.
They weren't in a fight when that happened though so not sure what relevance it has. Magneto was just pontificating/lecturing to the other X-Men wasn't he?!Thing is Wolverine minus the adamantium is probably overall tougher than with it, lighter, faster, healing factor no longer half tied up dealing with the adamantium poisoning and magneto no longer tosses him around as he feels like it and actually has to work for his victory.
He then proceeded to rip out his adamantium skeleton as you say :lol: Even bone-claw Wolverine would be useless though. He couldn't get near Magneto and Magneto could beat him in any number of ways. It's a ridiculous mismatch - one of the most powerful mutants ever vs someone who couldn't beat Spiderman.
Don't get me wrong, Wolverine is a great character - in terms of entertainment - but he can't live in Magneto's league whatsoever. It's insane.
bought the full knightfall series from comixology - talk about f***ing epic man, 600 pages is decent for a book and there are 3 volumes each of 600 pages or more
the first volume is f***ing amazing, breaking the bat, second one i have a feeling is going to be a bit meh before ending well with the last one
amazing s*** though
Second one is filler-tastic, not sure if Bruce Wayne is in it at all! Working through the third volume now...

:lol: Thanos was a good guy? I must have been long gone by then.
They're building up Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet slowly throughout the films. He'll be the big bad in Avengers 3. We've seen two of the gems so far with the teseract and the aether.

i was queued for over an hour and gave up.
the queue went from the entrance to the arena right round both sides and to the end of the carpark
they were massively under prepared for the amount of people that turned up
The fact you have to pay people for a picture with them stopped me going.
Just makes me feel sad knowing Apllo Creed needs to do this.

they have a one down in london as well and stan lee is gonna be there, its £60 for a picture with him and a further £60 for an autograph. the dude that was the emperor is also going to be there and he's charging £70!!!
Peter Beardsley is there charging £15 a pop for a photo :lol:
The reason they charge so much is to limit the crowds somewhat. If you were charging a fiver for their autographs the queue would be a mile long and you'd have people wanting multiple items signed. This way it thins down the queue to those who really want it.

I feel obliged to mention that Arrow is very, very, very good now. If you have any interest at all in DC comics it's basically a weekly fangasm.

Just started watching Arrow after seeing the praise in this and other places, and gotta say that so far (ep 12) I find it pretty awful. Stupid weekly plots, awful soap opera stuff - Oliver's passably compelling as a character, but it really feels like a dumbed down CW show.Just wait, the first half of the first season is considered the worst, the back end of the first season it starts to become A decent show. Season two has taken it to a whole new level though. Currently we are on spree of episodes where each episode is class, with each episode getting rated 9/10 and the odd 10/10 for most episodes.
Only the first few eps and the Huntress ones were passable. God, is she hot.
Okay then, will keep watching :thup:
I find the island part interesting at least. I hope it doesn't up being Lost part deux.

The story with the island is what makes is so good in the latter half of the first season as well. Season 2 takes it to a different level. If you don't enjoy season 2 it's not for you.
if one thing annoys me now about arrow it's the frequency with which characters say "this city" and/or "save this city"
really hate repetitive dialogue personally

Is the fit white-haired Asian karate chick supposed to be a character from the comics?
Also, why the hell is Oliver revealing his secret identity to half the series' cast?
Yeah that does get kinda ridiculous :lol: Didnt he say something like "f*** it" recently :lol:Is the fit white-haired Asian karate chick supposed to be a character from the comics?

I thought Gotham looks great from the trailer. :lol:
Gotham could have been really good without the baby villains. A Gotham procedural with the city on a descent into hell.
Doesn't bode well that in the pilot they have thrown in Riddler, Penguin, Poison Ivy and Catwoman.

Serious question. If a show comes out on The CW do you immediately write it off? No consideration whatsoever? I find that so harsh. :lol:
It's not like Mike to stop supporting an organization just because they fail on a consistent and reliable basis

I genuinely have no idea what is happening on the CW. I don't know what's on it, I don't know what's going to be on it. I just thought it was f***ing hilarious that you were going nuts over a show on the f***ing CW. It just seems so absurd.
:lol: I'm actually watching it now, because NY tells it to f*** off for Yankee games.
Don't soften up you asshat. I wouldn't like you half as much if you weren't a dick. :lol:
Out of interest why does the CW get stick over there? Or is that just Mike being a dick.
Btw I don't think I have been this excited for a finale in a long time, the show has just been so good recently.
I'm having a blast :okay:I'm actually really looking forward to watching it, Mike be damned.
You can't watch the season finale having seen nothing so far man. :lol: So pointless.Also this :thup:

First season is definitely a mixed bag for me, but certainly ends on a high note.
Blatantly him gone back in time and taken his mother away isn't it? Figured the big twist out from the f***ing teaser trailer. Otherwise looks ok bar some wooden acting. Is this the dc stategy of facilitating the justice league movie?

Ok, watched episode 4.Yeah, I think it's because the person who played here in season 1 was just a stand in, as she was only in one scene. She's a good character but I think she's one of the weaker characters of the season.Spoiler[close]

Right, I'm going to watch the first episode of Arrow because I'm bored and it's on Netflix. I know nothing about it, but considering everyone except Mike loves it, I'm expecting something of the quality of True Detective.Dont judge it on the first half of season 1, the later half of that season, and Season are where it's at.

Got to say not a big fan of it but have seen sizable chunks of both seasons(most of the second to the end) but its ok. Can see why people love it and partly why others hate it as theres a lot of stupid in it. What i will say its comfortanbly better than SHIELD, that s*** was awful aside from the Hyrda takeover episode which actually nailed it far better than Cap2 did. Actually hated myself for watching the final few episodes after rightly giving up after 3.

Oh and if your looking for a new show, I would recommend Person of Interest, as would Mojo I would think.
I watched the first season of PoI when it was broadcast over here and I was rather unimpressed.
Summer Glau :rose:
You didn't give it nearly enough time to see her in all her glory. :huff:
Have you watched any of Season 2 yet? Genuine question.Summer Glau :rose:

I'd watch more just for her tbh, but I'd really be full of self-loathing afterwards. :lol:
Like really holy f***ing s***.:snod: but also :'(
Arrow 02x20: Holy f***ing s***.

I wish Ras Al Ghul showed his demon's head in season 3, but I suspect they will keep him in the shadows. He's very tied to Batman and they have the Gotham show coming up, he's actually one of the few A-list Batman villains they could use without turning him into a baby.Spoiler[close]

Different networks, so no obligation to leave him out. Also, Gotham will have a very young Bruce Wayne, who won't be running into The League Of Shadows for a very long time. Or at least f***ing shouldn't. Please don't, Fox, please.
How good is season two man? :lol: I feel sorry for the haters.I know, it so good :lol:

It has been rumored that on the upcoming movie, instead of playing Gwen Stacy, Stone will take and play the character of Mary Jane Watson - Peter's now wife and her previous character's rival.
The switch surely would be confusing as it seems as if this is the first time in film history where in the same movie franchise, one actress gets to play two different roles. If the rumors are true about Stone's character switch, the mind-boggling but intriguing part is how the story plot will flow to make the character shift fit in.
Another concern will revolve around Stone – will she be able to create an effective and distinctive distinction between the two characters?
So dumb I hope it's trueQuoteIt has been rumored that on the upcoming movie, instead of playing Gwen Stacy, Stone will take and play the character of Mary Jane Watson - Peter's now wife and her previous character's rival.

I've seen all the Marvel films now. I think their biggest problem is they've only had one decent baddie between them. The Batman films put them to shame in that regard. Do Marvel not have many interesting villains, or are they just making them boring and one-dimensional for the cinema?I know what you mean, Loki is the only real interesting villain, and that's because they developed the character more, as they had a plan with the character, it also helps Tom Hiddleston is a very good actor. But it feels like every other bad guy is there to feel that slot from film to film, so the focus is on the hero rather then the villain. I don't think the bad guy's a particularly bad, they are just not as flushed out as they could be, and I still have enjoyed every single marvel film, and I would say the villain thing is my only gripe with the Marvel films to date.
The second best Marvel villain was the Mandarin, and...Spoiler[close]
But yeah, I agree that weak villains is what's prevented Marvel films to reach greatness, imho, most just stop at "pretty good" because of that.

Are the villains better in the comics, then? Or are there better villains they just haven't used? Or did Nolan just spoil us with Bane and the Joker.
So dumb I hope it's truedidn't they cast a mary jane already but left her out of the last film because well it was too crowded?QuoteIt has been rumored that on the upcoming movie, instead of playing Gwen Stacy, Stone will take and play the character of Mary Jane Watson - Peter's now wife and her previous character's rival.

my problem with marvel, having read quite a lot of them now, is that no-one important ever dies...and if they do then you know there's gonna be some bullshit re-write that brings them back
in fairness the films are being relatively faithful to this
this is not to say DC is any better at that, they've just made less films and i've probably read less comics
i was losing it with marvel's no deaths in thor 2...i give guardians a pass 'cause it's really something new but if they make another without killing one of the team (given the nature of TGOTG) then it'll be s****

That is not true, off the top of my head, the girl that played Octopussy in the Bond film also played another, unrelated, Bond girl in The Man with a Golden Gun. Sure there might be other examples out there. And that's not even getting to people like Mike Myers playing a gazillion different characters throughout the Austin Powers series.
This is an intriguing idea though, if Stone can pull it off. It can be easily constructed as Peter being attracted to Mary Jane because it reminds him of Gwen, and all the f***ed up relationship that would follow.
