LOL Is there anything sillier than a typo in a thread title...

No, your creativity is way to small to have been able to adapt it. Much like Singer's.

Agreed.

How can people who claim to be fans of such characters have no faith at all, in the possibility of a character like, wolverine's yellow costume. The reasons I've seeen are ridiculous. For once I'd like people to actually understand the world that these films are set i, regardless of real life geographical locations.
I know that had a costume with a bld and daring, innovative style had been created and was patterened with a goldish-yellow colour it would have worked.

For the millions of people around the world who want these comic bok characters to come to life, they sure do lack the imagination and creativity to understand and appreciate some of the core concepts of the source material.

...what ever Dacman, you are just like all those other retrads that think everything in the comics would translate well to the big screen.

Well IMO most of it would translate, but there are things that just wouldnt translate, no matter what spin is put on them, comics and film are a different medium, therefore it makes it impossible to translate certain things.

i agree with the point you were making earlier, Wolverine is a badass character, how many badasses wear bright yellow costumes?

Exactly Sava. It would look stupid.

Wolverine for one.
I guess it goes along with the hulk poodle, was that comical? I know people were expecting it to be prior to the films release. I didn't find it funny at all.
As for the costume, a talented artist, and a serious tone will counter any preconceived 'Bright yellow costumes' reactions. Who said bright yellow? Yellow is a colour right? A designer can pick whichever shade of yellow best fits the outfit, that's what they do. His yellow and brown outfit would look quite cool.
DACMAN's picture post of the cosplay/crappy tv series costumes vs final movie should give an example of what's possible.

Bright colurs are a must in comic books, lets face it. when it comes to comic books, we will believe anything. Whuile we are at it, why not just go and have Hulk and Xmen fight in space, it happenes in the comics right5, lets also have Hulk destroy a comet half the size of Earth, that s**t happenes in the comics. Even if they did manage to make Wolve's costume with the same colurs work, they would have changed it ALOT. Spidey's costume in the comics is great, thats why its so easy to transform to the big screen. There are saome characters easier to transform to the big screen thatn others, Spidey is easy and Wolverine isnt so.

Fight in space? Why? When did fighting in space become important parts of a characters quintessence? And to back up your position you make a asinine exaggeration? Why does all things comic have to all or nothing? Going to extremes to make a point about something that has no extremes, and is not being talked about as an extreme really is pointlessly defensive. Costumes can work, many films have succeeded doing so.
Faithful adaptions have also worked. Why this is suddenly not true for X-men, I have no idea.

A-ha! You admit it is possible.
We have victory DACMAN!

thats what Dacman seems to think, if everything work in the comics, so it should work in the big screen too. Costumes can work and do, mostly cause they are realistic or have dark colours. Other than Superman, i cant think of anyone in the comicbooks films weve had so far wearing bright colours or Yellow and Blue.

if they had done it like in the comics, more people would have rolled their eyes than go "f**k yeah...thats the realy Wolverine!".

Erm, weren't you replying to me? Or are you accusing me of being DACMAN as well now?
I didn't say all things comic have to be translated, alot just can't work. A comic series has endless time to tell stories. A movie doesn't. At best a series will hit 4-5 films.
As for rolling their eyes, how many did that to Spider-man/Superman? Whether it's accepted or not is down to execution.

nah, part of my other post was aimed at Dacman. IMO Super and Spidey are the easiest of the comicbook characters to translate in the big screen.

That's why I don't like either. Spider-man especially. A character that's been so heavy worked into the every man, with all sorts of normal human life problems. Ugh, feels so fake.

guess i disagree then, its not like i love the character or anything but he is the perfect hero for the genral public IMO. I just think they had more reason to change the costumes than not to.

 

[Spike_x1]

Superman has five movies. FIVE! We HULK fans have one. In his five movie run, Supes has done some strong stuff. Lifting an island sized mass in the new movie is easily the strongest thing he's done out of them all. HULK's strongest feat has been throwing a tank. What would you like to see the HULK do to prove that he's "THE STRONGEST ONE THERE IS!"

Didn't Superman push the moon?

The Hulk and the Abomination need to hit each other so hard that a shockwave levels the entire area. Hopefully, the area would be like an abandoned desert town, like Gamma Base, but if it's a city, that works too.

No, I never said EVERYTHING in comics would translate well to the screen. The alien costume in Spider-Man could never be done well in the movie. But as far as visuals, I think if it works in the comics, and it can be twicted for the movie. Personally, I think Wolverine's old yellow and black costume was lame. They'd have to update it much like they did in "Enemy of the State" story line, or the New X-Men comic. But to just go "nope, can't be done" seems lazy.

But as far as story lines go, yes, some things must be changed.

 

[DACMAN]

Back on topic.



What can we have HULK do that will place him on top as the strongest one there is? After Superman Returns it's hard to think of something after the island throwing scene that would out do it. Other than lifting a mountain Secret Wars style (to throw at Emil or something).

 

[Sava]

the island throwing thing is SR is one of the most over the top things i've ever seen, i absolutely hate that scene. i hope to god they dont try that with Hulk.

 

[mikeym5]

I wonder how the Hulk could beat out not just the SR island scene, but this scene from X3:

Spoiler

Magneto using his powers to move the Golden Gate bridge.

 

[Weadazoid]

whoops! i thought this was about festivus.

Nah that would be my thread intitled

The List of Grievances.

A any rate I think the Hulk has done more then just throw a tank.

He came up through asphalt and then slammed the grond so hard he had parked cars moving. I think that takes more overall power


I think you may be going to big with the mountain... But hey it would be nice to see him save some people from a falling building by catching the building.


That is far more probable then seeing him lift a mountain up

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^ I dont think anything the Hulk could plausably do would beat Superman lifting New Krypton, that island was the size of a city for crying out loud (God i love that scene in SR). Unless they go into completely OTT territory, which i dont want them to do, they are not gonna beat it.

 

[DACMAN]

That was easily my favorite scene in the entire movie. I wanna see over the top, HULK IS STRONGEST ONE THERE IS, stuff.

I wanna see this...

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I just dont think they could plausibly do anything like the mountain hold in the movies without getting people rolling their eyes at the sheer unrealism of it.
