Iron Man 2 Jackson Signs NINE Picture deal to play Fury

[Kirk 1701]

I wonder how much screen time Fury will have in this film?

Two minutes.

This board is a big fat joke. You can not have a free independent thought without someone calling me a racist or a bigot.

I don't see anyone else here being called racist or a bigot, despite all the free independant thoughts being made by them.

I agree with your statement to a degree. First, I'm hoping for Hollywood to put that nail in all Marvel movies that do not respect or honor the source material. If you go by Nick Fury's biography, do you honestly believe Ultimate Nick Fury would have moved up the chain of command in the U.S. military, in the 1940's? Remember there were segregated units of the military in World War II, so I can not see a black man having any success advancing in the military of the 1940's. He would have been an outcast in the CIA and would have never survived. Remember the Civil Rights Movement did not come bout until the 1960's and the CIA was form in 1947. I was collecting comics when the Ultimate line came out and to this day I still hate that line of comics. This may sound childless, I control what my kids read and I won't allow any Ultimate comics in my house. If we can keep all kids below the age of 18 yrs out of the theaters, this movie has no chance of success. You and the rest of the people on this board are asking everyone who collected comic books in the 1970's and 1980's to conform, and accept Sam Jackson as Nick Fury. Not gone to happen! I'm asking everyone who grew up in the 1970's and 1980's to ban this movie and for Hollywood to get their act cleaned up.

Well, Ultimate Avengers seems to be pretty true to the source material so far, going off the Hulk and Iron Man movies. Both of those moveis had minimal influence from the Ultimate Verse, besides Fury, and let's face it, Nick Fury has never been a huge character at Marvel.

And you're confusing your universes. 616 Nick Fury was alive in the 1940's, Ultimate Nick Fury wasn't. The Ultimate-verse is set in present time (or the near future), so Ultimate Nick Fury wouldn't be faced with the bigotry that a black man in 1940's would in terms of working his way up in the CIA/FBI/Shield.

What exactly bothered you so much about the Ultimate comics? I've found them quite entertaining, and I've liked Ultimate Spider-man more than 616 Spider-man for a while.
And your line of thinking is a bit irrational. Change isn't always bad. If everyone refused to see new takes on characters then we would have people who grew up on the 1960's Batman show refusing to see TDK because it's different from what they watched.

It's not conforming to like Ultimate Nick Fury, some people just like the character more. I've read 616 and Ultimate, and I prefer Ultimate Nick Fury because I like the way he's written more.

This board is a big fat joke. You can not have a free independent thought without someone calling me a racist or a bigot.

Technically, calling you names would fall under their rights of free speech.

Ultimate Nick Fury was alive during the 40's, that was part of the "Ultimate Origins" mini series where we see he was experimented on.

But I enjoy Samuel Lee Jackson as Nick Fury because well it's a nice nod to the Ultimates series who were great (well...at least the first two ) and Samuel Lee Jackson is a good actor (and I like that "Shaft badassness" he brings to his characters too hehe

But I wouldn't have minded if it was 616 Fury who showed up

Really? Because in the Weapon X storyline in Ultimate X-men, Fury was still just a grunt-man solider who got cut up by Logan when he went nuts on his carriers, though Logan ended up sparing fury and carrying him to safety. In the Ultimate time-line that would have been in the 70's or 80's, so I had always assumed he was born in the 50's or 60's.

That's strange though, that means Fury's as old as Cap, which is odd, because some of his comments to Cap always made me assume that he was younger.

I contacted the Federal Trade Commission and issue a complaint against this website. The complaint states thats my civil rights and freedom of speech have been violated. It probably won't do any good, but I did file the complaint.

Ultimate Fury fought in WW2.

Does your complaint have two mistakes for every three lines too? Your freedom of speech hasn't been violated. Speak all you want. You're even getting to post here! A Privilege, not a Right! What civil right has been violated?

 

[kedrell]

There are no civil rights on the internet, especially on a privately owned site. Deal with it, Kirk.

Nice job posting something you have already posted. I feel sorry for your kids not having the freedom to read whatever comics they want to.

He just turned this whole thread into the most recent arc of Civil War...which, ironically, he probably hates with a veageance.

Going off the whole discussion a little earlier,

Does Fury remember being in WWII? I haven't read the ultimate origins storyline, so I didn't know he was that old. I'm assuming whatever they did to him allowed him to age slower, since he only looks like a man in his 40's. It's surprising to me, because his dialogue with Cap never indicated he was from the same generation as he was. I find it kind of odd he didn't tell Cap that.

It's surprising to me, because his dialogue with Cap never indicated he was from the same generation as he was. I find it kind of odd he didn't tell Cap that.

Fury was originally presented as being a young hip spy who was educated in India. He didn't tell a lot of things to Cap. In particular, one of the Ultimate Annuals revealed the government had been experimenting with more supersoldiers, and it was heavily implied there was a morgue full of marines who had rejected the super solder serum.

Ultimate Origins revealed that Ultimate Fury is a combination of the classic Nick Fury with the retro character Isaiah Bradley, aka, Weapon Zero, the prototype Captain America.

Fury was a war criminal who got arrested in WII for stealing, along with James Howlett and Wilson Fisk Sr. This Fisk likely being the grandpa of the modern Kingpin.

Howlett was shipped off to Canada where he was guineapigged into being the first mutant via genetic experimentation. Magneto who is canadian and not a european jew in the ultimate universe would later free him. He was the son of some of the scientists working on Wolverine as I recall.

Fury was seen as expendable because he was black but when given the super soldier serum he escaped. He traveled the world and the serum kept him young much like how 616 Fury has the infinity formula.

Later Fury would rejoin the army for Desert Storm and Wolverine cut out one of his eyes. Fury's powers kept his intestines from spilling out but not regrow the eyeball.

So there ya go.

I suspect the movie universe will probably go with Fury's original ultimate interpretation, with any nods being to the classic 616 interpretation.

 

[scatterax]

i think (hope) it'll be like the original nick furry, but being black instead of white would be the only/main difference.
