Rate and Discuss the Transformation!

[crystal_flame6]

I think of it this way, the first transformation JB is probably not going to know what is happening, it would be cool to have the idea that Dr. Dude said, but I have a feeling the first transformation is going to be fast and we are not going to see alot of it. As the movie progresses, JB will learn to control his transformations and have them at will, unless there is a crime happening close by and GR decieds to bring JB's attention to it by changing and head that way. We are probably going to get a slow transformation once (at least I hope so. I keep pictureing JB's eyes turnig to flames, followed by the rest of his transformation when he gets really mad.) and the rest are either not going to be shown (because the movie has not explained the JB is GR yet) or very fast in a ball of flames. It would be kind of cool if the bike literally melts into the hellcycle (since the engine looks melted) right after GR appears. The first warning would be that you hear the bike rev and the sound turns into the hellcyles' roar.

I'm not so concerned with the bike actually. What I want to see melt is Nic cages face as the hellfire burns through.

 

[crystal_flame6]

I bet that they have Nic throw his hands up and hide his face so you can't see it. After all it is not going to be an R rated movie.

 

[crystal_flame6]

But it would be a good adition to the movie. Good show of the pain JB goes threw in his transformation.

You know, this kind of trick should really works on this movie...if done properly , to not show the entire transformation could be even more terrific that by showing it.

 

[FlameHead]

I must see the transformation. I want (need) to see the flesh melting. I've seen it so many times on the pages of so many comics... now I need to see it in motion (outside of my mind).

 

[crystal_flame6]

MSJ, hopefully, will not disappoint any of us. I am hoping to see at least one slow transformation and a fast one when Johnny is in trouble.

 

[FlameHead]

I wouldn't mind at all but one were quick transformation. I'm just hoping the PG-13 won't prevent a slow graphic one...

 

[crystal_flame6]

It will probably not show much (if any) of the flesh burning and melting. Just the flames and the change in structure from JB to GR.

 

[FlameHead]

That's what saddens me. I need to see flesh melting... as demented as that sounds.

 

[crystal_flame6]

We might get to see his hands and arms melting. I want to see it in the film, just for the sake of being able to see it for the first time.

 

[FlameHead]

There's never been a time on film that flesh melted? hmm...

I seem to picture something... hmm... give me a few.

 

[crystal_flame6]

I meant that I have not seen it in any comics (since I don't have any of them and can't find any to buy), and the GR movie would be a perfect first.

 

[FlameHead]

Ahhh, I get'cha. It's an image that's ever present in the comics... which, of course, is why I'd like to see it on film.

 

[crystal_flame6]

Maybe if you are nice enough you could post one of the panels of it on here so I could see it for the first time.

 

[FlameHead]

Absolutly. I posted a couple of them a while back in the Official GR thread. MM created a page on the IGR website (http://www.digitalentropy.net/Internapse/page/gr/GRPanelsFlameHead3.html) where all those pics that I (and others) have posted there.

Here they are again... I'll try and get some more in the future.

 

[crystal_flame6]

Thanks, I'll be looking toward those other pics. So that is what happens to all of his body and his clothes just change? Judging by those pictures, GR cares for the innocents that are still alive when he is threw with their tormentors and possible for Dan's safety? Correct me if I'm wrong.

The first time it happens, I don't want it to happen in a quick flash of flame. I want to see EVERYTHING!!

I love the transformation sequence in An American Werewolf in London, not just because of the make-up, but David Naughton's performance. The pain and the horror of what's happening to him really comes across. Johnny would probably feel the same when he sees himself combusting and his flesh sizzling and melting.
If it had that intensity, it would be awesome.

 

[not_a_victim]

I think the first time should be very dramatic. I would love to see the flesh burn, then GR actually reach up and slough off the remaining flesh from his face, and throw it to the ground.
I hope they use similar tech that is being used in the FF movie for the Human Torch. His transformation looks so real, its incredible.
PS, I have a question...
Is GR's whole body a skeleton, or just his head? His head seems to be the only thing burning, so theoretically, he could have flesh below the neck, right?

nope...he is a walking flaming skeleton. all flesh is lost when he changes.
i like that idea though of throwing his final pieces of burning skin off....although i dont know if that could make it by a PG13. would be cool to see in a unrated dvd edition

 

[not_a_victim]

Movies have been pushing the limits of PG-13 movies lately. Have you seen some of the pictures of Anakin Skywalker after he gets burned in EPIII? brutal stuff, and it is getting a PG-13.

 

[FlameHead]

I haven't seen a whole lot of the Star Wars stuff. I'm trying to go into the movie clean.

That's exactly what I'm looking for in at least one of the transformations. The rest can be shown in real time for all I care. Just show the struggle and pain at least one time, ya know?

What do you mean; like pieces of melting flesh just falling from his bones to the ground, staying alight there, burning away? That would be a little graphic perhaps... but so freakin' awesome.

yeah....but he takes the remaining pieces that are still on his skull and throws them on the ground violently. would give the impression hes ticked off about being locked inside Blaze and that he resents having to share a body w/ a human.....almost like hes saying "it about time you let me out dammit!!!" ...heh

 

[FlameHead]

Oh yeah... now that's what I'm talkin' about! That would make for such an awesome visual... one that says so very much. Great idea!

 

[BIGGUN]

yup...i agree. very good idea from not_a_victim
