Silver Surfer movie Anyone?

[The_Mystery]

I would love to see a Silver Surfer movie with him versus Galactus or Thanos.

I just think he woulda made alot better trilogy then being lumped into the FF movies. Marvel needs to stop ruining charcters.

How on earth are Marvel ruining characters by staying true to them? The Silver Surfer was introduced in Fantastic Four 48. If you are at all familiar with his introduction, the teaser looks like it was almost taken directly from that issue.

Far from being negative about the Surfer appearing in the Fantastic Four franchise, you should be comforted by the fact that they are being true to the character by doing so.

Believe me, if the public go nuts for him, regardless of whether the movie itself lives up to our (heightened) expectations, there will always be the possibility of a movie (or series of movies) featuring him.

My advice: support the FF:RotSS movie, make loud geeky noises about how cool the Surfer is and buy the merchandise, twice... and the studios will bend over backwards to make a Surfer movie.

How is Marvel ruining Charecters? Lets see....Elektra,fantastic four (oh I'm sorry fantastic 4) the theatrical version of daredevil over the directors cut,blade 3,x-men 3...
Basically there are far far less GOOD Marvel movies. All they care about is the quick buck thus ruining charecters instead of setting up numorius franchises and making more money than they do already.

And I dont think that just cuz his first apperance was in a FF comic makes it somehow "cool" or acceptable to put him in the movie. I honestly don't see the "fans" logic on this one. Wolverine first appered in the hulk comic..does that mean that he should be in a hulk movie first then spun into x-men? Hell no and it shouldn't be this way for the silver surfer.

I think it would be alot better to use him in his own trilogy..like I said here is a rundown of what I thought it could be like....

Movie one: The origin. You have all the origin stuff and then the coming to earth. You don't need the F.F. in it at all just have him meet a blind girl and go fight Galactus. You keep all the Silver Surfer bits from that story. And of course he would be trapped on earth.

Movie two: Silver Surfer on earth. This takes its lead from the Stan Lee /Beuscema run of books where he is on earth and trying to help people yet is scorned and rejected so the question becomes "why did I help them?" in the end he frees himself from his captivity on earth.

Movie 3: Silver Surfer in space looking for Galactus who in fact is dying. Silver Surfer wants his humanity back and we get that amazing issue where he is drowned in the blood of the people he has helped kill.

Thats as far as I got on the third one...there needs to be another conflict in the thrid but couldnt think of anything other than the "I am dying" bit. I dunno. But this trilogy would give us the best bits of Silver Surfer storys."

Okay, firstly, try to bear in mind we are only talking about THIS movie and not Elektra Etc which, I admit, are complete pump.
Secondly, If you're going to write all the Surfer franchise yourself then perhaps you should learn to spell.
Finally, SS is as much a part of the FF legaend as Dr Doom and The Mole-man.

If you don't know or respect that you shouldn't be on this forum.

 

[K.B.]

Wow your an idiot (just like everyone else who thinks SS needs to be in a FF flick "cuz he first appeared in the comic")
So by your logic, the punisher should have appeared in a spider-man movie before getting his own. Wolverine in a hulk film before his own or x-men.
The logic that a character should make his first appearance in a movie just because he did in the comic is simply ******ed.
Pretty much all of the marvel universe is intertwined with alot of characters appering in other comics. Daredevils pals with everyone from spider-man to iron fist but do we need to see that on screen? hell no.
Everyone and there brother's gone to dr.strange or had him nose around in thery're buisness but do we need to see him apperearing all of a sudden in a fantastic four movie? no.

 

[Art_of_Crime]

I wpuld rather not see a ss movie, or any cosmic character. Mainly because they are way to powerfull. it gets boring when a character can do anything.

First, it's "You're an idiot", idiot.

And no - by my logic, which you are still not understanding, is that the use of the Silver Surfer in this franchise makes sense because of the history of the comic - it's being true to the characters. This doesn't mean that it should apply to every Marvel character, just that when characters are introduced in a franchise, that it is a good thing when there is a legitimate historical reason for doing so... Savvy?

 

[Noir]

Who uses Savvy on a message board? Are you ****ing Jack Sparrow?

 

[Hypestyle]

The Surfer should get involved in the Kree-Skrull war..

that'd have my money.

 

[Spider-Fan]

The cosmic world is one of Marvel's finest areas. Many of Marvel's best stories have been cosmic based (imo).

I can't wait for the Surfer movie. I loved him in FF2 (easily best part of the movie). Now, give me the real Galactus, a well written script, a good director, and the suits to shut up, and this movie will be great!

 

[ANTOINE X]

I have been of the opinion in comics as I will be in a film idea. SS is a great supporting character and makes for an interesting and grand scale story element but as a stand alone character I find him, like Thor to be quite boring.

I agree with you on silver surfer but not Thor. We can do a very good thor movie. If they do an epic movie like 300, Thor movie would rock!

 

[Spider-Fan]

I agree with you on silver surfer

I couldn't disagree more. The Surfer has had great runs over the years. Rebirth of Thanos anyone? His first solo series by Stan Lee was great. He has a lot of potential.

Even just look at the cartoon. That was a great cartoon, and my favorite Marvel animated show. It is just too bad FOX and Marvel had that dispute, otherwise we would have had more than 1 season of it.

 

[Red Mask]

I always fealt thatd he would be alot stronger as a solo movie and made it into a trilogy, in fact I brought my ideas on over to the hype boards heres what I had said....



"
So Silver Surfer and Galactus get the screw jobby getting lumped in with this garbage instead of getting theyre own franchise which is a shame. It would be so easy to do a Silver Surfer trilogy...heres what my idea was.....

Movie one: The origin. You have all the origin stuff and then the coming to earth. You don't need the F.F. i nit at all just have him meet a blind girl and go fight Galactus. You keep all the Silver Surfer bits from that story. And of course he would be trapped on earth.

Movie two: Silver Surfer on earth. This takes its lead from the Stan Lee /Beuscema run of books where he is on earth and trying to help people yet is scorned and rejected so the question becomes "why did I help them?" in the end he frees himself from his captivity on earth.

I was then trashed by all the "fans" of the fantastic four who love tim story and his crappy movies.

I think a spin-off would be better. The Surfer awakes in space and flies back to Zenn-La. Along the way we get the origin of his creation and the intro of Galactus.

We then zip to the present and to Norrin's surprise Galactus reappears alive and angry. Norrin continues to rebel and declares his hatred for what he's done. But Galactus rebukes him but allows him to return home for the moment. When he does approach his home system he finds himself attacked by various alien races connected to the planets he lead Galactus to. When he finally reaches Zenn-La he sees it's been laid to waste by the many aliens. In despair he destroys all the ships but one, letting it flee.

Galactus arrives, and for deep reasons restores the Surfer's planet and its lifeforms. But he erects an energy barrier blocking him from landing there. He condemns the Surfer to traverse through space, but can never go home, unless he resumes his service to Galactus. Norrin still rejects him, and leaves with only the small comfort that his home is safe again. He then dedicates himself to redeeming his sins as a herald.

There s 3 problems is an alien , is cold (no expression) and there s so many character that are more interesting than SS. Comics book and silver screen don t always work to together. Hell boy is an alien but he talks a lot ,smile laugh like a human. So for all these reasons I can only see SS as a secondary actor.

 

[chiefchirpa]

And, I bet the kryptonite would be Black Panther...

Black Panther: Hello Darling. Miss me?
Silver Surfer: No!!! Armlock!!! (Run Away)

If SS film is made in the 80's/90's it's okay. Not now. He's a second stringer at best.

Him being an alien is meaningless. Ever hear of Superman?

As for him being cold, so? Cold characters have been interesting. You just present moral conflicts and deep issues like his comics do, and the audience will love it.

And chiefchirpa, your post has nothing to do with anything. It was rather pointless, stupid, and contributes nothing. If you want to debate this correctly, don't A-ignore the rest of the character's history, or B- be intelligent about it. That post was stupid.

Sorry, if I touch your inner feelings old timer, but I bet you haven't read recent comics aren't you?

No, cause they suck.

Give me Essentials and Starlin back issues of the Surfer ANY day over the trash we are subjected to by JQ, whom I wish the harshest death and deepest circles of hell upon!

Also, I wouldn't call 20 an old-timer.

People loved the Surfer in this movie. If he was such a "secondary" character, he wouldn't:

A- Be getting a spin-off in the first place

or

B- Been the main focus of the marketing campaign.

Long live the Surfer! Hope we get the full Galactus and a wonderful script by JMS!

Does anyone else want to see Frankie Raye come back for the Surfer movie?

 

[Spider-Fan]

Does anyone else want to see Frankie Raye come back for the Surfer movie?

Not really. There is no point. She was basically what Gwen Stacy was in SM3. Cool name to throw at us, but not meant to mean anything down the line. If there is a herald I want to see in a Surfer movie, Terrax.

I didn't mean as the herald, at least not yet, just as Nova.
The two meet in space, because her powers have been activated.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Not in the first movie, maybe somewhere down the line. The first movie, the flashbacks of him on Zenn-La will provide us with a love interest. She isn't really needed.

 

[Red Mask]

No. If she's going to break Johnny's heart it's best done in an FF film.

Yeah but superman look far more human than SS!
