State Your Opinion on a Character!!!! (Reboot) - Part 5

[BLACKVULCAN]

the Hulk that was around that time didn´t utilize any of his comics vllains either. Heck, even Superman only used Luthor & yet he was totally unlike the version in the comics.....only thing that interested him was beach front property & the end of Superman.

Yeah duke my man! even Hulk didnt have the Leader or the Abomination but what it did was resonate with me of not being able to fit in ( hey being a comic nerd wasnt as cool as it is nowt the loneliness was really the main focal point of Bill Bixby which is why HULK was the Bomb and Spiderman which had none of that was just a BOMB!!
and you know i hear people say Hackman was Campy and comedy in Superman! Luthor said when he wanted to get Superman's attention he was going to release toxic gas pellets in the city! Dude also was going to Kill Millions on both the east and west coast!( the west was strictly a diversion!! so he was just doing that &* just as a secondary thought! that dude was KILLING PEOPLE( or attempted to) that aint CAMPY at all. i dont know where people get that idea! that dude was a serious threat like he is in the comics....now SUPERMAN IV...thats another story!

I LOVE the response he gives Superman!!! "Somewhere in the back of my head" & then he just laughs it off!!! And who can forget: "Otis, take the gentleman´s cape" t:


Gene Hackman played Luthor in a comedic sort of way & at the same time being villainous & I absolutely love it.

Thing is... Hackman's Lex needed to do some humorous stuff as the villain of the piece. While for sure, Reeve has some great sly nods to the audience as both Supes and Clark, he's the earnest part of a very earnest film. The really straight forward humor would have to be handled by the bad guy, and Hackman delivered, while also being in my eyes, more interesting and fun than the Lex of the comics of the time. Let's remember that in modern Lex there is LOTS of humor. His egomania, his disdain for the common folk, his biting wit... That's a holdover from Hackman's Lex. I think that's where the complaints come from. Younger fans that don't have the frame of reference of Silver Age Lex think Hackman's Luthor is some sort of betrayal of the character or some such, when they are really comparing him to Post Crisis iteration of Lex like TAS or modern comic book Lex. The Reeve film(s) are a great adaptation of the Silver Age Superman and need to be viewed as such I believe.

SALLY AVRIL​

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Meh... Oh... She was also a real schnicker-doodle to Peter growing up.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I like it when she saved Spidey in Untold tales, and when she wanted to blackmail Peter about his secret job as a photo journalist then he told the class himself.

 

[KevanG]

SALLY AVRIL​

She looks like a blue version of Snowbird from Alpha Flight.

Beyond that I have no idea who she is.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

She's Rand's girlfriend in Spectacular Spider-Man animated.

I've been pretty guilty of this myself. It crops up again looking at Superman Returns, as that movie carries over the funny Lex from that movie instead of more post-Crisis-style version, which is what I wanted to see in a 2006 movie and still want to see now. Even the Lex of the upcoming BvS won't be that post-crisis version either, instead going with...whatever Jesse Eisenberg is gonna do, I don't know, maybe it'll be good, we'll see.

PEGGY CARTER​

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Is Peggy now Captain Britain or something?

Um... She was Cap's idealized love interest based on Stan Lee's wife I think... Um... That's really all I remember of her from back in the day. She existed in the past as a strange connection Steve had with Sharon. I will say that the MCU Peggy is a really good character and I am looking forward to the second season of the show.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Is Peggy now Captain Britain or something?

That was the first question to come to mind.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

i like Peggy! as Captain Britain i dont know!...but then Captain B never really sat me on fire! but as a kickass take no Bull^&*( main squeeze of Captain A she is COOL!

 

[DawnWarrior]

Jeez, every old-school Marvel love interest is a super-hero now. Peggy's Captain Britain, Pepper has her own armor, [BLACKOUT]Jane[/BLACKOUT] is Thor, Betty is Red She-Hulk. Am I forgetting anyone?

By Betty I thought Brant and not Ross.

ARANA​

 

[Duke]

Meh!

 

[WolfCypher]

God, she was useless. A poorly done character, and the prelude to more heroes getting these modern, hip "non-costumes" (street clothes with hero-ish touches here and there).

I was really rooting for the Kravinoffs to kill her off. But she lived...

 

[KevanG]

I don't think I've read more than one or two things with her in it.

 

[Mike Murdock]

I liked her in Ms. Marvel's tie-in to Civil War. She was basically just the new person who, as soon as she got her powers, got subjected to the Registration Act. Then I seem to recall her getting the crap kicked out of her by someone. Aside from that, I had no idea she was still a reoccuring character.

 

[lost&forgotten]

Umm you guys do realize that this is fanart and that Peggy is not actually Captain Britain in the comics cause she's still dead.

ALISTAIR SMYTHE​

 

[CaptainWagner]

Been away for a while, didn't really have much too say about the characters. Pretty cool villain and one of the best parts of the Superior arc.
