This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]496717[/split]
Ya don't get to pick and choose.
I'll be honest, I can do without J. Jonah Jameson. Wanna talk about a character that hasn't changed in years, look no further than JJJ.
Who is that?I'll go you one better, XB
I know, I was asking if he was talking about the cartoon because I know it isn't really a favorable adaptation of cartoon to the massesMight be worth mentioning that Ultimate Spider-Man started out as an alternate version of Peter Parker. Miles, the character many reference as Ultimate Spider-Man now, didn't actually come about until about 3 or so years ago.
Who is that?
i don't know who that isArchie!
i don't know who that is
Comic readership has dwindled a lot over the last few years, and as far as I know, there's not been a cartoon or TV show featuring Archie characters in a good while, so a lot of younger people don't know much about Archie nowadays. It's a shame, too. I don't read much Archie now, but I've enjoyed it, and all the various Archie offshoots like Sabrina and Josie and the Pussycats.
Archie has been doing a lot of off the wall **** recently, too, so it's a bit of shame it's going unnoticed. The Archie Zombie comic from a year or two, and now Archie vs The Predator.
I'd love to see JJJ in the MCU. It'd be fun to watch him rant and rave about all the various heroes and villains, he'd especially be in his element during Civil War. I also fully support the idea of bringing back J.K Simmons. For my money, that was the best casting in any film adaptation ever.
That's true. Even though I've never read much Archie myself, I've always felt it was just one of those things everyone knows about- like Garfield or, I don't know, The Wizard of Oz. But you're right, I can appreciate not knowing about Archie unless you're either deep into comics or part of an older generation.
Out of curiosity XB, Tron and anyone else who would care to answer, how old are you guys? I just turned 31 a couple days back.
I've heard of archie, i'm just not too too familiar with him. that sounds like a pretty dope crossover comic though. as far as literature goes, the only set of things i've ever read & became a hardcore fan of was harry potter. spiderman & goku are my favorite superheroes, but i never really read their source materials. i grew up on the 90s spiderman cartoon and dbz.For real? I grew up in New Zealand and even I've heard of Archie! (I'm not taking a crack at you, I'm just surprised) Archie Comics is a long running series and like, a staple of American comics. It's been around since the late 30s and follows the titular character, Archie, and his various friends in the town of Riverdale.
It's well known for it's wholesome, family friendly stories and content, which is why Archie Meets The Punisher was such a standout crossover. Frank Castle is after some criminal or some such who happens to look almost identical to Archie, the criminal subsequently runs to Riverdale to hide and hijinks ensue.
happy belated birthday to you. i turned 24 in january.That's true. Even though I've never read much Archie myself, I've always felt it was just one of those things everyone knows about- like Garfield or, I don't know, The Wizard of Oz. But you're right, I can appreciate not knowing about Archie unless you're either deep into comics or part of an older generation.

I don't care about horror stories, but this one is a funny role.Tim Curry was a great Pennywise, but there is room for improvement in a more faithful adaptation of the novel, same for Kathie Bates' Annie Wilkes.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a good actor.
Here's one. Buffy the Vampire Slayer the movie is better than the TV series.
The movie is good, campy fun. But I find the TV series unwatchable. The bad acting, writing, direction, fight choreography, makeup, effects... It's unbearable. Granted, I've only seen the earlier episodes, but they're garbage. I've heard it gets good later on, but I'm sorry... I'm not going to sit through three or four seasons of crap in hopes that it eventually becomes watchable.
