The Naked Fun in The Superhero Cinematic Civil War Thread - Part 61

[Spider-Fan]

All Amy Pascal or whoever at Sony has to do is agree to pay the rest of my student loans, and I would give them the best Scarlet Spider movie, best Kaine movie or the best Stunner movie that their asses would ever get.

They need to call me.

I could easily manage this franchise for Sony. All they gotta do is call me, lol!!!! I have long had a pitch for a Scarlet Spider movie that easily could setup a Kaine spinoff lol!

I have no idea why they were never like "Well, we legally can't do a Spider-Man. But we have this clone who is essentially Spider-Man. So Ben Reilly, you're our "Spider-Man " of this universe. I mean, yeah it doesn't give you Spider-Man here exactly, but at least Bargain Outlet Spider-Man is a better idea than the crap they're doing!

Then I will add in a Spider-Woman movie, maybe Black Cat in a Scarlet Spider sequel and her own spinoff, and then we are moving

We all know who the next great Spidey villain movie is going to be about.

Paul.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I had no idea SB's real name was Ricky Bobby.

I aint gonna lie, Talladega Nights is one of my favorite comedies. I make no apologies

What's to apologize for? It's good. There was a period there where the Will Farrell comedies were rather fun.

 

[Kane52630]

and I still don't

Yeah, that run of Anchorman, Talladega Nights, and Step Brothers was great stuff. I quote Talladega Nights probably everyday, lol

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

My personal Will Ferrell trinity is Old School, Anchorman and.... Superstar. It was funny as hell and still is.



Debate your wrinkles, not these facts.

 

[Kane52630]

We don't talk enough about The Other Guys.

My bro and I do quite often as well.

I dont love The Other Guys as much, but the intro with Sam Jackson and The Rock jumping off the building is one of the funniest scenes ever. That part was done perfect. I also think Michael Keaton's ongoing TLC gag is also fun

 

[Moncton]

Looks like Kraven is on track for a $15 million opening.

I put Other Guys up there
The Whisper fight at the funeral still has me in stitches every time

 

[kguillou]

Sony isnt even trying to market this one. Besides this 8 min preview they just shat out this morning there has been zero effort to make people aware this movie exists.

That said, based on the preview that 15 million will probably come from me. LOL

I wouldn't be shocked if it gets a single digit domestic opening weekend

 

[DarthSkywalker]

We're stuck with the multi-verse Spidey flicks forever.

End of an era today as the DC shows conclude on the CW with the final episode of S&L. They were mostly not great, but did have some highs and the crossovers were well done, and I can't be too critical of anything that brought back reporter Knox from the Burton Batman universe haha.

 

[Nardz937]

Did an annual Christmas rewatch of Batman Returns and I love that just two minutes into this family film we see a mom & dad attempt to murder their infant baby by throwing him into a freezing cold river leading into a sewer

I can cause the Crisis crossover was awful lol! Like, Inhumans level bad. I gave up on the CW shows at a certain point and I came back for Crisis and I was entertained catching up after it cause I was hyped for it, but that was so bad I never did lol. I did start Superman & Lois when it debuted and I was caught up for about a season and a half, but then the wife and I fell behind and I never caught up. I will catch the rest of THAT one at some point. The rest? Nope. Too many episodes I haven't watched and I just don't think they're worth that level of investment

Yeah, if you're ever going back for anything it should be S&L. Good throughout, with the final season being some peak Superman.

I also really loved Stargirl. Felt different from the others, a more genuine throwback superhero show.

 

[Sithborg]

I ended up bailing on Flash a season before the end. It just got bad. Not Gustin or Patton's fault, but dear god was the writing getting bad.

Still, I will always have this greatness.

The only way to watch this scene.

Stargirl I would also watch. I saw season 1. But I don't count that cause that was made for the DC service. I also liked the Swamp Thing series.

The Arrowverse served as an important gateway in retrospect. It proved that superheroes CAN work on tv with a tv budget. Prior to that, Hollywood was so gun-shy about showing people in costumes suiting up and fighting crime on tv which is why we had Smalville and Heroes and other shows that skirted around costumes and capes.

My fondest memory was the first season of The Flash. It was SUCH a breath of fresh air and such a contrast to Arrow. It was an unabashed superhero show that was proud to be a superhero show and every week seemed like an event. I remember being HYPPED for the ARROW VS FLASH crossover.

To be fair to Smallville, they did do that in later seasons. Only Clark was stuck without a costume.
