The Superhero Cinematic Civil War of Tomorrow Thread - Part 62

[Lily Adler]

I do hold the film and director's issues against the cast. (Berto does need to be recast)

Why is a blonde Psylocke fighting Slender Man?

The stupid choice of making Magik racist, whitewashing Berto/Cecilia and Fox continuity issues aside, I like New Mutants waaaay more than the last of the Foxverse’s output.

It was a bad attempt to recreate a scene from the comics. Which given the director's comments on the Berto casting, becomes clear why he included it.

What are your favorite non-main X teams and your favorite books?

 

[AndrewGilkison]

New Mutants was more or less "I want to remake Nightmare On Elm Street 3 The Dream Warriors so I will use X-Men related characters because comic book movies are really hot right now"

 

[Sithborg]

What are your favorite non-main X teams and your favorite books?

1. Uncanny X-force by Rick Reminder. Its the book where I fell in love with Betsy. Team changes a bit, but the core is Logan, Betsy, Deadpool, and Fantomex. And while I fully support Betsy/Rachel, I do miss Betsy/Warren a bit.

2. Uncanny Avengers by Rick Reminder. I do love this fusion team. Havok, Cap, Rogue, Thor, Logan, and Scarlet Witch was fun, with Wonder Man, Sunfire, and Wasp joining. Sad Axis ****ed up everything with Reminder. Somewhat want to check out Duggan's run.

I love the New Mutants and Gen X as their own teams. It was nice seeing Synch get big spotlight post Hickman in the main book. Still love Helllions, even if he did go on to **** the bed with Spider Man and Paul. Spurrier's Nightcrawler trilogy is great, even if only 2 of the books features a team, with a lot of very minor characters. Fallen Amgels got me to love Kwannon, and was slowly building a team, even if Kwannon was the focus. I did love Kwannon and Laura in that book, and I grew okay with young Cable over the beginning of Krakoa. Sadly, didn't get much of Bling or Husk.

Krakoa era has shown to me that I love the weird ****ing teams. Kind of why the new era kinda sucks a bit.

I only read the X-Force by Kyle/Yost (read just 2 volumes of TPB)
The timeline was after Messiah Complex event where Scott assembled a new X-Force team led by Wolverine, Archangel, Psylocke, Deadpool, and Warpath (or Doctor Nemesis?) I forgot, I've read it quite a long time ago.

 

[Sithborg]

That sounds right, though I don't think Nemesis really got used till the Utopia era.

 

[Detective Conan]

This sounds nice and all, but as a Green Lantern fan I’m a little envious that Supergirl is getting space adventure film while Green Lantern is getting a grounded tv show set on earth. I dunno man, it almost feels like it should be the other way around, imo.

Aren't their actors Brazilian?

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Yes but just like live action Storm, they are victims of good old fashioned Hollywood colorism. Berto is a darkskinned Afro Brazilian, and Dr Reyes is a whole Puerto Rican woman with locs who is clearly Afro Caribbean.

Oh you should most definitely read Uncanny X-Force then

One of my favorite X-book runs of all time, the way Remender used continuity as a positive thing, and not something to be weighed down by, was fantastic. Also the best Apocalypse related story ever. And the best Deadpool ever.

 

[Lily Adler]

Cool that New Mutants did an homage to Buffy with the Smiling Men.

Nah, this story is the movie-worthy one. I love Green Lantern stories too, but GL’s are cops, their stories mostly episodic and/or long form, perfect for (big budget) TV. I can’t think of a single GL story I’ve thought would work well as a 2-hour movie (several that would be amazing as mini-series, however). Meanwhile as soon as I read Woman of Tomorrow I was like “this NEEDS to be a movie.” The very correct choice was made imo.

They're releasing Christmas music already.

Super excited about this. I actually thought all 3 OG seasons of JJ were solid so I’d love to see more solo adventures with her.

So…over or under guys? Finn Jones is back as Iron Fist. Colter is pretty much a given with all these con appearances hes been doing with Cox and Ritter lately but Finn…which way do you guys think Marvel will go with the character?

I’ve always thought Green Lantern: Earth One laid a great blueprint for a movie when I first read it. That was always so cinematic to me.

Either way, pretty stoked for both projects and wish the best for both but I’ve always seen GL as a more spaced based property than Supergirl, though, I haven’t read Supergirl Woman Of Tommorow.

Sinestro Corps War and Blackest Night need to be made into movies, imo

So just got back home from NY on Monday but needed a few days to recover lol.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Did NY Comic Con feel more newsworthy than San-Diego Comic Con this year or is it just me?

At least in the case of Marvel, definitely.

I am wondering if SDCC is ultimately going to go the way of E3

 

[Babillygunn]

I don’t know. I think Sinestro Corps War is way too involved and requires a ton of backstory. There’s a lot of characters involved there.
