The Superhero Cinematic Civil War

[Sithborg]

You just reminded me, I also need to add Dr. Strange (1978) to my list as well. I didn't include it because, according to Wiki, that was a television movie...

In fact, I haven't seen any of the Marvel live-action TV series either. Not The Amazing Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, Legion, Runaways, Gifted, Agents of Shield, Inhumans, Agent Carter, Cloak & Dagger, Helstrom, or Mutant X. And I just found out too there was a short-lived, live action Blade series as well on Spike TV years ago

And on the DC side, I still need to tackle the entire Arrowverse, the 70's Wonder Woman show, and all the various Superman shows as well. And don't even get me started on the animated stuff, though recently I did watch Spectacular Spider-Man, My Adventures With Superman, Gotham Knights, Gotham, and the Spider-Woman cartoon (1979)...

Sometimes I feel like I deserve to have my geek card revoked

Mutant X is a weird one. Its not related to the comics. And in fact, Marvel made it and got sued by Fox because it was "too close to the X-men". Fun, but it is no Alphas.

I'm impressed that you already saw the Nick Fury movie.

Nope never saw that one either. In fact, I didn't even know a Nick Fury movie existed until this very moment

EDIT: First I'm hearing of Alphas too. The premise sounds intriguing - too bad it's not streaming anywhere here in Canada

How could you not hear about Hoff as Nick Fury.

Yeah, a lot of Syfy's stuff is lost in streaming limbo. But Alphas was goddamn amazing.

 

[Pennywise]

I’ll guess H.E.R.B.I.E or Mole Man.

Forget Spidey Vs TMNT

What about Venom Vs Transformers: The battle for Earth

They have some really old Batman and Superman stuff from the 40's and 50's on Tubi if you want to upgrade to geek connoisseur.

I’m impressed.

He was also in Always Sunny.

Looking at the pictures I genuinely thought that was the Beard Hunter from Doom Patrol, but I guess I just found another set of suspiciously similar looking actors.

Beard Hunter is such a disturbing character.

What kind of silly marketing is this lol he hired him.

I think they're trying to say that if he was so much against it he must have had a great idea to bring him back, but all it says to me is he crapped on his previous comments for a few quick bucks.

X2 had some rough moments wig-wise too
I still remember a shot from early in the movie when Logan's looking at the wolf near Alkali base, and his hair is like 3 feet tall

That's because reshoots for X2 occurred while he was doing Val Helsing, and they weren't allowed to do anything about his hair besides have him wear a wig.

Speaking of X2, did Rogue do anything in this film? Scott and Charles get brainwashed, Pyro and Bobby had a dick measuring contest, Storm and Nightcrawler stopped Jason, Jean goes Phoenix to save everyone, Magneto and Mystique trap Stryker.

Bro is such a legend.

Bro is such a legend.

Which Ken was he?

 

[flickchick85]

I feel like I get the point he was trying to make with that statement, but it does not have the intended effect lol.

 

[Kane52630]

Which Ken was he?

The one in the back.

Punisher War Zone was such a weird one. It starts out like an ultraviolent, low-rent action movie, and Ray Stevenson is pretty good as Frank. But shortly after Jigsaw’s disfigurement, the movie just goes completely off the rails and ventures into Batman & Robin territory (only worse because it’s just boring). I have no idea what they were thinking with that movie.

They adapted Garth Ennis Max stuff but overlooked the fact Ennis stuff is mostly satirical.

The Punisher shooting that guy right in front of Colin Salmon's frustrated cop character was a funny scene though. Also it's the one Punisher movie that doesn't make him former law enforcement which is a plus since Castle's lack of faith in the justice system is a key part of why he becomes a vigilante.

That Nick Fury movie is a real treat of absolute nonsense. Any Real Housewives fan will get a kick out of Lisa Rinna playing Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, I certainly did. She's kind of the best thing about it. The movie would make an incredible double feature with the 90s Captain America, who's always feigning illness and stealing cars.

Deadline.com is doing their annual “Most Valuable Movie” tally. But they also take note of the biggest money losers. And according to them, these are at the top (bottom):

The Marvels (Disney) <$237M>

The Flash (WB) <$155M>

Indiana Jones & the Dial of Destiny (Disney) <$143M>

Wish (Disney) <$131M>

Haunted Mansion (Disney) <$117M>


By their own criteria, Deadline doesn’t include movies produced for streaming — even if they had a theatrical run. E.g.: Killers of the Flower Moon.

Disney Detonates Four Bombs In Deadline’s 2023 Most Valuable Blockbuster Tournament

Disney's The Marvels, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Haunted Mansion and Wish, and DC's The Flash were big movies that lost out on profits.
