Which franchise would you want Marvel to get back?

[samsnee]

True. It would be cool to see Reed interact with Stark.

 

[Raiden]

How about all of em?

Yeah, that would be the best case scenario, but unfortunately both Sony and Fox would rather spend millions to reboot those movies rather than giving the rights back to Marvel.

I'd like to get both Spider-man and X-Men back, but if I have to choose just one I'll go with X-Men. X-Men has so many great superheroes, and it won't be hard to insert some of them into the future Avengers sequels if they want to. Spider-man is the most recognizable, but I just like X-Men a little more.

I think maybe in another 5 decades or so, when both Sony and Fox exhausted their number of reboots and spin-offs, they'd finally give the rights back to Marvel. Won't be anytime soon, though.

I have to go with F4 for two reasons...

1) I feel that F4 ties very nicely with the Avengers in terms of the scope of the adventures and the threats they face. The tie-in is better, and the way the movies are connecting in the Marvel Movie verse, the F4 cross-over potential is very interesting (particular the cosmic adventure ideas of Skrull/Kree, Thanos, Deviants, encounters with Namor, Inhumans...)

2) The X-Men movie mythos is so fubar at this point. It is really beyond repair, to the point where I feel like "Carl the greenskeeper" from Caddy Shack, trying to skulk away from the carnage...

True, I'd much rather Marvel get the rights to F4 back, because if they do it opens up to characters such as Silver Surfer and Galactus being included in the MCU.

 

[B-man]

I want to see a proper X-men film with a villain other than magneto, and a film which is longer, fox seem to make short films, If I'm paying to see a film I want to get my moneys worth.lol

 

[bubbadoom]

Fantastic Four all the way!

It seems that the X-Men comics spent so much of their history trying to distance themselves from the rest of the Marvel Universe that I do not miss them being apart of the Marvel Film Universe like I miss the FF. The FF have always been the corner stone of Marvel, with SO many concepts and characters having started there, that they NEED to be a part of this now.

As far as an X-Men movie with out Wolverine, isn't that what we are getting with First Class - I sure hope it is!

 

[bubbadoom]

Of course, in a perfect world ALL these properties would be back under the Marvel umbrella.

Yeah well, after the last 2 movies you can't really blame me for not being excited about that film, or expect for it to be a well made X-Men film.
Wolverine being present wasn't the problem in the other movies, it's the use he was given because other characters were not respected or given their due place.
The same mistake could be done with this new movie, and from what I've seen so far it's exactly what's happened.

How so? First Class actually looks pretty amazing. I don't have any negative feelings about it at all so far. Whereas with X3 and Wolverine I always had a sneaking suspicion they'd be trash.

With First Class, it seems Fox have actually learnt their lesson and let the filmmaker, the guy who knows how to make movies, make the film. Instead of some prick in a suit.

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

All of them...especially Ghost Rider.

First mistake: Not making it a reboot.
The 'isolated story-but still linked' concept is something they obviously can't grasp. That's how you end up with an origin film full of contradictions, like Emma Frost being in an adult in the 60's and then a teenager whenever the Wolverine movie takes place, which is obviously later on. Also how you have a Beast who looks mostly human, turns feline bestial, turns humanoid again (X1) and then turns back to blue, but more ape-like bestial (X3). Something similar will probably happen with Havok, whom they chose to introduce instead of his older brother for god knows what ridiculous reason.
And we come to the second problem: lack of understanding(or respect) for the source material.
Somebody who understands the X-Men mythos would know why it's not a good idea to simply change things at random and substitute characters like they were all interchangeable pieces in a checkers game. Cyclops being the older brother has a place in X-Men history that resonates in stories throughout mayor important events. The same can be said for the members of the original 5 students. You ignore all of that and you're basically saying: hey the only thing you should care about is seeing any given mutant on screen displaying their powers. The iconic stories you've read don't matter we'll just replace them with whatever we want to make up. That's not X-Men. That's superpowered mutants on screen.

What would happen to the Thor movie if they decided to make Loki Odin's step brother instead of Thor's? Wouldn't the character dynamics change? Would that affect the story possibilities? Yes

Needless changes that don't serve sensible purpose.
I was willing to put up with it at first to give it a chance and see if they could make it work. This is the 5th film. They haven't made it work for me. I'm not giving them any more chances.

I will see my X-Men when and if they return to Marvel.

 

[The Morningstar]

Ehh really, I don't give a crap about the continuity. Wolverine is a steaming pile and should be ignored anyway.

And I'm judging it as a movie first and foremost. I couldn't care less about accuracy to the comics really.

From what i've seen, it looks great.

 

[Endeavor]

And I'm judging it as a movie first and foremost. I couldn't care less about accuracy to the comics really.

Yeah, I was like that at one point too. I remember saying something similar before Wolverine came out, and as you put it, look at what a steaming pile of crap that turned out to be.

Then I started watching the Marvel Studios films and guess what, I realized it's okay to make films that are faithful to the comics and don't make irrational changes, because those films turned out great.
So I won't make up any more excuses for FOX.

 

[Hypestyle]

Blade: Get Isaiah Mustafa, Idris Elba or Chiwitel Eijofor and make it happen.. Have Blade do a cameo at the end of the Avengers movie: a woman is chased by a mugger into an alley; the woman is cornered, and the mugger reveals vampire fangs; from a distance, Cap sees and rushes chase to help; before he can battle the vamp, Blade appears and beheads the vampire and sizes Cap up.. "Damn, that outfit's corny..."

 

[Alientraveller]

Marvel Studios still makes changes to the characters, like introducing Iron Monger and War Machine without the alcoholism storyline, blending the TV show and Ultimate origins for Incredible Hulk rather than the classic nuke, and ignoring the 'Dr. Blake discovers he is Thor' story from the comics.

The point is, if it's a good movie, then it's a good movie. X-Men: FC looks to do an excellent job of exploring Xavier and Magneto's friendship. And like Vaughn, it doesn't matter if it ignores minor parts of its continuity because retcons happen all the time (I don't think anyone liked the notion of reducing Emma like that in Wolverine, a film I frankly consider non-canon, and only hardcore fans would notice normal McCoy on the TV in X2).

 

[Blader5489]

How can Marvel not already have Blade back? The last one came out 7 years ago.

 

[Scarlettess]

^ for the same reason that they still don't have Daredevil back.

 

[Diamondhead]

there's a few little comic book stories that deserves their own movies i think.
one of them particularly.
I remember one of my childhood freind telling me about that little heartfelt story about
crusher (you the wrestler that peter parker had to fight in the ring the first time)
that he works as a janitor for a boxing club and he sometimes lies to them about the old days when he used to train spiderman (to valorise himself in their eyes so that they can accept him now that he's old and wash up)

anyways he got beat down everyday by some young bullies
one of them particularly was making the place a living hell.
he lives a sad life ,he would go home alone
nobody's waiting for him in his misarable little appartment
now he was just a lonely old man "obsess" with a legend he had met in the ring back in his days
and finaly one day there's was trouble in the club and spiderman showed up
there was a big fight and everything ,
crusher almost got his head decapitated in trying to help spiderman .
and finaly as usual spiderman prevails and was reintroduced to crusher after all those years

and Spiderman was glad he could help him with his problem (just by backing up all those crazy story he's been saying for years about his pupil spiderman).

I thought it was such a great little story that they should make it into a real live action movie
and as you know it doesn't always has to be in the eyes of the superheroes
it can also be a story about an ordinary guy seeing the story of a superhero through his imagination.

 

[Anubis]

That couldn't possibly work as a movie. Maybe as an episode in the new series coming out or something, but a whole movie? No. Not unless they did some sorta anthology of random Spider-Man adventures. Maybe directed by different directors......or no.

If they were to do a movie that was from the normal guys perspective, they should do Marvels.

 

[The Morningstar]

Yeah, I was like that at one point too. I remember saying something similar before Wolverine came out, and as you put it, look at what a steaming pile of crap that turned out to be.

Fair points. But a good movie is a good movie, regardless of accuracy to source material.

And Wolverine wasn't a steaming pile just because it deviated from the comics... it was a steaming pile because it was just a terrible movie. It's crap even from a brainless action movie perspective... because it has some of the most boring, uninspired action scenes of any comic book movie.

Apart from the Ryan Reynolds bullet slicing stuff. That was pretty cool.

 

[SuperFerret]

Anyone but the X-Men. The Marvel movie universe is SOOOO much better without mutants.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, f**k those dirty muties.

 

[SuperFerret]

Also, no Blade. There's no way you can improve on it, and that f***er shouldn't be anywhere near the Avengers. The Fantastic Four is the only one I see being remotely worthwhile.

 

[Endeavor]

Forget about Scarlett Witch in Avengers then.

 

[Anubis]

Meh, If it means no Wolverine, then I'm willing to make that sacrifice.
