you would think actual comic book fans would be more positive in a thread about a movie that both looks good and is sorta bringing up a multiverse concept by being in the same series but obviously not the same continuity
could open the door for the comic book movies you would want to be made

My response still applies. I enjoy a lot of superhero comics, even the stupid ones. I don’t care if a comic is stupid it should at least be entertaining. My issue with the current crop of superhero films isn’t that they don’t respect canon or that they’re not mature or thought provoking enough. My problem is they’re loving boring from start to finish.

Mystery Men was a good comic book movie. gently caress, it was a great comic book movie and a good movie in its own right. Is it too much to ask for other comic book movies to be as good as Mystery Men?

canon is for catholicism and no character is truly heroic when their actions benefit the imperialist status quo of the first world

no i would just rather look for things to enjoy than look for things to be negative about
talking about how something isnt good is easy lazy and gets tiresome

like the reception of the watchmen movie was just nonstop crying when it was as close to the comics as it realistically could be. comic fans make awful critics

Actually I liked the Watchmen movie and agree it was almost shot for shot faithful to the comic minus the space monster thing which frankly was a pretty weak part of the comics anyway.

i preferred the dr manhattan framing for having a stronger connection to him leaving earth to create life elsewhere and because it leaves out the idea of earth having psychics. the concept of psychics in a world where the heroes dont have superpowers and manhattans story of isolation and losing his sense of humanity... its just cleaner without psychics
but without the psychic monster youre left to wonder what the comedian saw

That's why I would be just like batman, and also I would ignore any criticism of the underlying economic system that makes charity, public schools, homeless shelters and public healthcare necessary while never giving up my huge incomes as a business owner, because otherwise how would I pay for my batcopter that I use to snipe thugs with my batrifle from

How much do I cum? The answer might surprise you!

I want a Garfield reboot that's dark and gritty.

Tune into the fireplace channel, you absolute buffoon
Dismembered parts of Garfield show up at a beach, and it's up to Jon to find the killer.

It turns out that he's a severely mentally deranged man, Garfield never existed as a talking cat, and Jon goes down for cruelty against animals and/or littering.

Half the movie are Memento-inspired flashbacks to classic comic strips like Jon drinking dog semen or owning himself.

When he's finally tried and found not guilty due to insanity, he's taken to a padded cell. The doors lock, he turns around and Garfield is there. Jon screams. Cut to credits.

They already did that in the "you're alone, Garfield" series that was published during the strip's golden years. I don't know of anyone who read that and didn't go "what the gently caress". One of the chapters from "Garfield's 9 Lives" was pretty loving bleak, too. Something about escaping from animal testing and lunging at an old woman's neck in the final panel.

Back in the last Garfield edit thread I was working on a series of edits but never found time to finish it. Jon and Garfield are both addicted to dog cum. Liz cuts off Jon's supply after observing how addicted he is, sending him on a downward spiral that ends with him murdering Garfield in order to steal the last of his stash. I call it 'Reqicum for a Dream'.

I wonder if Jared Leto feels bad that the director of this movie saw his take on the character and was like, “nah”.

I'd like to think all the other actors realized it was supposed to be pure camp, except Stiller, who just overacted cause that's what he does.

Also the best movie he's done is Royal Tenenbaums.
