TMP: "As a comic book fan you always fear when a comic book gets a newly announced movie. Will they adapt it correctly? Will the characters be the same? Will the story even seem logical in the characters universe? Newer movies have started to get it a little bit closer to home, but they still fail on some accounts. There are many reasons why this almost always happens, but money, franchise issues, and complexity usually play a role. Comics are known for having a very complex universe, but in return this creates some of the best stories in the world. Hollywood can’t handle that, and that’s why I have come up with 5 comic book events that will never see the light of day on film."
Chillopedia: Sometimes, the most hated characters seen on TV can fall into either side of the spectrum. So, here are 15 of the most hated TV characters of all time.
Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
Bros Review: The series, as the title suggests, is about two adult men who want to behave like children and we are not here for that.
Not a bad list, but I would certainly leave out a couple. I wasn't a big fan of 52 or Marvel vs. DC. And while I would love to see the JSA and Titans on the big screen, they aren't as well known to make that happen. If I had put together this list, I would probably have it go like this.
1. Infinite Crisis (Totally agree with you there.)
2. Marvel Zombies (Love this series.)
3. The Death of Superman/Reign of the Supermen (Complex, but could work if done right.)
4. Marvel Civil War (Heroes vs. Heroes, 'nuff said.)
5. Artifacts (From Top Cow/Image, awesome story with severely underrated characters and ideas.)
The biggest issue is that studios are leary of any comic film that does not have Batman, Superman, or Spider-Man in it. Mainly because they cost alot of money to make and the perception is that the fan boys talk a big game and are very fast to complain about a movie but will not open their wallets to support it. Green Lantern aside (Which I thought was entertaining and not deserving the venom it got) X-Men is the lowest grossing in the series to date and I am not sure Captain American will do well overseas and the W.W.II and Superhero theme plus the very lame converted 3D may put alot of people off.
Thor was a hit but not as large as they had hoped for.
Marvel Zombies would be freaking epic, but I can tell it wouldn't work on the big screen. It just isn't suited for that...BUT it would fit perfectly for those short films Marvel is now making! That'd be a great format, as then it wouldn't have to fit into the "canon" of anything and could just be fun excursions.
Even tough alot of these might not work as a movie but would work as a live action or an animated series or animated movie, although some of these stories are already being done or have been done such as Justice Society of America/Teen Titans is basicly the series Young Justice, and Infinite Crisis/ Crisis on Infinite Earths is basicly the movie Justice league Crisis on two Earths.
