One thing that used to bother me was people pretending to not understand Cavill's Superman. Dude performs selfless act after selfless act and you pretend to not know why he spends his free time with mostly just Mom and Lois? He has emotional batteries just like the rest of us.

Must be their excuse for the bad Cheez Whiz joke in Endgame.

There's a possibility that they won't even slab it, so you'd be best off trying to fold it in yourself if submitting.

all they need to do is change the title of the film to "The New Adventures of Off-White" and then all the people triggered by the changes no longer care.

Not a bad idea...

Based on my observations, seems he really puts the Sauce in Saucerman.

New Taschen and OSPG

I love how yours is basically a mirror of mine. I'm mostly DC and Harvey, you're mostly Marvel and EC.

I would definitely agree - but boy, trying to get them to see or admit that their fringe ideals don’t translate into big budget movies - that’s where the butthurt comes in.

Sure, there are indy stuff and art house films, and those a valid and great vehicles for expression. I’ll accept any story own it’s own merit and I don’t fault anyone for making a story they feel is important - when it’s an expression of their own creation, or an adaptation - creatively, I respect that. The fault comes when you try to uninterestingly shoehorn a previous idea with a “twist” into society, expecting it to be the next Star Wars and then screaming “racist!” Or “bigot!” When the box office numbers aren’t what you expected.

I got my friend to watch MoS and BvS, trying to get him into some of the stuff I like. He hasn't continued. I stopped 'bothering' him about it after a few weeks. He's more into anime than live-action. The studios should take this approach with repeated ideas.

I just dislike the concept of reworking “classic” stories. Make a new story. If these ideals mean that much to you or they are so incredibly valid - they should, theoretically, stand on their own without the crutch of using an established franchise.

We know that they're not, which is why we know their intentions when they do this stuff, and it's so transparent that most people see through it and reject it.

We get it. We just don't get why they keep trying when it keeps failing. That will be a significant footnote in cinematic history.

Does anyone own this? Is the artwork and coloring 'original'?

I would think that the "3rd" allegation would be most provable, if dad was convinced that his son was attacked when asked to pick him up.

they already made crappy re-imaginings with the Snow White and the Huntsman films

My lord, I completely forgot about those...

That didn't work out to well for them with the remake of "The Little Mermaid".  Budget of $250million + $100 Million marketing for an all in of $350 million (that we know of).  Little Mermaid had a WW gross of $560 million, so split that in half, Disney received $280 million back, still $70 million short of break even.

As perceptively pointed out earlier in the thread... There isn't much of a "target audience" for these projects.

LOL!  What a f'in joke.  @CGC Mike, just admit it, CGC's QC department is non-existent.  Books go from grader to encapsulation and directly to shipping.  Pretending QC exists is just embarrassing.

The CGC name means pretty much nothing to me now.

It's also a mistake to compare a contained story to an ongoing serial...

What Disney did with the original stories was adapt them; Closely enough that they maintained the narrative that the original story intended but with a happy ending. The 'remakes' have little in common, conveying a sense of laziness and alienating those who wished to see a true live-action adaptation of a story that maintained a relative closeness with the source material.

This all echoes my previous post.

If you knew what was in there, I'd consider it. Not close enough for a blind date, though.

Kingdom Come.

Will The Flash make more from VOD than it did in its theatrical run?  

My guess will be "no", because of Max.

$3.50

FedEx sucks.

If we go by CGC's logic, then it could still be up to a 9.8 in grade.
