When the Guardians of the Galaxy movie bombs (and I suspect it's going to be a huge dud), what are those IH #271 and associated GoG comics going to do?

 

The visuals that I've seen look great. More true to the comic than most Marvel movies.

Hmmmm, I think the movie is gonna do well.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "bomb".

 

It will make a ton of money. No doubt.

 

I agree

 

There will always be a few boardies who will throw out the 'it will bomb' talk. Plenty of IM3 hate and that film cranked out $1.2 Billion to date.

 

 

I see GotG doing just good enough to launch an animated cartoon series.

 

I THOUGHT Iron Man 3 would be good.

 

 

And ya........it was so-so. The Mandarin thing was just atrocious though.

If Harbinger is a Wannabe X-Men, couldn't you say X-O Is a wannabe Iron Man?

 

Only if you've never read X-O Manowar and Iron Man. :baiting:

 

X-O Manowar is an amalgamation of several heroes: Captain America (man out of time), Iron Man (armor suit), and Conan (barbarian). The character has bits and pieces of all these heroes, but doesn't really relate directly to any of them. The otherworldly origin of the X-O Manowar armor also further distances the character from Iron Man.

 

 

So THIS is X-O Manowar?

I read the solicite for that while making my order for this month. Never heard of it before. Looks pretty interesting though.

Don't know about that last one looks pretty crappie. lol

 

(thumbs u Ya, because THATS never been done before.

 

There's SO SO SO SOOOOO many of these, comics about special forces/agents/assassins/special ops/ etc that are based on comics, no one even KNOWS they were based on a comic, and no one ends up caring about the comic (or even the show/movie for that matter).

I kind of wish it was The Massive instead. I think that story has the most potential for massive success. Modern day pirates, environmental disaster, adventure.

 

 

Don't count it out yet seems like there is a announcement every day. lol

I'll keep :wishluck: for you.

 

I only have one very small little wish. A year or 2 from now, they give East of West the Game of Thrones/The Tudors/Deadwood HBO treatment. :devil:

 

Networks have made tremendous strides in recent years and the quality of their shows has increased exponentially. Take a look at TWD, Sleepy Hollow, Revolution, Black Sails, etc. and you get the idea. I don't know stories like EOW and Saga would appeal to a lot of people but they are no farther out than Game of Thrones imo.

 

It's pretty funny, though, in Game of Thrones (just finished Season 2), like the "big" battle scenes, how you can still tell it's a TV show because they keep the filming VERY tight, don't pan out. You can tell it's still a limited budget, limited scope, and that they kind of hit the wall in terms of what they can do.

I know you don't get the Braveheart, Kingdom of Heaven, or even King Arthur with Clive Owen type battle scenes but the story is still wonderfully bittersweet. I can't wait for seson 3.

You need to finish season 3 there are scenes in that that look like Lord of the Rings. Watch for a massive marching army scene...
