    Was WB under some impression that the trailers would NOT be on YouTube within a minute of showing? :wtf:

    They've only started filming, so they tossed together what they've got so far.

    The bigger surprise is that they weren't on Youtube before the Comic-con reveal.

    FF - I just don't know what's so hard about following the established mythos and characters.

    Have they really deviated very far from the source material? Yes, the characters are younger, the back stories are a little different, and Johnny Storm has had a melanin infusion, but, really, it doesn't seem all THAT different to me. :shrug:

    It seems hugely different to me. Young punk kids as the FF rather than the older, more adult version they should be. Complete change to the familial relationships. Doom all messed up, barely recognizable. Storyline lifted from the who-gives-a-shit Ultimates version rather than the classic "real" FF . . . bah. Do it right or don't bother. If you don't want to be true to your source material, why did you pick that material in the first place? Write something original.

    Well, it should go without saying that you also have to write something good. Something coherent that actually tells a story.

    Hey, for a 73-year-old who messed up an ankle and busted his pelvis four months ago, he's got quite a spring in his step. :P

    Oh, so now you're calling him a "drug addict." :bailey: I just said he was a homeless alcoholic, and you're calling him a junkie. Why do you hate America, garamet?

    I can find nothing which says that Jupiter Ascending is an adaptation.

    Oh, and Jesse Essenberg continues to show his ass - now he's bitching at how terrifying it was to be at Comic Con, comparing it to genocide.

    What a horrible casting decision.

    The (surviving) B5 gang at ComicCon recreates their famous TV Guide photoshoot outtake. Again. :lol:

    That's Robin Atkins Downes (Byron), btw, not Jason Carter (Marcus). I guess Jason couldn't make it, so Robin decided to look like him :garamet:
    I love Furst's shirt.

    Look, I get the whole DC vs. Marvel crap. It's been going on for decades.

    And certainly no one can argue that Marvel has done a far better job of bringing its properties to the big screen than DC.

    But in terms of iconic characters that are forever seared into popular culture? Marvel can't hold a candle to DC. Spider-Man might be the only one that comes close, but even Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk and The Fantastic Four are mere afterthoughts in the zeitgeist compared to the likes of Superman and Batman (and, I'd even argue, Wonder Woman).

    The proof? DC's most expensive comic, featuring the first appearance of Superman, sold for about $3-million last year. The second-most expensive comic features the first appearance of Batman and sold for about $1-million. Marvel's most expensive comic (which doesn't even feature Spider-Man) sold for about $350,000. The prices are a good indication of the hallowed place these characters reside in popular culture.
