At the end of the day, the X-Men and Venom are among the best comic book characters.

With all of the immigration and terrorism talk in America, we really need to bring back Captain America and G.I. Joe. Excellent examples of how these characters are signs of the times.

ETA: I just saw this http://paralleluniverse.msn.com/feat...ory/?gt1=28140 Oh hell no.

what???


Sweetie....where have you been? Captain America is about to be a movie and his comic is still a top selling comic and GI Joe...is still GI Joe.

You lose 10 geek cred points and skip a turn

Batman's still the best.

But the X-men are good too when they're making a horrendous movie.

This is how you and I used to end up fighting. ;)

I saw that after I typed that (see my ETA).

I spend time in comic book stores and know that CA and GI Joe are still popular with older geeks like us. However, Captain America and GI Joe (outside of the decent but not excellent movie they did) aren't reaching non-geeks and younger enthusiasts like Batman et al are. I don't think CA with Tommy Lee Jones will do anything spectacular.

WHHHOOOOOooooaaaaahhhhh...let's make sure we are on the same page heyah...slow down...you DO know that Tommy Lee is NOT Cap right??

2. Captain America was assassinated and replaced with Bucky and just returned to life with a story arc that just completed earlier this year

3. I don't know about the reaching out part because I know where I am he's still popular with a lot of people BUT...at the same time....Batman has had 2 successful movies.

Plus you know about the Thor movie that is coming right?

They're building up an Avengers movie. No, Thor and Cap haven't been as big and out there as some of the other comic heroes, but that's changing as the Iron Man movies have done well.

GI Joe doesn't really have a place right now. I think it'll do OK with the movie series they started, but it's too associated with the cheesy classic cartoon.

^^^ Hey watch it with the cheesy!!!

One can remember a show fondly and still find it cheesy :p I didn't watch GIJoe, but oh man HeMan and SheRa... My Little Ponies... the list goes on.

LOL. Yes, the article I posted is clear on that. ;) I can't imagine the CA movie being that great (it can either be great like the Batman movie, moderate like GI Joe movie, or horrible like the Hulk movie :p) and I'm making Tommy the fall guy. I needed a fall guy.

Yeah...I'm on the fence about that one. I need to be convinced that they won't ruin it.

I have the POWER!

If Marvel is building towards an Avengers Movie, then they need not for those movies to fail.

Heh there is no IF. I suspect they probably don't dare change their minds now.

Yes Prince Adam?

Well the money still hasn't been committed yet...they need these other 2 to do well before it happens.

I'm looking forward for the X-Men First Class movie to come out next year.
