    So many to chooes from... I like a lot of them, so I will have to sit and think which adaptation I like the most.... and no it won't be a DC cause those adaptations have actually been bad, IMO.

    Yea. Reeve's Supes is classic.
    I prefer Alex Ross kind of tights. No bumpmapping.... Not bulging every direction...
    And Superman: Unbound had very familiar looking mildly mannered reporter/Superman.
    Even Lois Lane looked bit like Margot Kidder.

    Referencing the movies that are best left buried in the desert next to copies of E.T. the game will score you no favors nor garner any respect from true comic fans kiddo.

    And that girl could barely add an accent worth being called one. Easily one of the worst actors to fill out a set of super tights ( ehr black catsuit wtf thats underworld not x men...gawds the movies....must repress them again.... grabbing bottle of booze and loaded gun....must watch lethal weapon and embrace the role of riggs mourning wife....

    Gee, getting the respect of some comic snobs we don't care about must be really, really important.

    I liked the first two X-men movies, so bite me.

    Iron Man's Red & Gold armor that stays very close to the comic source, especially the intimidating-looking visor. I'm just a little disappointed they chose not to stick with the modulated-voice when Tony speaks while inside the armor beyond the first movie.

    Well dont say that too loudly at a comic con just saying. And what was there to like, the BS way they gave rogue a white hair streak? the non existent fights between wolverine and sabertooth, the least manly man to play the icon of maleness that is cyclops, the worst line in movie history uttered buy storm an alpha class mutant against a beta joke like toad.... seriously I can tear down every single part of that first x men movie more then the wolverine origin movie, well short of the whole mouthless not deadpool deadpool.

    Now I will give you the one decent night crawler scene at the opening of 2 was pretty solid. And that was about it in the first two movies worth talking about. As for 3, at least it had a killer bit of casting for kitty pryde and beast. aside from that yeah.......

    I love how Kenneth Branagh embraced Clarke's Third Law to realize Asgard in Thor, and it carried through wonderfully into the costumes.

    Untitled-43.jpg

    I love this little snippet from IMDB's trivia page:
    When Chris Hemsworth and Anthony Hopkins saw each other in full armors for the first time, Hopkins said "God, there's no acting required here, is there?"

    And that was before Hopkins brought the house down in the banishment scene.

    Daredevil

    10652_5.jpg
    From 'Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back'.:biggrin:

    Don't think Affleck's leather suit be suitable for sneaking and acrobatics....


    And Thor.
    Well the Dark World story was glued together from Walt Simmonson's Thor #344-349, with the Casket Of Ancient Winters story and Malekiths 1st appearance. There was a lot of smiting. The movie kind of merged the Dark Elves and Fire Demons in one. How the elves become fiery Kursed demons. Kurse was one of Thor's enemies in the comicseries. The Casket can be seen in 1st Thor, in Odin's Trophy room. The Ice Giants come to steal it. I would have rather seen giant Surtur walking thru London.

    'Malekith struck an alliance with Loki on behalf of the fire demon Surtur. He took control of a number of Earth humans using special food of the faerie provided by Hela. Malekith then killed Eric Willis, guardian of the Casket of Ancient Winters, after learning its location. As Master of the Hounds, Malekith hunted down Roger Willis, Eric's son and new guardian of the Casket. Malekith battled Thor, and kidnapped Lorelei. Using Lorelei as bait, Malekith forced Thor to battle Algrim the Strong, one of his Dark Elf followers, then attempted to destroy both combatants by plunging them into a pool of magma. He then captured the Casket of Ancient Winters from Roger Willis. Malekith was ultimately defeated by Thor, but not before he destroyed the Casket of Ancient Winters, releasing magical frigid force all over the Earth. Malekith was then brought as a captive by Thor to Asgard.'

    Sorry Finn, I'm gonna have to fudge the rule a bit. I'm picking 5 and posting them all at once. Mostly because I can't find a better individual shot of this version of Atom, who I wanted to focus on.


    Justice-League-of-America-Pilot-Fire-Ice-The-Green-Lantern-The-Flash-The-Atom.jpg

    BEHOLD! The Justice League television pilot, circa 1997.


    From left to right: Atom, Fire, Flash, Hal Gardner the gre...er, Turquoise Lantern and Ice
    Not pictured is Martian Manhunter, I'll let someone else post him if they feel brave. It's baaad.

    The pilot mostly revolved around Ice; how she got her powers and the League's attempt to recruit her. The villain was The Weatherman.

    ...oooh.... I just noticed this part... you're just joking around, I get it now. Yeah, I question the actor choice for cyclops too, I thought that they should have picked someone who fits Cyclops' character much better... like the girl who played Stephanie on Lazy Town.

    Don't even. Cyclops is a badass. Of all the X-Men, Storm is the only one who is on the same level of badass as Cyclops.

    Yeah, he can get pretty Shinkuu Hadouken-like without his visor. I remember that his ultras, in the MVC games, were practically unavoidable; complete meltdown of the left side of the screen.

    I think the best is still Tobey's. This one just has a dumb grid on it, doesn't look like the spiderwebs from the original costume.

    You were talking about his personality and character, not powers. In the movies, that's the only place you'll see him as a blubbering little whiny boy, because the writers were apparently drooling over Wolverine.

    He was angsty in the comic books, but who wouldn't be after all that he'd been through.

    I met Al Simmons at SDCC. He was Todd McFarlane's college roommate; he works for McFarlane Toys now. And he still doesn't know what he did to tick Todd off so badly that Todd would send him to Hell like that...

    You were talking about his personality and character, not powers. In the movies, that's the only place you'll see him as a blubbering little whiny boy, because the writers were apparently drooling over Wolverine.

    He was angsty in the comic books, but who wouldn't be after all that he'd been through.

    Yes.... angsty... again.. you make a good point for why he is nothing like a tweenage girl... o3o

    Okay, take off your "rabid comic fanboy" hat for a second and realize that I'm making a joke. Again... you got really serious about something silly... so I'm going to stare at you like you've lost your mind o_O

    I mean, at least Jon has an excuse for behaving that way.... but what's your excuse? u3u

    Joking or not, lots of people don't give him a fair shake because of the movies.

    And there's a big difference between having your life completely screwed with, and not having a boyfriend because you have braces.

    And it's loads better than "I'm angry because I have a metal skeleton" junk.

    And this is for you, to prove I'm not getting all super serious:

    Quick rundown:

    - Lost his parents to an alien abduction, while he and his brother fell from the plane they were in (with only one parachute). Suffered a concussion, and concomitant minor brain damage, on impact.

    - Separated from his brother in the orphanage (turned out later to be part of Sinister's attempt to mold him into a ruthless villain). Sent to a series of unfit foster parents (same deal).

    - At puberty, along with all the stuff guys usually have to deal with, began suffering horrible migraines, culminating in the development of highly destructive beams emanating from his eyes. And due to the aforementioned damage, he couldn't stop. Anything he looked at was destroyed.

    - Finally adopted by someone halfway decent, who then spirited him away to upstate New York, gave him special goggles to control his beams, and began training him as a warrior.

    - Note that even with his goggles, his attention can't falter, or he'll kill whoever is standing in front of him.

    - Didn't even meet a girl after that until he was college-age. Fell in love with the first one he met (of course).

    - Had an upstart to the team try to get in the way of his courtship of aforementioned girl. And through all the years, said upstart has never given him anything even approaching respect.

    - Lost her twice - first to an alien life force that possessed her body, then in a final battle to prevent the destruction of Earth by the Shi'ar armada. Worse, when she finally fell - he was the one who had to kill her.

    - Had her come back from the grave on more than one occasion. Had to put her back down each time.

    I'd say the dude's earned a little angst...
