ParanoidObsessive 08/17/20 3:55:37 PM #116:	That's pretty much the only reason anyone knew who James Wan was before Aquaman, though. His entire filmography is basically just Aquaman, The Fast and the Furious 7, and then like a dozen horror movies. It's probably a case where Aquaman was literally the most successful of all the DCEU movies (yes, really), so Warner Bros is more comfortable trusting him to have more control over things, and he wants to lean more into horror because it's one of the few things he really knows how to do. Though to be honest, Aquaman seems like the kind of film that could actually do horror pretty well. There's some borderline Lovecraftian shit going on in the ocean if you go deep enough, and there've been some pretty dark Aquaman stories over the years. The real problem with Aquaman is that nobody really knows anyone from his Rogue's Gallery other than a) his own relatives, and b) Black Manta, so you run out of potential villains for films (at least ones people won't think are lame) REALLY quickly. If they actually have a villain in mind (and honestly, I have literally no idea who it would be), I could see them doing a Cthulhu/Dagon sort of story as part of it to make things a bit more robust. If we were talking Namor rather than Aquaman, I'd say I could see them going a feud with Lemuria/Mu/Thule, but that's never really been an Aquaman thing (that I know of). Though I suppose the closest to that they could get is if they went with the post-Brightest Day storyline (before New 52 ruined everything) where it turned out Mera was actually from a secret alternate water dimension and had actually come to Earth to kill Arthur. But then that just makes Aquaman's in-laws the villains, so we're right back to the whole "his own relatives" deal. On the other hand, that particular storyline was also a) written by Geoff Johns, and b) introduced Kaldur'ahm/Aqualad/"Blackualad", so I could easily see them wanting to adapt it in the films. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:943495881] in 28 Geeks L...

ParanoidObsessive 08/17/20 5:22:42 PM #120:	Revelation34 posted... I remember the comic crossover where Aquaman defeated Namor by crushing him with a whale. Which was arguably incredibly stupid, because they're both insanely strong and tough. And even aside from the fact that getting hit by a whale shouldn't have phased either of them (the biggest whale weighs about 200 tons, but Namor's literally fought the Hulk and Thor, while Aquaman held his own against Hercules, and both have lifted ships that weighed WAAAY more than that), Aquaman's ability to talk to fish (the one thing he really has over Namor) doesn't really magically allow him to get said fish to fling itself into the air with crushing force. But if I'm remembering right, that crossover was the Marvel vs DC one, where most of the fights were determined by fan votes, so the entire thing was kind of farcical anyway. Like Wolverine (who was pretty much the most popular character ever at the time) beating Lobo in spite of that pretty much being impossible canonically. Metalsonic66 posted... Namor is cooler than Aquaman. I don't disagree! But Namor's rights were so tied up with Universal even outside of the Fox X-Men deal, that it was kind of impossible for them to ever do anything with him. And since Aquaman has always been the more well-known character to casual audiences (and got his movie out first), it feels like any attempt at a Namor movie for the next few decades is just going to get people complaining about how he's a copy of Aquaman. I feel like he's the sort of character they might have to use as an antagonist in a Disney+ TV show or something, where he can sort of establish the "he's a jerk, but still kind of a good guy" tone, and maybe help pump up his popularity before they could push him into the full MCU. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:943499459] in 28 Geeks L...

WhiskeyDisk 08/17/20 7:05:43 PM #123:	Lobo's powerset is a lot like Martian Manhunter's in that it varies wildly depending on the writer. Sometimes he's just merely bodybuilder strong, other times he can go toe to toe with Superman to the point of exhaustion. The only real constants are that he IS for all intents and purposes immortal and has regeneration at least on par with most of Marvel's notable Weapon X program graduates. He's also immune to Ghost Rider's powers. On average, I'd put him in the same tier as Etrigan. Not an existential threat to Earth per se, but nobody really wakes up in the morning hoping to cross his path. --- The SBA has closed for business, we thank you for your patronage Assassins. ~there's always free cheese in a mousetrap. <cite>WhiskeyDisk posted [p:943503629] in 28 Geeks L...

CyborgSage00x0 08/18/20 3:03:50 PM #129:	ParanoidObsessive posted... They've been talking about making once since the 1990s. Every few years it comes up, and someone mentions it's still being planned. It's apparently doomed to be stuck in development hell forever. The real irony is, it's based on a book, and the book was part of a series. So if they did remake it and the remake did well enough, it could jumpstart a new franchise (which is what studios today have wet dreams about). They've got at least four books and a bunch of short stories/comic books they could adapt, so someone could even spin it off into a TV show on something like HBO or Netflix (though the last time they tried to turn it into a TV show, it tanked). I have an almost knee-jerk reaction to remakes and spin-offs, as I've stated before, but Logan's Run is one I've always stood by as deserving a remake. It simply hasn't aged well at all (you can see SPFX charge wires even in the cave scenes), and the sci-fi concepts are super shallow. It could really be spruced up. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. <cite>CyborgSage00x0 posted [p:943535561] in 28 Geeks L...
