Isn't Tony Stark supposed to turn into a massive dickhead in this also?
Austin gets a ton of flak for that run I do not feel he deserves. It's mostly decent. He's a bizarre writer at times, but there have been much worse that were tolerated for far longer.
To be fair, Claremont is lauded as a genius, yet probably had more WTF stories and plot points than anyone.
This "conspiracy" has been making the rounds long enough now I'm beginning to wonder if maybe it is at least somewhat true.
I'm not sure I buy they'll be widep-out like they never existed. But...
Well they've definitely done high concept movies. I think this FF is a rush job because they know even if it's terrible (which it will be) they still extend the rights regardless. They tried doing...
I wrote a script a while back for FF that basically followed the story, in the MCU and made it a period piece. Where Reed gets attacked by an alien monster, goes to investigate, fights Mole Man, bam,...
In the beginning of the movie?
I'd almost compare it very favorably to Pirates of the Caribbean
That would probably be the way to do it, because if it flops you can just pretend it never happened. If the whole story is about Scott and Alex's absentee father (or however they make that work),...
You apparently missed half of it then.
And Scott's betrayal and eventually pairing with Jean is a huge, huge part of it.
Still Scott's daughter and both the follow-ups feature Scott in a major...
When they moved to Australia. I don't think people realize how short-lived that period was.
No, Corsair and the Starjammers, naturally.
You don't really need to tie him into X-Men. I mean, eventually he does, but he's been on his own for a while, and he's a bit like GOTG. It could work.
If they really wanted to, they could do a Corsair movie. Make a passing reference to Scott and Alex in the beginning, and just go from there.
Yeah, I do actually. Singer even indicated now that the future is different characters can be born earlier (it was in response to a question about Warren's potential absence). I think they will....
I think that's about the only way to do it. By using X-Force or X-Factor or something like that to pull it off. Just have it be a team that loosely ties to X-Men by virtue of being mutants. Anyone...
He's been in that book on the reg.
Mutant Massacre featured X-Factor heavily, and had several Scott centric tie ins. And it establishes Mr. Sinister, who ends up being tied to Scott in a big way.
Age of Apocalypse? You're really...
Yes, but it fits into his metaphor of racism and Civil Rights. I don't see how that narrative translates to space, in fact it really never did in the comics. The space stuff was just some additional...
WTF are you even talking about. Comic sales are down across the board for everything. Cyclops wasn't driving kids to chose other media over reading.
Cyclops is essentially the original "Wolverine" of the book. Before the X-Men expanded the book was in essence his title, in the same way Reed is basically the go-to person on the FF. It really does...
Give it time.
Kitty gets such a good girl image, but really she's like the resident bicycle of the Marvel Universe. She's almost as bad as Tony Stark.
In the end, ironically, that helped it the most, I think. It's what allowed it to do it's own thing, rather than try to simply mimic the comic.
He bears the distinction, retcons notwithstanding, of being the first X-Man. He's more closely connected to the X-Men than virtually any other character. Even Storm has her own stuff going on....
It's a bit odd to me that some of the rumors of the X-Men demise are coming to pass. Maybe it's just conjecture based off of some things we learned about Axis, but it's really ironic that the...
