Comic Book Movies (and lots of them!)

even as far as comic characters go he's an unrealistic character

1. I'm not a big fan of a naked silver dude that rides a surf board across the Universe 🤨 WTF is up with THAT?!?!?

2. you forgot to mention that there was just ONE season. Personally i didn't like the old X-men toons when they first began.... 😬 You have no way of knowing if it would've become better in the following seasons.

3. I dunno if it'd be good or not.....the CGI would probably dominate the screen, and it might become another comic book lover slug-fest "He looked crapp vs he looked good" like after the Hulk.

4. I was just asking/wondering 🙁

They should make WWII movie with Namor, Captain America and orginal Human Torch on it.

That cartoon series was absolutely magnificient...the emotion in the storyline was strong, and the visuals were great. It nowhere near sucked...the only thing that sucked was that it got cancelled WAY before it's time.

And Superman is realistic?

Nobody's mentioned a possible Thor movie, so I will suggest it. Like the Surfer, it's tricky...but if they were to make it Troy-esque, it might work.

Superman is more realistic than Surfer..... Smallville shows that

Silver Surfer should at least have cameo appearances. Like if they do a FF4 sequel, and make their enemy Galactus, Surfer could squeeze into the picture to help the FF4 out, and hopefully get his name out to do a spin off movie.

Galactus has battled the FF4 on more than one occasion with the help of other cosmic beings of course. Galactus and Silver Surfer would be cool to see on the big screen.

It might work. Plenty of people know/love Thor, and i bet the movie would bring in Mythology lovers as well as comic book lovers. But if it were to be done, it should be done in one of two ways:

1. Asgardian battle between him and Loki being reflected in his actions on Earth

2. Direct fighting in Asgard.

I'd prefer the 1st myself. More like a subtle influence that Loki has. That would reflect the comic book and mythology persona that he has.

They should also be careful not to let Mjolnir steal the show. Give it importance, but don't turn it into the main hero. 😬

Did any of that make sense???

Don't forget, THOR is somewhere in the works. David S. Goyer has said he's involved and has ideas. Now that Marvel has made a big pact with Paramount Pictures for remaining characters, I can see him coming from there.
Casting ideas...? 💃 💃 💃

I would've said Jason Lewis but apparently he's doing the He-man remake so.....i dunno

THOR...I think I found him. NATHAN JONES.
I know, not familar...he was in the the first reel of TROY.
The thessalian warrior called out to match Achillies - when he stepped out of the line, I gasped. He was so big, I thought he was computer-generated! But he's real. A sometimes wrestler and bodyguard from Australia, he's 6'10 and 330 lbs. Back in the nineties he won a world's strongest man competition.
If he can look good with reddish-blond locks and act a little, I'm sold.

He looks the part muscle-wise.....but a few problems.....he's bald 😑 , he has no professional acting background, and he prolly couldn't do the Thor accent 😬

Well, yeah...he's bald. For casting, I wouldn't want to wait around for a couple of years for someone to grow hair to the right length. Wig. And beard( halfway through film, on Midgard, shaves it off?)
And yeah he's Australian, but so is Russell Crowe and he did a good guttural as Maximus. Anyway, it's just a hunch. Maybe he can't act a lick, even though Thor - like Conan - doesn't require a lot of subtlety.
They could put wig and wardrobe on and he won't look right, who knows.

When Nicolas Cage did a wardobe test for Superman - God, he looked creepy - and wrong!

2nd choice: Tyler Mane?( Sabretooth) 📖

Although, now that I think about it, I believe Goyer said something like if he had his way, he wouldn't be casting any wrestlers for this role. Who then? Some Swedish strongman off of ESPN? 😕

Actually Nathan Jones the Colossus of Boggo Road(Yes that was his wrestling name) is in the new movie Tom Yung Goong. It's basically the same cast from Ong Bak, Tony Jaa returns, but not as Ting Pradu, but as another different kind of warrior blending Muay Thai, Joint Manipulation, and Aerial Kicks, with flashy take downs.

Nathan Jones would be perfect for Thor. Look, big bald fu<ker in the poster:

Here Nathan is in Troy:

With long goldilocks, he'd be perfect for Thor.

Ah, the caffine got me thinking now - 3rd choice for THOR: Rolf Moeller.
aka Hagan from Gladiator.
A bit older; currently 46, but a 6'6 brick shitehouse of muscle. A Mr. Universe in 1985, and German - so a true Scandinavian. And can act. 😖mart:

Thanks for the picture, Sentry. Just picture Nathan swinging that hammer...hahaha

Kung Fu Bump

For some reason i want to see a captain marvel film it could be done in my opinion... right casting and mabey some decent cgi for lightening effects, and SHAZAM we have a Captain Marvell film

Which company has the rights to the Silver Surfer? And who would be best to play the role?

Silver Surfer could be good if they went really stylized with it, like they did with Sin City. Not in the Sin City style of course, but they shouldn't make it like Star Wars, so many special effects that they try to make look "real" that just end up looking stupid. They should make it a grandiose space opera, over the top, brooding philosopher who looks ridiculous, but can take out anyone.
