Ryan Reynolds was just a lousy choice as Hal Jordan. If he HAD to be a Green lantern, he should have been Guy Gardner or, at the very least, Kyle Rayner.

I'll go one further and say that Ryan Reynolds would be perfect as Barry Allen's Flash.

agreed with some, however reynolds should never again play a comic book character unless its the Riddler.. jk...jk...jk...

And what Marvel is doing to Henry Pym is a ****ing disgrace.

I don't care who makes Ultron since its suppose to be the movie universe, As long as Ultron is true to his character being a robot that causes trouble that wants to annihilate humanity.

Part of being true to his character is that he was created by Pym, and the ramifications of that.

That said, I wasn't even speaking about Ultron as much as I was the fact that one of the founding members of the team has just somehow been neglected in all of this, and all because of (most likely) some inflated, misguided opinion that he's some sort of wife beater.

Nah, your average person isn't going to know who Pym is, let alone know he hit his wife.

They probably cut him because his powers are pretty lame. People give aquaman shit now imageine how much shit they would give a guy who becomes tiny and talks to bugs.

The execs at Marvel do, though, and it really wouldn't surprise me.

His powers aren't really that lame. Plus, if they were that worried, they could always add his growing ability too.

Aquaman's powers aren't lame. People's perception of them is, as well as being misinformed. It's the same with Pym, imo.

Not saying Aquaman has lame powers. But, considering how he still is under that stigma among the GA, I don't see how Pym would fare any better.

Yeah with Aquaman, He has this lame image with people he talks to fish and he's only useful in the ocean....which is a load of bullshit.

Because the companies that promote them have the power to change how they're perceived.

Most people don't know jack shit about Pym. Marvel could easily make "movie Pym" any way they liked, in a way they liked, and people would gravitate to it, imo.

Aquaman's stigma with comic readers was bad too, but DC pushed to change it, and for the most part it worked. Doing it in a movie wouldn't be that difficult either, I believe.

Well as others have said, the main problem with Aquaman is GA prejudice. They still remember him from the Super-Friends days and aren't familiar with his current powerset and badassery. If they did a film, I'm sure people would enjoy it.

With Pym though, the mad scientist aspect is alright, but do people still like "growing/shrinking" stories anymore? That stuff was popular in the 50's and with the Honey I Shrunk The Series, but I don't see the contemporary GA, who enjoy explosions, fistfights, and elaborate eye-popping CGI setpieces clamoring for a "growing/shrinking" story. It's an obsolete concept IMO.

I've got faith in the person who's directing the Ant-Man, Which is Edger Wright and if the test footage is anything to go by its going to be awesome.

kind of sad that Aquaman has been badass since the early 90s too.

Pacific Rim, but with robots.

I happen to have liked this movie

I find that because I don't read comics, I enjoy superhero films a lot better than fans do. I enjoyed the hell out of both Fantastic Four movies, and while DD and Elektra weren't the best, they were still entertaining. Now Halle Berry's Catwoman, that's terrible no mater how you look at it...

I agree that Pym's negative popularity is similar to Aquamans. And both characters are far more deserving of their received perception by the public.

Which is why I originally pushed my idea of a JLA movie with Aquaman possibly being a villain without a heroic origin movie. but eventually becoming a team member.

Pym is in my Top 5 Marvel characters, he deserves so much more than what he's received. Same as Aquaman.

Haha... well put. I'm kind of the same way (I haven't read very many comics). I actually enjoyed Green Lantern. Think I've watched it twice actually. And I'll probably watch it again. Not because it's a masterpiece, but because it's entertaining. Martin Campbell is an entertaining director.

so,, since this about hank pym now.. 😛

paul rudd is apparently the frontrunner
