Who most deserves their own movie?

Started by roughrider17 pages

From the DC list, Wonder Woman and Green Arrow are the only ones that would interest me (even with Hawkeye's claim on the trick archer title now, I think you could find a way to do Ollie distinctly.)

The Marvel list - all of the above. Black Panther would work best getting in a future Avengers movie, Luke Cage as part of an ensemble; Heroes For Hire or better yet, Marvel Knights. Imagine a buddy movie with him, Iron Fist, Daredevil and Punisher all doing their thing in New York and then having to come together...Brian Bendis would be giddy!

It'd be pretty cool if they could do a side Marvel Project where they make an Iron Fist movie and a Cage movie and then they bring them together to make a Heroes for Hire movie. Like a Small Avengers wave to run concurrently with Avengers. That would take things a step further in their movie Continuity.

I deserve my own movie ahuh

If your goal is "summer blockbuster" then the only answer is Nova. Epic military cosmic sci fi action = no brainer.

no offence but that sounds a little too cliche for it to work.

how about starting out in the middle of a conflict between Strange and Aggamatto, then flashing back to various bits and pieces, to explain how events got there... Strange's accident being tied in somehow (say Aggamatto did it to divert Strange onto his present course).

End up with Strange being given the Eye and the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme, but just as he basks in the glory of his exalted position, we find that some sinister force is actually taking possession of his soul... ended like Twin Peaks!

Wasn't mine the origin though.

If they make a Nova movie, my advice would be the study the Green Lantern movie...and don't repeat the many errors seen. 😉

Re: Who most deserves their own movie?

DC:
Wonder Woman - hot amazon princes in a skimpy costume with some crazy ass back story, hell yes!
Aquaman - dude who swims around and talks to fish - NAH!!
Flash - guy who runs really fast with a not so interesting back story - NAH!
Dr. Fate - dude he wears a silly helmet - NAH!
Green Arrow - hawkeye doesn't deserve his own movie, neither does this guy.

Marvel:
Namor - see aquaman
Black Panther - hellz no!
Luke Cage - again, NO!!
Dr. Strange - um...nope, see dr. fate
Nova - hmmm... nah! not interesting enough.

Nova, and the Guardians of the Galaxy. Have Thanos kill them all, setting him up as a legit threat for the Avengers in the minds of the General moving going audience. 😎

GL failed imo because they broke space opera rule #4. Never try to build the universe up during the story. The universe has to already have been established with a conflict already in place. The viewer is then invited into a seemingly already rich and lush story-verse. They tried to mix super hero origin story with space opera. Oil and water.

My thing would be to stay away from origin stuff altogether or touch upon it in a way that doesn't confound the plot. Jump right into it kinda like Nova's Annihilation prologue. Set up the main players, and then get to it.

A Nova movie could very easily bomb.

Green Lantern failed because it felt like it was directed by eight different people and then mashed together with no tact in the editing room. It is mind boggling how one person could direct such a disjointed mess with no sense of unity.

Any of these movies could easily bomb. I'm talking about which of the aforementioned would most likely succeed conceptually.

Geoff Johns was a part of it. just sayin 😉

Wonder Woman
Aquaman.

Both characters live in places that would be visually stunning in live action, probably even more so than how Asgard looked in Thor.

Black Panther, because he's already an Avenger and could tie-in to the shared universe, and also because of the success/quality of the Blade films (well, the first two) and Panther being a similar character (semi-obscure to the general public, martial arts action).

I like the idea of a Heroes for Hire film with Iron Fist and Luke Cage also.

A Green Lantern movie that makes sense.

Nova Prime.

I like space opera's, so my pick goes to those two franchises if they stick more to the space aspect of the story and shift to earth only at the end (setting GL as the space cop for DC earth and being a part of the JLA for example).

They would likely have to make major changes to the Annihilation story such as changing the battlefield to Earth in order to make people other than comic geeks care.
