Who most deserves their own movie?

Cumberbatch for Dr. Strange!!!

You all know you want it.

Thanos

The day Aquaman gets his own solo movie is when it's been directed by James Cameron and stars Leonardo DiCaprio. Until then, I'd say it won't happen. Pop culture last remembers Aquaman as the punchline of a Seinfeld episode.

i think i get what he means

marvel is more cartoonish in a way, the characters are more colorful and a bit more child friendly (iron man, hulk, thor, spiderman)

dc is more serious, darker tone and more geared towards adults imo

😆

Good one.

Entourage? 😕

Wasn't talking about that so much as the fact that Aquaman is attracting readers now that it never had before. Sites like IGN are doing features about why people should pay attention to the guy.

And Johns is writing him. If he continues to push Aquaman the way he did Green Lantern, I can see things changing quite impressively.

Yeah, the Blade and Punisher movies were flicks you could take the kids to. 👆

neither of those are mainstream marvel...they both have max brand, which is marvel's way of targeting the mature crowd

i was comparing the mainstream marvel with dc.

As far as the action goes, a lot could be covered by the special effects. I would like for Docs martial arts skills to be showcased though.

No doubt its a serious role and like you, Doc being humorous I wouldn't think quite fits. Unless he had a character like (let's say) Spiderman co starring. I have no details as to who's co starring. I think Johnny can pull it off.

Watching Johnny do Kung Fu mixed with astral manipulations would be cool. But yeah I'm not sold on Depp.

I can't see him sporting the beard. But original Strange was an odd looking fellow. Great choice for personality.

I want Leo to play Donald Blake in the next Thor movie. And a love triangle between Jane Foster, Blake and Thor eventuates. Blake was a past love of Fosters and this can be explored.

Could be what Thor needs to be a little more interesting.

Both are about equal, but I think Marvel does more to appeal to a broader age group than DC does (not that DC doesn't try, because they do).

No company is inherently more kid friendly than the others though, when talking purely about characters.

Not sure how mainstream Marvel is more kid-friendly than DC. Unless you want to compare their marquee characters?

Captain America
Iron Man
Thor
Hulk
Spider-Man
Wolverine (and the X-Men)
Fantastic Four

as opposed to

Batman
Wonder Woman
Superman
Green Lantern
Flash
Justice League as a whole
Possibly Teen Titans

If you honestly think Marvel is more kid friendly character wise when placed against DC, you're pretty deluded.

marvel has more kid-friendly characters like spiderman, thing, hulk, iron man, etc

Pierce Brosnan (maybe 10 years ago) could have played Strange.

DC has Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Robin, etc.

All these characters can and have been placed in serious, darker, and more mature storylines. And all of them have been made kid friendly for the masses.

Im not deluded jake...the box office prove me correct

batman only worked when it started going dark (with nolan taking over) and audiences loved it

whereas if you watch the marvel movies (spiderman, avengers, IM), theres a much more cheery, less mature tone...and the audience for marvel movies tend to be broader age groups

when batman was made kidfriendly, he failed. batman doesn't fit a kid-friendly motif...he needs a dark, grim one.

hulk on the other hand is better as a kid-friendly version than dark version. thats why the solo hulk movies failed...they tried to make hulk dark...but audiences love the wacky avengers hulk that cheapshots thor out of the frame.

If your argument is that Batman's movies are darker than most of Marvel's, you should have said that to begin with. But Batman, contrary to popular belief, is not the sum of DC.
