It's completely blue sky fantasizing, thinking about what famous comic arc would get done in live action. It's never happened before; they take aspects of the best stories to come up with something new for live action films. Only exception now is the Avengers. Now that the first teamup has happened against a bigger threat, it could be open season for anything: Thanos, the Kree-Skrull War, Secret Invasion, The Celestials come to judge humanity...but it took six films just to get to this jumping off point.
Animated films, anything could be done. There's less pressure and rules involved in that. Crisis On Infinite Earths would be hugely epic, but probably arrive in a bastardized,compromised effort. I'm looking at clips from the animated version of The Dark Knight Returns, and it's kind of boring because it's too exact; it's the Zack Snyder-Robert Rodriguez style treatment that gives you nothing new to chew on and moves like a walking graphic novel, rather than an adaption.

lol! Galan, do u think Chaos War would be a good animated project? I know that arc has undergone much criticism but as a film project....it could work?

That would be a good one to see.I still think seeing Kingdom Come on the big screen would be awesome.

If Thanos/IG will indeed be involved in the Avengers sequel, then there's no reason why Marvel shouldn't produce an animated version of that saga. Especially since an animated iteration of Secret Wars(involving another nigh-omnipotent character) already exists........
