    I’m still salty about League of Extraordinary Gentleman. Literary Avengers is such an awesome concept, but what we got was so fucking bad Connery walked away from acting forever.

    But it did give us one of the most beautiful movie cars ever which, you know, is nice.

      Read the comic. It does so much better with the concept. Goddammit, can we get at least one good Alan Moore adaptation?! Look at the mans run of Swamp Thing! It’d do well as an animated movie, at the very least!

        I thought the little bit we got with that marvel mini-movie thing was nice. The main character and plot were a little cliche, but the acting was good and the execution hit well.

        Just like Sandman, it could only be good if the man himself was at the helm, but he hates comics now.

        I really don’t think we can and I’m fed up of them trying, why don’t they let old things be old and comics be comics?

        You want to make a good film in the twenty twenties then write a film to be a film in the twenty twenties.

            Are you me? As a kidteen I fucking loved LXG and Connery was my favorite actor so not seeing him again after that did devastate me a bit

            edit: time is weird
