Mr W Phallus Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I find all this talk of rebooting somewhat depressing; imagine if the actual comic books restarted from the beginning every time a new writer or artist began their run on a series. And why do we even have to see the origins of a superhero? Not having seen Batman Begins isn't going to stop you enjoying The Dark Knight. I realise that rebooting and retelling an origin story isn't necessarily the same thing but more often than not it is, it's like the people who make these films have never heard of exposition. On a completely unrelated note, with the Green Lantern film verging on the horizon the hype it's been generating has got me wanting to read some of the comics but I've never read any before and have absolutely no idea where to start. Has anyone got any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 The return of Hal Jordan, does a great job of telling the backstory in the process. And Geoff Johns is outstanding.

King Jimmeh Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I'm certainly liking the Caps costume more than the new Spidey one. I just don't see how the Spidey costume is meant to be believable if the character is meant to be in high school. Caps' costume looks actually usable.

Mister Jack Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I just wanna see the Red Skull costume. Christ, why is it still a secret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmeyomoves! Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) ...what am I seeing behind him? That's his sidekick Bucky, and his clone... Bocky. I'm pretty sure they're HYDRA agents, though. They're dressed in black for this movie. I guess the green would've been too campy? I'm certainly liking the Caps costume more than the new Spidey one. I just don't see how the Spidey costume is meant to be believable if the character is meant to be in high school. Caps' costume looks actually usable. New Spidey costume? Link, please. *edit* Never mind, found Toshi's thread. Edited January 14, 2011 by Showmeyomoves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr W Phallus Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I'm impressed with that Captain America costume, it actually looks practical. And you know what, I like the new Spidey costume as well. There I said it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showmeyomoves! Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Yeah, I was about to post this, actually. I like it. I remember reading that they were going for an 'Indiana Jones' feel for the movie, which sounds like it could be a lot of fun. I wonder if Bucky will be in it...
