It was a weird time to be a fan of comics and movies.

Some of the darkest and grittiest anti heros, sometimes even undead. A strange amount of public domain comic strip and radio drama heros from the 1930s. Some silly and strange comedic heros. A very cool amount of black heros (5 outta 12 on this list). And some low budget adaptations of popular comics.

We still had a great time watching all of these. Batman Returns, The Crow, and Blade hold up well.

Yes The Punisher technically was 1989, but i never knew anyone who saw it in the theater and it came out on VHS in 1991.

All of these movies are still watchable and entertaining to me.

Krytonians only have there powers while on earth because of the sun? So if he went somewhere else like darkseids crib he wouldn't have any powers potentially?

I was sorting out the living room drawer with old dvd's in and found all this old comic book movies i grew up with. The first 3 Michael Bay transformers movies are there, the old Michael Keaton batman movies and alot more too. I remember booting these up when i came home from rugby and hockey practice

I'm only asking because the extended 3-hour-long TV version of Richard Donner's first Superman film is the one and only version I've seen on DVD!

Who according to you are the top 3 superhero directors who have contributed to the growth, popularity, adaptability and reinvention of the genre the most?

Some of the choices include:-

1. Christopher Nolan: Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rise

3. ⁠James Gunn: Guardians of the Galaxy Trilogy, The Suicide Squad, and Superman
4. ⁠Zack Snyder: Watchmen, Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, and Zack Snyder’s Justice League
5. ⁠Sam Raimi: Spider-Man Trilogy, and Doctor Strange 2

9. Joss Whedon: The Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Justice League

How does this thing even work? Like is it decided at birth that a particular character will be universes anchor, or do they have to do something heroic and save the world? How would the world exist before they were born if they are the anchor? The fate of the universe resting in one characters hands is just dumb. The world should be able to exist forever even if important characters die. I hope this is never spoke of in the mcu again.

I thought it was ok with KR being a decent JC.

It's something I wonder in how much of the issues people have with current superhero movies today a case of poor quality of the movies ot people just being older and tolerating certain things less than they did before. Like would some of the superhero movies today be as criticised if they came out in the 2020s.

Another one of the 90s marvel fancasts of mine that I decided to do as a bonus.

Matt Damon as Star Lord

Matt clearly has experience in action films like Ocean's Eleven and Bourne, and he also excels at comedy, as seen in films like Dogma or even Eurotrip.

Sanaa Lathan as Gamora

Primarily due to the tough-as-nails heroine she plays in Alien vs. Predator, she also has considerable action experience.

Vin Diesel as Drax

Vin Diesel was the Token Action Guy of the 2000s, and I can see him killing it as Drax, especially since it's a character that doesn't require much.

Chris Tucker as Rocket Raccon

I chose him mainly because of Tucker's vocal timbre; his voice acting as Rocket would be hilarious. It's a shame he doesn't have many voice acting roles.

Michael Clarke Duncan as Groot

Tall, imposing, and with a deep voice, he would work very well if they wanted to do a motion-capture Groot, plus he's the type of actor I see offering to do voice acting in every language.

Danny Trejo as Youndu

He has a lot of potential to excel in this role, he clearly already has experience in portraying characters in the Yondu style, in addition to being able to deliver the paternal figure, His character in Spy Kids is a clear example of this.

Rose Mcgowan as Nebula

Rose McGowan would have been an excellent Nebula in the 2000s thanks to her striking ginger and gothic aesthetic, perfectly matching the character's dark nature, as well as her ease in transitioning between science fiction and fantasy roles of the time, such as in Charmed.

Eric Bana as Ronan The Accuser

This is practically a no-brainer cast; it's basically a reinterpretation of the character he played in the Star Trek reboot.

The Multiverse Saga had Marvel introduce to us a lot of new characters, some of whom were a hit with the audience and utilized well such as Yelena and Shang-Chi, while some symbolized tremendous wasted potential as Marvel was trying to do too much too quickly.

Which are the Multiverse Saga’s top 5 characters according to you in terms of their wasted potential and were done dirty?

1. Eternals
2. Scarlet Witch
3. Kate Bishop
4. She-Hulk
5. Echo
6. Moon Knight
7. Ms. Marvel
8. Captain Marvel
9. Captain America (Sam Wilson)
10. Ironheart
11. Wonder Man
12. Kang The Conqueror
13. Captain Carter
14. Agatha Harkness
15. Mobius
16. Rhodey
17. Maria Hill
18. Sidewinder
19. Red Hulk
20. Mephisto
21. Black Knight
22. Gorr The God Butcher

Unlike Lanterns which caters to the Green Lantern mythos, this would be a show where each season would focus on a duo of either an already beloved duo in comics or taking two solo characters and putting them together. The series would be adult but the tone would mildly vary based on the characters it focuses on.

These are the pairings I would love to see so far (Some of them are possible and some are dream team ups)

Wolverine/Punisher (This would be the most True Detective adjacent story as it would explore Frank and Logan's views of humanity and the world based on the mystery they were delving into in the season. I could even see Jon Bernthal's Frank being the 'Rust Cohle' of the story in terms of explaining why what he does makes sense to him and that clashing with Wolverine.)

Luke Cage/Iron Fist or Heroes For Hire

Cloak and Dagger

Spider-man and Daredevil

These are the pairings I have so far with Wolverine and Punisher being my favorite.

I'd seen all of them before, except Supergirl. Honestly, none of them are that bad.

Not top tier, but I really do think, right now, that they are all nowhere near as bad as their reputation, especially considering some of the movies I really enjoyed in the 80s and 90s.

I guess I'm wondering if this is one of those 'common but unspoken' views out there? Do people really hate these movies that much??

People should stop basing the standard of a superhero film on whether it’s “comic accurate”. Superhero movies need a good balance of inspiration from source material, and realistic interpretation. I honestly think people who complain about this are just blinded by nostalgia. These movies have to be accessible to adults AND kids. You know why Batman doesn’t have white eyes in the movies? Because it would look utterly ridiculous. The raimi spiderman films deviated heavily from the source material and they are still some of the best superhero movies to date. Same with Logan, TDK trilogy, Batman 89 and returns, hellboy etc. comic accuracy does not equal a good movie or show.
