What kind of Superhero movie would you like to see made?

[Saiyaman]

Well with Superhero movies now being the talk of the town I figured it to be fun to talk about what kind of superhero movie we would like to see. My problem with Super hero movies (because I used to collect the comics) is that they get the characters wrong. The Person I'm about to name is a clear example of that.

I have a weakness for the "Underestimate this girl at your own peril" kind of superheroes.

So with me, it's Jubilee without a doubt.

Jubilee is a girl in her mid teens who's short, shouty, bratty, a total tomboy, but when she cuts loose is extremely powerful.

She appeared in the cartoon series, the "Generation X" movie and in the background of almost every X-men movie but they didn't get her right. Because in those series she's portrayed as a little girl who constantly needs supervision and is living in a foster home.

Jubilee and Wolverine in the X-men Cartoon series.

Jubilee in "Generation X"

Jubilee in "X-men"
I found the explanation on why her character was changed when I started reading the old issues of the comic series. The role Jubilee had in the cartoon series was actually Kitty Pryde's but because of Pryde not being a regular character in the issues back then, they used Jubilee instead and gave her Pryde's mannerism

The Jubilee they SHOULD make a movie about is the Jubilee who was orphaned, lived on the streets, fought, stole to survive and basically was a tough girl.

One of Jubilee's earliest appearences, stealing to survive.

But as tough, sassy and streetwise as she was, she still had a lot of pent up grief over the loss of her parents, her being homeless and not having a normal childhood a side that would only came out when being with her surrogate dad. Jubilee had this close Father-Daughter bond with Wolverine, so maybe she should appear in a movie of the Wolverine franchise.

The scene where Jubilee first encounters Wolverine, I can so see this in a movie.

Again though, in every appearance Jubilee played the role of Kitty Pryde, in "Generation X" the movie Emma Frost and Banshee pick her up at her foster parents house and that tough "If I say jump you say 'How high?'" 'tude, that the streetwise Jubilee from the comics had in spades, wasn't there at all.

I found this series by pure accident and fell in love with the dark, gritty, adult style of comic that it was. He's kind of like the original batman, more a detective than a over-the-top superpowerful guy in spandex.

He uses a gas that puts people to sleep but worked as a truth serum. So he spends a lot of time talking to sleeping people.

His partner? Some young boy who looks up at him in a way that makes some people very uncomfortable? Nope. He was helped by his girlfriend and lover Dian Belmont, the domino and sexy legged 'Sandy'. Mostly she spied on people and drove him to distraction.

I'd liked to have seen "Blackshirt" as a cartoon or decent film.
Written originally by Bruce Graeme.
It goes back a long time, but he's a bit of a criminal, a bit of an investigator; does things the the feds are not permitted to do, and so on.

 

[lovecraft68]

Any superhero movie that does not feature either the X-men-and any splinter group and especially Wolverine. They have been beaten like a dead horse for the last 2 decades and they all bore me.

 

[oggbashan]

None.

I'm not impressed with any of the recent movies. Maybe I'm too old. The movies seem to be aimed at 12 year old boys (and now girls too).

I'd like to see movies with an original plot about human interaction and far less CGI action. Shoot-em-ups and car chases aren't entertainment for me.

Wonder woman but I must be done with class.

Wonder woman but I must be done with class.

That one's tough because her costume is and pretty much always has been pure fanservice. It could be modified to some extent, but go too far with it and people will balk. Wonder Woman's image is along the lines of Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, etc. in how iconic it is, and thus a real risk to tweak.

Hard to do class in a star-spangled lingerie, and it's going to be hard to get people to accept anything else.

 

[sr71plt]

I don't go to superhero movies that take themselves seriously. I enjoy the campy ones.

Then good thing they shot the "Beyonce" idea down

Lucy Lawless was Wonder Woman to the tee and was asked about it.

her response? did not want to be typecast as an amazon.

So instead she faded away after Xena until her next major project which was talking dirty and showing her ass in Sparticus(hubby directing)

Now, I will add that Lawless at any age and with red hair talking dirty and showing her bits is nothing to complain about.

Funny I actually agree with you. Loved Xena and Lucy seems like such a cool lady. Would take a lot of searching to find a younger women for the roll I don't think there is an actress out now who would fit.

She was ideal because she was a big, but sexy beautiful woman who looked like she could kick your ass, but if anyone saw those pics of her, knew she was pretty feminine when she needed to be.

Also the movie would have done well because being in the comic industry for the last 25 years I can tell you that Lawless has achieved cult status with the fan boys.

Mine has already been done, and it was terrible. I need to see a remake of Elektra.

I don't know if I have ever been more disappointed in a movie than I was when I saw the Jennifer Garner movie. Just about everything about that movie was wrong, starting with the costume, hair, and make-up.

Cosplay girls do a better job than Fox studios did.

The story needs to be grittier, and stick closer to the Daredevil run by Frank Miller, who created her. Of course, that would be difficult now that Disney is making its own Marvel character movies, and Fox only has a few licenses to work with.

I agree, but I give props for them actually bringing in "Stick"

I did not like her portrayal in Daredevil either, more love interest then killer for higher and Ben asshat sucked as DD, but I have to admit Duncan was a good Kingpin despite the glaring shall we say pigment difference and Colin was a good Bullseye.

 

[lovecraft68]

Oh, I never answered the question.

Swamp thing #'s 38-50 Alan Moore's American Gothic storyline complete with a true John Constantine (you know blond hair British accent? Not Keanu Reeves)

Despite Ben Affleck, Daredevil wasn't a total failure. But Elektra went entirely off the rails.

Another one I'd like to see is Frank Miller's Ronin.

I think Guillermo del Toro would be the perfect director for this project.

 

[lovecraft68]

The fantastic Four with the real Galactus, not some cloud.

Now that I am thinking about it, just a decent FF movie would suffice.

 

[LaRascasse]

Though strictly speaking not a superhero, I totally dig Revy from Black Lagoon. She swears like a sailor (cocksucker is almost a term of endearment to her friends), shoots with a manic smile and deadly accuracy (not sparing unarmed civilians, sometimes for fun) and she's one of the good guys! I think there is a ton of potential for a movie portrayal, but it would take some script to match the bleak, nihilistic, borderline psychotic feel she has in the anime.

While we're on anime, why not have a go at Death Note as well? A properly done movie would be incredible.

For more conventional Superheroes, I'd like a few standalone adventures just starring Rorschach from Watchmen.

Maybe a team up with the Comedian, talk about a pair.

The flamethrower-armed cigar-smoking horny douchebag and the demented angst-riddled psycho.

Just an FYI for the others, these are the good guys. Really.

I originally loathed comedian for the early on rape flashback.

But the mother fucker won me over with his sheer bad attitude and bad ass fuck you tactics.

best line of the movie was when he told Manhattan "Oh, yeah? well you could have stopped me" when Manhattan was appalled he shot the pregnant woman.

Sucks he died first.

 

[slyc_willie]

What I would love to see done, but would never happen, is for an ambitious studio and producer to create a completely original Golden Age/Atomic Age team complete with flashy costumes, garish names and over-the-top action. Think The Avengers but with no comic history preceding it.

Like I said, though, that would never happen. No studio in the world would invest the kind of money required on a gamble like that, not when there are so many options already out there with an existing fan base.

So I guess we'll be stuck with X-Men, Batman and Spider-Man rehashes . . . .

 

[Darkniciad]

I'm certainly curious about Days of Futures Past ( the upcoming X-men movie )

At the very least, I want to see how they utilize the device of time travel and alternate timelines to reconcile the dumb creative decisions in X3 and the timeline inconsistencies introduced in First Class. That's one of the things the directors say they are trying to do with the movie.

Still no return for Nightcrawler, though

 

[lovecraft68]

The excuse for night crawler being left out of the 3rd X=men movie was that Beast was in it as well as Mystique. They said there were too many Blue characters.

 

[MSTarot]

A maybe Chinese (Jackie Chan possibly) directed 'Iron Fist' It has to have that westerner in a strange land feel

Or maybe even Powerman and Iron Fist, though Luke Cage will be a hard character to pull off without being both campy and racist as hell. The comic got it's start in the early 1980s and Luke was sort of a body builder meets a soul train dancer as far as his look and 'jive' mannerisms.

Would love to see maybe Weta Workshop do the set design for the city of K'un L'un. Its' oriental and sort of magically elven-ish all at the same time.

Iron Fist was always a kind of small time comic character, never really one of the big boys. But I did like the fact that when he had to he could drop even the bad guys that the Avengers and X-Men had trouble with.
