Wonder Woman (2017)

Did you know Joss Whedon wrote a Wonder Woman moviebut DC and Warner Bros decided it would be a bad idea, some months later Marvel hires the guys and starts talking Avengers

Joss was attached to a WW project for 2 years during which he only managed to write an outline.
That was 2005-2007 and he signed on to Avengers in 2010, so it wasn't "some months later", it was 3+ years later...
 
Brand new logo for the thread

That's something we need today as much as ever, when Muslim Americans are being victimized by racist demagogues exploiting the ignorant

.

The problem with this line of thought is ISLAM IS NOT A RACE, Islam is not ethnicity, it is not DNA, it is a way of political religious belief or Islam can be looked at as religious cult but it is not 'race. and yet people like Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Tarek Fatah and Sarah Haider and others are called 'RACIST' be regressive leftists for criticizing their own culture or called racist by the insane politically-correct, these brave atheists, ex-muslims and brave aposates are called 'racist' for being critical of religion
People have human rights, the human race has rights, it has rights under Western values, the French/British values, under values in Hong Kong laws, S.Korean laws, in Argentine law, in S.African law, and humans have rights in laws in many other nations, the human race has value and rights under the United States Constitution, the human species has rights under UN law
religion does not have these rights, and it is my free right as a human to practice freedom of speech and to be critical of all religions


Actually, for a long time there was a policy in place that Wonder Woman couldn't appear as a guest star in any TV or film adaptation, that she could only be used if she were a lead character. This was meant to raise her profile, but it backfired because it kept her from showing up as a guest in other heroes' shows, and so she got less exposure..

Ok that makes sense now, thanks for the info
I wonder if the Joss Wonder Woman movie went ahead would it have made big money?
 
Wonder Woman is one of the big three along with Superman and Batman.

I don't think the DC comic has a big three anymore
You got Batman and Superman today and that's it

Its like Coke and Pepsi, or Democrats and Republicans. You got a big 2 in DC and WB comicbook movies and that's it
Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Flash.....most of the general public kinda know something about them but that's really it, they couldn't name one comic book story, could not name one movie with the third DC character, the general public could not name one animated video game because that's the why DC operates, they have used 2 big leaders for their movies, the rest were minor characters or extras
Catwoman or Batman villain's probably got more exposure than Wonder Woman does today

Marvel on the other hand put huge effort into building their minor characters up from the ground before they launched movies like Avengers

DC doesn't have to do that, they've got Batman and Superman to draw people in so they're using their popularity to expose people to other characters.
 
Exactly. The new MS. MARVEL comic is not "marketing religion" to anybody. It's just part of her background, and the comic does a good job of showing that, as with most communities, some Muslims are more religious than others. Trust me, every issue does not end with Ms. Marvel delivering a quote from the Koran or whatever. Most of the time, she's coping with boy problems, and school problems, and family problems, and giant mutant frogs attacking her neighborhood . . . .

Hell, I'm a lifelong atheist and I find the comic charming and often delightful.

And on other fronts: yes, there are a plethora of ongoing BUFFY comics out there. Besides the main BUFFY titles, there have also been spin-off comics and mini-series for Willow, Faith, Angel, Spike, Giles, etc. The Buffy-verse is still going strong at your local comic book shop.
 
Not really. They have Captain Marvel in pre-production.
Ehhhhh kind of. They announced writers for CM back in 2014, but as recently as fall 2015, the writers said that hadn't started penning a draft. Likely why CM was pushed back a second time in favor of Ant-Man and the Wasp. Along with Ant-Man being a surprise hit Marvel wanted to capitalize on.
A solo Black Widow movie would have fit in neatly in the unnecessary Iron Man 3's spot.
:guffaw::rommie:

Spitting hot fire, Skywaler. lol

Extremis did that in the comics.

It's not so bad?

We've been talking about this for so long.

How long till the porn comes out?

But since Wonder Woman has been in actual production for two months now, it is quite accurate to say that Marvel is behind. And getting further behind. Both WW and Captain Marvel had their scheduled release dates announced in October 2014, but WW is still on track for its original release date (6/23/17) while CM's date has been pushed back twice (from 7/6/18 to 11/2/18 to 3/8/19).

Right. The Simpsons shows the title family going to church on Sundays, has them living next door to the very religious Flanders family, and features Rev. Lovejoy as a recurring character, but that doesn't make it a religious polemic. Religion is part of many Americans' lives and communities, but that doesn't make it the only thing that defines them or the only possible subject for a story about them. It's just part of the whole.
 
Kamala captain marvel? that's comic marketed as the muslim Captain Marvel right? DC and Marvel are so stupid these days.
and why add more religion into comics? you would think all the Christian nuts and Jewish nuts and Muslims nuts, with female genital mutilation, sectarian wars and the blood shed in the middle east, Paris attacks, San Bernardino the last thing the world needs is MORE RELIGION...marketing religion at kids even a watered down version is wrong and stupid

Take it easy, there. You can make a point without using such a aggressive tactic.
 
The new footage from the movie looks pretty good. She comes off a bit like a female Captain America in the WWI scenes, but the movie has a natural feel to it.
