Honestly, not all that excited for the majority of the list. Whereā€™s my Freakazoid movie?

Regarding ā€œsuperheroesā€, the good old King James Version says it best:

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things - I Corinthians 13:11

ā€œWith Great power comes great Responsibilityā€

He was originally from the British comic Nutty, then later on featured in the Dandy and the Beano.

I was persuaded that a Supergran remake would be a bad idea (and it would have to be a remake, Gudrun Ure is now older than Supergran was in the series, and the actors who played Inventor Black and Scunner Campbell died years ago). I still think Billy Connolly would be a great Inventor Black though.

There are other British superheroes as well, like Superted.

When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up - C.S. Lewis

Iā€™m guessing you guys have a lot of problems with kids on your lawn? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Thatā€™s what the mines are for. Bounce with Bouncing Betty! Play more with Claymore! And all the variants of the Catch-a-Shrapnel family games!

This begs for a short video, with children playing and having fun, transitioned to a day in the most boring of the boring corporate offices.

Were-house cat? A kitty that turns into a building at full moon?

ā€¦what about a plot twist here? The drug works, Superman recovers, sees the wisdom of higher risk acceptance margins, and now shields Lex Luthorā€™s illicit pharma research from FDA and their ilk?

And the ending is like the scene at the end of Casino, with superman at a desk doing his job as an actuary or risk officer, staring into the camera.

51 SuperHero movies and not one about the hero that we deserve?
He even has his own beer now:
Cheers! ā€˜Florida Manā€™ is now a beer. - Mar. 16, 2015

A double IPA? Pshaw. I canā€™t imagine Florida Man drinking anything but a straight up lager.

ā€œLager? IPA? What is it with you pansy Yankees? I drink BEER!ā€ proclaimed the gentleman from Florida, clad in nought but a controversial flag, moments before being tackled to the ground and cuffed by 5 officers.

Seldom have I seen a gentleman in 5 pairs of handcuffs before. Quite a sight.

But theyā€™re still childish, juvenile, puerile, pick your favourite term.

The only comic book movie I want to see is Lobo and thereā€™s about a zero percent chance of that ever happening, Clyde.

Our only hope is that the envelope gets pushed so far that something like Maus becomes a viable animated project orā€¦ oh gawsh, Sandman, with Gaiman as an integral part of the processā€¦

I can dream canā€™t I?

There was a time I really wanted to see a Preacher adaptation. But now that itā€™s finally happening, I feel its moment of relevance has passed.

Hey, if we ever finish Morrigan, howā€™s about we start The Chronicles of Florida Man? I do believe itā€™d write itself.

:open_mouth: Whaaaaaaaa, how the hell did I miss that? Thought it would be forever lost in development hell. Rogen eh? Hmmm. Whateves, Iā€™m glad itā€™s actually going to see the light of day. Aaand now I wish I hadnā€™t looked at the prices for first editions, bah, sold mine to a guy who was trying to complete a full set so he could sell the lot to help fund his art degree back in the day.

Hehe, ye may jest, sir, about Florida Man but Iā€™ve been thinking extensively about a fantasy movie set in a universe where all of the most insane Republican myths are fact and moreover, right.
The core would be a resurrected, caucasian Jesus fighting libruls for gun freedoms but surely even the son of god would have to bow in awe at the almighty countenance of Florida Man!

That reminds me, got to go and finish up the Morrigan outline. Coffee, here I come!
