The List: 10 Things Marvel Should Do To Make Another MCU Hulk Film

Posted on October 6, 2016 | 7 comments

So, the big green guy hasn’t had the best career on the big screen has he. The 2003 film was, let’s be charitable and say not good, and the MCU reboot of the character has been pretty solid so far, if you ignore the fact that his solo movie had a completely different lead actor to the guy who is playing Hulk now and the film is pretty much forgotten otherwise. However, it is unlikely that there won’t be another Hulk film at some point, the character is too popular and everyone is pretty much in agreement that Mark Ruffalo is a perfect fit for Bruce Banner, so how should they do it? Well, here are a few ideas. I’m not going to try to write the whole movie this time, I’ve just got the outlines of two ways it could go.

Here are my top 5:

The Atomic Punk: Can I borrow your hat?

Calvary Red: Hey, are you going to be the Fantastic Four sequel?

Katmir: Haha, brain freeze! I told you to start with Brazil, but Nooooo…!

Worf: Duuuude! That fart! Are you turning into a big ball of gas again????

John Bakke: So I was thinking along the lines of “The Chrome Wakeboarder”. But then I was told that might get me in trouble for copyright infringement. Anyways I billed a shipment of metallic spray paint to your credit card. Also, you owe me five new spare suits… When do I start?

And the winner is….

Artist’s Foibles with Herr D- The Faux Fugitive

Posted on October 4, 2016 | 3 comments

Hey guys, JR here. Sorry, no Top 10 List today. I’ve been very busy and haven’t had a chance to put one together yet. There may be one later on in the week, but I’m not promising anything. To make up for this, we’re going to try something new (I say that a lot) and have a guest post by long-time community member Herr D. Let us know in the comments if you want stuff like this to continue and I’ll endeavour to bring more of these posts as regularly as possible. But now I’ll leave you in the capable tentacles of Herr D.

Poll Position: Greatest Star Wars Character

Posted on September 30, 2016 | 5 comments

Ok, guys, going to try something a bit different this week. I’m looking for ways to make my Tuesday List series a bit more interactive, so what I’m going to try out is bringing back the Poll Position series and have you guys vote on a category I’m planning to do in the future. I’ve included 20 answers already (the main characters throughout the entire Star Wars series) and I’ve left an option open for you guys to add your own answers. You can vote for as many as you like and I’ll take the 10 characters with the highest votes and use that as the basis for the list in 2 weeks time.

[polldaddy poll=”9537597″]

To clarify, I’ve separated characters that are played by different actors between trilogies (Yoda doesn’t count here as he’s a puppet/ CGI).

The List: Top 10 Stan Lee Marvel Movie Cameos

Posted on September 27, 2016 | 2 comments

We all know who Stan Lee is right? He’s that guy who is executive producer for pretty much all Marvel’s movies and who can’t stop inserting himself into the film with random cameos. Oh and he might have written some comics once.

But considering his fame as a Marvel Movie Where’s Waldo, we might as well take some time to count down his greatest achievements in the realm of the silver screen. Here’s my list of Stan Lee’s top 10 greatest cinematic performances…. or just the best cameos he makes in Marvel movies. The first one sounds better though.

How they should write: A DCEU Batman Solo Film

Posted on September 15, 2016 | 16 comments

Ok guys, going to try something new today.

Ever since it was announced that the follow up to Man Of Steel would feature Batman, people have been wanting to see another solo film for the caped crusader. The character has now appeared in 2 out of the 3 DCEU films so far and is set to appear in a third when Justice League hits the screens next year. That means that, at that point, all of DC’s trinity (Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman) will have appeared in 3 films each, but Batman will have been the only one to have not had a solo film. Obviously that will change, Batman is too marketable, and there’s apparently already plans for a solo Batman film featuring Deathstroke as the main bad guy. But considering how well received the DCEU has been so far, this could be a very important film for Warner Bros. If Wonder Woman and Justice League aren’t well received, a Batman film could be the last shot for the DCEU, considering that Batman films always do very well at the box office and the fact that Ben Affleck has so far been the most universally praised aspect of the DCEU meaning it has the best shot at revitalising the franchise if the next two films don’t go down well.

So how should they write it? What story should they go with? Well, here’s my take. It’s most likely not going to be anything like what they do, but I feel this would be the best way to do it.

The List: Top 10 Worst Spider-Man Storylines

Posted on September 13, 2016 | 9 comments

So, Spider-Man. Peter Parker has been webslinging since 1962 and he’s had quite the time of it over those 54 years. He has lost his entire family (pretty much), got married, died, been resurrected, been cloned, gone to space numerous times, been body-swapped and accrued a gallery of enemies second only to Batman and a gallery of titles that number in the “too many”. He’s been involved in some great storylines against some of the greatest villains in comic book history and has been the face of Marvel since his inception. But he’s also the guy who seems to get a lot of Marvels less well thought out ideas. So here’s the list, the Top 10 Worst Spider-Man storylines.

Warning: Opinions below. And bad Spider-Man storylines, which is even worse than the opinions. Do not read if sensitive.
