    Avengers West Coast? Dane was in that, right?

    He was in the main Avengers book for a few years until the team fell apart and disbanded, and he ended up turning to metal or something when Namor invoked his sword's curse by killing Marina (who was a Leviathan wrecking ships left and right) with it. He came back later and rejoined the team, but I don't think he was ever in the west coast team.

    So that's how we're playing it?

    Sophie Turner as Emma Frost

    You'd still want to cast an actor who can act.

    I can’t remember who it was but I feel like someone is in danger of eating some article of clothing, possibly a hat?

    I'm not terribly surprised, it's been in the works for a long minute, and with Good Omens finally hitting it was eventually bound to follow

    The deal I made was for a movie, not a series, so I'm in the clear

    Also it was a shoe

  • UnbrokenEvaUnbrokenEva HIGH ON THE WIRE BUT I WON'T TRIP ITRegistered User regular
    I feel like it being a series just means there’s even more Sandman, so now you should eat both shoes

  • ElderlycrawfishElderlycrawfish Registered User regular
    Eat a shoe for every episode. Can't go wrong with sole food.

    Black Knight feels like someone at Disney was tasked with flipping through a Marvel Compendium to find a character that hit just the right part of the venn diagram between "Cool" and "Enough of a blank canvas that we can do what we want with" while watching the last season of GoT.

    That said, I actually totally get it and think Black Knight will be a good add to the MCU.

    I'm oddly annoyed that they're just adapting the comics. Sandman is so much a comic book that the best way to make a TV series would be to do it with an original story that takes more advantage of the medium.

    Black Knight is badass and I forget where I read it but I had a comic with a like, back-up story in the back about him and it ruled.

    And he was great in Captain Britain.

    ...give me Captain Britain next!

    I mean, I think adapting the comic books can be read in a lot of different ways. I doubt they're gonna try and shot for shot it, and I would be surprised if there aren't new original stories that are folded in to the whole thing.

    I am not sure I can trust that Sandman will translate well to a show.

    But I bet the intro to each episode will be amazing Dave McKean bullshit and I will be stoked for that

    I wouldn't be surprised if they give it the American Gods approach, where they keep the overall plotlines but adjust characters and stories, adding and cutting to make a better-for-TV version.

    He was on the short lived late 90s Heroes for Hire which quietly has one of my favorite team line-ups ever

    Iron Fist
    Luke Cage
    White Tiger
    Black Knight
    Hercules
    Ant-Man (Scott Lang)
    She-Hulk
    Thena, of the Eternals

    With golden age Human Torch as the team's financial backer/mission control

    In the 90s there was this whole story where Namor founded a company designed to make the world better using riches he found in a shipwreck

    Torch was working with him

    Although as far as the Maverl/DC copying of superhero/villain powers and their characters are concerned, Clayface is the better of the two.

    wait i am confused, I thought this was already known? Or something? I swear like a month ago we were talking about this and how you would do the first season. I even remember posting that you could do the first trade as the first season, and Gaiman tweeted something similar??????

    So the Sandman show is absolutely going to cross over with Lucifer since Netflix owns that show now as well right?

  • Grey GhostGrey Ghost Registered User regular
    I would be tremendously disappointed if a Sandman adaptation used that lame pretender Lucifer

    For real though. Why are people talking about a DC show in the Marvel thread?

    because if a thread falls off the front page everyone forgets it exists, which means the most popular comic book company thread becomes the de facto comic book thread
