Spawn. The ultimate teen edgelord fantasy.
He'll lost any interest in Ghost Rider and will keep the belief alive that comic movies are good.
Then his dad (estranged from my sister, and utterly uninterested in superheroes) showed it him the next time he visited him. My nephew's interest in superhero movies dwindled to next to nothing overnight.
"How bad was it?"
"Nic Cage Ghost Rider bad."
"Ouch."
In this case, they learned that greedy idiots will destroy everything you love.
It's a useful lesson.
The movie was bad, but this character is super cool.
Also, the newest iteration is good, but he needs to ditch the car and get a bike. It's Ghost Rider, not Ghost Driver. They're the motorcycle-riding superhero. It's their whole thing.
I was not aware of this. And don't understand it. It's not like motorcycles are some fad or some really dated thing, like having a superhero whose trademark was riding around on their roller skates or BMX bike (no offense to people into those things; I'm just talking about it becoming this marketing thing a decades ago). It's a motorcycle.
Is it a overly cautious safety thing? Motorcycles aren't exactly the safest thing to ride. But then again, making pacts with Satan are probably something you'll want to have a talk with your child about first.
It's because he's a Hispanic teen in east-side LA, and they wanted to play to the urban youth culture of stereotype stereotype stereotype...
Robbie Reyes' narrative is good, but the car thing just feels like a ham-handed and unnecessary change. Like when DC took away Wonder Woman's powers and made her a bad-ass normal in the late 60's because they somehow got it in their heads that depowering a female character was actually empowering.
:question:
I will not stand idly by hearing this slander of Mumen Rider.
Sure, why not
Have it playing over the credits like in the 90s when films seemed to do that
And since I'm here:
Basically I want Slade to get his own movie where he deals out cowboy vengeance and Sam Elliot narrates the whole thing
Do a search on Youtube for Mitchell & Webb Angel Summoner
Motorcycles are becoming a bit of a dated thing. The median age of riders has been trending upwards and Harley Davidson, the most iconic motorcycle brand in the US, is heavily associated with boomers. Motorcycles are no longer really the rebellious or edgy icon they once were.

I don't disagree with you, per se. But I'd wonder how much you think the median age has been going up? I ask because the median age for the entire US population has been trending upwards.

That's a factor for sure but there's also been a lack of adoption of motor cycles in the younger generation. The whole auto industry has been dinged by that a bit buy motorcycles have been hit harder. The average Harley-Davidson buyer is a man in his 50s now. There are years of analysis into the industry's decline and shift such as this. That's not to say there isn't interest in them for the younger generation, but that's different from actually buying them (and also different from buying them new) and the style of bikes favored is different. Lighter and sportier bikes are more in favor compared to the heavy cruisers that make up the Harley lineup and Ghost Rider's leather clad design is very much built around the image of a Harley riding biker.

Ghost Rider but on another ghost

I feel like at least one of the backstory horse-riding Ghost Riders must've had a ghost horse, surely.
Man, I had Spawn action* figures (including one with a giant motorcycle) and never even read the comics or watched the movie, I just thought they looked cool. The design alone was irresistible to an edgy teen boy, because teen boys are idiots.
*these were Mcfarlane toys, so more like a statuette with an articulated head, not a lot of action involved
Edit: I just remembered I had an action* figure of The Crow as well, another movie I had not actually seen at the time. I was into Marilyn Manson though and probably just thought "Eh, close enough".
If Knight Rider can ride a car, I'm not going to argue with the immortal Spirit of Vengeance.
The spirit possesses both the rider and their mount...
Regardless of what that happens to be.
