Also, that deadpool script excerpt is incredible, and better than anything Way wrote in the year and a half I read his book.
This script is very much influenced by the Joe Kelly comics. Weasel, Blind Al, the Hell House, and the main villain is
Ajax
.
My body is thick with fear, fear that this is just some horrific ploy to get my hopes up waaaaaay too high. Blind Al, fuck yes. Ajax, fuck yes. If "Deadpool: The Movie" turns out any different to how that article describes it, i blame you Furu. Only you.

So, Young Justice has the original Teen Titans? Well, most of them. No one really cares about Aqualad.
Why not just call the show Teen Titans? I want Bart and Tim and Con-El and Cassie. And Secret. Remember Secret? She was awesome. Arrowette was awesome too. And Empress. Red Tornado was great as a mentor figure. Snapper Carr was slightly annoying but made up for it with the Rick Jones references.
Because there was already a Teen Titans show
Also this was originally called Young Justice League because it's not like the TT show that ignored the rest of the DCU. It's an adaptation of the DCU with a focus on the younger characters
Also, pretty much everyone you've said (except for the legacies like Bart and Tim and Cassie) are either announced as showing up or will probably show up
Anyway, I watched the latest No Ordinary Family. It's okay. Nothing special and a little repetitive, but I'll keep watching so long as I get to fast-forward all the boring bits. Or just to make the plot move faster.
There was this scene during the first wedding where the bride came over to talk. Stephanie (the mother) gave her a hug and Jim (the father) put his hand on her arm. While Stephanie let go after a second, Jim kept his hand there for half a minute. It was weird and a little creepy, like he was frozen in that position. They talked about a bunch of stuff. At one point, Jim even turned around to chastise his daughter, all the while keeping his hand glued to that nice lady.
Everyone acted like this was perfectly normal, but she had to physically move away before he let go. She used to be his babysitter!

I noticed with No Ordinary Family that the story kind of just comes to a halt when you deal with the kids, primarily the daughter and her mind reading powers. They're got to find a way to fix that because it really brings the whole thing down.
Granted I was trailing in and out with the show on in the background, but it wasn't as impressive as the first two episodes.

It's not that bad, actually; once you get over the initial shock. It's just different. Apparently the Japanese believe every bad boy archetype in American literature can be replaced by the generic "delinquent" look. Hence the young, smooth-shaven punk instead of a hairy Canadian. I still like it better than Greg Land's collage of statues.
And it's written by Ellis, so you know that the characters won't suddenly start-
You know, I tried thinking of anime tropes to finish that sentence - like "suddenly start transforming" or "suddenly be in highschool" or "suddenly turn into ninjas" - but all those things have happened in the X-books.
I was actually referring to the casual use of a racial slur.
The Wolverine anime looks to be based on the manga, which I actually did read, and was.. a thing. It pretty much had nothing to do with Wolverine as we know him, but it wasn't horrible on its own merits.

Warren Ellis wrote this today:
There is a small, snivelling and flinching part of me that would rather not have his name inextricably linked with The Last Comic Book Movie Flop Of 2010. But, you know, I am today pretty much at peace with the whole thing. I’ve met fine people and I’ve learned many useful things, and that is the most you can ask of any walk.
I actually want to see RED, and don't think it will flop. Speaking with my parents this weekend they are wanting to see it as well, and it seems to be reaching those older people who still want to show that they can beat younger generations at stuff.
I think Robos or someone here saw a screening and said it wasn't that great, but still, John Malkovich. I'm hopeful.
I just finished watching both seasons of the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon.
At first I brushed it off, not liking the simplistic look for Peter and other characters, and being an overall Ultimate Spidey snob. But midway through, I got into it. The level of continuity reminded me of Weisman's work on Gargoyles, and I enjoyed how the characters steadily evolved from their first appearances (even Flash).
Also, the battles were really well done, but the Venom battles were just brutal. I found Eddie's motivation to become Venom a bit forced, as the circumstances in the cartoon didn't really justify his 180 from older brother to stalker psychopath, but the end result was terrific stuff.
So yeah, count me as part of the group saddened that the show got its plug pulled. Also, I'll be wondering for a long while if Weisman would have ever gotten approval to kill off Captain Stacy (and eventually Gwen). His statement about how Young Justice would feature major deaths has me curious about this.

Well said, sir. Felt pretty much the same when the show ended. I like that they kept the 'Parker Luck' through the whole series and even ended on a low for Peter, it felt right.
Checked in with Bleeding Cool one last time before I get some sleep, only to see---
That big Marvel live action project that Loeb has been talking about since his promotion? The one that is going to start a new era for live action comic shows?
Thoughts? I love the 70s TV hulk, having seen much of it via Sci-Fi Channel marathons when I was in high school. But one has to wonder, with Loeb involved...
That Wolverine anime poster looks cool in the way that well drawn anime can look pretty cool but I still much prefer western animation to Japanese stuff. Not something I'm interested in unless it turns out to be stupendously awesome or something, which I doubt.

I think any attempt at a Hulk TV show will be kind of crummy, just because they'll never have the budget to do it right.
Which means they can go one of two routes: Bruce Banner travels the country, occasionally gets into scrapes where he gains superstrength while his eyes turn green, and then the camera cuts away/obscures him as he turns into the Hulk and smashes dudes. Basically, Hulk would be the smoke monster from Lost. You never really get a good look at him, just an implication of what he is.
or
They just straight up paint a dude green, again. Which I have to think modern TV watchers would find hokey and reject, just because of how accustomed they've become to modern special effects. That said, muscular guys are a lot bigger and scarier than Lou Ferigno nowadays, so maybe it could work.
That first approach doesn't sound too bad, actually. It'd be a different take on the mythos, but making full transformations rare and devastating would amp up the tension. Also, it'd make the sense of dread Banner develops whenever he gets angry a bit more powerful.
I mean, let's face it. Nobody really understand why Banner is afraid to turn into the Hulk, as the Hulk generally only manifests when his life is in danger and rarely, if ever, hurts anyone who doesn't deserve it. If there's an element of risk involved with every transformation, though, then suddenly Banner can genuinely feel conflicted between saving his own skin and keeping the people around him safe.
the problem with the first route, though, munch is
everyone knows what the Hulk looks like
Not in the show world, but in the viewing audience.
Compound this with the fact that people are dumb and you'll have people getting really pissed really quick that the Hulk show doesn't feature any Hulks
My idea: Bruce Banner is the Hulk, who gets sent into space on a rocket for being too dangerous. I think you know where this is going.
Planet Hulk was the most advacement Banner and the Hulk had as characters for a long, long time, and people already know about the Hulk at his deal. They should just chuck him into space, would be awesome crazy sci-fi action with all the aliens from the book, and it would be great from a good writer and CGI team who made it look cool and not totally hokey and shit.

They are all indeed real.

everyone knows what the Hulk looks like
Not in the show world, but in the viewing audience.
Compound this with the fact that people are dumb and you'll have people getting really pissed really quick that the Hulk show doesn't feature any Hulks
An audience full of Ian Malcolms
Aliens put lots of dangerous stuff on different places around the world.
Hulk then travels around and smashes the dangerous stuff.
Planet Hulk was the most advacement Banner and the Hulk had as characters for a long, long time, and people already know about the Hulk at his deal. They should just chuck him into space, would be awesome crazy sci-fi action with all the aliens from the book, and it would be great from a good writer and CGI team who made it look cool and not totally hokey and shit.
Probably a lot. It would be awesome though.
But does he smash stuff?
That is the core element to the story.

Cloak & Dagger on ABC Family just sounds like it will be preachy.
