Welcome back to the place I first found you! Congratulations!
Looking forward to some new Comics Are Weird pieces sometime in the future!
(Kudos to whomever included some moderation rules to agree to before posting. Good call.)
The rights issue is far more specific than your "cappuccino" example.
In this case, the rights to use of the term "mutants" is relative specifically to Marvel Comics characters in the films based on Marvel Comics properties. Not "mutants" generally.
You're not wrong that any company can...
Growing up in the 90's doesn't dismiss the prior 30+ years of lore from which those cartoons were founded. That's subjective personal exposure, not contextual or objective. Your guarantee is assumptive at best, because you can't know what others have been exposed to or what they know of the...
Likable? Eh, to each their own. Like I said, I can hardly believe people point to him as a reason they liked the film. And how it gelled? I saw it as hammered into a slot of the film that hadn't previous planned to use him. As far as making sense? Wolverine "knows a guy" of whom we've never seen...
You'd have to go back to the original revelation that Magneto was their father in the comics (which took 19 years from the moment they were introduced) to get the full context. To a large degree it existed as a point of shame and manipulation for the characters. That they now reveal it was...
All the properties they have any claim TO make a grab for ARE in need of rescue.
Even the X-men.
(And just because Fox may have a plan, doesn't mean it's good, especially when they don't stick to it in order to be needlessly reactive to what other studios are doing.)
I'm all for Marvel...
The idea that the 616 Daisy is NOT a mutant is just inane.
The wikia reference to the reason why has NO significance. Squaring the circle with explanations like "genetic damage passed on from her father but doesn't have the 'mutant' gene" dismisses the science of mutation. (Keep in mind, that...
Finally saw this tonight... Yep. "Dumb" & "disposable" sums it up alright.
Glad I saw it free from the library... as I have all the previous.
I haven't been particularly impressed with any Transformers done by Bay yet... I don't imagine I ever will be.
Eh... such is... no real loss even if...
Incorrect... Carrie Kelley IS part of New 52 continuity [http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Carrie_Kelley_%28Prime_Earth%29].
Of course DC did what they do: hyped her appearance and failed to follow through by committing to her to this cover...
First of all... Crusher Creel, the Absorbing Man is not a mutant.
That really ends the discussion of any legal worry from Fox.
But let's say you want to explore it further...
*Creel has never appeared in an "X-men" comic (though Peter David DID use him in one issue of X-Factor.)
*Creel...
Well... no... Deadpool looked pretty much the same then as he does now... perhaps more nutty and tweaked in the "Ambush Bug" style of talking to the audience... but not that much has changed over all (given, no one KNEW anything about him then and to be honest, I can't speak much to his current...
"Friday Box Office: Guardians Finally Defeated By Idris Elba and Dolphins"
What does "finally" mean?
Much as I despise the occurrence, the week after it opened GotG was knocked out of the top spot by Turtles. Yes, it got it back but framing last night's BO as "finally defeated" is wholly...
That Iron Man cartoon was also one part synergistic effort to elevate the Force Works comic book (that ended the same time the cartoon did)... not really so much "Avengers," though it was cast out of the remains of the West Coast roster.
However, Unite We Stand was not really any more...
All I can do... is laugh.
I have said often that if New 52 fails badly enough, DC has MORE than shown their willingness to shut down everything and start over. It's just a matter of time... but sadly, I don't really believe THIS is THAT time.
I disagree with such comparison. Obviously...
