For goodness sake people, will you stop saying that a successful Zelda movie is impossible? It's not. The only other movie Nintendo made is Super Mario Bros, and it failed because of reasons that don't apply to Zelda. Namely that the Mario game's plot is only the bare bones of what makes a plot. People rag on the Mario movie because it was unfaithful to the source material. As a movie, it would have been worse if it actually was faithful. Zelda games have very structured plots with dense mythology and character development. It can work as a movie.
Also, if there ever is a Zelda movie, Link must talk in it.
The only reason Link is mute in the games, is that Nintendo is using a technique to make the player consider Link an extension of their own being. Since in movies that doesn't work, Link has no solid reason to be mute. Link talks in the Manga and people have no problem with that. Link talks in the old cartoons and some people like the cartoons. The people who hate the cartoons don't do so because Link talks, they do so because in the Cartoons Link is a horn-dog egotist who frequently spouts a dumb catchphrase.

Wow, I wasn't aware that Simpsons would be crossing over with Futurama, and also Family Guy.
I'd be down for a Flash movie; why the heck not.

About Wonder Woman: Have you seen anything from that Wonder Woman TV series they canceled at the last minute? Yeah, even they don't know what to do with their own character. So they just threw, Batman, Iron Man, and Superman at a screen and hoped it made Wonder Woman.
Anyway, cautiously optimistic for Flash. He's one of the most powerful DC heroes, so he could make a good action packed movie. Not sure who could threaten him, though. His speed makes him like a step down from Supes in that regard to me.
Robocop... No comment.
Godzilla. Honestly, I'd almost rather have a cheap Toho movie. They are awesomely stupid and fun.
As for Marvel, they had Loki onstage. Almost just because they could and they knew he would go over well. Why didn't that even get a mention, Bob?
Marvel is winning so hard, right now. And it gives me hope for Star Wars. Maybe that's wrong, but it does. Also, I figured they would hold off on the big guns for Avengers 2.

kinda drunk. took a few notes on this bob.
marvel needed to make thor before captain america. let DC take a few slightly less expensive steps before they jump into a green lantern type disaster again. flash will probably not set the world on fire, but they need everyone to be established for JL to work. you know wonder woman is in the works, just be patient.
leave zelda alone. zelda is perfectly fine, just the way it is and needs no hollywood influence. for the general gamer subconscious zelda is a cornerstone, but for the mass public it is just the general shapes and sounds of video games. it will have so much executive meddling that it will bear no resemblance to what we love about the series. the story of
The Legend of Zelda" is timeless, it can be told in much better ways if not tied to a franchise.
super excited about ultron. really can't wait

On the other hand, it looks like the actual setting for Robocop now... so maybe we'll get him in a different form than a movie...DVS BSTrD said:
That was a surprise as well, considering that the Dredd reboot took the exact opposite approach.chimpzy said:
Personally, I think Robocop could only work as an anime-style reboot, where he's moves less like those Honda androids and more like the antagonist in Terminator 3. There's just something not very threatening about a robot you can defeat by running around a corner and walking the way home...
Also, they've got to do something about that armor. It looked bad in 1995. It's hideous now.
The ultimate irony? They wouldn't have to do much writing for this. They literally could just take the episodes that deal with blight, give them a cyberpunk live version, and call it good. Hell, they could even just use the Zod spandex suit from Man of Steel, switch out the logo, add a good and paint it black with red lightlights. Use some no-name young wannabe from a cable show and find a semi-ripped old guy and you've pretty much gotten everything short of the camera work and special effects done on the cheep.Realitycrash said:
Hell, you could get Clint Eastwood to play old Bruce Wayne. How awesome would that be?
Flash getting a new movie before Wonder Woman is kinda bullshit. Like come on she's the most iconic female super hero next to I dunno, fuck who else is there as well known as her? Supergirl? pfft. Make a damn Wonder Woman movie dc god damn is it so hard.
Ultron being the bad guy in Avengers 2 seems odd, figured Thanos was gonna be set up in Guardians then carried through in to Avengers 2. Oh well that's still awesome, Ultron is a fun villain though not exactly the most original concept.

Live Action?TakerFoxx said:
I'll go check I guess. The internet does exist.
Edit: no no. I mean live action.
Dont diss flash, flash is amazing.
And godzila has A LOT to live up to now that Pacific Rim was awesome.
Ah, spiderman, the only highly liked superhero that still havent had a good real life movie. and looks like it wont.
but i agree this is a very interesting time in history to live in.
the onyl redeeming factor is the backstory, at least you get to see some tied up people.
