I want a "Civil War" movie/series

However, the video brought this thought into my mind.

If fans who want a more cohesive marvel movie universe were to Boycott the next spiderman, Xmen, fantastic 4, daredevil, etc movies in such a way that they fail so hard, is it possible that their respective studios would sell back the rights? What are your thoughts?

Ah yes, because no matter how good the non-Marvel-universe movies are, the studios who own the rights to them suck, and should sell them back to Marvel, who have barely any other characters they could put into their movies... /sarcasm

well the cut version of dd did suck
as did elektra
as did the first punisher
as did both ff movies
x-men 3
spiderman 3
wolverine (im sorry it just was)

The track records not great, now not all marvel produced ones are amazing, but their all at the very least entertaining.

I'm not saying they're good. I'm not saying they're bad.* Simply sighing at the logic that only characters that have previously had their own films should be used for the movie universe.
Besides, the most recent X-Men was excellent, and the new Spiderman film could go either way.

*Outside of my point, I agree. These movies sucked so much ass. Especially Wolverine: Origins. What a crap-hole of a movie.

I don't. Civil War was horrible and I want to forget about it.

There hasn't been a single good non canon film. All the X Mens, Fantastic 4s, both Ghost Riders, Daredevil, and Electra were just awful.

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say. If you think Spiderman 1 & 2, as well as X-Men: First Class, were bad, well...

Anyway, read the conversation above you.

 

[Kinokohatake]

Yeah I read the convo after I posted (bad habit really). But yes the Spider-Man movies were just bad. Except Doc Oc. He was the only good thing from those films. And First Class is only a smidge better than X3.

Huh? I was thinking this thread was gonna be either about confederates/unionists or roundheads/cavaliers. You live and learn.

Why would you want to ever see anything having to do with Civil War again? It was awful. Purely awful. Characters acting nothing like themselves just to be shoehorned into a rather weak plot, sweeping changes made to the universe that really didn't need to happen, and Captain America being told he is "out of touch" because he's too busy *SAVING THE WORLD* to care about NASCAR.

The only way I'd want to see Civil War on the big screen is if they spent two hours tossing that pap into an industrial shredder. Following that by tossing Bendis himself into the shredder is optional, but encouraged.

As a film First Class is leagues ahead of X-3. The first and second X-Men were, I thought, actually a damn good cinematic variation on the characters. They never really felt like the Marvel universe, but they were a decent start. Some of the character scenes between Wolverine and Rogue are great, primarily because of the script and actors. Great film versions of the actual characters? Not so much.

Oh, and whilst we're on the X films... Getting my favourite actress to play my favourite character, and then putting her in X-3? I am disappoint (Joss Whedon damn well needs to write/direct Ellen Page in X-Men Origins: Shadowcat).

Everyone can surely agree on Wolverine being nothing short of a noisy, messy, braindead, weird disaster.

Civil War: you have the three big Marvel 'verses, and you have 21stC Fox and Disney/Marvel. Now that they've started the Cinematic 'verse, the chance of a Civil War film is barely a potential could-be maybe. I'm not fussed about it. The Avengers has started something pretty awesome, so I'm more than content to see where that goes.

Why not have both? Steampunk Iron Man Ulysses S. Grant vs. Captain Confederate America Robert E. Lee? I'd watch it.

OT: I guess they could go that way in the end. I dunno. The problem is, you'd just keep upping the ante on the movies. I'm not sure whether, say, Iron Man 3 is going to be a bit underwhelming with Stark by himself again after he became a part of an awesome super-powered team in Avengers Assemble.

As much fun as it would be the idea simply does not translate to anything short of a miniseries and that is a lot of money for a producer to put on the line when there is such a specific viewership. Chances are it would not pay off so nobody will ever make it.
