I actually want that, but taken far more seriously, and without the campyness.Palindromemordnilap said:See, you always bring up these same examples when you try to describe what you want...but those examples are always grand and bombastic affairs that absolutely accept the silliness of the medium and just run with it. It turns a band of heroes fighting a telepathic gorilla armed with a magic ring that makes shapes of light into an epic clash written the same as you would the Olympians against the Titans. And that sounds like exactly like what Aquaman is going for so why are you not a fan?Samtemdo8 said:But I am mostly thinking of this when I say bring DC back to the 20th Century. Not the Silver Age, The Golden Age, or at least the look and feel of the Golden Age.

Yeah to be honest though I like it for its "classicalness" I am more of a Jim Lee/Ed Benes type of Art Style for Comic Book Superheroes, at least more modern depictions of them.Xsjadoblayde said:Will probably watch The Hunky Merman when it's out on DVD and am high. That's not meant to be an insult towards the movie, it's just usually how I consume superhero films or action flicks in general. It's nice when things turn out alright and are liked by people, gives a more positive vibe in an often negative space. More people should like things!

Jeebus! That is gaudy as hell, people honestly find that aesthetically pleasing??
A quick sneaky google on that does show more harmonious artstyles with attractive use of colour and shading. It seems that those translations to real life examples are probably contributing most to the gaudy look there.Samtemdo8 said:
The same Kingdom Come that features Batman commenting "So thats what thats like" when Superman pulls a stealth exit on him? The same Kingdom Come that has the Spectre, the Wrath of God himself, complaining about how the menu option named after him in a superhero restaurant is a spinach and cheese salad? The same Kingdom Come that is a savage deconstruction of the kind of grim grittyness that Waid and Ross disliked the rise of in comics?Samtemdo8 said:
That joke along with the others was done with far more class and subtlety, then a guy literally sticking his head in a toilet to breath the toilet water.Palindromemordnilap said:
How can they do kingdom come before they do all the legwork of setting up the heroes in the first place? That'd be like if they did the Death of Superman before giving us one that would sadden us if he died in the first place (thankfully we Don't live in that kind of world).Samtemdo8 said:
I didn't say "Do a Kingdom Come movie" I said "make your DC movies like Kingdom Come in look and tone"jademunky said:
Only two of those stories are actually any good, Alex is a better artist than a writer. But this has been pointed out to you before but you always ignore it, Kingdom Come is literally about not becoming grimdark and edgy, you know the two things you love for some reason.Samtemdo8 said:
And clearly you guys are not seeing that I have since more or less changed my ways. Heck I am asking for DC movies to be more like these works I suggested.Kenbo Slice said:
Honestly I remember reading that book and it barely mocked the 90s edgeness at all.jademunky said:
The overmuscled visual design of Magog was supposed to be based on Cable......except with horns.Samtemdo8 said:
