[OOC] The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

[Gowi]

Vandal is at his best when he doesn't seem as powerful as he is. Vandal's character is his brain not his immortality.

[Kingfisher]

I'm a DC fanboy all the way, but IMO Marvel are leauges ahead of DC in terms of small screen adaptations. I enjoyed Daredevil and Jessica Jones a hell of a lot more than Arrow. My interest in Arrow faded after the stuff with the Leauge of Shadows.

[Gowi]

Marvel are leauges ahead of DC in terms of small screen adaptations.

No disagreement. DC's always won on the cartoon adaptions front with Marvel doing live action significantly better. I'm hoping Dawn of Justice evens the playing field some, but you know how it goes.

[Eddie Brock]

I have a weird relationship with Laurel Lance where because I know what she's supposed to be, I feel sorry for the butchery the writers have made of her. So outside of her terrible S2 arcs, I'm pretty much always rooting for her to succeed. It's like "Bless your heart" syndrome.

[Kingfisher]

@Gowi Suicide Squad has me a lot more hyped than Dawn of Justice, but I'm still eagerly awaiting Batman VS Superman.

[Gowi]

Suicide Squad doesn't have the fate of DC Cinematic Universe in its hands, but it does look like a lot more fun albeit a bit of a retread of the animated movie of similar premise. I'm looking forward to see how both do.

I'm dissaspointed in all of you. Apparently for 18 days my CS of Steve's was sitting there as Steve RODEGRS. roDgers. And none of you said a word.

Anyways. I fixed it so it is now Rogers. Like normal.

Also, BvS looks like it'll be good. Not as good as what Marvel is doing, but good nonetheless.

@Gowi

I don't disagree exactly, but as far as I'm concerned Vandal needs to be the guy who's gone everywhere and done everything. He's the guy who rips his enemies apart and eats their flesh.
Basically I'm trying to say that he needs to have very very strong presence whenever he's in a scene. This one...doesn't. He's just not memorable to me, and in a series with other strong characters...it's kind of a problem.

@Eddie Brock

That was my thinking UNTIL season 2. Now she's somewhat better but needs a lot more work before I genuinely care about that character.

@Blue Demon

I wanted to see how long it'd take for you to realize. It was a big in-joke, we were all in on it.

@Blue Demon

Once I realized that no one was reading my posts I stole a batman villain and put a character in BDSM gear. You'd be surprised what goes unnoticed.

[Blue Demon]

@KingfisherI noticed. I was just doing my research on your character to see if any of it was in character.

@Blue Demon

She's horribly disfigured, and her outfit looks like a gimp suit. I used my imagination to put the pieces together.

[Blue Demon]

@KingfisherI see.

Because all my research came to naught. I got things like:

Batman looks hella buff and stalky! Like a freakin Baby Bear ...
Do you think Batman smells hella bad? - Batman: Arkham ...

@Blue Demon to me it looks like DC is going "Right we need a Cinematic Universe STAT, we need to get the Justice League A.S.A.P..." -launches one movie- "Now, lets do a second movie and USE ALL THE CHARACTERS!" "But sir, should we not introduce any of them first?""No, it'll be fine."

Yes we don't need an origin story for all these characters but it would have been nice to see where they fit into this Cinematic Universe before they all got thrown together.

I have also said it once, and will say it again. I don't like the tone they're going with in the fact they seem to be going for darker adaptations. While certain characters deserve a darker movie (such as Batman) I think at heart comic book movies should be fun.

[Gowi]

"Right we need a Cinematic Universe STAT, we need to get the Justice League A.S.A.P..."

No duh?

@Gowi

What I mean is, yes that's a good goal. Though did they need to rush it? They would still have made money if they took their time.

[Gowi]

They would still have made money if they took their time.

While yes, they would have but they cannot allow the market be unchallenged. They need to define competition so they can make more money than they would if they took their time.

Hell, if the first JLA movie had happened it would've been right around the first Avengers movie's time (maybe before) if I recall correctly... but Nolan wasn't playing ball and other factors made the project die out.

She's a Nightwing Villain.

She's real, I promise.

@Gowi

DC don't need the Justice League to compete. Characters like Superman (Through an unfiltered lens preferably), Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman and I suppoooose Aquaman could have made money on their own. Even if they released the films within a year or so (Which is possible for big studio films such as WB) to bring the Justice League about faster, it would have been better than shoehorning as many people in to one movie as possible without any explanation.

We went into the first Avengers, and comic background or no. You knew exactly who Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and Hulk were. If you were paying attention you even knew Widow and Hawkeye.

[Gowi]

DC don't need the Justice League to compete.

I don't think I agree nor does WB.
