So Marvel is going for 60s/70s/80s while DC is doing the 90s on film now?
 

So while Marvel is going for the silver/bronze age of comics, DC seems set to go for the Dark Age of comics?

They do remember what happened to all that right?

One of my friends said "Do you remember the Dark Ages of the 1990s in comics? the era where they were imitating Alan Moore, Frank Miller, Heavy Metal Magazine etc. and took the wrong lessons? do you agree it was a rotting corpse that was killed and buried for a reason and that studios are trying to move away from that era and was poisonous tripe that nearly killed the comic industry?".

Well answer his question? on how DC movies is taking the wrong lessons from Nolan as the same was to the 90s comics were to Frank Miller, Heavy Metal Magazine and Alan Moore?

You are incorrect.

I got a better question: Like why the heck does this thread exist?

Because some comic fans have compared Marvel movies to the 60s/70s/80s eras of comics and DC movies to the 90s dark age of comics.

You do remember the so-called "Dark age" of comics of the 90s eh?

Marvel wishes it could be that age again. That's when they had something called a f*cking imagination.

The movies are mainly toothless rehashes of 2000s era books

Can I add something to that, Leo?
OP, you're an idiot.

Yeah, They've done Civil War, Extremis, Winter Soldier, and Janet's daughter is the Wasp. Not to mention all they borrow from the Ultimate universe.

In that instance, they were borrowing from MC2, which was kept chiefly afloat in the 2000s by the Spider-Girl title (though one major difference is that Hope is a villain in that universe)

And would you compare DC to the 90s comic books?

You don't remember the much loathed "Dark age" of comics of the 90s Leo?

Im not really understanding youre question

Well well. Looks like I haven't missed anything interesting on the 'Drome for Christmas holiday.

Jake, you know we get along so I'm just trying to be polite while others aren't going to bother.

I'm following the production of the DC films more closely than anyone on this board probably is. In brief, your assumptions about what they're building off of and what they're building towards are incorrect. I don't really have any more energy to devote to it than that. You're simply incorrect.

JakeSully encouraged me to kill myself.
I need a hug, Cylon. (Yet again.)

Really? I missed that!? Where? I need more drama in my life.

I don't do hugs right now... gave out too many at Christmas, now I'm operating under a deficit. Need some stimulus to get my hug-bank running again.

Nobody should give you hugs you little edgy punk.

It's okay, Jake. Old people need hugs, too. Don't let the orneriness sully your reputation.

No ****ing way, he needs a good slap in the head

They'll put you in prison for child abuse, old-timer. The times they are a-changing. No more caning either.

Cylon, will you please be my new daddy?

Im sure you 2 are both fans of the dark age of comics from the 1990s. That poisonous tripe was killed and buried for a good reason, the WB executives should not try to resurrect or dig up that rotting corpse.

You should try out new things. This gimmick is getting boring.

*hits him with cane

Read your dark age of comics stuff

The only comic I read is Deadpool and I haven't bought one in quite some time.
Watch out, m8. You're going to end up breaking that cane of yours.

Rotting corpse? Funny coming from an ancient bag o' bones like yourself, Great-Great-Gramps. Is life boring in the old folks home? :twink:

I'm positive that Jake is a child molester. Is that allowed here?

OMG! I am now rolling on the floor in laughter. Although also considering curling up in the fetal position and sobbing.

I used to make lots of threads. Then I stopped when I realized most of my threads were worthless. Once I stopped making worthless threads, my popularity immediately skyrocketed and has never since diminished, even though I treat most people as though they're beneath even my contempt. It's interesting; it's like people are eager and willing to overlook all the character flaws and sociopathic behavior, so long as I'm not deliberately wasting anyone's time.

Just thinking out loud.

I think people who make valid points with a scathing sense of warped humor will always be appreciated.

Those of us who wield truth like a clown-faced bimbo in a red-and-black corset while swinging Louisville Slugger wrapped in razor wire? My absolute FAVORITE.

This place blows ass and your all ignorant stupid morons

Now I'll have you know that at best only most of those things are true.

Go yiff yourself.

Hey Leo, help me out it's just that i don't like ignorant young punks who don't like their elders and talks back badly to them as they should show us respect.

And i just assume with his edgy attitude he must be a fan of those grimdark 90s comics, remember those Leo?

Speaking of yiff, im sure you know that TMNT is popular with one of the fandoms i am in.

Go "tentacle" yourself! (It's an Otaku joke since some people in the 90s thought anime was all tentacle demon porn).

I don't think my help is required, you seem to be doing great. You know me, anything I say will just make things worse.

Im sure he will grow out of his edgy dark phase and be mature in a few years.

Yeah but I like him this way. I finally got everything in here just how I like it, but people keep poking things.

What's your obsession? And what's with the post spree? You good bro?

I think the curtains suck. Just saying.

I shall fashion a noose from these curtains and set you hanging from the swing set out back as a warning to all the other children, you say one more goddamn word about 'em.
