Re: What's new with the big two: Marvel and DC Comics discussion thread.

I've been considering doing stories about Willy Watson who becomes Captain Miracle by shouting a magic word. Giving full credit to Parker and Beck. But basically using the character that DC isn't using anymore.

The effects people deliberately were inconsistent with Kong's size back in the original. Basically, his size was determined by what was needed for the shot. Keep in mind that to make him visible in comparison to the Empire State Building, they still had to jack up his height.

Re: What's new with the big two: Marvel and DC Comics discussion thread.

But that's just it. They did change Light's personality. Someone wanted to explain why Doctor Light went from being one of the League's most feared opponents (as described in JLA #149 [12/77]) to the Teen Titans whipping boy (see Teen Titans #46 [11/76]). The fact that the former was published after...

Re: What's new with the big two: Marvel and DC Comics discussion thread.

I might interested depending on my schedule. The monster I call "Work" takes most of my time. No worries. I'm not certain we'd get the 4, 6 or 8 folks we'd need for it, but hey, it'd be nice to see if we can pull it off. Didn't you or someone else on Herochat do something a while back whe...

Re: What's new with the big two: Marvel and DC Comics discussion thread.

Or worse. They make him an ass. Besides being a streetwise survivor, Billy is also mature for his age and a nice guy. Yes, he's a child. But he was a child with his own news show. He'd be on these adventures, and, yes, things would happen and he'd become the Captain. But the stories were about a boy...

Re: What's new with the big two: Marvel and DC Comics discussion thread.

Then there's the Didio Exception to the Peter Principal. One that allows one to flourish well beyond his level of competence. There was a conversation I used to have with people. Co-Worker: Ken, I know you've got seniority in our section, but now that the (insert name of low level management positio...

Re: What's new with the big two: Marvel and DC Comics discussion thread.

Nice doesn’t make up for the millions of dollars lost on Justice League . The flick had a reported “break even” cost of $750 million — $300 million budget (but went over-budget) re-shoots, distribution, marketing, etc. — and the film grossed $230 million in the United States and Canada, and $420 mi...
