just wanted to say I really enjoyed listening to this podcast. these stories were my first entry into the EU (albeit originally in the novelised versions rather than the original comics)
Quoteinteresting that my opinions of these comics seem to be pretty much in line with the consensus coming through in the podcast.
Quotebut having said that, seeing the original black and white version posted above.. it's like night and day! I don't know how colour can somehow detract from an image.. but in this case it totally does.

The only argument I'm hearing is that people don't really like these films and that you basically need to be a PG-13 crowd pleaser to get over a billion dollars (with one exception, ever).
Quote from: SiL on Apr 29, 2020, 01:24:50 PMI'm not hearing anything that shows any realistic expectations the franchise would ever be popular enough to expect it.

Quote from: SiL on Apr 27, 2020, 09:49:21 PMThey're (marvel movies) also PG and specifically designed to appeal to as many people as possible. Last time they did that to Aliens it didn't go well.
Quote from: SiL on Apr 27, 2020, 09:49:21 PMI'm also talking about the fact people, even fans, would seem to rather shit on these movies than enjoy them.
Quote from: SiL on Apr 27, 2020, 09:49:21 PMThese films won't make a billion dollars because the audience for them just isn't that large. Sci fi horror does not attract those crowds.

Without you being specific, I assume you mean pining for the action, scale and expansive universes of marvel films. Films that have cross the billion dolar mark multiple times on individual outings, whereas Prometheus made a lowly $400 million worldwide- despite an aggressive marketing campaign.
Quotef you just keep churning out fakeouts and predictably false movie endings with a stowaway alien the audience are beyond bored.Every Marvel film follows the same formula. They are so repetitive and uninspired it's not funny. Turns out people just like Marvel movies.
