Yes, we will and I am looking forward to that especially with comic book universes ‘cause there are a lot of comic book companies that have yet to have any of their major titles on screen which are very different than the superhero movies we have had so far and a lot of people mostly think about super heroes when they think of comic books but there are so many genres comic books have covered and they have Horror, Action, Crime, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Romance and Thriller series to name a few and many that are a combination of those genres like ‘Witchblade’ which Image Comics describes as a Horror/Crime/Fantasy/Science Fiction/Superhero series. Image Comics has had the most diversity with different genres over the years and they have had Lesbian Romance titles like ‘Sunstone’ which won awards, was highly praised and is under heavy consideration to be adapted into a movie.
Did you hear Netflix bought Rob Lieifeld’s ‘Awesome Comics a few months ago and they are going to adapt the ‘Extreme Universe’ into a series of movies? They didn’t get the rights for ‘Avengelyne’ and ‘Youngblood’ ‘cause Rob Liefeld sold the film rights for ‘Avengelyne’ to Paramount Pictures who are adapting it into a movie with Akiva Goldsman and Rob has kept the rights for ‘Youngblood ‘cause he is said to be adapting it into a movie himself like Todd McFarlane is with ‘Spawn’ but Netflix will have ‘Bloodstrike’, ‘Glory’, ‘Bloodpool’, ‘Supreme’, Cybrid, Bloodwulf, and Kaboom and what’s interesting with that is Akiva Goldsman is adapting them too so ‘Avengelyne’ might become part of the universe if Akiva Goldsman convinces Paramount Pictures to work with Netflix. Bubble Comics has their own movie studios now called Bubble Studios and they will be adapting all their titles into movies.
Big companies wanting full ownership and control over independent comic book companies is one of the main reasons so many successful titles under Image Comics haven’t been adapted into movies ‘cause a lot of creators took their titles to Image Comics instead of DC and Marvel ‘cause they got to keep ownership and control over them and I think the best way to go would be both parties working together when it comes to movie adaptions with the creators and writers of these series writing the movie adaptions with script writers and directors who can find a middle ground everybody agrees to and this has been achieved with some other titles that have been adapted to screen like the ‘Sin City and ‘Sin City’ was co-written, co-directed and co-produced by Frank Miller with Robert Rodriguez and the sequel was too and the movies came out under Dimension Films so it can be done.
Thanks for letting me know about ‘Howard the Duck’ and that is a lot of money Marvel would have lost if they had self-financed the movie themselves but in regards to funding I wonder why some of these companies don’t try and fan fund comic book adaptions under sites like Kickstarter ‘cause the series that sell the most might get a lot of fans donating movie to see their favourites finally get a chance on the big screen. 
Heard about the Lieifeld stuff, not sure what it all means tbh as im not aware of those properties, I have admitted before im not actually a huge comic reader my love comes from TV and film adaptations, and im both way to add. & ocd , reading comics is not for me as I get obsessive and collect way too much stuff which I never get around to enjoying, id start every comic from it's original issues get as far in as it took for a new cool character to pop up that gets their own run and id switch to reading that till a new character with their own line came about and so on, and so on...I mean I have wrestling DVD's from CZW, FIP, IWA, ROH, Zero-1, NJPW, ECW & so many more that I brought almost a decade ago that I never got round to watching.
But yeah heard about it, he seems pumped up about it from interviews I saw him give so that's cool, the fucking dude seems like he mainlines red bull and cocaine though, so fuck knows if he is psyched or if that's just his base, either way glad he's getting paid.
In regards to crowdfunding I'm guessing cost is a big deal, I mean in this day and age a few million for a CBM or TV show likely isn't that hard to come by, atleast not till the bottom falls out, but that's hard to drum up with crowd sourcing, also you always need to put the audience into perspective, if you recall on the old board we spoke about how even some of the best selling comics of all time if you break down the no. of issues they made by their reported sales your talking less than an average of 1m fans, which you know not all will donate so it's a risk, also how do you set targets? too low and people get like ah man it's cheap I cant believe this shit, too high and people go man fuck that shit they aint got a snowflakes chance in hell of getting there, plus what company wants to be seen as the people begging for handouts?
With some exceptions up until we got series like ‘Razor’ and ‘Witchblade’ a lot of female characters in comic books were written as being secondary to male characters but the 90s saw a big change in that and we started getting more and more female lead series with female characters who were their own characters and had their own side characters and villains. Image Comics and other independent comic book companies saw the one area where the two major companies were servery lacking at (female characters) as Marc Silvestri said and capitalised on it and it was the success of those series and 'Supergirl' by Peter David that Chuck Dixon said lead to the creation of 'Birds of Prey' and DC taking female characters more seriously 'cause they saw there was an audience for these comic books who wanted more. I don't blame you for avoiding comic books if you get obsessive over some things 'cause there are thousands if not millions of comic books to get and I have a large collection that I have collected over the years but I mostly buy the graphic novels now instead of getting them when they are released as comic books 'cause you get more in them.
Beccy and I have been following wrestling for a long time too and we used to watch WWF, WCW and ECW in the 90s and we still watch WWE now and was watching TNA too until Foxtel lost the rights for it a few years ago. We have also gone to see WWE live when they have come out to tour Australia a few times and we saw WCW and WWA live years ago too and the latter had a lot of the wrestlers that went on to TNA.  |

Do you have a Netflix account? And if so, have you seen the Netflix MCU shows and what are your thoughts on them?

I stopped watching Arrow on the air after season 4 because of how bad it was and watched season 5 on Netflix, which was a surprisingly good season. Just curious if 6 is worth watching. I enjoyed it on the whole. The big bad POV episode was a pleasant surprise. Similarly the deathstroke arc. Deathstroke is always awesome though |

Yes he is. CW is dropping the ball by not making a Deathstroke show. Though, they probably can't because WB wants to use him in a movie. In which case they really need to shit or get off the pot. Tired of not having any live-action Deathstroke!

I just come across this and thought the two of you might be interested. To be fair I think Warner Bros are the ones to blame when it comes to Deathstroke and not the 'Arrowverse' writers which is different for a change 'cause it was Warner Bros who stopped them from using Deathstroke in 'Arrow' when Marc said he had big plans for the character last season and judging on the way they have talked about the character since he was blocked it sounds like they had to rewrite a number of episodes and Season 6 would have been very different if Deathstroke had stayed in it. I could have seen them doing more with Deathstroke's son and Deathstroke appearing more to help Oliver and try to redeem himself but whether he would have stayed a hero is unknown. comicbook.com/dc/2018/10/28/arrow-deathstroke-slade-wilson-manu-bennett-return-oliver-queen-/ I believe WB also had the CW stop using Deadshot and Amanda Waller.  |

Thing to me is characters it doesn't matter if multiple platforms use them hell even the same platforms does anyone think kids are going to get confused about the characters being different between JL Action and Young Justice or JL or JLU? what about Batman? Do kids get thrown out by the differences between B:TAS, The Batman, Beware The Batman, Batman The Brave & The Bold, what about the 80/90's Batman films, to the Nolan films to the DCEU Batman?
Whats an issue and it's an issue they don't care about it the shows using key source material as throwaway storylines ala Flashpoint, that's more what they should have an issue with, as is with the characters let the shows use who they want if need be just give the aesthetic mandates to ensure no one mixes up who is who like ok you can use Deathstroke but he cant be called Deathstroke you have to refer to him as Slade and no more outfit, that stuff isn't the meat of the character that's just the sides, but let us have Manu & Slade back.
They could have done this with Waller also, in the movies have her almost exclusively referred to as The Wall or Boss where as the show kept her as Waller, so long as in the film and shows fans when talking can discern the characters in conversation it shouldn't be an issue imo.
