I'd love to see Marvel tackle a live-action/2D animated show (ala Roger Rabbit) based on Steve Gerber's legendary character and done by James Gunn and the creator of Bojack Horseman to do it and pay respect the source material.
Afterall we all accepted a talking raccoon.

As an animated series. Yes. As a live action series. No.

Why try to improve on perfection The problem with the movie was that it was the product of executive meddling from Universal who wanted a blockbuster tentpole movie for the summer of 1986 as Lucas originally wanted an adult animated film based on Gerber's comic in the tradition of Heavy Metal, Fritz the Cat, Wizards and all that but Universal wanted it rushed to a summer 1986 film for a blockbuster, big mistake. The movie was not very good and a poor representation of the character as even the fans of the comic disliked the film and Gerber himself disliked the movie as it dumbed down the character and wasn't really Howard the Duck but only in name as it had little in common with the source material other than Beverly Switzler/Howard plus their relationship. Not to mention it was just a midget in a halloween costume that looked unconvincing and a bad script plus totally mishandled the character on film. Plus Howard the Duck is not a character designed for the children’s market, and his film or show reboot should reflect that. People talk of the Ninja Turtles’ dark past, but even their original black & white comics weren’t *that* dark. The Ninja Turtles may not have started out as a series for kids, but it was still a light hearted satire of Frank Miller’s Daredevil and Ronin stories. Howard’s original comic book series written by Steve Gerber, however, was full of mature themes and quickly grew a cult following as Howard faced off against foes like Dr. Bong or sat out an entire issue while Gerber dished out existential musings on life. The mistake of Howard’s 1986 film was not that it featured some mature content, but the fact that it was ever produced with consideration for the children’s market at all. His new version movie or TV show should steer clear of making the same mistake, finally delivering the film both Howard and we, the viewing public deserve. Howard should be shown debating liberal-arts hippies from the local university and encountering strange creatures named after double entendres, such as “Man-Thing”. I want this to be a satrical dark comedy series like Bojack Horseman in the MCU and a bit of Roger Rabbit thrown in, it can make people forget about the 1986 film the way Daredevil by Marvel made everyone forget the 2003 Fox abortion and Captain America trilogy made everyone forget about the 1990 and TV movies of him. Marvel knows how to improve on some things. Yet who should play Dr. Bong and Beverly Switzler and i think Sacha Baron Cohen can be Ringmaster. |

Just do a straight sequel to the first. Not sure if they could bring Jeffrey Jones back, Disney has been anti-pedo lately. But i'm willing to give him a second chance.

Hey weirdracist you came crawling back again. Called it. At least this time you're not pretending to be someone else and using a sock. Remember like you did months ago? I read one post and said it was obviously raptor. You kept denying it and then John the admin confirmed it. Annnnnnd you disappeared again. Hilarious. A quick glance at the thread titles revealed you posted to every one, huh? A bit desperate for attention? Is everything ok with you? Did you and arf arf have a spat? Did he stage a coup of your clubhouse? Or was it his clubhouse? Did the other 3 members side with arf arf? Damn bro that had to sting. It always bummed me out that I wasn't on the site when either of you guys had your meltdowns. Maybe I'll be here when you inevitably lose your shit again. |

Please don't start that up again, you two went at it for months. This board really calmed down once that had ended don't turn it back into a shit show.
In fact Poelzig you haven't even been around all that much so I hope you aren't going to come back just for that.
This was a 2017 issue, you both went away for ages, just start over and let it go.

In fact Poelzig you haven't even been around all that much so I hope you aren't going to come back just for that. This was a 2017 issue, you both went away for ages, just start over and let it go. I am genuinely curious about why he slunk back after swearing he would NEVER do so again. He posted to EVERY thread here so it was impossible not to notice which is the exact reason he posted to EVERY thread here. Also he did call me every hate filled racial slur he could think of before burning his bridge as well as spewing vitriol at numerous other posters that DIDN'T shit on everyone and then disappear. If you're cool with ignorant racists then you're part of the problem and a gutless little worm as well but that's your character flaw. Don't hand me any lies about not being cool with racists. The fact you're defending one is proof that you would rather look the other way than do the right thing. Lie to yourself but don't expect me to goosestep along with you. However, I would think even you might show a tiny bit of loyalty to the other people that vile little racist insulted who continued to post here while your buddy was off burning crosses or riding ponys or whatever he's been up to after shitting on countless members of this board and swearing never to return. As far as me not being around, (unlike your racist pal) I've never left this site. I'm more active at times depending on what else is going on in my life. Also my girlfriend has a say as most of us with women in their lives know. As far as this board tho, it is a shit show. The same silly mcu kids circle jerking each other and insulting anyone who thinks differently while you do little to nothing. Gosh who wouldn't want to post here every day? Even more so now that I (one of a handful of non whites here) see how eager you and the other racists are to welcome back a guy who proudly drops N bombs. If you had even a semblance of a conscience you would be ashamed for siding with racists instead of warning ME to "behave". He called me a fucking n****r and you want me to be his buddy? Are you delusional? |

People who knew him requested that he come back, he has seemingly complied and he's now come back.
As for the racism that seemed to have started the grudge between you...that happened around the time Spider-man Homecoming came out right? That was of course before I, or anyone was made a mod, I only dealt with issues moving on from when I became a mod to make it fair.
Don't forget what happened when you had that other meltdown when you started claiming other people, like Lord Death Man, were being racist over a misunderstanding you had with some quoting of a book. I did my best to help sort that mess out that you made with other people which all ended with you apologizing for accusing people who had done nothing wrong.
Maybe for once you should try not playing the victim? See how that goes for a change.
Did I say you had to be his friend? No. You two were the exact same, obsessed with each other to the point you couldn't let things go. You still kept commenting on him long after he'd left. You don't like, he doesn't like you....have some common sense and stay away from each other, don't reply to each other, don't provoke each other, just keep away entirely and neither of you need to bring the forum down yet again.
Any racism, actual racism, not misunderstood quotes from a book, will be dealt with properly.

You sure that's the way you want this to go? Smug white kids telling non whites to get over being called racial slurs is not real popular these days even in whatever fantasy land you live in. At least now I know why you deleted the racial slurs and other vitriol in his meltdown. No proof. |

I honestly don't remember any book-quote misunderstanding event.
But I saw poelzig being heinously called a monkey several times to mock his race. I also remember "n*****, please" mock comments and jokes of poelzig belong in prison (including weird sexual prison rape comments). I wonder if those are racist enough to be deleted?
They should be.

Smug white kids telling non whites to get over being called racial slurs is not real popular these days even in whatever fantasy land you live in. The guy came back after many months, he has said nothing to you or even mentioned you since. Yet you wasted no time replying to him to goad him on anyway and now you're blaming other people for it including myself? What I bolded is exactly what I mean. You have this paranoia that everything is about race and this is again, why you had the unnecessary meltdown over the book quote. Do you think I give a damn what anyone's race is on this site? I know that he said something racist to you back when Spider-man came out, unfortunately that has nothing to do with me because I wasn't a mod then. If it was such a serious issue for you though then you should have gone to the Admin about it. Your right, naturally I deleted the racist comments, one of which I do remember being made after I became a mod. So what happened next? Well you came to me via PM and brought it up, so I helped you out and I directed you to a post of mine that quoted the racist comment in question so that you could use it as evidence when going to the Admin. You thanked me for it....and then what happened? Did you actually tell the Admin? What did the Admin do? Either way my involvement ended right there because I can't ban people and I can't make the decision to ban people just like I can't approve pending accounts or make that decision either. Anything that happened next was a private matter between you and the Admin. |

The first movie was a piece of garbage and a disgrace to the character, i'm glad Marvel is better nowadays on film and loved his cameos in Guardians 1 and 2. I'd love to see him co-star in Deadpool 3. |

Since Disney owns Marvel now, they could sneak in the implication that Howard is from Duckburg.
