    Fair enough. I'll note that it was a truism in the movie business that pirate movies always sucked up until Pirates of the Caribbean, and comic movies always sucked until suddenly they didn't anymore and became the biggest cash cows on the planet.

    ROB has put you in charge of Disney.

    The Sonic movies have done pretty well for themselves and we've seen more decent game movies recently. Historically the reason game movies (and conversely games made from movies) sucked was that they had to below-budget, because the franchise-holder would demand a cut so there wasn't as much...

    I agree on that but I think it would do splendidly on the big screen. Imagine the HBS game brought to life in full Marvel Feature levels of special effects, but now the pilots are played with A-list actors, and have more personality and cutscenes rather than just voiced lines during the fights...

    Well as I said, I feel like the Marvel Horse is dead and only waiting for the beatings to stop anyway. But the furor over Battletech canceling a beloved long-term author does make me think that would be a ripe acquisition. Battletech has enough epic history to get a new replacement cinematic...

    I guess it is at that. But after two years I imagine Marvel will be deader than disco. The franchise is already foundered and frankly just oversaturated already, with a two-year hiatus maybe interest will come back but I suspect it'll be some time before lightning strikes again.

    I think that's because we're forbidden from using any existing franchise so ROB won't let us do any Marvel stuff.

    Honestly, I don't feel like it matters if the image is drawn with a pencil or a mouse as long as the final product looks right. I certainly want to go with some things that look like traditional animation but as long as the CG can be made to look right it's fine. Beauty and the Beast was made...

    Yeah, they cut out the rape scenes in Altered Carbon where the guy was transferred to a menstruating female body and repeatedly tortured sexually. Three things: 1. Netflix isn't Disney. Disney tends more towards family-friendly entertainment, and so doesn't have as much leeway to put rape...

    Friday would be really, really hard to bring to any screen without either butchering it. I mean, it literally opens with her being gang-raped and casually critiquing the rapists' technique while internally monologing about the silly notion that she would care or have any emotional reaction...

    Too high a budget for what they got, but most of it was marketing. The choice of titles is perplexing. A Princess of Mars would have been a direct connection to first Barsoom book. John Carter of Mars or Barsoom would have referenced the entire series. But just John Carter by itself is way...

    Well, that's fairly reasonable. Lets me make sequels to my own IPs and pick up new IPs from novels as I want. Really sucks that I won't be able to bring Gargoyles back though. Maybe I can convince ROB to make an exception for that one alone. As I can't possibly be making the IPs myself and...

    How is ROB defining "Original Content?" There's a fairly wide gray area between "Live-Action Remake" and "You must learn this entire conlang just to understand the dialogue."
