>Dudes, the 2007 movie and the 2013 soft sequel are both great. The first one is a fantastic neo-western gothic horror comedy. (And yes, watch the extended cut! It fixes the Blackheart holy ground plot hole).
The only thing missing from the movie was a better explanation of his powers for non-comic fans and first-timers (I mean, even the comics get confusing).
Some people say him getting stabbed and hurt, then later being shot and not being affected is a plot hole. It’s not—it’s the science of it! When he was stabbed, an object physically entered him instead of it just being blunt force, which is why it affected him the first time. Later, when he gains more control and transforms again, he isn't affected. When he turns back into Blaze, his stab wound is completely healed because he has control.
Anyway, the sequel is also pretty good—not as good, but chaotically fun and well done. Also, Ghost Rider walking in the sunlight isn’t a plot hole either; when the kid gave him his powers back, he started becoming the Angel Ghost Rider. I’m sick of people not paying attention!
Finally, a Carter Slade prequel show would be great. But now that Ryan Gosling is rumored, it means he’s going to play an understated Ghost Rider. In my opinion, that isn’t Johnny Blaze—Blaze is overstated. That sounds exactly like Danny Ketch! EDIT: My fave ghost-rider run its the OG, then the (i think) late 2007 but before the angels come in!
>Dudes, it's well known that the show and its accuracy have been widely debated, but I think it's accurate. Some people say that only one side—the psychological part—is accurate, but not the globe-trotting side. To that, I would say: have you ever read the 1980s miniseries Fist of Khonshu?
However, for fans of the 2014 run, I think his next appearance will be more like that 2014 version, with only Jake having the powers. Also, to talk about Steven, the character in the comics didn't have much personality and was pretty bumbly, so the show's version is fine with me.
>I want to start off by saying I love nearly all X-Men movies, series, and comics, but I wanted to ask: has anybody here seen and liked The New Mutants?
My taste in the movies includes loving X-Men 1, X2, and yes, X3 and Origins (all it did was have one bad Deadpool, but other than that, it was great). I also love First Class, The Wolverine, and DOFP. I have no memory of Apocalypse and I hate Dark Phoenix. And yes, I hate Logan also (it killed off the X-Men in the most embarrassing and worst way possible, and it messed with the perfect ending of DOFP). So if anybody can tell me how it is, and what they think thanks! EDIT: I love Deadpool!
I would like help for somebody to read my comic IDEA/CONCEPTUAL-SCREENPLAY it has been copyrighted, and excuse my grammar im japanese and still learning.
This is a comic with art in the style of steve ditko and an album cover
