Jonathan, how does she "not get it" exactly? Sgt. Rock could be a very cool film, but it's a MUCH more obscure character than a Wonder Woman or Green Lantern. I think the writer's point is a good one. That said, I agree with the potential cross-over appeal. But...is this the right time to be making an adaptation of an American comic book soldier?? I dunno. I mean, I'd see it, but I don't know how this would play outside of the US (or even inside the US in certain regions).

So please explain your point.

Jonathan, insulting me is not a good way to make a point.

First, there's been a lot of talk lately about DC needing to catch up with Marvel in the superhero movie department. I'm not denying that it Sgt. Rock wouldn't make a good movie, with mass appeal -- but he's not the character to do that. And he's not the DC character that comic book fans are dying to see. I doubt he would make a Top 5 list.

Does that mean he shouldn't get a movie? No, but I find it funny that he's further along the pre-production route than their franchise superheroes. From a marketing and profit standpoint alone, Green Lantern would make more sense than Sgt. Rock. Only one can end up as a Big Gulp cup.

If you don't see that, then it isn't me who has the problem.

boy Jonathan, you're a condescending douche, aren't you? It's not like she flamed you, your response was far more inflammatory than necessary.

Your "point" has nothing to do with your comment that the writer shouldn't be doing DC or Marvel posts. So what was that, then? Trolling? Stating that someone doesn't "get it" in a vacuum is certainly not any sort of constructive criticism.

Now, on to your "point". DC needs to catch up with Marvel. You've admitted this. Is Sgt. Rock going to get them there??? I highly doubt it, and I don't care how good the film is. The writer noted that it wouldn't be in anyone's "top 5 list" of DC properties. It's more like Top 20. I could be a really cool flick, but it's not going to close the gap in any appreciable way.

And that goes back to the writer's original point which you seem to have missed: DC needs to get in the game on Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, etc. No they shouldn't rush a bad script...but they'd better be rushing to get a good one. They are in danger of being left in the dust.

"Sweetheart"? Oh, you're a sexist too. Cute! That explains it all, actually. Between that and Moo's eloquent responses, I don't feel I need to add anything further to the discussion.

Wow, you really must be a hit with the ladies.

And no, I pine for Obama. That's the only reason I'm compelled to reply -- you can accuse me of just about anything but voting for Hillary Clinton.
