Re: The Bloodshot movie...what would have happened

I think the budget was rather high considering Valiant is not a household name. I think more traditional effects could have been used, and a cheaper up and coming star could have been cast in the main role. I'm not trying to *SQUEE* on the movie, as I do like it, just my thoughts. It's been rumored...

Re: The Bloodshot movie...what would have happened

For me the Harada piece is key because it sets up the whole universe - dont forget they had to cut lots of little bits throughout the movie when they couldn't do Harada at the end like the question scene that teased Harbinger. I agree, there were probably tons of little bits they had to cut out. In...

Re: The Bloodshot movie...what would have happened

As for why the audience turnout was subpar, it just looked like a general action movie starring Vin Diesel. Even worse, it looked like an action movie from 15 years ago. Today's audiences are embracing comic book aesthetics, and this movie lacked that - especially given the movie's aversion to show...

I've been reading stories with these characters in them since the mid 90s and I still like what I read. I also think we're nowhere near as bad as the Acclaim material was.

Re: XO and Savage cancelled??

I think this has more to do with the “pencils down” order and halt to publication during the Coronavirus outbreak than anything else. Savage was always going to be a limited series, so it’s not likely to get cancelled, and XO—as crappy as the reviews have been—is still their best selling, “flagship...

BLOODSHOT REBORN #10 (First Shadowman Cult)

I question this, as this entire arc (and it's characters) exist only inside Bloodshot's mind. It happened while he was controlled by PRS, it was right before Livewire helped Bloodshot lock out anyone who would attempt to hack his mind and control him.

You should ask Rahal about his time on Bloodshot PRS, it enlightening to say the least. I felt sorry for him having to finish off that train wreck. He’s a decent writer and did what he could with that pile of trash that had preceded him. Agreed! Think this was his third bail out of Valiant. I know ...

Re: DMG first video game will be...

This is pretty random. I think that they probably went for the easiest thing they could possibly get done, coupled with the upcoming new #1. Maybe they are trying to hit two markets, use the book to push the game, use the game to push the comic?
