Now that is a good idea.
I would love that !!! Actually it could be about the Eternal brothers and their lives throughout History. Kind of like the Black Adder meets Die Hard.

John Goodman would be Armstrong . . . . and I'm stuck . . . . I need more cast suggestions . . .

And there should be a lotta this in it

I can't explain it, but this thread has given me the weirdest sense of deja vu. Especially the last few posts. Help on this anyone, or am I just wierding out?

I haven't read the whole thread, so I don't know how far gone it is at this point; however the question is which would be most likely...
I'd have to say Bloodshot would be. It wouldn't have to be big budget, the special effects would be minimal (standard stuff blowing up and trick shots for the nanites communicating with machines - think the Punisher with Captain America kind of abilities).
Furthermore, the character is one of the closest in the valiant lineup to look like a typical superhero (white skin/costume red dot/chest emblem) so movie goers would identify this as a superhero movie, which are popular nowadays.

yep...bloodshot with the Rock is clearly the movie of choice...

XO would have to be a summer blockbuster $100 million + budget.

bloodshot would be sweet...popcorn flick..

speaking of which anyone got any bloodshot #1's they want to sell me?

also looking for some other random bloodshot issues...

Sounds great to me. Someone should pull their head out their a$$ and make this happen while Goodman is still healthy enough to play the role.

A Bloodshot movie IMO would make the most sense to me as a big budget film. The potential as a stand-alone franchise is limitless.

i always thought a manga animated x-o would be fantastic like vampier hunter d and a bit of ghost in the shell it would be a smash hit no dout about it.

and maybe a live action eternal warrior series.

is there a casting thread like who would you have play which hero or villan if not maybe we could have something like that eh??

My thoughts exactly.

X-O Mangawar would just be Acclaim-lite...

No. Manga bad.

I went to a local small comic con here a month or so ago. Half of it was devoted entirely to Manga. I hadn't a clue what any of it was.

I have to say there is something primal and seemingly unstoppable about the sight or idea of liquid fiery rock. Mmmm.

I keep seeing this fake gun that's hung on the wall of a LCS near me. The thing is, attached to the barrel of the gun is an obscenely large blade/sword. I've gathered that is from 'Final Fantasy', but i always asociate it with 'manga'.

The thing looks absolutly ridiculous!

It's like 4 ft. long.
