What does /co/ think about the movie adaption of Captain Underpants? Did you go see it? Did you read the books as a child?
I feel like I should be more excited for it. I learned to read from reading the first book in the series, and the author is from my home state. Yet for some reason I haven't gone to see it.
Read the books as a kid. Saw it yesterday. Enjoyed it very much. Humor was more for kids, but it still got some laughs out of me. Very faithful to the books style.I didn't think they would use the Flip-o-rama for the action scene, but I'm glad I was wrong.
If you read the books, I highly recommend it.

Before the MCU, the rights to its main characters were scattered across different studios, that were developing very different versions of the projects. This is how they could've turned out.
IRON MAN (1997)
STUDIO
>20th Century Fox.
WRITTEN BY
>Jeff Vintar & Stan Lee.
PROPOSED DIRECTOR
>Quentin Tarantino.
PROPOSED CAST
>Nicolas Cage as Tony Stark / Iron Man.
PROPOSED PLOT
>Wealthy businessman Tony Stark is shot by a smart bullet of his own design and crawls into the Redeemer, a prototype suit of armor designed to help firemen extract victims from wreckage, so its life support system can treat his injuries. Aided by Virginia "Pepper" Potts, a member of the board of directors of Stark Industries, Stark uncovers board member Jeremy Bland as the mastermind behind his failed assassination, and learns that Bland is in cahoots of Advanced Idea Mechanics (AIM), an international crime syndicate that aspires to use Stark's technology to create living weapons. Stark weaponizes the Redeemer to stand against AIM's enforcers Whiplash, Inferno and Virus and prevent their employer, M.O.D.O.K. (Mechanized Organism Designed Only for Killing), from corrupting his creations, in the process forging an heroic legacy as Iron Man.
IRON MAN (2000)
STUDIO
>New Line Cinema.
WRITTEN BY
>Tim McCanlies; Terry Rossio & Ted Elliot.
PROPOSED DIRECTOR
>Joss Whedon.
PROPOSED PLOT
>Weapons manufacturer Tony Stark is framed for supplying weapons to terrorists by his business rival Justin Hammer, who then masterminds an attempt on Stark's life by sabotaging his private plane in order to seize control of Stark Industries and its groundbreaking Repulsor technology. Stark, however, survives due to an advanced armored suit and adopts the identity of Iron Man to prove his innocence and prevent Hammer from providing terrorists with Repulsor-based weapons that could change the landscape of modern warfare. While facing Hammer, Stark must also evade elite counter-terrorism operative Nick Fury, who is deployed by the United States government to stop him under the belief he's a terrorist. Once it becomes clear that Hammer is the true enemy, Fury joins Stark's efforts to stop him, and is later assigned by the President to headline a new organization codenamed "S.H.I.E.L.D.", while Stark reclaims Stark Industries and sets out to build a better world.
IRON MAN (2004)
STUDIO
>New Line Cinema.
WRITTEN BY
>David Hayter; Al Gough & Miles Miller.
PROPOSED DIRECTOR
>Nick Cassavetes.
PROPOSED CAST
>Tom Cruise as Tony Stark / Iron Man.
>Famke Janssen as Bethany Cabe.
>Jamie Foxx as James Rhodes.
>George Clooney as Nick Fury.
PROPOSED PLOT
>Billionaire inventor Tony Stark uncovers evidence that his family's company, Stark Industries, is selling weapons to terrorists. After approaching his father Howard Stark with his concerns, Tony is severely injured when his car is sabotaged and survives due to an armored suit, which he weaponizes with help from his chief of security Bethany Cabe and his best friend, Colonel James Rhodes. Stark then sets out to uncover the mastermind behind the attempt on his life, while also evading the shadowy espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D. commanded by Nick Fury, who is on his trail to seize his technology.
>Stark uncovers evidence that Howard is both responsible for selling the weapons to terrorists and ordering the hit on him. Howard reverse-engineers Tony's technology to build a heavily-armed suit for himself, the War Machine. After Cabe, with whom Tony had developed a relationship, is caught in the crossfire, Tony and Howard have a final battle which culminates with Tony being forced to kill his father. Tony then reclaims Stark Industries and brokers a treaty with Fury to assist S.H.I.E.L.D. while secretly using their resources to locate and destroys the caches of Stark weapons scattered across the globe as the armored Avenger, Iron Man.
FUN FACTS
>The studio planned for Iron Man to have a transparent faceplate that'd leave Tom Cruise's face visible at all times.
>There were plans to launch a Nick Fury spin-off of the movie, but Clooney declined the role after being given "Nick Fury MAX" comics to read and being appalled by the violent content of the comics. The series was cancelled for costing New Line Clooney's involvement.
THE INCREDIBLE HULK (1993-1999)
WRITTEN BY
>Jonathan Hensleight.
PROPOSED DIRECTOR
>Joe Johnston, later replaced by Hensleight.
PROPOSED CAST
>David Duchovny as Bruce Banner / Hulk.
>Gregory Sporleder as Novak.
>Lynn "Red" Williams as Jenkins.
PROPOSED PLOT
>Dr. Bruce Banner and his girlfriend, Betty Ross, are scientists employed by her father, General Thaddeus Ross, to create weapons for the United States government. Bruce has anger management issues due to a traumatic childhood in the hands of his abusive father, Brian Banner, and is conducting genetic experiments on three death row inmates - Novak, Jenkins and Slater - selected by General Ross, splicing their DNA with insect DNA.
>The leader of the criminals, Novak, masterminds a riot and, in the chaos, Bruce is caught in the explosion of an experimental gamma bomb and turned into a monstrous green creature known as "The Hulk", which General Ross becomes obsessed with capturing. Aided by Betty, Bruce initially attempts to leave, but is forced to come to terms with the monster within to save New York City when Novak and his men, turned into monsters by the gamma bomb explosion, begin wreaking havoc in the city.
FUN FACTS
>Animatronics of the Hulk were actually produced by Industrial Light & Magic before the project was scrapped.
>At one point during the movie's troubled production, it was debated to ape the success of 1994's THE MASK by turning the movie into a comedy starring Adam Sandler as Bruce Banner and Jim Carrey as Novak.
After the Battle of New York, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) creates the Department of Damage Control to clean up after superhuman battles, inadvertly forcing Adrian Toomes (Michael Keaton) and his salvage crew out of business. Toomes and his men then decide not to surrender the Chitauri technology they have already scavenged and use it to steal weapons and supply them to criminal enterprises.
Years later, after the Battle of Leipzig, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) is eager to join the Avengers, but is told by Stark that he's not yet ready. Peter is then forced to return to his old life as a student of Midtown Science and Technology School alongside his friends Ned (Jacob Batalon) and Michelle (Zendaya), his rival Flash Thompson (Tony Revolori) and his longtime crush Liz Allan (Laura Harrier). They're members of the school's academic declathon team, but Peter has recently quit to focus on his "internship" at Stark Industries, a cover for his crimefighting activities.
Spider-Man confronts a group of criminals using Chitauri weapons to rob an ATM, but they escape. Ned accidentally finds out his secret identity and mentions at school that Peter knows Spider-Man from Stark Industries. Flash challenges Peter to prove it by bringing Spider-Man to Liz's party later that night. While preparing to do so, Peter spots an explosion and leaves the party to investigate. He finds Toomes' associates Herman Shultz (Booken Woodbine) and Jackson Brice (Logan Marshall-Green) selling weapons to gangster Aaron Davis and intervenes, but Shultz and Brice escape while Peter is nearly killed by Toomes in an flying exosuit and later rescued by Stark, who urges Peter to forget about the Vulture and focus on his studies.
Peter is determined to stop the Vulture and retrieves a Chitauri weapon that Brice had left behind, removing its power core. A tracking device leads Shultz and Brice to Midtown, but Peter and Ned evade them and Peter plants a spider-tracer on Shultz that leads back to Virginia. Peter then rejoins the declathon team and accompanies them to Nationals in Washington, D.C., to follow his lead on Shultz. Peter and Ned disable Peter's suit's tracker and unlock its secret features, including an A.I. interface. Spider-Man then locates Toomes, Shultz and their tinkerer, Phineas Mason (Michael Chernus), intercepting a DDC truck to steal more weapons. Spider-Man confronts the Vulture, but is overpowered and trapped in the truck, missing Nationals and disappointing his friends.
Peter finds out that the Chitauri power core left with Ned is unstable and that his friends are in danger. He manages to escape from DDC's headquarters but is too late to prevent the core from exploding while the team is visiting the Washington Monument, leaving them trapped in a collapsing elevator. Spider-Man manages to climb to the top while evading the police and catch the elevator before it plummets, saving his classmates and proving himself as a hero.

That sounds about right.
Sounds fun.
I'll just leave this here

How and why does Galactus eat planets?
he hungry
I eat john, it's what I do
>>93243957
Because in most of the planets, they serve as embryos for Celestials, and they're huge assholes. His job is to consume them before they are born. He's basically the god of abortion.
>Scooby Doo was originally going to be R rated
>YWN see blood and gore
>YWN Scooby and Shaggy smoke weed
>YWN see lesbian Velma and Daphne
>Instead we got two PG theatrical films and two made for TV sequels
Feels bad man
Nah. This is a franchise for fucking children. Why would you force an R rating on the capers of teenagers?
>>93243840
they probably just said "bang a dog up the ass"
I wonder if it was really all that much of an R or if it was like Galaxy Quest where the differences are so negligible that the "R rated" version that was filmed is very overblown especially in comparison to a much edgier script.
Don't worry /co/, I will save us.
I still can't believe all the eye stuff is a complete coincidence
>>93243679
>a complete coincidence
What, you mean it wasn't foreshadowing?
>>93243622
I loved how Reboot did an entire episode that was a tribute to The Prisoner.

Can anyone explain to me how the bat signal is a good way to communicate with batman? What if he is asleep.
>>93243308
BATMAN NEVER SLEEPS!
it was created before cellphones or the internet fool
>>93243363
What about a regular phone? Or the same system the police use?
Why does batman not move closer to the town to respond faster?
NOT MUH GUARDIANS
Who was in the wrong here?
Butch Hartman
>>93243146
Butch Hartman.
OP for meme spouting.
Is he dead?
Nah I just think he's taking a break after another long bout of depression as one of his recent videos spoke on the matter.
>>93242845
You'd have to be a total incompetent to die after only 2 weeks of being homeless.
So, probably.

"It's not a retcon if we create an incredibly flimsy excuse for how this fits into the canon"

It's not really a retcon if it's not retconning anything either. Until that point we didn't really know where the Avatar power came from
>>93243184
makes sense to me
So /co/, I want to start reading spider-man (never have) what runs would you guys recommend? Where will I be able to find them?
