I don't care how much it pisses off Flaming Carrot fans. I enjoyed this movie.
Flaming Carrot works better as a solo act anyway.

If you can balance a tack hammer on your head, you will head off your foes with a balanced attack.

Wait...this movie is based on a comic?
>>81036091
me too senpai
I'll be honest, Champion City is still the best cape city design in a movie in my opinion. The whole opening shot is great.
>>81036091
Yeah, that and the fact that's just sitting there yelling at them not to do it was really fucked up.
All Star is unironically my favorite song of all time.

This is one of my top 5 movies. I have no idea why, but it's one of the only films that I can watch over and over without getting bored.
...even if Michael Bay is in it.
I'm sad this movie wasn't more popular. It was really neat to watch.
>>81036439
Looks like a dystopian future except for the suburbs.
Honestly I want to play a PnP game based off of Z-lister super heroes like this movie.

This movie was before it's time and I love it.
>>81037280

no, those are frat boys. so they would be Chads.
>>81039070
Or dudebros, and yes you're right, my mistake.
>>81039064
Its a crime how unknown it is

Did you know Michael Bay makes a cameo in this film as one of the evil frat brothers?

No.....

It also smooshed right up against the weird 50's retro-future too with a lot of the vehicles and clothing. Whoever did the designs for this movie deserved some kind of award.

It's like something from an early PC horror adventure game.

that.... that is a really good idea that has potential.

I told them it was Mystery Men, and it warmed the cockles of my heart to know that it still had fans.
Captain Amazing has sponsors
I wonder if this is how they got the idea for sponsors in tiger and bunny
>>81034481
It's a totally underappreciated film.
>>81040634
I'm already thinking up ideas.
Game system would have reputation, which would determine how you/your team's exploits are reported by the media. At the start it would be "some unknown individual", the goal of the game being to work up to the point where you get recognized by your superhero name, and you lose if you drop so much rep that you don't even get mentioned in events anymore. You gain rep by completing "superhero actions"(stopping criminals, saving people, and so on), no matter how half-assed the job was done, and lose rep by failing the SA's completely. That way even a bungled job isn't an insta-fail or team-wipe. This is important, since there will be out-of-league SA's on a regular basis. In those, the player(s) will either be up against a supervillian way out of their class, or trying to work with a A-lister superhero against a team of supervillians. These out-of-league SA's will have a much higher chance of failure(due to higher difficulty), but also a much greater payoff. TBC
>>81041220
I'm interestedThough I feel this may have been done before. In any case if this thread somehow survives the night and someone comes up with an online RP group sign me up
>>81041220
cont.
Players would start with about $1000 for supplies and equipment plus costumes that confer no benefits, to reflect the fact they are Z-list heroes. Money would be awarded proportionally to rep for SA's. Player's powers must either be kinda crappy or non-existent. Mooks don't use guns, and heroes aren't supposed to kill either. A major villain might carry a gun, but is likely to suffer from Stormtrooper aim. Upgrading is done mainly through getting better gear to use, like getting enough money for your own heromobile.
Probably has been something like this, hell if I know.
>>81034419
Does this movie hold up? I've been wanting to watch it but I don't want to ruin the magic.
>tfw made a short story in elementary school that was basically Mystery Men fanfiction but featuring cats
>>81040198
But that doesn't make any SENSE. He wouldn't be able to SEE.
My friends and I quote this flick to each other constantly.
>>81041489
I like it, I imagine the powers would be things you'd see in those random super power threads, but just all low-tier things like being able to levitate pizza or being really good at counting money.
>>81041220
What if you add a feature for heroes who have a public identity, there rep is affected by things that arent in crisis hero work. Like attending charities or gettin busted with an escort.
>>81041489
cont.
Rep also has an effect on difficulty. At the start, everyone will live at home in the suburbs, and have no problems. But once the hero gets enough rep, it's no longer safe to stay there, and they may need to think about moving into an abandoned warehouse someplace. The higher your rep gets, the more secure of a "home base" you need to have. Also, the more rep you have, the more enemies will consider you a threat and act appropriately. Starting off, mooks will leave 3-4 guys behind to deal with you and the rest will find something more interesting to do. Once your rep gets high, the moment you are spotted they will be hitting the alarm and everyone will come running.
The idea is that even though you get stronger with better gear, the game doesn't get any easier, and failure is going to happen more than once.
>>81037048
Not only Bay but Dane Cook.

>I like it, I imagine the powers would be things you'd see in those random super power threads, but just all low-tier things like being able to levitate pizza or being really good at counting money.
Exactly, stuff like that would be perfect, and could actually come in useful during the game.

It's an idea, but I feel it could slow the game down some.

Mutants and Masterminds.

You know that's the first thing that poped into my mind, when I started watching tiger and bunny.

It doesn't have the rep system the guy's talking about, but I'm not sure that that need's to be specially codified.

Wait, did Booster always have sponsors on his costume? I mean I know he always had been the kind of character to do such a thing, but I can't remember if he ever did that before 52.

Nope, He used to have a cape though. That looked kinda funny.

What does Jackson Publick have to do with Mystery Men?
In high school I was so obsessed with this movie that I made a comic strip which was a pretty blatant ripoff of the idea of "dumb superheroes". Had a lot of fun with it tho.
>>81034419
Still better than BvS.
Best superhero movie ever?
Best superhero movie ever.
>>81044203
I want to crowbar John.
>>81034419
Unironically one of the best superhero movies of all time
iirc Ben Stiller refuses to talk about, which I find ridiculous since the man is in Madagascar
It's the one with Kel in?
>>81034419
Shit man. I need to find this movie on dvd, I only have it on VHS.
I honestly thought Captain Amazing was played by Brendan Fraiser for the longest time until I rewatched it.
>>81049220
Apparently it's less that he's embarrassed by it and more that there were a lot of personal issues behind the scenes
Captain Amazing's death scene scared the everloving FUCK out of me as a kid.
I couldn't sleep for days.
