Kingdom Come is honestly one of the tamer stories. It can be adapted with a large enough budget.

Something like >>81923507 literally would not work without the entire history of the main characters and the medium itself.

I sometimes think the sheer mindfuckery that is the latter half of 'the invisibles' as well as the ridiculousness that is 'the filth' (pictured) are so that they could never be ripped off by the wachowski brothers like the early invisibles stories were.

Seriously though you couldn't adapt the filth. not in any way i can imagine.

I wish they would adapt it, just in the hopes Quesada would be so depressed from the hate that he'd eat a gun.

I'm pretty sure censorship is the least of the problem here. More about the scope, narrative structure and the grand scheme.

Kingdom Come can be adapted if you remove the self-insert preacher and the Spectre. But then what would be the point of a KC movie, without the narrators.

>>81923586
This can easily be adapted. Except no one wants see their favorite Marvel heroes all mutilated and deformed. Yes, i know it's a parody.

This cant be adapted, too much comedy and action that cant be translated into film without looking like edgy film.

I personally find the later ones waaaay more esthetically pleasing.
The originals give it a psychodelic flare which is nice, of course, and I do value that they're the first ones... But let's be honest here: everyone should be delighted with the recolor, and I cannot stress this enough: It's how the drawer wanted them to be

>also nice trips m8

Sure it may have been what the original penciller wanted, but that doesn't have to mean he's in the right about it.

Anybody feel that FF wouldn't have been such a disaster if Trank had taken it to WB instead and called it Doom Patrol? The classic run being in mind, of course. Not Mr Morrison's Wild Ride (on which note fuck you too, that'd be amazing as a movie).

>>81924018
I hinestly want to see a an adaptation of Morrison's Animal Man, but instead of it being straight up about comics, the movie would be about Superhero movies. The director would play himself and talk to Buddy about how the studio is putting pressure on him about the project, and how they have to nail the Chinese market and how if they fail the whole thing will get rebooted again, etc.
>>
>>81926286
Shit I didn't even like Morrison Man and now really really want this.
Give Grant himself a cameo.

yeah you tell 'em anon. Who cares if Neal Adams co-created Ra's al Ghul while we're at it It's "Raish" not "Razz"! Ha ha we're so cool!
>>
>>81923579
atleast it was recolored by bolland himself
nowadays all those great runs get recolored in fucking paint or something and it completely ruins the comic since there's errors all over the place
>>
I had an idea for a new 52 adaptation of Kingdom come, and all it is is Starfire looking at a picture of Nightwing saying "I have no strong feelings one way or another."
>>
>>81925521
No thanks. The original coloring was all about the lighting. So many panels the recolor didn't take that into account.
