It sounds like they really messed up the Punisher character. I think the simplicity of his original character was the main appeal. It really makes no sense when they try and reinvent the wheel with a classic.Quote:

I've always thought a TV series focusing on the X-Men would be brilliant... So much history to draw from, much like Smallville had with Superman.Quote:

@Siaki. I loved the whole thing, but the fights (especially Wolverine Vs Lobo) could have done with more depth. The Amalgamation was a pretty cool idea though, and the Access mini series was a nice follow up.
I read somewhere a few months ago that a live action Hulk TV series is in the works. Wonder Woman has a TV show coming out, but it looks pretty terrible.Quote:

When I look at translating a comic character into TV I would always favor characters that are not too campy for translation. As much as us comic fans like it the main stream audiances do not accept things that are to incredible. I think some things in the superhero world are best left for comic books and animation. That being said, I have always felt Daredevil would translate well into a TV show.Quote:

Also a Punisher and Daredevil series would seem real do-able, I dunno if I can see another Hulk show just due to the computer graphics they have to do would be more tedious for each show.. No matter I would give any Marvel tv show a chance, because I like to support my favorite companies (even some of the bad decisions i.e. most marvel movies lol)..
HfH would be fantastic, any word on who will play who, or is the project just an idea at this time. I heard Disney have big plans for some of the lesser known MC's.Quote:
