In Reply to: only a few on your list are actually plausible posted by DRD #37 on June 13, 2002 at 16:13:42:
: Blade 3: implausible (two Blade films is quite enough)
It's getting made.
: X-Men 3: plausible (the more X-Men films, the better, though they'd better remain true to the series and realistic like the first)
The first did not remain true.
No Beast
Iceman was a teenager
Rogue and Wolverine joining at the same time
Hugh Jackman being a foot taller than Wolverin
Making Magneto Jewish, and a Holocaust survivor (this especially pissed me off because one of the things Stan Lee strived to do was make the superheroes be relatable, and therefore never gave them religious affiliations)
Toad being a worthy foe against Cyclops, Jean Gray, Storm, etc. (he was one of the weaker villains in the comics)
Wolverine not knowing who Sabretooth was (in the comics, the X-Men didn't know who Sabretooth was, but Wolverine did)
And the costumes. They didn't have to put them in "Yellow spandex", but one of the things I liked about the suits in the comics was that each X-Men had a distinct suit. In this, they all look the same, and we're expected to believe they just happened to have a suit that was a perfect fit for Wolverine? Sorry, it may have been a good film, but it WAS NOT true to the comic.
: Rising Stars: plausible (though it'd be hard to pull off)
It's in the works
: Silver Surfer: implausible (if the Fantastic Four battled Galactus, he'd be cool to see there, but not in his own film)
I think it's plausible, he has a great story, they'd just have to avoid the temptation of making him CG in a real world...now, a completely CG Silver Surfer could be decent.
: Spider-Man 3: plausible (so long as there's a good story, good direction, and good acting behind it)
I think you're using the word "plausible" incorrectly. Plausible is another word for "possible" and you're using it for movies that are in the works to be made...there's no plausibility, it's definitely. Or are you saying it's plausibly good? If so...well...you're just silly
: Supergirl: implausible (there's already a Supergirl film, and look how it turned out)
There was also a FF and Punisher movie, which turned out like shit, but you have hope for them. I agree with you, but your reasoning is flawed.
: Sub-Mariner: implausible (Aquaman is more recognizable, but a cameo in the FF or Spider-Man films would be okay)
Aquaman's a puss. They had to rip off his hand and make him go insane to make him somewhat cool.
: Wonder Twins: implausible (though they've got enough support to back up the making of their own film, they'd have to have better powers for it to be any good)
Once again. Are you saying it's implausible for this to be a GOOD film, or implausible to be made into a film? Cause it's getting made
