But these movies arent really for casual comics fans, because remember even casual comics fans had no idea who the Guardians of the Galaxy were pre movie.

Ok maybe its a me issue here then. Or maybe it just reads differently in the 60's when the book was written and people bought into JC’s idea that all stories are the Hero’s Journey.

All they had to do was take the original Heroes for Hire concept, maybe making Danny either broke or not in charge of Rand, and keep it street level. They can start fighting criminals, drawing from both their backgrounds, and have the bad guys keep escalating in power the more they win. Bring in Misty and Coleen as…

“A modern screenwriter could always make the female characters more interesting.” I am not sure. How much can they change them and not change the story? It will be interesting to see how both Irulan and Chani are changed for this version.

You are not. But it does show that Netflix is investing in Sci Fi, I guess?

I dont know, Venom and Venom2 gave them a lot of money to throw down the hole, making 1.3bn on a combined budget of 226M.

The problem is that the writing is very dated for all the female characters, few of them translate well to the world of the 2020's.

Lynch’s movie is pretty book accurate for the character though. She is primarily a mechanism for exposition who is then brought in at the end as a Deus ex Marriage solution for Paul to take over.

Ok so Irulan gets more to do than the book (where she is almost non existant).

With Lobo he is playing a very different character, will be under a TON of CGI and likely is doing little more than an extended cameo or small role.

She did a fine job in a terrible movie, but that movie was TERRIBLE and why would they not take the chance to make a clean break from the overall bad DCEU?

Aw man i read that as Alex Jones, like the talk radio conspiracy nut Alex Jones!

That looks fantastic!

I saw this in the theaters the first time.

It is VERY late stage capitalism though. You are your job. You can only comment on your job.

She’s not running for anything. Hasnt since 2016 when she lost.

Or, alternately, people are saying “Yes, this was a better acted role and better directed movie than one of the other 5 nominees”.

None of that changes the fact that it is an ironic situation where in the “Real” world it is Ken getting a nom and Barbie not, which is exactly what Ken took away from it when he learned about Patriarchy and thought it was so awesome.
