[QUOTE="Kaleon Moonshae, post: 1670962, member: 12147"] OK, and I agree with your point. Although then you also must think that spiderman, hulk, superman and other books to movies can be done whatever they want with, with no thought of the fans. I am sorry, but I see that as a little unfounded. I have already stated that if this is the near future it works. Oh, and btw, go back and rewatch the second predator movie, the predator is not depicted as a monster towards the end but as a race of hunters who know what honor and nobility are. The one who came to earth that time was beat and the others rewarded LGJ with a pistol and promised to leave earth alone. You talk about licensing and that is important. The novels and the comics are backed by the creators of both products and have stated that that is what they consider cannon, if you do not agree with that, ok, but they are the creators and it is *their* choice since they own it. Do I think they have to go with continuity, no, but expect fans of the series to redicule it some just as they have with batman forever, catwoman, daredevil, xmen, and the first punisher. If you are going to ignore some of the fans, which is what it sounds like you are stating (fans don't matter, accepted cannon doesn't matter, this is a movie not a book) then expect some of the fans to be a little unhappy. That is all I am getting at. As a fan of the cannon (cannon, btw, means what the *creators* deem standard and within the storyline) some of the things they are doing in this version bothers me a bit, just as some of the stuff they did in alien 4 bothered some people who have followed the authors for a long time. Your idea sounds like justification for them to make the new green lantern movie. Who cares if Jack Black (whom I love) doesn't fit any of the roles of green latern and the story completely goes against the timeline, it's a movie and green latern is a book and never the two shall meet.
