[QUOTE="Grifter86, post: 854700, member: 2540"] Hey, what you got against the Invisibles, bub? Not necessarily about sticking it to the man either, never said they were doing battle with the government, interesting that you associate darks things in mans heart with it though. Gives an old gamer some hope... Actually, the Invisibles is a dead on comparison, because in the Invisibles the action takes place in a laboratory where AIDS was bioengineered, and in the X-Men it has Wolverine and the gang storming into the secret conspiracies laboratory, seeking a cure for the legacy virus. Never noticed that before. Thanks. I think what appears on paper is a pretty clear indication of what will appear onscreen, though. I mean, a solid script is pretty obvious. If you were to take Fritz Lang's "M" and compare it to another artsy flick like "The Ice Storm" it's pretty obvious which one will come out on top. And I would argue that the source material is immediately transmuted by work done by anyone other than the original author. Take a look at Superman, Batman, and even the X-Men. They've gone through so many different treatments that they've been effectively bastardized if you compare them to the original material. When you enjoyed the X-Men, was the original Stan Lee? Or was it another author? And do you despise the current story arc of the X-Men? Obviously "source material" is a phrase difficult to define. Whose source is it? Do you prefer the first issue of Batman, or do you like Frank Miller's Batman? Which Green Lantern do you prefer? Hal Jordan or Kyle Rayner? Neither is an original. The comic book writer doesn't necessarily stay true to the material, in fact people enjoy it when their favorite are reinvigorated or reincarnated. Edited: For being mean. [/QUOTE]
