Drifter Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 The live action movie needed more cowbell cape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Damn! I completely forgot Spawn did hamburger face in film before Deadpool. But I guess Freddy Kruger did it before both of them, so whatever. Did anyone here actually watch the HBO show? I heard good things about it, but by the time it rolled around to DVD I'd lost interest in the character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireDownBelow Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Viewed through the lens of a pre-teen, it was great. I don't know how it would hold up now that I can pass as an adult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Animation is very 90s, think X-men and WildCATS 90s cartoons. The plot is very good, adult oriented in it's themes and language (within reason, HBO at the time didn't like to show animated Child Murder); it also has a bit of a Aeon Flux feel to the story's atmosphere, but then again they have the voice actor for Trevor Goodchild voicing the big bad Director Wynn, and thankfully they didn't pussify the character this time either... I'm sorry, not even in Apocalypse Now have I found Martin Sheen even remotely threatening or sinister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 i think the animated holds up, but man, Todd's intros were cringey back then, so they must be amazing now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Nemo McFly Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 About freakin' tiiime! I've been waiting forever for an official announcement! I remember a time when we were supposed to be getting a 'Sam and Twitch' spin-off film. The HBO animated series is what the movie should've been - a hard-R adaption. The biggest flaw the movie had was the mass-market approach...ultimately a McFarlane decision. More ticket sales meant more money - and I guess that was his objective. It was a different time, there weren't 'superheroes' like that - the hard-R stuff...to me...was synonymous w/ that cape. So hyped for the live-action adaption! (sigh) So watered down and tame. Still, got it on blu - I love early attempts @ superhero film-adaptions...'specially w/ primitive cg...but, damn - that Hell sequence and Malebolgia were just...awful. Even more painful knowing that was ILM and how nice Violator looked during that alley brawl. Now, any comic book can be adapted...and be as hard-R as it wants. Great time to reintroduce Spawn. I want a legit tone adaption w/ that cape...HBO made it work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Looks like 100% approval for the animated series in here. I have HBO GO, so there's no real excuse for me to not at least try to give it a shot now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitant Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I was obsessed with the HBO show as a kid. I was really into Spawn back then...but those were simpler times. It'll take a lot for me to really get on board with a reboot/relaunch movie of spawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Michael Jai White, Martin Sheen and John Leguizamo better have cameos. Hell, John should just come back to play the Clown. He doesn't seem too busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Hell, John should just come back to play the Clown. He doesn't seem too busy. :( So, I remember my brother and I used to stay up late to watch this. In the mornings, we'd run to Ariel's house (or Nick's) and compare notes. Remember, The Nick?

Keth Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Ugh, I hate that tweet. Not only would Deadpool be just fine as a PG-13 movie, that tweet is pretty out of character for DP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Academy Award Winner Jamie Foxx is . . . SPAWN! Yeah. I can dig it. SPAWN Directed by Todd McFarlane. I've got a bad feeling about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitant Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Literally nothing about this sounds good to me. Then again, has Spawn ever really been good aside from the HBO show? I say this as someone who did read a butt-load of Spawn as a kid. It's a really cool universe that just seems to get bogged down with shitty writing. Someone sell me on the Jamie Foxx thing, seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) Todd Mcfarlane directing is way, way more worrisome than Jamie Foxx. Edited June 4, 2018 by Axels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
