Imagine a world where the owners of an IP actually appealed to the fans of the IP. I know sometimes you can expand your customer base with certain products but certainly not when you try to do it at the expense of loyal customers.

I’m honestly surprised they didn’t think to bring Snipes back for Blade sooner. Those movies were well liked. At least the first two. When it comics to comics, fans of super hero comics skews heavily male. Also it seems that women like seeing strong male superheroes as well. Female superheroes who exist to upstage males aren’t popular. Who would’ve thought.
If I was Disney I’d do a clean slate with Star Wars. Like you said, they went all in on this crap and got nothing. Maybe an animated Heir to the Empire adaptation to start
When did Snipes have legal issues with the IRS as I can't blame ANYONE being scared to involve him for a while when you had them close by..
There is a Youtube documentary on this.
Turns out his accountant was fucking him over and the government went after him anyway as a quick famous patsy to scare people into paying their taxes.
Oh yea. Good point
I would be only one voice but I am a woman and Superman is my favorite superhero (Reeves was my first favorite movie-wise) I have a few superman comics as well. I loved Star Wars (OT & PT), Star Trek Next Gen. I only watched Buffy for the guys (Spike/Angel) and I love some Die hard. I loved Batman with Michael Keaton first! Then of course Christian Bale.
I watch it to see men do bad ass shit and for the women to fall in love.
Superman is my favorite comic book as well (him and Spidey). If you haven’t read them yet, you may want to try the Star Wars EU (pre-Disney) of course. I enjoyed the dynamic of Superman and Lois.
But you prove the point that there were already women who like it as is.
My friends have suggested the EU as well, it’s on my list! Maybe once my kids are older I’ll get the time to get invested again. It just solidifies the fact that the EU was popular, so many suggesting it to me. I’m excited!
I got a few spoilers here and there and I much prefer a lot of how the EU took the main characters. I hate how Han Solo was ended in the sequels so much. I could go on and on about it, but I’m pretty sure I’m preaching to the choir on how much I hate the sequels.
Enjoy! I think you will like them. Also, as a lifelong comic book collector I can tell you that you can find a ton of Superman comics for pretty cheap.
