Movies

The other comic properties I named all made it to TV series, and I attribute their being well-known to crossing over.

CAPAM never did that, did it?  By this test, Wonder Woman is better-known, as is the Green Hornet.  

In Toronto, when I was growing up, comic books meant Archie and Jughead; they were around, but no one I knew actually bought them.  Geek readers went for Tolkien.  Perhaps its just an accident of timing that I grew up when war was out of fashion, and comics out of fashion, too.

I've seen some crazy things in my time playing this game but a 72% drop for a well-reviewed Harry Potter movie takes the cake TheWeekendWarrior Jul 24, 06:01

To be honest, I was looking at your figures all week.... VictorY Jul 24, 06:04

Thanks... Potter just evaded me completely but I did know that Captain America was going to do better than tracking. TheWeekendWarrior Jul 24, 06:12

You were so right, in fact, you were the closest to "Captain," among the ones I read... Solid call. {nm} VictorY Jul 24, 06:15

I was speaking with a couple of undergraduates yesterday, friends and fans of the Potter books, and they were almost furious about the film. second gary Jul 24, 07:43

Disagree about Captain America being a known quantity. I'd even bet that many would recognize the shield and character just by image alone. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 24, 07:45

Most would recognize the shield on its own. You don't get to be a 70 year old comic by not being known. ;) {nm} Dorfman Jul 24, 07:54

Captain America did have a movie. lol course it was a tv movie... 2 tv movies Dorfman Jul 24, 09:56

U mention Wonder Woman... DC did a better job of marketing their heroes for tv series. remember the Super Friends? lol {nm} Dorfman Jul 24, 09:58

Found an interesting link. Captain America Cartoon that never happened. Promo Reel at bottom of article Dorfman Jul 24, 10:02

I think Potter evaded most everybody {nm} Dorfman Jul 24, 10:04

It always was going to have a limited audience because you had to watch the previous 7 movies to see it. It was not by any means a stand pmb Jul 24, 08:35

When you take out the midnight, the drop is similar to what HP3 experienced, so not really totally unforeseen xiayun Jul 24, 11:29

A front-loaded finale? Unheard of! :) {nm} SparkleMotion Jul 24, 12:43
