Movies

They've had a lot of success with dark shows. Daredevil, Jessica Jones, etc. {nm}

Posted by: masonacj on Feb 15, 12:04 in response to Moviesnob's post Marvel's never really had a "dark" film

Article about Deadpool spawning more R-Rated superhero movies. It mentions LOBO, The Crow, Shazam amongst others tomcat90 Feb 15, 10:47

You forgot the ? It's speculation, opinion. {nm} Antibody Feb 15, 10:52

Shazam has never been R-Rated, Shazam can be a PG-Rated movie if they want. {nm} reelreptile Feb 15, 10:55

Shazam??? R rated would totally be opposite the history of the comic. {nm} Baron_Darcon Feb 15, 11:35

Any suggestions as to which will be the next 'Dark' Marvel breakout? {nm} hyperzeitgeist Feb 15, 10:59

Or non-Marvel come to that...no doubt studios will be dusting down obscure projects from the reject pile as we speak. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Feb 15, 11:02

Marvel's never really had a "dark" film {nm} Moviesnob Feb 15, 11:03

I take that back. Blade was pretty dark {nm} Moviesnob Feb 15, 11:04

No time like the present :) {nm} hyperzeitgeist Feb 15, 11:08

like i said yesterday, i think its wiser to be more fun than dark {nm} Moviesnob Feb 15, 11:16

Isn't that where Deadpool struck the sweet spot: Dark and fun. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Feb 15, 11:26

I havent seen it, but the tone of the marketing was the exact opposite of dark. I'd be surprised audiences responded so positively if the Moviesnob Feb 15, 11:27

Maybe we have a different definition of 'dark'. I'd describe it as gallows humour and hyperreality rather than an oppressive drear hyperzeitgeist Feb 15, 11:39

then i would say "dark humor" as opposed to "dark film" {nm} Moviesnob Feb 15, 11:51

I stand corrected :) {nm} hyperzeitgeist Feb 15, 11:55

i don't consider Deadpool dark. It's funny, and it's anti hero, and yeah he makes fun of things that should be serious, but not dark movie {nm} Dorfman Feb 15, 11:54

**SPOILERS** Dorfman Feb 15, 11:55

Punisher {nm} jwammo Feb 15, 11:29

didnt break out {nm} Moviesnob Feb 15, 11:30

Even so, the most recent Punisher flick was very dark. Maybe they haven't had a dark hit, but they have been willing to go there. {nm} Willroast Feb 15, 15:05

Moon knight {nm} Baron_Darcon Feb 15, 11:44

Would like to see an R rated Legion of Monsters movie DanU Feb 15, 12:02

how about DC's dark universe? seems to me it might lean towards an R rating. not saying it should or shouldnt, but it has the potential {nm} horrorfanatic Feb 15, 11:30

Well, while we're at it why don't they just dive right into X-rated Wonder Woman? Scratch that, it's already been done. {nm} MoneyMagnet Feb 15, 12:07
