Now that Marvel has access to virtually their entire library of characters for movie treatment, there's no reason we cant get a proper Defenders team up on the big screen. They already have Hulk, Dr. Strange and Valkyrie established to anchor the non-team. Heck, they could even use the group as a lead up to their next big crossover film - live action Avengers/Defenders War, anyone?
Ha! Hopefully we'll see that in our lifetime! Maybe with Namor, too!
ReplyDeleteI remember when Firestorm joined the Justice League. JLA #179 was a pretty cool issue. I loved the splash page in there with all the previous "new" members... I think it's interesting that Alex Ross takes the Bronze Age up to Firestorm. That's really a change in the League right there...
I thought it was cool when Firestorm joined the Justice League too. His youthful enthusiasm brought a refreshing change to the league. Little did I know at the time that he would be the last member to join the classic "satellite era" of the league. I know that I'm an old fogey, but this is still the classic Justice League as far as I'm concerned.
ReplyDeleteOh,a live-action ADW would be excellent!
ReplyDeleteI could see this so much. You had Nova join the New Teen Titans and you have had the Defenders meet the New Teen Titans. How about a reteam of the Defenders and New Teen Titans with the 2 new members.
ReplyDeleteSweet cover. Look at Firestorm in the midst of all those iconic Defenders, just happy to be there. I still don't get why Alex Ross hates him though. Despite being a Marvel character in a the DCU, he was a pretty good addition to the classic Satellite era of the JLA.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dale, on all points. I personally put the end of the Bronze Age with the destruction of the JLA satellite.
ReplyDeleteUnrelated: I've been seeing the trailers for the upcoming Captain Marvel movie, and it's interesting to see how much Brie Larson resembles Melissa Benoist (TV's Supergirl). I think there can be some hope for a photo-cover with the Danvers Twins after the movie's been out for a bit.
"Love Will Tear Us Apart Again" - joy division.
ReplyDeleteMe? I put the start of the Bronze Age with the publication of COIE #12. Everything prior to that I divide into the Early and Late Silver Ages. The latter beginning with the series premier of BATMAN ('66) on ABC.
ReplyDeleteIf a mere commenter (who does try to visit every day to see what's new) can offer a suggestion....
ReplyDeleteI was actually happy to see that there's a link (as tenuous as it may be) between the British TV series Blakes' 7 and the Marvel Universe!

I can't help but wonder.... Both Blake's 7 and Star Trek have a "Federation". But they are drastically different. What would happen if the Enterprise and the Liberator met?
Richard, fret not. I was a "mere commenter" when Ross did Snow White and the 7 Soldiers of Victory!
ReplyDeleteThere's no such thing as a "mere" commenter. I treasure you all!
ReplyDeleteRoss there is such a thing as a Meerkat though. Hakuna Matata :)
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure it's just a passing craze.
