When my friends and I were playing Who Am I with characters, the default question to determine if the subject was in the Marvel Universe was "Have you met the Fantastic Four?"

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I found this in the Highlander thread at TWoP:
Word has it, Adrian told some fans yesterday at a U.K. con that both Peter and Jim will be in the new HL movie. David A. shared excerpts from the original script he had written at the recent con in Australia. In it Duncan and Methos were in a sword fight to the death, but in the end they couldn't kill each other, because "they love one another" (his quote), and so they both walk away bloodied and weakened, but alive. Since he wrote that script for the movie production company that went belly up, and the HL rights have now reverted back to Panzer-Davis (which is a very good thing in my opinion), he now is in the process of rewriting this script (he is putting the finishing touches on it right now), because you cannot even plagiarize yourself (complicated legal stuff).
I don't know how true it is. At least the new HL movie can't be worse than Endgame. right?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

God, I'm such a sucker, because if this is in the movie? I'm so there.

Thrive to spite them
I suddenly flashed on all the really earnest, but really bad vids (most likely to sarah mclachlan) that will be made if that's in the movie.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Fantastic Four launched Marvel as a superhero company. (Kirby and Lee had already been working together on monster comics.) They're definitely in the pantheon of Major Heroes, and the first 100 issues are all essential for creating the Marvelverse. Mas importante (in the comics world anyway).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

They said the same thing about Highlander II: The Quickening

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's amazing how little perspective I have on who knows what about comics without being a reader. I figured that everyone knew Batman's parents had been killed, for instance.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The Fantastic Four may well have been the very first comic book characters I discovered. When I was really really young, I read some sort of a children's book about them. You know, with very little text and lots of colorful pictures. I may have crushed on the Invisible Woman.

I've never read a Batman comic and I knew his parents have been killed. I don't know where I picked that up, though.

Always Anti-fascist!
I used to read the FF comic a lot, when I read comics.
