Seth Rogen Talks About His Love Of Comic Books!

LOL, if he loves comics so much, whys he butchering GREEN HORNET!

Well by the trailer he is anyways lol... hopefully it'll turn out okay! : /

lee- we don't know that's hes butchering green hornet. because the movie looks good. from what i seen from it, it respect the show, Bruce lee fight skills in the show, and the comic.

Cary Elwes was on soccer AM this morning, and said he was annoyed when the umpire got a call wrong in the world cup.

It is along the same lines as "I like Marvel. I've kind of given up on DC at this point"

You don't know what you are talking about. stop trying to sound like you do

Oh first ever post

"I like Marvel. I've kind of given up on DC at this point"
Looks like he is a real comic book fan :P

i dont get why people hate on dc. yeah it went downhill for a awhile but now dc is back!. plus seth it looks like you ruined green hornet so please hush

@sweetre15: "Green Hornet was a serious character who handled things intelligently"

Say what? I take it you've never actually seen the original then?

He took HIMSELF seriously, for sure, but the joke was that more often than not, it was Kato who did all the ass and day saving, NOT the Hornet, who was mostly a bumbling fool of a rich boy PLAYING at being hero.

Sounds to me like Rogen and co. are taking their cues directly from that and adding a modern, knowing twist on it. Not overly hopeful having said that, considering all the production problems, but Rogen's one of the good guys in my book, so I'm happy to give him the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.

Vertigo are brilliant, but he's right in that mainstream DC seems to have lost the plot for the most part. Even if they've upped their game and improved recently I wouldn't know it, because I haven't picked up a DC book for years (and considering Superman is my all time favourite hero, you can guess how bad it must have been for me to do that - All Star Superman was probably the last DC comic I bought, and even that's not 'mainstream' DC, but an alternate reality).

DC's heroes seem stuck in the campy past for the most part and are much harder to relate to than Marvel's. I'm sure there are exceptions, but as long as they continue to have a laughing stock like Robin as a major character, there will be people like me who just can't take them seriously.

I know this will get me flamed, but it's how I feel. Flame on. ;)

@ jazzman

i was talking about after the dark knight,i forgot the watchman my mistake.

i think the avengers will survive without ant-man & the wasp,even though i want them in it big time.

you cannot measure the popularity of batman & superman to ant-man & wasp.

captain america & thor or captain & iron man is more like it.

avengers without one of them pairings ......epic fail.

ant-man & wasp ain't even in the same league.

@Seth Rogan
You sonovawhore! DC is the shit these days I mean WTF! Look at GL and Brightest Day and now a film is arriving. Look at Batman, he still owns. DC and Marvel are equal at this point. Look at the latest sales charts. Marvel and DC occupy all or most of the top 100 spots. In the top 10 they're both evenly stacked together. In the last decade they have been owning. I have given up on Image at this point. "Invincible" is kinda boring me now! Viltrumite War is shit it's like Superman arcs from the past mixed with other shit. The only Image comic book I love is "Walking Dead". Invincible's villains are so corny. Great now I'm rambling bout the shit I hate. But come one DC is killing as well as Marvel. I collect both companies' comics evenly. JLA and Avengers.

Seth...........Just keep your mouth shut for now on......

@Keithman: When I watched the Green Hornet TV show and based on what I've learned about the GH mythology,Britt Reid was a suave and debonair playboy but he wasn't irresponsible. He also use to help his dad at the Daily Sentinel before he died and he'd never shoot himself in the face with a gas gun. Yes they got Kato right but Hornet was capable of holding his own as well. Hell in the 1940's film serials(which I've watched on the internet) Kato wasn't even a martial artist before the 60's tv show and he didn't even really have a big part.
I wouldn't even mind some humor if it wasn't Rogen's typical brand of humor.

Here's a GH fan film that shows what a Green Hornet film could be like:



But I won't completely write this off just yet but I can see why the core fanbase is angered at the moment.

@deadpool72

i agree ant-man & the wasp not been in the Avengers is not a big deal but tell that to LEEE he will not agree lol.

was not measuring the popularity of batman & superman to ant-man & wasp at all. but some people still would want them in the Avengers.

as much Marvel Studio and i mean only Marvel Studio not the other studios who got the rights to marvel characters. they only produce 3 Marvel movies and one of their movies Iron Man 2 was good funny but it was not that great compare to its previous movie. also Marvel Studio dont know how to keep their actors to carry on in the next movie i.e. Terrence Howard and Edward Norton situation.

@Integrity

Edward Norton was not been a prick it was confirmed already. Terrance Howard might wanted more money but heres a thing he had a success they casted a actor who had a big profile then RDJ at the time. Iron Man was RDJ come back to film the first place if they wanted a cheap actor why did they casted a different actor the first place.

also you forget Marvel Studio was been cheap anyway Jon Favreau maybe would not return cause they did not wont to pay him too much money.

we all know all 3 movies was blockbuster movies but Iron Man 2 was not great compare to the first movie. i know about Thor and Cap is coming but im talking about the movies that has been released by Marvel Studio.

@deadpool72

really did not like the swapping the actors i like Don Cheadle but it was very hard for me to warm up to him in Iron Man 2.

i do agree with you about DC films you cant forgive that crap Jonah Hex was it that hard to make a simple western movie.

"I like Marvel. I've kind of given up on DC at this point." That's funny. I don't read DC ((though I read "Watchmen" and "V for Vendetta")). I have a friend who is going to let me read a lot of his "Green Lantern" stuff when we move back into the dorms. Even so. I REALLY loved Seth's comments. I'm looking forward to "Green Hornet". Before I saw the trailer: I hated the idea of Seth as acrime fighter, but when I saw the trailer at the theater: I was like "This is, actually, believable. How the hell is that possible?!" lol

@Josh: Thanks for posting this.

@jazzman: Yes they can do Luke Cage on a lower budget and the film would be great...Black Panther would require a bigger budget for the Wakanda scenery alone. Both of the movies have to get made and I believe they will.

Seth is a real tool.

I dislike DC also, Jeph Johns had Hal and Barry discussing death in the DC universe and stating that it was permintent. First issue of Brightest Day and they have the white ring bring a bloody bird back to life. [frick]ing bullshit.

@ blueorangeny - guess you forgot about the Siegel and Shuster stuff huh? or how about Bob Kane and Bill Finger issues. You are also assuming everyone feels the same way you do about IM2, I happen to think it did fantastic, and was a great success, while you think it feel short.
