HOLY SHITBALLS!!! PLEASE MAKE AGE OF APOCALYPSE LIKE THAT!!! :))

I'd love to learn how to make "motion comics" and flash animation! That would be cool :))

I'm not sure if I like these motion comics... Cartoons are much better... or like LEE said just make the movie.

AWESOME! Astonishing was THE best X Men story arc in many years! This is great! It looks perfect
StephenStrange
StephenStrange - 9/1/2009, 10:30 AM
Xandra and LEEE777, no one in Hollywood would do this justice. That's a fair statement considering...

LEEE777 - 9/1/2009, 10:33 AM
DARTH @ I meant a animated feature but im sure MARVEL STUDIOS when they get the rights back, would have a good crack! ; )

Oh yeah check out NEWS, TEEN WOLF the series! ; D



GO THERE!!!

Yay basic animation/flash overload! Honestly not a fan of this, read a damn book, make a full on animated movie, or make it live action, this half ass shit is weak.
LexLuthor
LexLuthor - 9/1/2009, 10:37 AM
Motion comics are alright. You guys should check out the Watchmen motion comic if you haven't.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 9/1/2009, 10:39 AM
Stublin @ Im not really a lover of the motion comic either, tried watching the WATCHMEN, i tried lol.

Much better reading it! Id rather so a ANIMATED movie, will all the crap MARVEL cartoon movies you'd think they'd make great ones like these an be competition for DC!

Xandera @ ; )

LexLuthor @ I have, much better reading the comic book series and watching the live action movie!

P.S. TEEN WOLF was a comic book! ; D

i saw this same trailer at new york comic con in february! it looks really cool, but at the same time its just not the same as having the actual issue. i can't see digital comics completely taking over, and floppies going the way of the dodo. people think this will be the future of comics, i just don't see it happening.

@ anil

thats funny, deadly genesis is known among fans as being one of the worst xmen stories ever. i personally liked it too, though lol. age of apocalypse is the best xmen story in history as far as im concerned!
Matrix
Matrix - 9/1/2009, 11:17 AM
@ Shaman Ooooh man, if they made Age of Apocalypse like this? Craaazy. Onslaught/Operation zero tolerance would be awesome too.
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 9/1/2009, 11:25 AM
@ matrix

onslaught would be cool! but i just cant see myself paying for this AGAIN. i already have all the issues of onslaught and AOA. i can't justify paying for it again just because now there's sound and semi-animation.
Shaman
Shaman - 9/1/2009, 11:41 AM
Matrix & Corndog- Actually i don't have those series and i'd love to buy the animated comics :))
thwhtGuardian
thwhtGuardian - 9/1/2009, 11:43 AM
wow that looks like the best motion comic to date
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 9/1/2009, 11:57 AM
Nothing beats the real comic! ; )
thwhtGuardian
thwhtGuardian - 9/1/2009, 12:02 PM
I've never read it, it seems similar to the plot of X3 though
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 9/1/2009, 12:12 PM
@ shaman

if i didn't have the issues i'd probably want it too, man!

@ whtknight

the cure aspect from X3 was taken from this story arc, but thats where the similarities end. this is a very good story, actually, the entire run is fantastic! some might even call it...astonishing? okay that was bad...
StephenStrange
StephenStrange - 9/1/2009, 12:14 PM
thwtknight: I highly recommend it. Whedon's Astonishing X men. They are all available in TP
StephenStrange
StephenStrange - 9/1/2009, 12:14 PM
Cornydogburgler: it would be if it weren't so damn TRUE lol
LexLuthor
LexLuthor - 9/1/2009, 12:18 PM
@ LEEE It's not that the motion comic is trying to replace real page-turner comics... it's just another medium in which they could tell stories with a cheaper budget than full on animation. And hey it looks cool and artsy.

Hey if they can do this with the big arcs and crossovers it would be cool. I hate x-men because it sometimes gets too complicated with the issues.

@ LEE Please chg your avatar,i getting confused with tyler. But yes that was pretty good, ?But cartoon is still better.

That Astonishing X-Men run was the one that really made me appreciate Cyclops. Whedon wrote him as a no nonsense leader who even Wolverine knew to back down from. That was also the book that really got me heavily collecting again.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 9/1/2009, 2:32 PM
SPOCK @ Heh heh heh!

LEX @ I know that lol, just ain't for some of us thats all!

LONGBOW @ Get WHEDON on X4! ; )

I have the first issue of Astonishing and the trailer pretty much explained it. lol thats really all that happened in the first issue. Looks pretty cool.

Hawksblueyes - 9/1/2009, 3:29 PM
@longbowhunter---- check out Clairmonts run on X Men with Bryne years ago, in my opinion it was the only run that did Cyke any justice. Once Wolverine grew in popularity the writers all forgot about Cyclops being the badass calm cool leader.

Crazy, I have the 1st astonishing x-men trade (issues #1-#6) and it looks just like it, wow

theres a girl with no shirt on at 44 seconds hehehehehe

Hawksblueeyes, Thank you I most certainly will!

Motion Comic huh. Is that how they really look if so I like. It's a different feel than cartoons I like the grittyness if that's a word.

DBZalltheway - 9/1/2009, 10:40 PM
ahhh dont like it
Matrix
Matrix - 9/1/2009, 11:32 PM
@ Corndog - I'm with you there.

@ Shaman - I hightly recommend both. Operation Zero Tolerance if you're an Iceman fan and the Onslaught series if you're a fan of awesome. :)

@ longbowhunter

yeah, whedon does cyke justice. its funny, because most fans don't like cyke. he's easily my favorite xman. and if you read interviews with writers who have written on any xmen title, they will also say that cyke is one of their favorite of all characters to write. he's so layered, and such a cool, brilliant tactician, the likes of captain america. when it comes down to it, captain america always finds a way to do what it takes to get the job done, no matter what obstacle pops up. but cyclops had an answer for said obstacle 10 minutes ago, like he plans for every eventuality. lol. he's the man!

Look i dont have time to post on all the threads i want to.... but, i dont have time i said!

@CornDogBurglar- Hey some people like having sex with donkeys.... and some people like "Cyke" more than the rest of the X-Men.
