In a strange reversal of the theme of this site, we see that it can take over a decade before John McClane comes to comic books. Thank goodness that comic book fans "Die Hard."

LEEE777--What do you think about the Tick in 3D? That would be cool!

Yohon--I was about to say the same thing.
Betty
Betty - 5/30/2009, 12:04 PM
Hey Lee those costumes aren't bad! I love american maid. One of my favorites that wasn't in the comic. Her and the mad bomber. and bipolar bear.

LEEE777 - 5/30/2009, 1:45 PM
BETTY @ Dude, hell yeah THE TICK in 3D!!! Can go up against that AVATAR in 3D LOL! : D ... Seriously though, id luv that, not CGI though, gotta be LIVE ACTION! Get the guys back from the tv show an we got a winner!!! ; D

Don't get me wrong, i like CGI and Cartoons as much as the next guy, but for me these comic book movies on the BIG SCREEN have gotta be LIVE ACTION!!! Only movie i ever saw that i watched at the cinema, that was CGI was WALL-E an i didn't pay to see that either lol! Nahhh CGI don't do it for me, just feels like something that should go straight to DVD/BR! If they did it CGI or Animated, id feel i havn't got my TICK movie!!!

Sooooo your a TICK fan too @ BETTY @ Cool! SPOOOOOOOOON!!! ; D

Really though, if they got the guys back and brought back the LIVE tv show, which they should!!! (It would do so well now, easy! 100 times better than that No heroics remake, give me a break lol). Anyway, if they brought back the series, i wouldn't care so much what they did if it went to the Big Screen!!! Dammit, im talkin' to myself ain't i lol? Heh heh.

3D HEAVEN!!! Spoon!

Lee-- Oh yeah dude I'm a Tick fan from way back. I collected the comic and was EVEN a member of M.O.A.V. still got my straw and everything!

I gotta disagree with you though. I liked the live action show. It was funny it just didnt seem like the Tick to me. He comes from a comic where is drawn like a cartoon. I think 3D should be as far as he goes into realism.

Lee-- go to this link to become a true member of the Tick society!

SpiderBat209 - 5/30/2009, 10:09 PM
@Betty---You're right, Betty! 3D would be a better format for a TICK film!

Do it like, MONSTERS VS. ALIENS style and then just cast the people from the T.V. series to do the voice acting!

SWEET! :)

I have a confession to make... I too.... am a fan of the Tick. I loved the ephemeral live action show. My fav episode was the one with Ron Pearlman. The comics were completely insane and I watched the animated series as often as I did the X-Men TAS.

@SpiderMan209: It WAS awesome... until I found out my diva had a penis. Shit just went downhill from there.
