Nick Fury And His Howling Commandos Influenced Inglorious Basterds

Pity we ain't got the REAL FURY in AVENGERS init lol!!

; D

CLASSIC FURY!! Of course, the ULTIMATE one sucks!!

This is Nick Fury (to me)..and always will be!


Ultimate fury is OK, and Jackson does a good job at playing him(I hope) but the original is ALWAYS the best.

Personally, I wasnt a huge fan of Inglorious Basterds - it was a good movie but I just dont think all that much of Taratino as a director even though some of his past stuff has been decent!

LEE: I prefer the regular Fury as well but not only is Sam Jackson a great actor but the character in The Ultimates was drawn to look him (his wife even contacted Bryan Hitch after for a piece of artwork featuring Fury to give to Jackson on his birthday!) I think they made a good choice casting SLJ as Fury - its not as if they just changed the characters race for the sake of it as they've seemingly done with Heimdell in Thor! :P

josh- YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!! LOL!

I prefer normal Nick Fury but the Ultimate ones fine. I hate the Ultimates themselves though, just take everything great about a character (like Hulk) and forget it. Instead of making Hulk a complex, misunderstood hero they tuirned him into some brute supervillain...thats pretty sh!t...HATE Ultimate Thor, I like Ultimate Iron Man and Cap..the rest are meh. I hope the Avengers movie won't be inspired by Ultimates too much...Hulk as the villain is probably the worst thing that could happen to that movie.

Ryden: I get your points but The Ultimates were supposed to be different - if they hadnt changed the characters then there would have been no point in the title existing! Though i prefer the regular Hulk, I found the Ultimate take on the character to be pretty interesting especially how different Banner was! :) I also hope the movies arent too influenced by them though - I want an Avengers movie, not an Ultimates movie! Some aspects like Cap's costume and him finding it hard to fit into the modern world would be ok but I'd rather they stick closer to teh classic characters!

BatmanKnight: I dunno, I actually found it a little boring in places! :P The scenes that were suposed to be tense (like the first part of the movie in the cottage) just dragged on too long until I was sitting there just wishing they'd get to the point already, lol! The action was great though and some parts of the movie (such as the bar scene with Michael Fassbender pretending to be a German) were brilliant!

i like ultimate fury better

@Josh- yeah the beginning scene was kind of long. But it payed off to see that happen lol. I'm not crazy don't worry lol. Michael Fassenbender was definitely one of the coolest people in that movie.

@Lee- Dude you casted Willis for Sgt. Rock lol. He cant be everyone. We dont want another Ryan Renolds.

Leee: Agree 100% about using the REAL Nick Fury, not the Ultimates one. I just don't care for seeing a great character with a rich history downgraded to a ripoff of a popular actor.

And if I wanted REALISM, I wouldn't be reading a COMIC BOOK. The fantasy element of people with fantastic and impossible powers doing battle is a large part of the FUN of comics to me. If I want REALISM, I'll go to a news site. Comics are an ESCAPE from all the crap that's going on in the world.

Exactly, realisim ruins the plot...it becomes less exciting.

HELL YEAH comicBookguy!!!! And exactly man 100% True!!!!

MarVell @ i mean DARTH MULDER why lol????

And [frick]ing ULTIMATE characters poluting the MARVEL movies is as bad as the CRAP FOX makes!!!

It's called....

SELLING OUT!

; P

same here Parker. The violence,the language...i just love it. I started watching cabin Fever but i stopped halfway. But i did watch Hostel 1 & 2 and i loved it.

Leee, its called...INSANITY! lol, how the hell is it selling out? They just started a new brand from the characters, no one is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to read them,,the classic comics are still there! So how is it "polluting" them? Its offering an alternative thats all..you don't like it, don't read it. The movies are just another take on the characters..like the Ultimate line. So, let them pick and choose if thats what works best. Personally I prefer Ultimate Cap, Thor and Pym..but thats just me. The Ultimates are not necessarily more realistic, just a bit grittier and more hard hitting. I do prefer the classics for the most part, but I read both on occasion. The new Ultimate Avengers by mark Millar is very good.

@ peterparker thank you sir

Siths rule.

@Rorschach -- Maintaining two separate, ongoing continuities dilutes the brand as a whole. Tough to get new fans involved when they find out that they can't expect even remotely consistent characterization and back story in most cases from one title to the next, sometimes even within the mainstream MU, much less adding Ultimate MU to the mix. It then makes it harder for people who aren't fanboys but are making the movies to choose what storylines and elements to use in the CBMs we all want. We wind up with a mish-mash of elements that don't go together but Hollywood types think will look cool. Look no farther than X3 for how kinda thing turns out. That's probably part of why LEEE doesn't like it, if we're thinking on the same lines. And Ultimate Nick wasn't the same as regular Nick until Origins came out and retconned it.

I'm an old-school kinda guy myself though, with my favorite era for Marvel ending right about the time of the original Onslaught storyline. I've read some of the Ultimate stuff and found most of it to be a less than enjoyable read, but then again, I've thought the same of most of the main Marvel universe stuff for the last dozen years or so.

As a long time Nick Fury fan (classic Nick, not that sorry ass wanna-be they made in SLJ's image for Ultimates), I suppose I'll have to bump Inglorious Basterds up on my list of movies to see, sooner rather than later.

Dark Knight Returns isn't an ongoing monthly collection of titles. It's a one-shot (or two if you count the sequel) graphic novel. Not remotely the same.

DarthMul-I mean-MarVell: Cool man - I like the new name/avatar! :)

LEE:Im guessing you've never read The Ultimates! As ROR said they're just grittier versions of the original characters set in what I would say is a slightly more realistic world (with superhumans being deployed to the Middle East etc) They havent and never will replace the original characters and if you're saying that The Ultimates are polluting the regular comics then I guess the same goes for the Zombie Marvel Universe as well? Thats an alternate take on the characters set in its own continuity just as The Ultimates are!!!

The fact is, a lot of what Millar introduced in The Ultimates should be used in The Avengers simply because it would make the movie better! In the original books there was very little focus on Cap being out of place in a modern world but The Ultimates handled that really well and I for one would like to see how a man from the 1940's reacts to a guy in a flying metal suit not just have him accept it because we as comic book fans could accept that maybe but the general movie going audience sure as hell wont!

ROR: I've fallen behind on Millar's Ultimate Avengers (I have the first two issues) but what I read was excellent (I miss Bryan Hitch though) In fact I'm heading off over to eBay to buy the ones Im short of - thanks for reminding me, lol! :)

@Ror -- I don't think it's ever a good idea for any company to divide up their resources for fans in the manner that currently exists, especially at the cost of comics these days. We'll have to agree to disagree on whether multiple ongoing continuities is bad or not for fans for now. Time will tell though.

@josh -- In the original Avengers and Cap books, there was quite a bit about Cap being lost in the changes in the world just from the 40s to the 60s. As the character has been around for multiple decades now though, it wouldn't make sense to still have him confused about seeing these things in the mainstream MU being so different from his time in WWII. He's put in more time since coming out of Suspended Animation than he did before it.
