ITT: Movies based on obscure comics

I wonder if they'll make a sequel.
Katheryn Winnick checked a lot of boxes in that movie for me.

Good movie, even if the lead is a douche

Somehow turn four pages of Dan Clowes bitching about art school into a feature length film that has a mysterious serial killer.

So tell me, is the comic as much of torture porn shitfest as this was?
Because yeah, it had great moments (the killer chick was good, Mikkelsen was good, Kathryn Winnick was good also), but the amount of pointless torture scenes shaves off a lot of its positives.

>torture porn shitfest
Found the woman

Found the kid who jacks off to Millar comics and thinks the 90's were the pinnacle of the scene.

>Found the kid who
Whoa.
you could at least try not to sound like a walking buzzword using cunt.
Who the fuck talks like that
>shaves off a lot of its positives.
>torture porn shitfest
>pointless torture scenes
Are you a gamer journalist writer? You sound like an angry cunt that has at least 2 cats.

If you want "nice and positive" movie - watch Spiderman Homecoming. it has cute jokes and funny scenes.

You can calm down, imbecile. You sound like I ran over your cat or some shit, when I didn't even say it was bad, just that it focused on the wrong things.

Did you see we were having a nice thread and just had to come in and rub your shit all over the walls?

Why you replying to me and not to the buzzword-using imbecile?

I didn't even read the comics and don't even know the source material/author so you're wrong here. I just liked the action and how this actor looked.

And pretty clearly offended at a simple opinion. Imagine dragging an entire thread down just because you disagreed with someone.

Because you're the piece of shit no one wants, who cares about their buzz words? Let them live their own shitty life

>not liking torture porn in action movies
The torture scenes in action movies always were the pinnacle of masculinity struggle.
This why in old 70-80s action movies main hero gets captured and tortured - just to escape / struggle with pain and get over that going on a revenge at the end.
This is a whole point
This why i answered with "found the woman" because that poster was clearly not the target group of the movie and don't understand why torture scene is pretty much needed

You're not that interesting.

>Finds violence in the movie gratuitous so it must be a woman
How does it feel to be a teenager who gets off on "displays of masculinity"? Like, what mindset is this? Being "gay" like you said isn't an excuse.

but you are
Just look from a different point of view at this ridiculous writing:
>is the comic as much of torture porn shitfest as this was?
>the amount of pointless torture scenes shaves off a lot of its positives.
EWWW...IT JUST KILLS ALL THE POSITIVE FEELINGS :(
WHY THIS MOVIE IS NOT NICE... UGH! I JUST...I JUST CANT!

Not to mention that girls that are not fem-incels pretty much fucking love this movie because it has nice female lead and great and complicatedrelationship with the character - stuff you wont see in generic capeshit movies

Would "Happy!" count? I don't see much discussion of the series in here (if at all), and it's Morrison so it can't be too obscure, yet...
Also I really fucking love the show and Christopher Meloni, so there's that.

I remember watching this movie from time to time when i started to be a freelance artist back in 2009. It helped me to go through that painful part where artist questions himself too much instead of focusing on art
I wish there were more movies about art-life/art schools and art careers like this one that is not about some famous super-artist

Wasn’t*

The costumes really bothered me. It’s autism I know, but they looked so uncomfortable. Why couldn’t they have just worn white fabric, was that deemed unrealistic?

This was based on a comic?

I liked the movie a lot and I was gonna post it, but wasn't sure whether it was "obscure" enough considering it's well known in Europe.

Yeah, flaming carrot

No idea, but it tried to do a lot and did well for its scale

How similar are they to the source material?

Fair enough, cause that the punishment for living in “hambergerland”

I tried specifically odering a copy that ahd this cover on amazon yet i stil got the tv cover

It was pretty good, glad Morrison is succeeding as a producer.

The second season has been bonkers so far, and it really feels like it's going full Morrison too in some episodes. The influence is palpable.
Amazon is always tricky about those things, it's why I don't trust it. InstockTrades, CheapGraphicNovels or bust.

You can find out for yourself at some random comic browsing site like readcomicsonline.to or whatever other shithole you can find.
I thought the movie either missed the mark as an adaptation, or just preferred being a John Wick knockoff. I didn't hate it but I was underwhelmed.

The characters look ridiculously stylized and over the top but the movie is not stylish at all. Instead it's incredibly sleazy, grimy and gritty. It's a combination I haven't seen before and it was super fun.

What the fuck Happy, even season 1 is not on netflix. Is it because I'm in Ausfaglia? I watched it when I was in Asia with my Yuropean account

Eh, I discussed it with some French normies and they had no clue, sure they'd heard of Luc Besson, but not Tardi

>normies
found the problem, the longest thing they read these days are tweets
still wouldn't call him unknown, anyone who cares a bit about BD's knows him

I remember quite liking the comic, but it has been a while.

>Lol burned.

Smells lonely.

I download it weekly, like I do with every series... Full blown piratefag here (though I do have Netflix but meh). The show is on SyFy so maybe that's why its availability differs.
I think the second season is halfway in anyway, close to ending. No word on season 3 but it hasn't lost any steam.

Does Snowpiercer count? I don't know how popular the comic was in france.

I met the guy who wrote this once at comic con. Really nice guy, quiet but nice.

Comic is obscure I believe.
Other movies I was suprised with when I found the comic:
The Losers (similiar)
RED (quite different)
Bad Kids go to Hell (if you are into semi-horror comic)
Dragon Tiger Gate
Bulletproof monk (unlike the comic)

Wasn't All Star made for this movie?

>The characters look ridiculously stylized and over the top but the movie is not stylish at all. Instead it's incredibly sleazy, grimy and gritty. It's a combination I haven't seen before and it was super fun.
I was starting to worry, This movie was obnoxious and dumb and mistook high saturation for having a style.

I wouldn't really say Ghost World is obscure

How often is it posted?

It was originally a French comic illustrated by an American which was published in the English-speaking world as a miniseries by Dynamite.

I thought the same thing about Mystery Men but folk here were surprised

As far as indie books go it's probably one of the most well known.

I guess it's not as relevant as it used to be but I'd say it's pretty surface level within it's niche/genre.

I guess this was popular back in the day, but now nobody remembers the comic.

Unironically based.

Polar was one of the most tonally confusing movies I've seen. I honestly liked everything about Vanessa Hudgens' character and performance but it doesn't mesh at all with the rest of the film. I think it's a shame too because I think that core concept would make for a much more interesting story then Shittier John Wick. Should I check out the comic?

>much more interesting story then Shittier John Wick.

writingexplained.org/then-vs-than-difference

I really like this movie.

The use of Smash Mouth only makes it a 9/10 for me.

Why would do that to yourself?

[citation needed]

Those lesbian sex scenes were awful.

What bombs did Tim Burton make at the time?

His two previous films before Mystery Men came out were Mars Attacks and James and the Giant Peach. James certainly wasn't a flop.

James and the Giant Peach was directed by Henry Selick.

Mars Attacks is amazing. Hell, it has the cast it did because folk realized it would be a cult hit

What a faggot

You should not glorify torture.

what comic book is this based on?

Some Vertigo book from the 90's, somebody else can tell you which.

Did you have fun with Thanos in the closet?

>Mars Attacks is amazing.

Wasted potential.

it really only adapted 2/3 of the book and took out the wraparound

Everybody wanted that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles money; whether it was the "goofy cartoon" money or the "gritty live-action movie" money, they wanted it.

How obscure is Martin Mysterie, and m. Rex,

Martin Mystery had comic books?

It's Italian..
Dark Horse tried to translate some

Why would Canadians animate an Italian property?

The show was produced by Marathon Media Group (French television production company based in Paris), Rai Fiction (Italian production company), and Image Entertainment Corporation (a Canadian production and animation company based in Montreal)
Because Canadians are weird.,,
