ITT: forgotten /co/ adaptions
>>152027561Who was the actress? How good was she?
>>152027575Gena Lee Nolin. Fine for this sorta role
Ultraforce cartoon
Gen 13 movie
>Aquaman got a game before Wonder Woman
>>152027561I watched what there was of the 50s series a few years ago.
>>152028604How was it?
>>152027643Gen 13 in general is basically forgotten
>>152030015Damn...
>>152027582Marvel had a few of these
>>152030684
>>152027582Huh. I definitely don't remember this..
>>152030693How does this image for an actual live action series with real actors manage to look AI-generated?
>>152030684I remember they got off on the wrong foot with the target tumblrites during a convention presentation about this. They tried to do the meme of "there are only two genders" , basically saying "cloak fans and dagger fans" but the eternally offended took it as an anti trans, anti non binary line even though all of those freaks make the "there are only 2 genders" jokes all the time.
>>152030693I really liked the first 3-4 volumes of this comic back in the day. It's relatively grounded all considered but I'm wondering how nerfed the raptor had to be to save on costs.
>>152032266Actors are shit.
>>152029647Okay, a bit too much emphasize on the chimp at times.
>>152027629Didn't even know this was a thing til now
>>152027643Its not bad but the comic is better
>>152027561People forget that the episodes were all adapted from actual EC comic stories.
>>152034696Even this one?
>>152034811...But wait, there's more!(that's Nana Visitor on the right, pre-DS9)
>>152034832...Didn't recognize the name at first but that's Sam J. Jones on the left, aka Flash (Aa-aaaa) Gordon, speaking of which....
>>152030693It's a shame the series turned out to be utter shit and the writers/producers/directors seemingly completely ignored the entire point of the comics.I wonder if anyone on that production team worked on the Witcher.
>>152030684Couple more to add to that Marvel list:
>>152035446>>152030684
>>152035494Hell of a lead cast, I gotta see this for meself
>>152034811Holy shit this was so fucking bad
>>152035267Wow, so lame. Netflix?
>>152036638Eh, I liked it, but my standards seem to've dropped in my dotage.>>152036673Nope. Sci-Fi Channel. And yes, it was very lame.
both Red Sonja movies
>>152036877Here is Jubilee taking her top off in front of Emma from that movie
>>152037064People are too hard on the original. Its light on plot but the production design is fantastic
>>152035446T'was kinoKino indeed.
>>152034832Hadn't even ever heard of thisThink I might have to see if it is available anywhere
This is actually based off an early web comic from the 00s.
>>152037824>light on plotDark on fight scenes. I mean that. Most of the indoor scenes you can't see shit.
>>152038553It's a failed TV pilot, and it shows.
>>152037064Three if you count that "animated, but barely" one.
>>152028095>Check in>Arthur has a harpoon for a handBased
>>152028095>>152038764

>>152027561The Human Target somehow got TWO TV shows.
/co/ stage musicals are something I've always been fascinated with. Superman, Bananaman, Funky Winkerbean... now there's some lost media for you
>>152040171>Funky Winkerbean stage musicalThat sounds horrifying
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmwhryr4CQg
>>152039206Loved that show
>>152040249It came out in the late 80s, just before the first time skip so it wasn't the depressing mess we have now
Literally one of my top 3 comic book movies
>>152040534
Mostly forgotten adaptation of a mostly forgotten comic. Really great fun tho. Basically JAG, 1958 edition.
>>152027629I saw this on Tubi TV so hopefully it's in semi decent quality, the only uploads I've seen aren't the best
>>152037824I think what always stuck out for me about Red Sonja was how hard they had to try to make it look like Sandhal Berman couldn't immediately break Bridgette Nielson in half. She was so good. Real crying shame she never became a bigger star thanks to typical type casting BS.
>>152027561Also a Sheena movie
I remember watching this on SyFy as a kid but despite reading Marvel never made the connection
Never got into the show but it was on in the background sometimes late at night.
>>152039092Oldfag hereWas a big fan of the comic and since it was so well grounded it should have worked but it was dumbed down with dreadfully humorless actor playing Sable (he's quite gregarious in the comic) who was dying of AIDS while filming. Gene Simmons shot the pilot for the series but couldn't make it synchronize with his touring schedule and I often wonder if it would have worked better.
>>152041044Does the nerd dude from that ever get to bang her?
>>152040171They ALMOST made a Captain America musical in the 80's and yes it would have been dreadful.
>>152040569Caught some of these on Tubi, pretty good for it's time actually but very little resemblance to the comic strip.
>>152041185Hope a recording turns up some day. John Cullum is great. I assume based on the casting and some of the song titles that it’s supposed to be about an old Cap out of place in modern 80s America getting his mojo back or something, so he looks goofy sort of purpose I guess.
>>152041128Man the 90s Malibu era was weird
>>152041255>Princess Kitana as Vampirella>Roger "Won't fool me again" Daltrey as the main villainThe production may be Corman level but seeing Talisa in comic accurate wear and Roger's acting makes it worth a watch.
>>152041027now this looks interesting! At least judging from the cover.>>152041062I saw this one on cable years ago. Tanya Roberts was looking damn good in that short little leather getup she wore. Lots of leg & ass on display and she gets topless once or twice.
Remember when marvel hired Mad House to make anime adaptations. Most of them weren't very good but X-men was decent.
>>152027759iirc two major celebs cosplayed as her for Halloween so maybe cult classic status,
>>152041505
>>152041331The plot had Cap never having been frozen and he aged normally. He's dating the female President of the USA who gets kidnapped and while he tries to rescue her he picks up a plucky girl as a new sidekick who helps him get through his mid life crisis. I think the end takes place at Mount Rushmore where the villain (a generic James Bond villain type) has a secret HQ. From what I've heard the tone is basically Adam West Batman with songs. I know some of them have trickled on youtube.
>>152041505>>152041551I am STILL pissed we didn't get Hammond at the end of No Way Home
did anyone watch this? is it good?
>>152041902It had a very slim section which was decent, but it was not good overall.
I remember it being pretty alright and then got cancelled because of taxes or some dumb shit.
>>152034811>MY MOVIE SUCKS
>>152041044It's not often those kinds of comics get adaptations.
didn't crossed get a movie adaptation made in china or something?
>>152041902Dreadful, you'd think Office humor in the DCU would be a slam dunk but no...
>>152042311Does it still count as forgotten if it's currently on the disney+ front page?
Liv was cute.
>>152037824Watching Conan and this back to back was bizarre. Red Sonja felt like it had a higher budget (what with the robot shark), but it was a much more boring, poorly shot movie. Nothing managed to reach the heights of even just Conan and his crew in bizarre zebra body paint, for some reason, when it came to engaging scenes.
>>152036673Can't be Netflix, looks way too colorful.
>>152035446Legion was better than all of MCU slop, including Netflix shit.>>152041128I love it. It's pure 90s cheese but in a charming way
>>152043388Shut up, salty faggot
>>152043404t. butthurt MCUtard
>>152035411Underrated movie.
>>152041027This movie is fucking insane.
>>152027561Firebreather
>>152041084I remember the director saying if it did well they wanted to include Howard the Duck in the sequel
>>152041598I feel like this show was starting to mutate into something decent before it was cancelled. The start was rough but there was some potential there.
>>152041044milk.
>>152040459It's really good. And I think of Judah Friedlander in it anytime I see Revenge of the Nerds. Paul Giamatti as Harvey Pekar is a perfect casting as well.
>>152041255>mogged nearly thirty years later
>>152042307We can go deeperhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIiZFa4xw5whttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnVrJXv4M1Uhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLSghgZxIHAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H5zXh6MVvg
>>152044765Ah, yes, that odd era of Swamp Thing Mania.
>>152043304Indeed
>>152034811I unironically like this movie.I don't get what people were expecting it's a campy comic movie.
what about the other way around? /tv/ adaptations in /co/ format that are so obscure no one knew they existed in the first place
>>152040536intriguing
>>152041493>Tanya RobertsI want to say she was in one of my grandpa's playboys when the movie came out
I fucking loved this show
I think I'm the only one who liked this movie, but I never read any DD or Electra comics, so
>no one remembers Mysterymen but meFeels bad, man.
>>152047287It's probably most well-known for the Smashmouth music video
https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/celeb/
>>152030666dont be sad, satan
>>152040680Sandhal was a genuine 10/10, incredible woman, Nielson looked sad next to her.
Remember when DC tried to push Naomi hard
This wasn't bad. Actually had a pretty good Doomsday and Brainiac
A Archie/Riverdale spin-off no one cared about at all
>>152027561Locke & Key was underrated
I recall this being fine but forgettable.
>>152048436The BBC has loads of these, especially for radiohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E3VXC1KmlMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oeX00uXi-Qhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpPBU_d3fIIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrLB93PTuKshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sy3sy_PNuwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kMr7YWdiJMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJIlMBRSJOghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYM5KLeRoUAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCZQBaef7Zchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73DU0HSmEGohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEDgTYMPPRI&t=20s
>>152049051Oh, I forgot onehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBivFA4sN7s
>>152035457/tv/ was in love with the chick who played Polaris for awhile. Apparently she wound up living in a van after the show ended.
>>152036877"I now will show off my evil science powers by making the entire room fart on cue."
>>152038052I find it kind of strange that with how kid-friendly Disney's been making the Disney+ shows they haven't done Power Pack yet. Maybe because they can't figure out which kid to make an adopted black kid.
I forget, was this supposed to be in continuity of the Blade films?
>>152027629>>152027643Wildcats got a show too
>>152041902Basically it had mutated from a DC version of Damage Control in the original pilot to an unfunny version of Better Off Ted written by people who've never read a comic book. Whoever cast Alan Tudyk in a DC show and didn't make him Ted Kord was a fucking moron. Also, outside the last season of HIMYM Cristin Milloti is the female Mark Feuerstein.
>>152050078Somehow was worse than the previous reboot. This did however have my waifu Adeline Rudolph in it.
>>152044765I remember loving the early nineties Swamp Thing, along with The Flash. I haven’t revisted it and I’m worried it might not hold up, but I remember the vibes from the show always worked on me.
>>152044800Yeah, this really was a thing in the early nineties. I loved the Swamp Thing toys too.
>>152046597Still the best live-action Flash adaptation. I did like how they brought the actor back to play Jay Garrick in the last show in addition to Barry’s dad—and he even played this Flash in that show.
>>152040232That's the look of someone who's definitely satisfied with how their career turned out
>>152049895She's also a boy now.
>>152050729The role literally killed him.
>>152028095From a quick look at a game play video, this game actually looks kinda sick.
>>152040232>>152050729Purcell was so devoid of charisma that it kind of looped around and made him likable
>>152027643I do kinda wish Gen 13 got a resurgence since Invincible's popularity, but I don't know what DC would attempt
>>152041710I’ve been looking into this today and here’s what I discovered for anyone who cares. Some guy on Reddit has three versions of the script but won’t share them. There was a YouTube video about the press kit that is now dead. There are a few versions of the song “No One Asked Me To Lead a Parade” on YouTube. John Cullum performed that song on a radio broadcast called Broadway Applauds Lincoln Center, which is not on YouTube outside of a snippet of the first few minutes and seems otherwise unavailable. Here is a somewhat cringe but informative video about the show that included a second picture of Cullum in the suit:https://youtu.be/LQzJ5VETzy4?si=yLfMdnznrX0wluzw
Spider-Man segments on The Electric Company, narrated by Morgan Freeman.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM22mzqWUec
>>152034739No, that was an original story.
>>152051119>that Tom Jones-esque singing I haven't seen one of these in over 40 years but I remember it with women singing over soul/disco style music
>>152050024That fucking OP lives in my head rent free. To my everlasting embarrassment
>>152049051>>152049083Wait, the BBC used to be based?
>>152051880That's how I remember it too. I think they switched to that version in later seasons.
>>152051945Why embarrassment?
>>152050092>forgottenSure, it is a bit underground and niche, but far from forgotten. You will often see it mentioned when discussing adult animation alongside Spawn TAS.
>>152035422This one is pretty good. Great soundtrack.
>>152053642You don't think someone could find remembering this song embarrassing?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGISX9EwGFA

>>152041551>>152041505Kino
>>152041128Disney owns this now since marvel bought Malibu years ago, when we getting the d+ reboot
>Let's make a movie about steel>But completely remove all trace of superman or everything that links him to the comics
>>152055455According to legend, originally Superman was meant to appear, and more over it had more ties to the comics. Only thing was some executives thought it would never sell, and removed all trace.
>>152055773Interesting. Were they going to use Dean Cain for the Superman cameo or their own Superman?
>>152047287Be like the wolf pack, not the six pack.
>>152055948I believe so.
Forgotten adaptation of a forgotten strip. And surprise, there's Sam Jones again.
>>152055455Do you think Steel deserve a better movie? And a better actor?
>>152055436Nightman was Valiant/Acclaim not Malibu/Ultraverse
This adaption sucked. I was severely disappointed.
>>152057158That's Shadow Man.
>>152042311It's actually insane how dogshit the second season was.
>>152038759>that "animated, but barely" one.Huh? There was an animated Red Sonja flick?
>>152041027The movie is bonkers. Loved it.
>>152041159bruh fr no cap
test
>>152027561she's really hot
>>152056851Honestly yeah.
>that VG scifi/horror movie I can't remember the name of based on an aussie comic nobody ever heard of
Wild Palms started as a strip in Details magazine
>>152048742Is this real life?
>>152059772Found it. Can't find anything stating where it came from though, other than an IMDB comment. Maybe it was in the credits? It's a very uwe boll kind of movie.
>>152059927My granddad was a true boomer that grew up on this character and lifelong democrat. I'm convinced this show is what turned him into a Trumper because he lost his shit with the raceswap.
>>152060524I’m glad some good came out of it
