I REALLY hope they do spawn next

>HBO animated show had 1 season, was kino but cancelled
>Can use the success of invincible to help sell spawn to a newer generation
>Keith David is still alive but getting older
>Story complete just like invincible

The down side is i really feel like spawn needs a more classic hand drawn animation style like a 90s cartoon to really fit the vibe aesthetically. Its supposed to be kinda like Batman the Animated Series, theres others that came after but art style wise nothing fits batman better
The other down side is if it isnt animated by the same people that did the invincible series you average normie might not give it a chance

even the normgroids hate Invincible's animation, especially as it gets worse and worse in service of more and more celebrity voice actors

I mean, they could adapt the series that The Boys was a rip-off of.

I remember when i first heard about The Boys and had this exact conversation:

>Oh, you've not heard of it? Basic plot, evil corporation made a serum that turns people into superheroes, so they made their version of the Justice League who play like the heroes, but are actually just authoritarian assholes, with the most authoritarian asshole being their Evil Superman. There's a group of guys trying to take them down because of the whole moral bankruptcy and because evil Superman was responsible for the death of his family.
>You mean like Marshal Law?
>What's that?
>Basic plot, evil corporation made a medical proceedure that turns people into superheroes, so they made an authoritarian asshole Superman to push their agenda. There's a group of guys trying to take down all of the evil superbastards and being pissed that he's not allowed to just go kill moral bankrupt Superman who was was responsible for the death of his family.

Seriously, why does nobody EVER bring up Marshall Law when The Boys is brought up?

i guess i could see Something is Killing the Children, but tynionshit like W0rldtr33 with no clear direction, uninteresting characters, and a storyline that drags on and on and on would be incredibly frustrating to watch. the only comic that would be even worse to adapt would be The Nice House on the Lake.

>"Can a Keynote have a postscript? There are no rules, we can do what we want. I couldn't be more excited about the future of this industry and I don't mean in an I'm doing a Keyote at ComicsPRO way, because what I'm seeing with Invincible and the way that the animated series is fueling the sales on the trades in the direct market is something that, to me, is a sign that there's a potential to build something really exciting in this industry, that will sustain us for years and years and years. I'm getting flashing red zeroes? I've gone overtime. I'm very sorry."
>"So what I mean is: everybody talks about manga and how successful manga is. The thing that makes manga so successful is the manga-to-anime pipeline. With Invincible, we're seeing that you can, with American comics, basically do the exact same thing. Invincible is an animated series that adapts the comic book very closely, and it is doing really well. All of the streaming services are so excited about adult animation that they are rolling out entire divisions trying to do that. I think that has more comic books adapted in this way, because having done Invincible, comics being adapted into animation really is the most seamless transition. I feel like the two mediums are just made for each other. So I think that there is a future where we can have a comic-to-animation pipeline that will fuel this entire industry in a completely unprecedented way. And we're already seeing the beginnings of it now. So I'm very bullish on the future of this industry. I love you all. I'm sorry I stammered a couple of times. Thank you so much."
This was from Kirkman at ComicsPro
Skybound is definitely gonna double down an animated adaptations but the catch is that Skybound animates in-house now and...look I like Invincible but man is show's animation team understaffed and rushed because Kirkman doesn't get how animation is different to begin with

Irredeemable discussion is weird now because it's now pigeon-holed as the "third option" for an evil Superman comic story that isn't literal Superman.
Like the Plutonian is only relevant solely for people to compare him to Homelander and Omni-Man like some sort of bragging right to even know the character is a thing
Personally, I don't think a show will happen because of "saturation" concerns

The production company behind Black Dynamite tried to make a movie out of Rick Veitch's Brat Pack back in 2010 (went nowhere), maybe someone will try again?
>>
>>153350147
Please Christ no
It's bad enough what Veitch did to a perfectly good ending just to fluff his own ego
>>
>>153350182
Wait, I haven't actually read Brat Pack yet (I only know Veitch from The One), what happens that ruins it? I thought people on here really liked it.
>>
>>153350078
Yeah I get that but Omni-Man and Homelander are also VERY different characters as well and they still get compared simply because they're both "evil Superman"
Omni-Man vs Homelander was never even a debate that crossed people's minds until their Amazon debuts
I totally get why people want Irredeemable adapted (apparently Netflix got the rights in 2022 to make a film but let's be honest, it's probably dead) but it'll only invite people who will just think the film is a shallow "knock off"
>>
>>153350210
The original print run ended without bothering to go too far into Maximortal and wrapped itself up reasonably neatly. Veitch decided he really, REALLY needed another mini about his evil Superman (who's a side character at best in BP) which necessitated changing who the big bad at the end of BP was and his motive. The other problem is Veitch's black comedy cynicism about capes was audacious and groundbreaking in the mid-1980s but par for the course today.
>>
>>153350281
Plutonian's the least interesting character in the book, the focus goes away from him frequently and screenwriters would end up radically changing him. Also his antagonist's motive being a fag for him won't fly today and good fucking luck with "electrical powers black guy calling out how cliche it is."

I'm that guy who hates change and will lecture you about why the original anything was invariably purer and better, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
That being said the original ending is the one on readcomiconline and it's unsatisfying to some.
>>
>>153348439
But Plutonian is the only "real" evil Superman. Omni-man was a soldier pretending to be a hero and Homelander is just an asshole. Tony isn't the best character but a good writer could easily improve him in a cartoon plus his universe is far more entertaining than The Boys'

I understand that, since I'm that guy who usually imprints on their first exposure to a story so I try to see the original whenever I think it's the best way to view it.
But are you saying that the alternate ending isn't on Readcomic? How could I read it, should I become curious? Has it been storytimed on here, and does the thread on desu still have its images?
>>
>>153350324
Maximortal is not evil. he is just legally different superman for his schizo writing.

A lot of "maximortal" is occult talk, he is just implying superman is an idea with life of it's own and exists beyond the collective conscious of humanity, and that's why is so powerful and people try to corrupt and change but can never do it properly. All the weird crap that happens in that comic is just metaphors for him to explain his ideas indirectly because any attempt at actually saying this outright would be too confusing to understanding by logic alone, so you use metaphors to describe abstract concepts. Like stories of old, poetry, myths and whatever.

It's literally the same themes present in Bratpack, he just decided to further explore them in maximortal more.

>>153348187
>the series that The Boys was a rip-off of.
They are two different stories. The ending of the first Marshal Law comic is a college student’s thesis that all superheroes are closeted homosexuals who hate themselves. The Boys isn’t concerned with the psychology of superheroes that way. The real story is Hughie and Butcher.

A delightfully fucked up story starring a severely deranged man, and he's the hero. Spawned a sequel and a prequel, both as good as this. I can't recall if it's ever been storytimed here.

Here's the thing, only popular things get adaptations. It doesn't matter if it's good or not, because the point is merely to cash-in on an established audience. Which is why you see shit just based on memes like the Backrooms or SCP, and why you see shit like The Boys and Invincible get adaptations despite both of those comics being fucking terrible.

So practically nothing mentioned in this thread is going to get an adaptation, because it's not recognisable to a general audience.

Something I've noticed is that /co/ does not give a flying fuck about live action adaptations of comics unless it's capeshit
It's technically board legal the same way live action adaptations of manga is legal on /a/ but /co/ doesn't care unless it's capeshit, animated, or both
You can probably count the amount of The Walking Dead threads about the show here within the past decade with your two hands

Except WB insists in their supposed contract that this wasn't what was agreed upon, so it's hinging on whether you trust WB or Willingham's word for it.

Oh, they are. Brat Pack is about the corruption of morals and values. it goes in to how even pure concepts in nature like justice, freedom, equality and love can be corrupted by the greedy.as they corrupt the youth with their distorted world views and it's all packed on this cynical view on society were the ones who speak the truth are villains but finish with an "optimistic" note about those values being reborn a new bringing destruction to the old order.

Maximortal is deeper, it goes beyond morals and ethics, it speaks of something further, not even spiritual but almost alien altogether, yet deeply connected to humanity. It's both this almost spiritual view on superman and what he actually means, how the attempts at being used for profit or war propaganda could never contain him as mere that, it speaks about very esoteric ideas that I noticed myself before and how powerful they are once understood. We and Veitchs are very similar types of schizos so it probably speaks deeper to me than the average person, I will admit this much.If you don't like is alright, as simple comic book stories about capeshit they are not that good, just edgy and weird, their underline message is what speaks to me.
