>MISTER MIRACLE is an adult animated series based on Tom King and Mitch Gerads’ Eisner Award-winning comic series, and follows Scott Free, the world’s greatest escape artist, known to the world as Mister Miracle. His perfect life with his warrior wife Big Barda falls apart when their two home worlds – Apokolips and New Genesis – go to war, and Scott’s cruel adoptive father Darkseid appears to have captured the ultimate weapon, the Anti-Life Equation, that will give him total dominance over the universe.>As the mountains of bodies on both sides grow even higher, only Mister Miracle can stop the slaughter and restore peace. But the terrible power of the Anti-Life Equation may already be at work in his own mind, warping his reality, exposing his long-buried pain, and shattering the fragile happiness he’s found with the woman he loves. The odyssey of Scott Free is a harrowing, hilarious, heart-wrenching journey across the pitfalls of the ordinary and extraordinary as the son of God raised by the devil tries to save his family, his world, and maybe even himself. No prison can hold him. No trap can contain him. But can Scott Free pull off the ultimate trick – escaping death itself?https://ew.com/nathan-fillion-mister-miracle-casting-guy-gardner-animated-series-exclusive-12058023
>>155105474>Scott tries to commit suicide
So it's another Tom King adaptation. They better make the ending less bleak.
>adult animated serieswhat, are we talking GoT style snu-snu scenes?

>>155105474>based on Tom King
>>155105474>Tom KingWhy do they keep using his trash for movies and cartoons?
>>155105630You wish. It's just endless depressionslop.
>tom king is hands off on supergirl>it's shit>tom king is heavily involved in lanterns>its the best dc product since the snydercutI still don't know how to feel about this.
>>155105474>based on Tom Kinginto the trash
So how many people has Tom King murdered
>>155105679Because his mom is a powerful WB exec
>>155105474Why does Barda look like a man?
>>155105938His mom has been dead for years.
>>155105934>>155105958
>>155105958And that's why he killed Hal Jordan.
>>155105474>The odyssey of Scott Free is a harrowing, hilarious, heart-wrenching journey>hilariousI don't remember King's Mister Miracle being particularly funny.
>>155105474I dread anything that normalizes BDSM as wholesome keanu chungus
>>155105777And what attracts you guys to that?
>>155105988
>>155105630It's just not for kids. There's blood and stuff, and iirc Scott tried to slit his wrists or imagined slitting his wrists or something. It's been like five years, I don't remember.
>>155106002She's a gilf
>>155105992Good news, nothing in the comic is particularly wholesome!
>>155105474>based on Tom KingIs Gunn trying to kill DC? Is he retarded?
>>155106040If there's no sex, what's the point?
>they do the nine-panel shit in the filmkekwtf
>>155105474They previously had announced a live action(?) New Gods movie written by King which never went forward. Out of all the things they could adapt, why are they doing a cartoon of this thing they already passed over once?
>>155105474>Eisner Award-winning comic seriesI honestly can't roll my eyes hard enough. How does this guy continue to put out nothing but dogshit and people eat it up like gravy?I was actually legit offended when I saw his name in the writing credits for Lanterns. Wonder how long it's going to take before the show goes south
>>15510563013 Reasons Why was adult simply because of the suicide scene and ideation. The rape wasn't even that graphic.
Why does /co/ hate Tom King anyways?
>>155105938>iswas
>>155105909>>its the best dc product since the snydercutDon't compare it to the Snydercut.
>>155106090>How does this guy continue to put out nothing but dogshit and people eat it up like gravy?He hadn't have a critical acclaimed book in like 4 years. He is coasting in his reputation from like 10 years ago.
Big skip.
>>155106091And I guess this is DC simply because they're wearing costumes. The fights won't even be that engaging.
>>155106038>It's just not for kids. There's blood and stuffShonen anime (which is explicitly for kids) has shit like this all the time
>>155105474I see James Gunn has found his new poochie to shill.Looks like Peacemaker is out of a job.
>>155106098>why does /co/ hate bad writing
>>155106286>>155106423Cutting wrists is not for children.
>>155106455Yeah but falling from a bike or fighting other kids or just having bad luck are things for kids
>>155106455Nerd intervention is not for children
>>155106098Tom King's problem is that he has a lot of personal baggage and while he can SOMETIMES use that to tell interesting stories, he really just has like...two stories to tell total. Also he's rather famous for multiple cases of massive character assassination (often literal in that he loves to murder off C and D listers).Also his Riddler version of the Killing Joke is fucking dogshit and goes full 'smart people are wizards' bullshit while proving that he just does not understand Batman on a fundamental level (which honestly should be obvious just from his dogshit Batman run but w/e)
>>155106087Enough commentors online (and on this board) have credibly speculated that the initial "Chapter 1" presented by James Gunn & Peter Safran was them salvaging a handful of the countless DC projects in development at WB, peppered with a few passion projects. WB under Hamada had already put money into hiring screenwriters to develop treatments for *anything*: New Gods, Sasha Calle Supergirl, Batman Beyond, Batgirl, Keaton Batman, Wonder Twins, Lanterns anthology series, Metal Men, etc etc. They were throwing shit against the wall after the Snyder verse collapsedGunn and Safran were hired to steady the reins AND do it on a tight budget. WB is buried in debt, attempting to be sold, Safran cut his teeth on cheap The Conjuring movies.King was already transitioning into being "the hollywood comics guy" before Gunn; his mom was a longtime WB exec so he had nepo connections that no other comic writer had; Johns was ousted. King already cynically makes comics to be "prestige graphic novels that are cinematically adapted" - he's like the opposite of Alan Moore in terms of sincerity. A "New Gods" project is too expensive and too weird & risky, but a "Mr Miracle" solo story is much cheaper, more streamlined, and hey wouldn't you know it... Tom over here just happens to have a "Mr Miracle graphic novel" thats getting critical acclaim, lets just adapt that! The Supergirl solo movie becomes King's "WOT"New Gods become King's "Mr Miracle" as an "adult animated" seriesRumors persist that Edi Gathegi's Mr Terrific spinoff is actually an adaptation of King's "Strange Adventures" (which was already being workshopped around the time of the multi-generation Lanterns show)
>>155106038>It's just not for kids. There's blood and stuffdo burgers really?
>>155106503Kids probably shouldn't be watching or reading stuff that goes heavy into self-harm and suicide themes? Is that a hot take?
>>155106485The online chatter around Gunn is insufferable and I think he's overhated BUT he buys into King's type of bullshit comicsGunn has been pretty clear about the type of comics he likes: Ostrander's SS, the JLI, the Terrifics, Morrison's Batman and Superman.If it's not one of his personal faves, he kind of doesn't care. Like you can tell he doesn't have any attachment to the Flash. The only Lantern he seems to care about is Guy because of JLI. So if it's not one of his favorites, he's okay with them being dramatically deconstructed by King's pretentious wank.Gunn's mission statement is that the DC projects exist as standalone (that just so happen to work in a shared universe). Lanterns and Clayface could potentially be examples of that working. That combination of events leads to a lot of King projects getting greenlit bc he writes comics to be movie treatments.They're not expensive crossover slop. They have the illusion of "HBO prestige". It makes Gunn's job easier
>>155106516I'm just talking about the idea of show with blood= adults only
>>155106604Sure. That's the actual reason that the Miracle Man comic isn't really for kids though. It goes heavy into that stuff.
>>155106604Did you not read the rest of >>155106038or do you have the tism
>>155106033this is asinine
>>155106098Does not care for the characters he is writing if their personalities in anyway jeopardize or would oppose what he wants to have happen in the plot.Just classic thing a good editor is meant to step in and cane the writers hands against, and out of that comes a compromise where they can get to where they want them but without shotgunning everything that came before.But y'know modern editors.
>>155106562>Ostrander's SS, the JLI, the Terrifics, Morrison's Batman and Superman.If he truly cares about these comics, why he twist the stories to fit his shit?
>>155106372I mean, they already killed off his show and left it on a cliffhanger. I'm fully convinced Gunn won't get around to making Salvation Run before his universe collapses either.
>>155105474My question is why they're adapting an elseworlds """deconstruction""" story for the DCU's first introduction to the Fourth World.
>>155106712what has Gunn done creatively that is a betrayal to those comics?
>>155106753>Gunn won't get around to making Salvation Run before his universe collapses either.i dont think gunn ever planned to adapt "Salvation Run" the comic by Bill Willingham; he's said as much on social media.He just likes the idea of a prison planet for villains. I wouldn't be surprised if its a plot point for "Man of Tomorrow" either Rick Flag or Brainiac sends Supes & Lex and they have to work together to get back. Wouldn't be surprised if Peacemaker, Martian Manhunter make appearances as Salvation prisoners
>>155105934Tons it's why he always writes about suicide he's coping for all the people who's suicides he faked in Afghanistan
>>155105934None. He's a pencil pushing pussy who wants to maintain the image of being a badass operator. Very embarrassing.
>>155107005His Superman was nothing like the Morrison's comics.His Justice Gang is nothing like JLI, it has more in common with the Authority.His TSS movie is nothing like the Ostrander comics, and he fucking killed Cap Boomerang. He killed Flag just to introduce his father, that feels more like a self-insert OC.Once again, for a Morrison fan he fucking destroyed Morrison's Frankenstein in Creature Commandos.I can't see how he is a fan of these writers or their comics. It feels more like he likes to use obscure characters because he's free to do whatever the fuck he wants with them without facing too much scrutiny from comic fans.
>>155107134>His Superman was nothing like the Morrison's comics.>His Justice Gang is nothing like JLI, it has more in common with the Authority.>His TSS movie is nothing like the Ostrander comicsThese are shallow explanations that require more elaboration> he fucking killed Cap Boomerang. He killed Flag just to introduce his father,1) I think a big part of it was WB wrapping up their contracts with those actors2) If the "main" characters never get killed, the Suicide Squad concept loses its stakes
>>155107134>without facing too much scrutiny from comic fans.Let's be honest, comic fans are irrelevant. His Superman, the Kent, Jor-El and Supergirl would be irreconcilable without the Superman IP because they are nothing like the actual characters.
>>155106033great page
>>155106604>I'm just talking about the idea of show with blood= adults onlyEither that or sex
>>155107226>His Superman, the Kents... are nothing like the actual characters.you are talking out of your ass
>>155107223>His Superman was nothing like the Morrison's comics.What does his Superman movie have to do with Morrison’s takes, exactly? The closest it gets to Morrison’s comics is Solaris, who’s relegated to a background visual oddity and dealt with by the Justice Gang, likely killed off by them, much like Terrific did with the Kaiju.>His Justice Gang is nothing like JLI, it has more in common with the Authority.Once again, aside from Guy Gardner’s presence and the team being sponsored by Maxwell Lord, what about this feels reminiscent of the JLI-era comics? They come across more like a cynical, pragmatic, and efficient take-no-prisoners group of metahumans, much like the Authority.>1) I think a big part of it was WB wrapping up their contracts with those actorsThat didn’t seem to affect Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, and eventually he brought Joel Kinnaman back for the second season of Peacemaker. I think he just didn't care about the characters dynamic in the Ostrander's book, if he even read it.>2) If the "main" characters never get killed, the Suicide Squad concept loses its stakesRight from the start, it was clear who would make it and who wouldn’t. The characters played by lesser-known actors, portrayed as deliberately stupid and goofy, were obviously set up for over-the-top deaths. On the other hand, the big-name stars with characters revamped to seem cool, like Bloodsport, were safe bets to survive. The only real twist was that Peacemaker, one of the intentionally goofy ones, managed to make it out alive in the very end.
>>155105938he is a powerful WB exec, he's co-head of DC studios or whatever the fuck it's called now, the other head is Gunn
Oh so he's retarded.
>>155105474Why are all these characters that no gives a shit about getting their own shows but not characters people actually like?
lmao why is Tom King getting all these adaptions
>>155105474Should've been a movie, and based on the Morrison series.This shit is DOA.
>>155105934He's CIA, so I just assume it's child fucking.
>>155108669Gunn loves D- or even Z-listers
>>155106090Anon, absolutely nobody 'ate it up like gravy'.All awards are pure bullshit.
>>155106756That's a good question. Darkseid was the big bad of the Justice Leage movie and a while back I swear Gunn had talked about staying away from Fourth World. Maybe someone thinks this'll differentiate it
>>155105474Anyone else just find everything about Apokolips kinda stupid? Darkseid is okay, but the rest is weird bullshit like Granny Goodness. It's not the ace in the hole that the DC universe seems to think it is.
>>155105474what about the rest of the stooges
>>155108793Don't call them that.
>>155108719Morrison Mister Miracle would be weird to me unless they adapt all of Seven Soldiers or use it to set up Final Crisis (which would be way too soon). And it might just turn into misery porn, albeit not as bad as this is gonna be. I'm also not sure they could sell all the weird Morrison stuff as well as Morrison did. Waving around the New Gods like symbols and totems that way would be a hard sell. "Average moviegoer, remember the intergalactic warlord from Justice League? This random human mobster being pettily cruel IS him." And the New Genesis crew wouldn't even mean anything to the average joe.I wouldn't want Kirby's Mister Miracle adapted either, overall the character's too niche. Adapt New Gods/Orion or adapt other Morrison 4th world stuff and... have the Justice League fight off Apokalips again.
>>155106033>I read WatchmenMoore and Gibbons made it work, once, 40 years ago. These ascended fanfic writers need to get a new point of reference already.
>>155105909Its standard King. He usually has a strong start. Its when he goes beyond the start, and the depression slop does not stop SLOPPING that shit falls apart.
>>155108905You sound very small minded. The Mr. Miracle mini already feels very disconnected from the rest of the Seven Soldiers series and you're telling me you can't think of minor tweaks to make it even more standalone?
>>155109057No, I think it wouldn't be much of a movie standalone. So may as well either do Seven Soldiers or at least build up to something more.
If they can't even adapt Green Lantern correctly, they will never get Fourth World right.
>>155105673You SUCK
Is Guy Gardner the new Amanda Waller?
>>155110939Nah, when she comes back, it will be Viola Davis sporting the fit cougar shape of Diamond Jackson, so the monjaro and ozempic jokes are real.
>>155105474>Tom KuckMiss me with this gay glowie shite.
>>155105474I cannot wait for the big barda bondage sex scene
>>155111792Hhhot.
>>155108549Why is he spitting on Kirby's grave?
>>155105474this looks so nortubel tier
>>155108905>>155109145>i thinkYes, and you're very small minded. Retarded, even.
>>155105474>Tom King againHow many checks is that nigga cashing?
>>155111792>>155113032>Tom King written bdsmlol and lmao
>>155113148>Marv Wolfman
>>155105606I seriosly hope it flops so nothing else Tom King related gets adapted ever again.
He's gonna be Orion
>>155114504Perfect casting honestly
So what IS King's best work?The visions by virtue of being one of his first works before we ended learning he was a one trick pony?
>>155105474>Tom KingWasn't this also set in a self contained universe separate from continuity?
>>155114814So was WoT.
>>155114823WoT?
>>155106056Is DC retarded? Yes they are.
>>155115040My bad I thought Woman of Tomorrow was Black Label.
>>155114504Too bad he will be butchered.
>>155105474>Tom Kingvomit
>>155114658Omega Men if you can ignore Kyle Rayner acting nothing like Kyle Rayner
>>155115452I feel this way re: The Human Target if you treat everyone like OCs and not JLI.
>>155105474
So no light hearted series about a guy being snu snu'd every night and him ignoring how insanely powerful he should be so he can concentrate on his escape abilities?I just want one series about a guy with a super strong superhero wife dominating him in a loving way dammit. Why is "My Super Ex Girlfriend" still the only media that did this?
>>155116927I guess that was implied in the original Mister Miracle, because he was happily married to Barda.
