• Marvel is making a shit-ton of live-action TV series and cartoons. The full rundown includes: The Incredible Hulk, Alias, Cloak and Dagger for ABC Family, and Mockingbird as some kind of spy drama (all live-action); and new cartoons of Ultimate Spider-Man, which we all knew about, and something called Hulk and the Agents of Smash which stars Hulk, his son Skaar, Red Hulk, and a lot of other recent nonsense that just sounds odd. (Via Comics Alliance)
• Someone announced a live-action Voltron movie. Again. We can worry about it if/when it gets any closer to completion than the last time a live-action Voltron movie was announced. (Via CBR)
• Joss Whedon says he's going to make Dr. Horrible 2. As you'll recall, I actually hate Dr. Horrible, so I remain unmoved, but you guys can feel free to freak out if you're so inclined. (Via IGN)

Dr. Horrible is the worst thing Joss has ever done. It's somewhat funny but the music is annoying and I might be alone, but I feel like NPH is totally overrated.
"Hulk...and the agents of Smash?"
I must confess a certain degree of ignorance in the recent Marvel Comics lore, especially surrounding the Hulk but is that really even a thing?
Or is this kinda like "Superhero Squad" where it features a bunch of characters that you're visually familiar with but actively dodges established canon by a country mile?
Did they ever make new Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes? The last one I saw had someone who I'm assuming was a Krull shoot Captain America. Then it ended?
I'm actually interested in the Cloak and Dagger show. It could be good if they keep to their edgy origins (runaways forced into becoming drug addicts) and dark tone. Or they'll just make it a stupid teen drama with pretty actors.
Same here. Also curious about the extent to which they'll connect it to Spiderman (as in the comics he's good friends with C&D).
Undoubtedly there will be much curiosity about the extent of Dagger's costume, too... {wry g}
dr. horrible 2 will happen when Joss and the others can find the time to make it. as for a voltron film will believe it when some cgi lions pop up in a trailer since the last attempt at putting voltron on screen got stopped by the rights holders screaming lawsuit.

"As you'll recall, I actually hate Dr. Horrible, so I remain unmoved, but you guys can feel free to freak out if you're so inclined."
And we do appreciate the way you're always prepared to pander to us, Rob!
I'm kinda confused: is this new "Alias" live action connected in any way to the J.J. Abrams/Jennifer Garner's "Alias" doo-hickey I'm too confused to follow after the third episode? Because I don't know if this is supposed to be good news or bad news. Can someone enlighten me about this?
Also, you must be doing something wrong with sucking Whedon's cock there, Rob, if he's producing another Dr. Horrible. May I suggest the "French Surprise" for next time, so he won't make bad calls all too easily?
This "Alias" is an adaptation of a totally Garner-free Marvel comic, starring ex-superhero and current private eye, Jessica Jones (who is actually *now* back to being a superhero...sort of). Both Marvel's "Alias" and the original, unrelated "Alias" TV show coincidentally started up in Fall 2001. This new TV show has already been renamed "aka Jessica Jones" to get around the obvious confusion/branding problem.
Oooh, thanks for the 411, dude! I just read up the whole backstory of the girl, and it might be an interesting show when handled by the right people!
I do hope it is handled by the right people, though. Don't need another "No Ordinary Family" rehash. "Use your superpowers to impress a chick?" Maaan, FUCK YOU, ABC!
Okay, fuck the other shit........I want to see Peter Dinklage in that Game Of Thrones pedicab!!
WTF Marvel, doing a bit too much at once. It'd be weird to introduce all of the other Hulks and Hulk Jr. into a cartoon... dunno... it's a lot of baggage. Though I love how Banner is written as a manipulative ass during most of it... good times.
Also, not a huge fan of Dr. Horrible but any excuse to get NPH singing again is awesome by me. I hope there's one more Meister ep before Brave and the Bold's conclusion.
I don't understand how a man of such refined taste can dislike Dr Horrible. ESPECIALLY the depressing ending which is the best part for me... At least it is the best song.
Does anyone remember at all the rumor that Cloverfield was secretly going to be the VOLTRON movie?
It's not going to be called "Alias" because they can't call it "Alias." It will be called "...aka Jessica Jones."
that's what he wants you to believe; it's part of his role-play schtick with JW
observe!
"oh, Josh, I just hate, hate your DR HORRIBLE"
:JW's fly unzips a few notches:
Rob apparently likes Dr Horrible but the depressing ending traumatised him beyond repair. Honestly, I made less fuss when my fucking parents died. Maybe Rob needs to start wearing a Joss Whedon suit and spend his nights thwarting the plans of costumed murderers. It worked wonders for me!
Less fuss? You dedicated yourself to training to become the peak of human potential in any area you could think of for the next decade or so, then put on a costume very vaguely reminiscent of a flying mammal and commenced a one-man war on crime.
Jeez, just what did Rob do?
I can see how the ending could be upsetting. But I thought it was perfect. A villain cannot truly be evil unless they have nothing left to lose.
TNI is saying the "Hulk" series will be about Bruce and Betty "in Bruce's early years." Does that mean the series will be Hulk-less, or are we getting "Teen Hulk?"
It's like some exec pitched the thing like, "Okay, let's take everything people bitched about Smallville AND take away any powers or super villains. Sound good? Great. Also, we need a scene where Bruce complains about marketing his balls. Let's get on top of that."
From Comics Alliance: '"This is a brand-new take on the Hulk," said Loeb. "It will focus on the early days of the Hulk, when people didn't know about his terrifying secret and enormous powers." The series will be focused on the love story between Bruce Banner and Betty Ross, and how the Hulk will bring them together and tear them apart.'
Fair enough.
Obviously, Hulk and the Smash Brothers or whatever will be the logical animated sequel.
(But seriously, just how many Hulk canons do they expect to toss up onto the window to see if they'll stick?? ...Like pickle slices. Green and thinly conceived. Look, my brother used to go to Taco Bell in the middle of the night with his frat brothers and flick pickle slices on the windows to see how many would stick, and I insist on being able to use that analogy as often as possible in the years remaining to me!)
Can't argue with you there. It's gotten absurd (and unimaginative - none of them even have real names...just color and gender modifiers).
Can I post my pics of me in my Dr.Horrible costume now? Yes this means I will be popular at cons again!! That outfit brought in SO many women!
