Here's a thought. Been watching smallville since it first aired. It was a monumental show to me, hell superman, superheros, comics that's all monumental to me. It's why I can't stand the vitriol I often get at forums and shit, because I AM very, almost insanely passionate about super heros and comics etc. I think to myself that's the kind of guy they want in their club talking shop, but I'm abundantly wrong in the end.
No matter. I'm just thinking of possibly expanding on the static shock trailer idea and crafting a static shock tv series done in live action.
It'd be similar to the TMNT 2k3 series which followed the comics more closely. My show would be very faithful to the comic, gritty, realistic, not like the colorful often too cartoonish show. It was strange to sit back and be blasted with an awesome episode of batman beyond, then have this light fluffy almost soft pussy episode of static shock come on. I won't play like that if I have it my way... shit going to be real shit.
I like the idea of making a show that you won't find on tv, a show that's not only starring a black actor, but subverts conventions, doesn't play it safe, and takes the hard road, even to the point of evoking serious levels of drama similar to an episode of law and order. Hardly anyone smiles in that show you'll notice. That's the point. Some episodes aren't particularly complex, but because everyone's got a sour expression and there's dark music, the tone of the show feels serious. Well I'd like to steal that method.
I don't know... I just think that in the absence of smallville, there's been this huge hole to fill that I don't think that fucking Arrow show is filling. It's just not the same. One show is about the origin of the greatest superhero ever. The other is, some kind of batman-ish thing. If you're gonna make a batman show, make a batman show. Lol, actually I haven't seen Arrow so I don't know if it's any good. Maybe it is...
