John Campea Show

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 59 recorded Tuesday July 11th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions: 2:11 Jake Cleveland - Hey John I have a questions about property rights, I was recently watching the first Spiderman movie and I noticed Aunt May told Peter he's not Superman. I was just wondering how a Spiderman movie that is made by Sony could reference a DC superhero owned by Warner Brothers? Would love to hear your opinion or am I just over complicating this?3:57 Jim Casey - It seems after watching the movie that Marvel really wove Spider-man into the MCU. What happens if after Homecoming 2 Sony and Marvel decide not to continue the deal? For Marvel it seems easy, they just don't put him in anymore MCU movies. For Sony how would they unravel Spider-man out of the MCU without having to do yet another reboot? Thanks for your time and love the new podcast!8:11 Daniel Fitzpatrick - Hi John loving the new resurgence of the channel lately. My question is about why studios release certain movies a lot later in some countries. For example Cars 3 is only opening here in Ireland this forthcoming weekend whilst it opened in the US a few weeks ago. 11:14 Joshua Langston - Hey John! Here's one I hope you can talk about! Do you think we'll see any more movies set in Middle Earth? I understand that New Line Cinema has just the rights to the Hobbit and the Lord of the Ring and not the Silmarillion unfortunately. Do you envision a return to this world someday on the big screen?13:24 Chris Debord - It's obvious that DC is trying to have the same success the MCU has had. Do you ever think that DC will be as successful and intricate as Marvel has been able to be? With a lot of projects they are working on seemingly being stuck in development hell, I just don't see the DCEU lasting much longer than Justice League 2.19:11 Hardybuck14 - Thoughts on the Borg vs Mcenroe trailer? And do you think Shia Labeouf is a capable oscar winner? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 58 recorded Monday July 10th 2017) John takes the following viewers questions:0:48 Sebastián Lerda - Hi John, love your podcast, watch it daily. My question to you is, what is your take on the Dark Tower movie? Do you think it'll be far different from the books? Do you think it'll be a trilogy and series?5:40 Julia Vermoothe - Just saw Spider-Man Homecoming and I absolutely loved it! It might be my favorite movie of the year. My question is: Is this the best Spider-Man movie ever? How would you rank the existing Spider-Man films? Thank you and bring on the filthy! 9:16 Rory Hogan - Hi John, my question for you is: Do you think all films can be considered art, or do you think that many blockbuster franchises such as Transformers are merely made to sell tickets and have no artistic intentions whatsoever? Thanks!14:30 Bradley Davis - Bradley Davis- Hello John. I think we might be in for a down year when it comes to animated films. The only great one I can think of right now is The Lego Batman movie. So with that in mind, what are the chances that The Lego Batman gets nominated for best animated film?17:58 Callum Morrison - After seeing the news of Daniel Day Lewis' retirement I am curious to know who do you believe can take up the mantle of, or is the best working actor today?23:02 Humphrey Rogers - Superhero films are big. While I love them to death, do you believe they are indirectly to blame for Hollywood's reliance on brand-name (franchise) filmmaking? Many 'original' films have to be auteur driven while a film like Battleship gets greenlit instantly. What are your thoughts, John. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 57, recorded Saturday July 8th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:1:19 Miljan Tanić - We've just got Peter Parker as Spider-Man in the MCU but, many people have been clamoring for years, wanting to see a movie-version of Miles Morales. Now since Sony is making their own Spider-verse, and since I really can't imagine Spider-Man villains in their own movies without any trace of Spider-Man (it would be bonkers)... is it feasible that Sony makes their own Spider-Man with Miles Morales?6:34 Philip Jacobsen - Loving the "new" channel and content. My question is regarding the comedy genre. Is the pure comedy genre dead? I remember back in the 90's and the early 00's feeling like there was a stream of gut-busting comedies released every year. Now I struggle to name a handful of comedies from the last 7-10 years that have come close to the comedies of the 90's and early 00's.9:50 Rondale Williams - Do you think Spiderman: Homecoming will out earn Wonder Woman at the box office this weekend? Why or why not?13:35 Ryan Clarke - Ready Player One has been done filming since late last year and is currently in a heavy post production stage. With the film slated for a March 2018 release date, when do you think we will get our first footage from the film?15:42 Hampton Sipper - Hey John! I've been following you for a while and thoroughly enjoy listening to your insight. I wanted to ask your thoughts on the TV show, The Office. I've never heard you talk about it and just wanted to hear your thoughts. Thanks man and God bless!19:38 Kenny Drew - I have a question about who will get directing credit for the both Justice League and the Young Han Solo movies, as they seem to be similar situations. Will both Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon receive directing credit on Justice League? And will Ron Howard and Lord/Miller share credit on Han Solo? Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 56 recorded Friday July 7th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:0:59 David Pyle - I just read that the new Tomb Raider reboot has recently wrapped shooting, and I wanted to hear what your thoughts were about its prospects? What are your thoughts on Uthaug's directing ability, and the movie's potential to infuse the video game movie genre?3:04 Trey Davis - Comic Con is coming up later this month. DC only has two movies with official release dates coming out, Justice League in November and Aquaman next December. Assuming DC will be there, do you think they will focus their time on those two movies, or will they also announce future movie and tell us about movies like Batman, Batgirl, and Flash? 9:04 Bryan Kruse - In a recent podcast you mentioned your wife is an exec at hasbro. Im curious, does she get a little offended at you and your former Collider colleagues bashing of the Transformers movies?12:54 Jenny Dunn - I read on Deadline that Spider-Man Homecoming is tracking for around a $100 million domestic opening weekend. That can’t be right can it? I thought it would be closer to $180 million or something like that.16:19 William Bento - How much is/should the message of a movie be considered when talking about oscar consideration? For example an amazing movie that happens to be nazi propaganda.20:11 Pardis Jesudasen - Do you think the reason that Disney/lucasfilm didn't show anything about Han Solo at celebration due to the behind scenes?

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 55, recorded Thursday July 6th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:0:43 Brandon Torres - I am beyond excited for Atomic Blonde later this month. Since it’s being directed by one of the John Wick directors, what do you think the chances are that we see Charlize visit a Continental hotel while in Berlin.3:20 Charleston Thomas - I recently heard RDJ interviewed and he said he wants to hang up the iron Man suit before it gets embarrassing. Do you think RDJ wants to leave the MCU? Or that he simply wants smaller roles in the MCU, like he does in Spider-Man Homecoming?6:18 Kishawn Lewis - Ghost in the shell was no "Movie of the Year", but I don't think people actually realize how successful this film is being a live action anime adaptation coming out of hollywood. I've also observed the unsatisfactory reception of most movie critics, but as a fan of the series do you think these responses could hinder a possible sequel, and is Paramount and Rupert even in talks to continue?8:43 Anthony Perez - My question is regarding this facebook post Sylvester Stallone recently put up implying that the sequel to CREED will involve Adonis fighting the son of Ivan Drago, or even Drago himself. while this idea is all kinds of awesome, it does raise a question...... is Stallone writing and directing CREED 2 himself?12:13 Micah Delgado - Alien: Covenant stands as my favorite film of the year thus far, and Ridley Scott has stated that he plans to make at least 2 more films in this Alien Prequel series. However, the film overall was a box office disappointment, and the critical reception was about the same as Prometheus. With the disappointing returns of Covenant, and Ridley Scott coming up on 80 this year, will we see another Ridley Scott Alien film?15:12 Chris Clough - With Universal releasing the Director's cut of Fast & Furious 8 exclusive to digital, is the studio signalling blu-ray is dying?

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 54, recorded Wednesday July 5th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:0:58 James Phung - I loved Wonder Woman and I would love for Patty Jenkins to come back to direct the sequel. However, I'm setting up myself for disappointment that she won't be back. A year ago, everyone loved Deadpool and it made massive amounts of money. We know now that director Tim Miller is no longer attached. Could we be getting our hopes up so soon with possibility that Patty Jenkins will be back? 9:17 Igor - Please tell me are you excited about an upcoming movie Death Wish staring Bruce Willis? I remember you once said on Movie Talk that the only upcoming picture staring Bruce you are excited about is Glass. 12:51 Justin Fawcett - I've really been enjoying your new videos, Youtube channel, etc! You've said before that you're a digital movie purchaser....well, after reaching critical mass with my movie collection I've seen the light and am in the process of converting 1/3rd of it to digital. (and eventually probably 50/50) I am primarily an Itunes user...but there are other formats that I'm unfamiliar with...Ultraviolet, Flixster, etc. My question is....what is your preference for digital purchases/renting? 17:00 Andrew Odette - My question regards fantasy movies. With the current adoration for Game of Thrones, there is clearly a desire for the fantasy genre, yet since the Lord of the Rings trilogy, we have yet to see any cinematic phenomenons. Is there a reason we have yet to see something as easily accessible as Star Wars or Marvel from a fantasy stand point in the mainstream of blockbusters and is there anything you would like to see from a pre-existing IP? 20:49 Zbigniew Zabinski - Do you think Lucasfilm would take the risk of killing off Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi, forcing the newer cast members to try and carry episode IX on their own, without the help from anyone in the original trio? 22:39 Duncan Butler - I know when actors sign up for roles in large franchises like the MCU, they often sign multi-film deals. My question is, does Chris Evans small cameo on the tv screen in Homecoming count against his deal? Or are there exceptions to the size of the role for it to count against a contract?

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 53 recorded Tuesday July 4th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:1:09 Jonathan Stubbs - Please discuss the recent rise of studios blaming outside factors (marketing, critics) in films failing at the box office. 8:06 Tony Dingwall - With Iron Man being a massive part of the new Spider-Man film, do you think the MCU are relying too heavily on the Iron Man character? 10:40 Ryan Peabody What is your favorite John Goodman performance? 12:27 Eloy Vasquez - If they reboot the Transformers movies would Peter Cullen return as Optimus Prime? 14:36 Ulysses Mayorga - Will we see the marvel studios intro in Spider-Man homecoming or just the Sony pictures intro? 15:32 Brendan Day - Who's your favorite character on Game of Thrones?

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 51, recorded Sunday July 2nd 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:1:35 Charleston Thomas - I remember 3 months ago when Chris Evans was interviewed by Ellen, he said that he'd start shooting his part of Infinity War in May. But Infinity War has been shooting since January or February. So my question is, do you think Chris Evans has a small role in Infinity War? 5:20 Matej Viher - With many movies now taking inspirations from the same parts of history (WW2) or legends (Arthurian legend), do you believe that at some point Hollywood will explore other lesser known events. Personally I'd love to see the siege of Szigetvar put to the big screen. 9:50 Joseph Powell - Hey John been watching your show from the amc days and this is my first question, do you think Jared Leto's performance as the joker was so poorly received because of his inability to portray the character or was it David Ayers inability to get the best out of him as a director? Thanks for your time and keep up the great work. 13:05 Christopher O'Neal - With the great success WB is getting with the Lego movies and the fact that WB owns the rights to Harry Potter, what do you think the chances of getting a Harry Potter Lego movie? Thanks for taking my question and keep up the great work! 16:04 Scott Ring - Do you think Kathleen Kennedy and Lucasfilm will directly address the Han Solo Film Director Controversy at D23 and if so what do you think the best move would be? 20:25 James Raynard - I was wondering if you would see a possibility of there being another movie about Jim Morrison/The Doors being made? 21:28 Michael Alfredson - With the Last Jedi coming out in December, many of us fanboys are of course waiting to see a big moment from Luke. Would you prefer a single but lengthy moment where we get to see how powerful he has become or would you prefer to see him use his skills throughout the film on more than one occasion?

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Thursday June 29th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:3:38 Michael Pement - Hey John, I have a question for tomorrow's The John Campea Poscast. Lionsgate just released the first trailer for the My Little Pony movie. My question is, is this movie coming out a bit too late? I don't watch My Little Pony, so I can't say for sure, but I don't think it's nearly as big as it was a few years ago. Will people pay to see it in theaters? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks.6:19 Jon Wheeler - Hey John, as a fellow poker player, what are your favorite poker or gambling related movies? Mine is Rounders, hands down!7:53 Tom Perkins - do you think we will ever see Han, Luke and Leia share the screen again? Granted it's quite difficult now with Han Solo's demise in the TFA and the passing of Carrie in December. But with CGI used in Rogue One for Tarkin and the Princess, do you think we could ever see a return of this technology in a future film, perhaps within the next two saga films as a flashback to when they were all together last?11:13 Cody Reed - Do you think the Transformers franchise would be better off if each movie was around 90 minutes? It could condense the story and allow for more screenings per day14:07 Nikhil Shirsat - Are Marvel and fox sharing custody of the maximoff twins? Fox has Quicksilver and marvel has Scarlet Witch and killed off their Quicksilver. Is it an agreement that they came to to resolve the dispute over who owns the rights to the characters?16:35 Michael Klock - What do you think is motivating studios to pump out lazy, big budget spectacles that don't bring profit? Much smaller budget movies like get out and dead pool made more money and profit than bvs, suicide squad, the mummy, and transformers 520:54 Thomas Levesque - In honor of The House, what's Your favorite Will Ferrell Movies?23:46 Damon Morton - With the success of guardians 2 and wonder women, who is now the most successful Chris?

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Wednesday June 28th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:Geoffrey Taylor - Do you think the incredibles 2 could surpass it's predecessor brad bird stated he would only make a sequel if he thinks it's as good or even surpasses the original I think it has a very high chance.Gabriel Martin - With the increasing cooperation between studios using characters in shared universes, can you see a DC/Marvel Crossover movie event in the next 5-10 years?Miguel Angel Montoya - What did you think of the foreigner trailer with Jackie ChanAlex Antu - Last of us movie....... any news about that?Chris Corcoran - Are you excited for Star Wars Battlefront 2?

One of the best, okay, not so good? Also with John Wick Chapter 3 getting ready to be filmed, Do you think if the movie is at least as good as the last 2 it should be included in the all time trilogy conversation?

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Monday June 26th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:Tristan Durant - Do you believe that just to throw the 1 to 3 percent of the nerd audience off about Zendaya's character in Homecoming she really is Mary Jane? My theory is that her first name is "Michelle" and her full name is "Michelle Mary-Jane Watson," she'll shed the Tom boyish exterior a little by the end of the film, dye her hair red or at least a streak of red, and we'll hear her say to Peter the iconic line "Go get em tiger." Sam Macias - What are your thoughts of an Watchmen series on HBO? Tony Willis - Film vs digital? Gage Lee Sweeney Do you have a favorite pick as to who could play Carnage in the Venom solo film? If not who's your favorite pick to be the next Spider-Man villain? Dylan Delgado Stardust was an awesome movie, what other movies do you recommend that not many people have seen or talked about?

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Monday September 5th 2016) John talks about the following:1) Ann’s dad 2) John Williams concert3) New schedule with joining Movie Talk Again FAN QUESTIONS:Philip Dagostino writes: Hey John, really excited you’re making your triumphant return to movie talk this week,but as a long time fan I have to ask: why do you keep leaving and returning? Isn’t this like the 3rd time? Are you sticking around this time? Not trying to give you a hard time, just really needed to ask.Chris Warden writes: What up John? I hope you & Anne had a great summer. Is there any chance you can publicly debunk this rumor going around that Suicide Squad needs to make 800 million dollars at the worldwide box-office just to break even? I personally can't see any studio head greenlighting a film project that needs to make that much to break even as the risk is just too high. John Michael Klobuchar writes: What are your thoughts on people who say Star Wars The Force Awakens, will receive the same backlash as The Phantom Menace over time? Personally I think thats nonsense.Yuhan Houth writes: Just a quick one. What are some films that come to mind whenever someone complains about lack of original content from Hollywood. It really annoys me whenever I see this complaint on message boards.Ben Davis writes: My question is regarding Jared Leto's joker. I'm a huge 30 seconds to Mars fan and a huge fan of Mr. Leto himself so I was pretty excited when he was first cast. Now after the movies release and reception I've had time to reflect upon his performance and I gotta say I loved it! He was in two of the best scenes in the entire movie (club scene/Harley and the chemicals scene). However it seems to me his performance has kind of a split reception with some liking it and some hating it. Do you think this will hurt us seeing him in another movie?Scott Wooldridge writes: Love listening to you talk everything movies! This summer was definitely a little disappointing for movies. My question is... even though we had a below average summer do you think we are in store for an amazingly strong fall? It seems like with Telluride and the Venice film festival, movies like Hacksaw Ridge, Loving, The Arrival, and La La Land are all getting lots of buzz. I feel like maybe more than previous years?

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Monday August 8th 2016) John talks about the following topics:1) Delays on Gambit2) Jimmy Smits appearing in Rogue One FAN QUESTIONS:Winnie Cooper writes: Hi John, I wanted to get your unique perspective on an angle of the DC vs Marvel critical reception that I haven't heard anyone talking about specifically. And that is the critic/audience approval ratings difference for Marvel and DC movies. Let me show you what I mean. When you look at critics vs audience ratings on Rotten Tomatoes for Marvel films they are pretty much in lock step, with most of the films at 0-5% difference between critics and audiences. In fact, in 13 movies only one (Thor 2) has a double digit difference (of +12% for audiences), with Marvel movies averaging +1.77% for audiences. But the differences are drastic with DCEU movies. +20% audience approval for MoS, +38% for BvS and as of the date of this email a whopping +47% for Suicide Squad. That's an average of +35% audience rating for DCEU movies. Meaning that critics like Marvel movies on average almost as often as audiences, but like DCEU movies far far less than audiences. So the question is, why? Are critics being unusually harsh on the DCEU movies or are audiences just more forgiving of weak films? Itamar writes: hi john, about suicide squad, first of all, i didn't like the movie. the bad stuff just was too much for me. but my question is, don't you feel this movie was suppose to be R rated? the entire time, it just felt weird that these group of psychopaths and bad guys never cussed once. felt out of character for them. i feel this should've been a R rated movie not just because the R, but just like deadpool, a R rating would fit these characters and the story. would've been way coolerBen Rainer writes: Big Fan hear, and I respect your opinion very much. I have seen Suicide Squad already and I really really enjoyed it. Any way my question is do you thing that critics subconsciously review DC movies harsher than Marvel movies. I am not even saying they do it on purpose or even are aware that they’re doing it. I’m just wondering if Suicide Squad Movie comes out under the Marvel name I wonder if it would be getting slightly higher reviews. I am very curious to hear your thoughts, and I am loving your podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Wednesday August 3rd 2016) John is joined by writer/director Jon Schnepp and together they discuss:1) Suicide Squad thoughts2) Rotten Tomatoes petitionFAN QUESTIONS:Rox Baicea writes: I know you liked Suicide Squad, but judging by what other people are saying I feel like half the things we've seen in ads, trailers and behind the scenes footage are not in the movie - Joker slapping Harley and her pointing a gun at him, Joker throwing a grenade and disappearing into the background, the line where he says "I can't wait to show you my toys", Joker patting a black case, Joker looking at his phone, Harley choking her bat like a gun, the scene where she asks everyone what they'd like to drink - apparently none of these things are in the movie. My question is how can we explain this? Why would WB release an incomplete Suicide Squad movie after releasing an incomplete BVS movie and being criticized for it? A Klay writes: Does The Jungle Book have a shot at being an Oscar contender? I feel like it absolutely deserves it based on its groundbreaking visual effects and it's strong direction and writing. However, I fear that it will be overlooked. Thanks!John Feinstein writes:As I'm sure you've noticed, the early Suicide Squad reviews were pretty negative, and that kinda brought everyone's spirits down. However, now that Jeremy Jahns has given the movie a pretty good review, a lot of his fanboys are flocking to anything Suicide Squad-related, saying things like "Jeremy said it was good, so fuck the critics." I would love to hear your thoughts on these people who seem to hold one man's opinion in higher regard than the opinions of 50 certified RT critics. (No hate for Jeremy, I just don't think he's the messiah of movie reviews) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Tuesday August 2nd 2016) John talk about the following:1) Channing Tatum in SPLASH remake2) Suicide Squad3) GSP coming back to UFC?FAN QUESTIONS:Kathy Lin writes: Considering MOS (which i love, made me love superman), kick-started the DCEU, i cant help but feel sorry for HC and superman, getting pushed aside in favor of batman. HC's superman just don't get enough love with many hating his superman portrayal. His performance was so forgotten and underappreciated by many with many calling him a bad, bland, wooden actor. Lately, i read that WB suggested having HC to be Tarzan but David Yates didn't want him because of his high profile. I cant help but think of the number of projects he might have missed out on because of his fame or 'infamous' as the cinematic superman everyone in Hollywood seems to dislike or care about. As much as i love him as superman and very excited with the DCEU, but i'm worried for his career. Thoughts? Tom Shotter writes: I listened to your podcast about comic con moving to Vegas and it makes perfect sense. However, do you think comic con is under pressure from San Diego city council or whatever it's called over there because if you move comic con to Vegas how much money will the local businesses lose?SamDean writes: Hello John loving podcast, with Warcraft failing to make the$500,000,000 that needed to break even, does mean future in film fornow is dead.

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Saturday July 30th 2016) John is joined by Collider Video's own Wendy Lee and together they talk about the following:1) Sausage Party thoughts2) Spoiler news about Suicide Squad3) The following questions from the listeners:Patrick Sowemimo writes: I am a big fan of your reviews and always value your opinion before seeing a movie. My question for you is the concern I have for the Flash and Arrow tv series. Both shows are great but a major concern I have is that the heroes always question every decision they make and it really gets on my nerves. when it was introduced I liked it because it kind of made them relatable but as I kept watching it showed a lack of character development because if a hero questions every decision why did they become heroes in the first place. Brian Knight writes: After all the great trailers and teasers from Comic Con, both DC and Marvel, and the poor showing at Star War's Celebration does Disney and Lucas Films need to put out a trailer for Rogue One soon? I think Rogue One anticipation got buried after all the news from Comic Con this year.josh tedeschi writes: After Brie Larson was announced/confirmed as Captain Marvel at Comic Con, almost immediately I was seeing people offering up suggestions for who is going to direct and write this movie. The majority of the suggestions I saw were for female writers and directors. I guess my question is, does the director of Captain Marvel(And other big blockbuster female lead movies) need to be helmed by a female director? Personally I don't think it HAS to be, it just needs to go to whoever at the time is the right director for this sort of project.Justin Fawcett writes: Just wondering if you've noticed the lack of Mel Gibson in the poster and trailer for Hacksaw Ridge. On one hand I can understand it, maybe even Mel agreed to keep his name off of the marketing...keep the initial focus being on the film itself. On the other hand, I'm very angry about this...I think this is BS and they should've put his name front and center. Curious on what your thoughts are, you do work for Lionsgate so I understand if you'd rather not get into specifics. But I believe you're rooting for Mel as I am, we love our comeback stories! Braveheart was a coming of age movie for me..it always will be, nothing can replace it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Wednesday July 27th 2016) John talks about the following:1) People making excuses for some not liking Gal Gadot’s acting2) Other Comic Con Trailers3) No Charlie Hunnam for Pacific Rim 2 (John Boyega)4) The Joker isn’t Jason ToddFAN QUESTIONS:After Comic con and Star wars celebration I have been hearing many stories of people waiting over 7 hours and still not get in to see certain panels. That is a really long time where you could be doing something else and enjoy the rest of the convention. Personally, I find this to be one of the biggest reasons to separate the cons. I get the allure that everything is in one place but is it worth it if all you get to see is one thing all day. ~RaymundoI know you are a huge fan of the TV Flash, which I am as well it's my favorite comic book TV show, my question is do you think Flash are becoming over reliant on Speedster villains? and do you think it could put casual fans off watching the show because it's the same formula? ~JamesHope you had a great Comic Con! I thought all the trailers that were released at Comic Con by Marvel and DC were great with the highlights being the Wonder Woman, Dr. Strange and my favourite being the Justice League footage and the first group photo of the Justice League together! But being in the midst of it yourself, which studio did you feel have the most buzz going... or in other words, who do YOU feel won Comic con? ~Faiyaz AmitA non sdcc questiion....in their prime Boxer vs. MMA. Mike Tyson vs. Brock Lesnar? I'll with MT. My thought being Brock is to ground based. ~Joe Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
