    the ultimate question...ginger or mary ann?

    one was like the good girl next door who would be cautious and afraid (tosome people is appealing...hmmm)

    OR you could go with the actress who slept her way up to a starring role (so she knwos what she's doing).

    HMMMM let me think.

    the scared virgin obviously.

    Sorry, but that farm girl Mary Ann did nothing for me, maybe because I came from a little town full of Mary Ann's. We didn't have anything like Ginger.

    Zombo

    --Ah hell, we would all nail both and we know it.

    Mary%2BAnn%252C%2BGilligan%2B%2B%2526%2B

    Mary Ann in a Bukakke scene with the Gilligan, the Skipper and the Professor. Hell, add in Thurston Howl.

  • Also Smallville isn't that far from Metropolis. So what word Metropolis be? Kansas city? I don't think so.

    Wichita?

    How close to the Gale farm would the Kent Farm have been?

    And since the creators were from Cleveland, and if Cleveland was the basis for Metropolis, then where would Smallville be?

    Maybe Norton?

    Or, how about this candidate: small rural town, similar name: Smithville?

    Was Norton around in the 19 thirties or was it only called Loyal Oak?

    I do think that Seagal & Schuster may have patterned some of the skyline buildings on the Cleveland skyline but it's hard to tell since many call buildings of that era look similar.

    Of course as the legend has changed and evolved over the years it's hard to be an absolute purist.

    Around since 1818

    It was meh for Me and the fact they based his family Kansas was a huge "no-no" for Me...Superman is and will always be an Ohioan to Me...The producers really dropped the ball I think and turned superman into some fucked up EMO dude.

    Uh...yeah...he was always from smallville Kansas despite where the creators were based...

    The creators to My knowledge based superman in a small rural farm town in Ohio ...atleast thats what I saw on a documentary about the creation of superman that detailed pretty much how Shuster and Siegel came up with him....I mean Metropolis is basically Cleveland. The Daily Planet was inspired by the Plain Dealer....Afterall..Shuster and Siegal were from Shaker Hts.

    Actually they were from the Glenville area of Cleveland. Both of their homes are being preserved:

    Plus, I recommend that you read Brad Meltzer's Book of Lies. A mystery involving the gun that killed Jerry Seigel's father, and how that death led to the creation of Superman.

    A very entertaining read.

    And yes...I remember the story about Seigel's Father...

    You know its funny, I'm probably more of a comic guy than anyone here. I'd go head to head with anyone on comic geek-dom and of course I knew where seigel and Shuster were from but I was honestly unaware of the smallville post crisis rerconning to Kansas. Touche, Steve you learned me something.

    Wonder what it will be like when Superman and Batman both team up with Cavil and Affleck?

    well until someone can take on the graphic novel 'kingdom come' i'll give no props to simple such movies as a one character 'dark knight' or 'superman'.

    imagine the whole DC dictionary of characters going head to head with the fate of the world taken upon captain marvel saving the day by flying into space and sacrificing himself.....

    then superman using a navy destroyer as a plow to dig the graves of all that died.

    c'mon man. no one has the balls to take on such a project?

    Kingdom come would just get shit on mik. Id rather not see it attempted. Did you see how bad watchmen was?

  • The Cysko KidT The Cysko Kid wrote on last edited by

    Besides there's way too many characters in kingdom come and too much backstory.

    yeah you are right. but for those that know those back stories........nah, still couldn't do it.

    watchmen had it's moments but was a total bust in every regard.
