It's not about making GOTG interesting, they already are. They're just not popular.

Magneto is an integral part of one of their most popular and successful books. Namor...is not any of that to anything.
 
It's easier to dismiss me that way, I get it. lol
Seriously, if he was bankable he'd have been developed by now in this golden age of Marvel movies. And until he is and it's up on the screen, there really isn't more I need to say to support my position.
 
I just think Universal has no idea what to do with him since purchasing the rights back before X1. And to keep things relatively on topic ima post this:

Im just saying if they can make Guardians of the Galaxy interesting they can do Namor. Heck they're doing Ant-Man. Any character can be interesting to people if done right. Namor is the same as Magneto in terms of fighting for their respective races. I just think Namor is more of a badass tho.

Marvel Studios =/= Universal, unfortunately. So who knows? :dunno

I think that must've sounded a lot more clever in your head.

Sounds an awful lot like Han Solo to me. Selfish soundrel only in it for personal benefit. :huh
 
He had enough charisma to swoon Sue Storm. You should read the comics. :wink1:
Read more than enough: nut cancer ensued.
Also, she married the most ridiculous and forgettable character in the MU, and left behind only a few memorable stories in the MU on her own.

Those wings of his are pretty cute xD

They're positively darling, Darling!

When heroes and villains in the MU want to speak the word c**t on any given panel, they think of Namor or Reed. Ask Stan, he'll back me up. :wink1:

All this silly, typical comic dork banter and bluster aside, no one has still managed to present a case for Namor as a lead.

People once felt the same about Iron Man who, at best, was a B-lister, as well as Cap who'd become so unreadable, they tucked him into the Heroes Reborn universe. :huh
 
Namor would be great to see - truly.

I've still got my old hardcover 1977 TITANS Annual. There's a great one shot in there with Namor taking on a huge monster, & enduring some pretty hardcore bigotry by some rough neck dock workers, during the story.

Awesome character, gotta say.

Reed Richards? Did you ever read a Marvel comic with him in it? He was one of the most distinctive and important characters in Marvel for pretty much the entire period I paid attention to, but particularly in the '60s. The unquestioned leader of the FF, one of the most brilliant minds on the planet, a guy everyone looks up to as a leader and thinker, and sought for assistance. He was instrumental in defeating nearly every villain the FF ever faced, and was the primary foil for the most important villain in the history of Marvel--almost every time he acts, Doom is driven to one-up and humiliate Reed.

I can only see your argument making sense if someone hasn't read many of the comics he was in, since the FF haven't been favorably portrayed in other media.

I don't know that Namor should be a lead in a movie, at least not right away. But I would say the same for about 95% of Marvel characters. To carry a movie means you have to be able to put butts in seats. He's not one of the 4 or 5 major characters, and he's not part of Marvel Studios (which has earned the reputation where they can take left field risks), so he would have to be established in movies before that could happen. But he was a great, iconic Marvel character. He's as deserving as Silver Surfer, Black Panther, Black Widow, Daredevil, or any number of other "B" characters. But again, you would have have some understanding of his history and role in comics to get that argument.

I'm sure your argument makes sense in your head. There are many examples of seemingly arrogant and unlikable characters that have been extremely successful. Richard Gere in an officer and a gentleman, Cruise in Top Gun, Dr House.. and on and on.
You don't like the character so therefore no one does, despite the fact he has been a solid piece of comic books for 75 years.
Wanting to tear the wings off his ankles displays your inability to be objective. If you made an argument that his title didn't last consistently would be more convincing.
 
Arrogant and not actively looking for others to like him? What about the Man with No Name? Charles Foster Kane? Rick Blaine from Casablanca? Paul Kersey in Death Wish? Gordon Gekko? . . . Ivan Karamazov?
