I stand by my assertion that if Disney were smart, they'd be working on a crossover of Alice/Lone Ranger/Jon Carter/Jack Sparrow right now.

Posted by Mop (aka rburriel) Sep 10 '14, 08:58

Alice, Lone Ranger and Jon Carter are all in the same general era (mid to late 19th century). And Jack Sparrow can arguably called immortal. They could probably toss in a couple of others that don't come to mind right now.

The Avengers wasn't just Disney and Marvel throw some characters together who didn't fit or have any backstory, and they magically coalesced. - Inigo Sep 10, 09:23 1
- When Marvel started creating these characters, were they always in the same universe? Or did that develop over time? -- nm - Roger More Sep 10, 09:27
Chris Martin of Coldplay, what are you doing here, in a factory in Wigan? It's *mental.* -- nm - Max Sep 10, 09:21
John Carter and The Lone Ranger in The League of Extraordinary Film Disasters -- nm - Roger More Sep 10, 09:07 10
- Tagline: More Johnny Depp than anyone would want. -- nm - Roger More Sep 10, 09:09 9
  - It is important to note that Johnny Depp starred in three of the four franchises I mentioned. 3x the Johnny Depp, 3x the box office! - Mop Sep 10, 09:12 8
    - Thanks for explaining my joke for everyone, it is much funnier that way. -- nm - Roger More Sep 10, 09:14
    - barring something amazing, I think JDEPP is about done. - groiny Sep 10, 09:14 6
      - He will have a rebound after some time in prestige picture jail -- nm - con_carne Sep 10, 09:15 2
        
        He's playing Whitey Bulger in Black Mass. -- nm - Roger More Sep 10, 09:17 1
        
        yeah, I love him as much as anyone, but damn if he has not been picking some klunkers. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 09:17
      - Yeah, he needs to be less Johnny Depp, and more the actor we remember he could be in the 90's. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 09:15 2
        
        oh look, it is Jack Sparrow as an Indian! Ooh look, it is Jack Sparrow as the Mad Hatter! - groiny Sep 10, 09:16 1
        
        Unless it's a bio-pic of Keith Richards, Cap'n Jack needs to be buried for a while. - Will Hunting Sep 10, 09:19
this is why you do not work for Disney. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 09:01
They're too busy pocketing billions from Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar and their own animation studios to get crazy like this. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 08:59 23
- They've exported the Avengers concept to Star Wars already. It's just a matter of time. - Mop Sep 10, 09:04 22
  - Alice grossed over a billion dollars in 2010. It was insanely popular; just not good. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 09:06
  - except, the Avengers and characters already are living in the same world. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 09:04 20
    - There's nothing to say these other characters aren't. Heck, they may even be living in the Avengers world. -- nm - Mop Sep 10, 09:05 19
      - "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away." -- nm - Spawn Sep 10, 09:07 2
        
        You make a good point. I'll just go back to reading my Star Trek/Doctor Who crossover. -- nm - Mop Sep 10, 09:08 1
        
        Uhm, Dr Who is one of the best known time travelers. -- nm - Spawn Sep 10, 09:11
      - when you go into a Marvel movie, you have to know that any character could appear at any time - groiny Sep 10, 09:07 15
        
        Audiences would be "Dafuq?" -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 09:07 5
        
        And then they'd be all like "Take my money!" -- nm - Mop Sep 10, 09:11 4
        
        bah, anything more than a cameo, and people would certainly meet it with a turned up nose. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 09:13 3
        
        Here's a raccoon with a machine gun. -- nm - Mop Sep 10, 09:14 2
        
        which is miles different than throwing Jack Sparrow on the Milennium Falcon. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 09:15 1
        
        But put Emmet (Chris Pratt) on the Millennium Falcon and ka-ching! -- nm - Mop Sep 10, 09:31
        
        Spider-man and Wolverine in Avengers 3! -- nm - Mop Sep 10, 09:07 8
        
        with the licensing issues with the companies, this is not possible, but without that, it would be likely. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 09:08 7
        
        That's my point. You argue that "Marvel Universe = Marvel Characters" and I said "nuh-uh". -- nm - Mop Sep 10, 09:13 1
        
        they still have hundreds of untapped characters to keep bring in fresh talent. - groiny Sep 10, 09:14
        
        "Wolverine vs Hulk"," Spider man vs Wolverine" - groiny Sep 10, 09:09 1
        
        the Wolverine/Hulk cartoon was quite good -- nm - Beaker Sep 10, 09:10
        
        Yeah, and I wouldn't be shocked if it gets to Avengers: Civil War, that if Disney doesn't open the checkbook to Sony to use the character. Or at - Will Hunting Sep 10, 09:09 2
        
        with the spinoffs Sony has planned for Spidey and his world I can't see it happening -- nm - Beaker Sep 10, 09:11 1
        
        I don't see it happening, but backing up the money truck has swayed people before. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 09:11
Also, a Tangled/Frozen/Little Mermaid/Belle movie would make a gazillion dollars. Make it so. -- nm - Mop Sep 10, 08:59 2
- Vincent Vega, Jules Winfield, The Bride, Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, make it happen! -- nm - con_carne Sep 10, 09:05 1
  - We'll call it "The Survivors". So... we just need to talk to Uma Thurman's agent, then? -- nm - Mop Sep 10, 09:06
