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
