I could never accept another actor playing Wolverine other than Hugh Jackman. There I said it.
Jackman was actually their third choice to play Wolvie.

I remember reading somewhere way back, I think even before the first movies were made, that metal singer Glen Danzig really wanted to play Wolverine - he even looked a bit like him, physically, kind of short but wide and muscular. No idea if he could act, of course, and I doubt if he was ever even thought of by the producers. But he seemed like quite a fan of the character.

Dougray Scott was cast as Wolverine, and was set to play the part, but he had a filming conflict with Mission Impossible II causing him to give up the role. He was replaced by Jackman. I've not heard of a third choice before Jackman, as I always thought Scott was the first they cast before Jackman replaced him. -M There was discussion of Bob Hoskins, who does have the "angry hairy wrestler" look down but would not exactly have been a fountain of sex appeal, nor does he look like an ageless man.

I thought Keanu Reeves was the first choice for Wolvie.

If Dracula bit Red Skull's neck, I hate to think just what monstrosity would result from that. I mean, Skull is already evil (on a scale of 1 to 10, he's an 11).

It would have little to no effect, as the Red Skull's greatest schemes leaves Dracula's in the dust; the vampire's nature-constantly feeding / transforming others into vampires--is guaranteed to bring an end to his "species" when there are no food sources left, and its not as if vampires would stick to some code to keep a certain number of hosts around to feed. In short, Red Skull would not be a worse version, and in fact, he would be as eager to kill Dracula as anyone else, as the vampire's plan would stand in the way of how he desires to rule over all.

Deconstruction without reconstruction is just destruction.

I loved the Power Man & Iron Fist run that Mary Jo Duffy did in #56 to #84,, but when Denny O'Neil took over scripting duties for 5 issues he dropped most of the support cast (bye bye Daughters of the Dragon) and turned the comic into a boring slog. I also am no fan of the Iron Man run when O'Neil took over from Michelinie / Layton / Romita Jr. starting at #158. I've read some good comics by O'Neil, but his writing stopped me from buying two of my favorite comics in the early 80's.

Edward Gorey should've delved into comics.

Captain Marvel is Captain Marvel and not Shazam. This is a battle I will wage eternally! I don't even care what DC officially has to say, the guy with the red outfit and white cape is CAPTAIN MARVEL!

You'll be hearing from the mouse's lawyers shortly with a cease and desist order for violating their trademark. Should you choose to fight it, they will bankrupt you before it ever gets to court. -M

I'd gladly accept "Captain Thunder" as an alternative (wasn't that originally going to be the character's name?). But "Shazam"? Never. It's an alright name for a wizard — or a genie played by Sinbad in a movie which has never existed — but it sounds frickin' terrible as a superhero name.

It's an alright name for a wizard — or a genie played by Sinbad in a movie which has never existed — but it sounds frickin' terrible as a superhero name. It’s Captain Marvel. Trademark chicanery prevents the character from using his own name as the title for his movie and comic, but that doesn’t change the reality that he was the original superhero named Captain Marvel. I would not accept any substitute! Make mine Marvel! (Well, that is... you know what I mean!)

DC may have @#$%^&*out but I haven't; it is Captain Marvel. Shazam is the wizard. Let the mouse come for me. I have nothing to take; so, bring it on rodent!
By the same token, it ain't Daredevil without a boomerang and mismatched socks......
It's not Wonder Man unless it is one word and he wears red and yellow and loses lawsuits.....
and, it's not the Avengers unless it has Patrick McNee!!!!
