Ant-Man...yeah, I can see that being good. What will he do, bite the legs of the bad guys and swarm over any stray crumbs they leave on the ground?
No, but he will battle his archenemy, The Picnicker!

sorry?!?!?!?
I would have added "None" as a choice but I thought there were too damn many choices as it is!
Anyone know if there is a max number for poll choices?

They're all the same film but the main character is dressed differently.
Not true at all! If it's a well done film, the characters are very human and have their own problems & histories. Spiderman is the superhero with every day flaws; the X-Men are despised because they look different yet fight for the humans who despise them; Batman & the Punisher have pasts which cause them to resort to violent vigilantism; Wolverine is a loner & a rebel; the Fantastic Four seemed to be in it for the money, at least in the movie; Captain America is a super-patriot who was part of a WWII top secret project to create a super soldier; Superman is just annoyingly goody good, and also the ultimate imigrant. OK, I think you get the idea by now. It just depends on how well they develop the characters & the plot. I've always thought that comic books were soap operas for guys (no sexism intended).
Sorry, it just ain't my bag. The ones i've seen before, Batman, Superman, Spiderman were all a bit samey.
Fantastic effects though, i'll give you that.
Apparently the Silver Surfer will be in the next Fantastic Four. He'll be going around the world wreaking havoc, preparing Earth for its destruction. It will be interesting to see how his special effects turn out.

Holy shit, that sounds awesome! I used to like the Silver Surfer, maybe because he was a loner. Plus his powers kick ass.
They could not have done characters like Silver Surfer, Ice Man, Colossus 10 years ago. Thank God for computers!

I used to like Thor too. If they can do Ant-Man, I don't know why they can't do Thor.
Being a Viking god, Thor should be the Official Superhero of NOOL!
Sounds like a list of the members of this forum

"Wolverine" for me, but only if Hugh Jackman plays him

I'd heard a rumor that Danzig was the original choice to play him. That would have been great for me, since he's actually the correct height (5 ft. 3 in.) of the cmoic book character. Upon further investigation, though, there was nothing to that rumor. He didn't have much acting experience and was too old for the part. So, you got lucky Bere by getting Hugh.

He's on the list. Check it out above. Independently financed Distributed by Paramount Writer: Mark Protosevich (I Am Legend, The Cell)

Maybe a little, I'm still not 100% sure if the CGI technology is there yet to make the Silver Surfer properly. If they do it wrong, it is going to majorly suck and look cheesy.

Well, I thought they did a pretty good job on Iceman and Colossus, though both were really only minor characters.

I agree they did a good job with those two characters, but the fact that the Silver Surfer normally rides his Surf Board everywhere, is what I worry about. If they have him walking a lot or if the CGI is done poorly when he is on the board, then it will be a major let down.
The CGI in the first Spider-man movie along with the fact that they shoved about 120 comicbook issues worth of storeline in it, made me like the 2nd movie a whole lot better then the first.

I thought the 2nd SPidey movie was a bit too much of a, for lack of a better term, chick flick. I felt it was a little slower than the first, actually. I duno, maybe my opinion will change the next time I see it. I've only seen it once whereas I've seen the first one two or three times.

It was well written and yet at the same time it was kinda cheesy (ex. Go get 'em tiger!) The first one had more of a dark side with Dafoe and Peter losing his uncle as a result of his own spite.

Well the "Go get 'em tiger!" is a line that is used in the comic book often. So seeing them put it in the movie is understandable even if it is a bit cheesy. Most of the comic book fans would be looking for that line and if I remember right cheered when it was said on screen.

... is Stan Lee and Marvel out of bankruptcy debt yet so they are obligated to try to keep pumping out movies to pay off creditors, or are they just getting greedy? how about some quality control here...?
Spiderman 2 made me cry, they can't top that...maybe an Incredible Hulk that is true to the source and just forget that the first movie ever happenned...
has anybody mentioned Adult Swim's Minoriteam... it is so cool with all it's 60s Marvel and Jack Kirby reverences... Black Galactus was so damn silly, thou i don't know if the kids understand and watch it... hell, i can hardly follow the cartoon myself

does that mean Galactus and the Watcher also...? not sure how they would pull all that off...
Just like DC, Marvel will be coming out with ten official US stamps, 8 males and 2 females.
• Spider-Man • The Incredible Hulk • Sub-Mariner • The Thing • Captain America • Silver Surfer • Spider-Woman • Iron Man • Elektra • Wolverine
I'm stunned that they chose Spider-Woman over Storm. I believe Storm was the first black female superhero and she appeared before both Spider-Woman and Elektra. I know that Marvel is marketing Spider-Woman right now, which actually makes it more of a lame choice. Spider-Woman has always seemed like a character that was created to feed off the fame of Spider-Man.

Galactus, yes. The Watcher, I don't know.

I agree that Storm would be a better choice. Spider-Woman is just too much a feminization of Spiderman, like you say. It's like having Supergirl and Superdog (Krypto). No, I'm not comparing women to dogs, I just don't like the "spinoff superhero" idea. Batgirl, same deal. Anyway, Storm is a good character, in the comic, anyway, and would be a good choice. I have to say, though, I always had a thing for Scarlet Witch. I'd like to get her stamp, hubba hubba! Also, like you say, Storm is black. No black superheroes on that list. I'm also a bit surprised to see Sub-Mariner there. This deserves a new thread: Whom do you think should be on the 10 stamps?
Besides Spider-Woman, I believe the choices are pretty good. I actually don't mind the Barbara Gordon Batgirl character as much as Spider-Woman, or Batwoman for that matter. DC chose Supergirl for one of their stamps; I think I would have preferred Batgirl.
Scarlet Witch is a cool character but she hasn't always been good. Neither has Elektra for that matter but she is more famous.

Don't get me wrong, Batgirl on the 60's TV show was hot. Batwoman is a bit much, though I have to admit I'm not too familiar with her in the comics, I don't really know her origins or anything. When I was collecting Batman he was either solo or with one of the Robins, no Batwoman or Batgirl around.
Scarlet Witch and Elektra are sometimes bad? So, what's wrong with that? 
Here's the DC list of stamps:
Aquaman, Batman, The Flash, Green Arrow, Green Lantern Hawkman, Plastic Man, Supergirl, Superman and Wonder Woman
I think I prefer Marvel's list, but it's hard to top Batman.
