philfearon:

Lol.
Most of the budget for Big budget movies go to VFX, location and marketing, that's why; not even the actual Production itself.

Movies have a lot of disadvantages which a series don't, and so the huge budget to make it appeal to a much wider audience.

philfearon:

Of course.
Most Amazon Prime shows are big budget shows...just like their upcoming Lord of the Rings series which is predicted to cost more than $500m over five seasons... That's $100m each per series.
The second season of THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE cost $100m+ to make.

philfearon:

Sure, they do.
But, between Jon Snow (GOT) and Nolan's Batman, whose character was more developed on Screen?

Iron Man's development was all around in the Marvel Universe because he had the highest minutes on screen. That's what i am trying to let you know.

The more minutes a character has on screen, the more developed they become.
People appreciated Nolan's Batman more in TDK because he already had a lot of minute's prior, and the Joker played off it.
The Joker was all character development from start to finish, no villain, no hero.

philfearon:



The first season of GOT cost around $50m. That's big money for a TV series. If same series was made today, it would obviously cost more... inflation.
I just browsed, and The Witcher cost about $90m for its first season. The Joker cost less.

If I remember correctly, the only A-list actor in Marvel's assemble when they started was S.L Jackson before Benedict Cumberbatch and Chris Pratt joined them(and Chris is even debatable though).

So my guy, no be as you think am!

Minemrys:

wr0ng, RDJ was A list then, scarjo was kn0wn, gwyneth patrow, mark ruffalo. Guy d0n't go there. That 50mil for GOT of multiple hour epis0des is much cheaper than superman returns yearz before of 200mil. Guy, no c0mpare tv show with films. Films cost m0re, and are m0re advantageous.

Minemrys:

let's cut this argument short. A g0od screen play would tell a c0mplete story filled with character developments in 2 hours that a series with 13 episodes tries to tell. U just have to figure out your scenes, what's m0re important and what's n0t. To be h0nest, give n0lan the story of GOT seas0n 1 and he would summarize it in 2 hours and get an oscar n0m for it.

philfearon:

Lol. If ah hear.

None of the people you mentioned are A-list actors, even after Marvel gave them popularity... except Downey who was a B-list actor as at when Marvel cast him. You can probably say he is the only actor that went upward to A-list.

Topmaike007:
Amazon is another dimension on it's own

Minemrys:

and m0vies have talents. Locati0n, yea. You hardly get series using exotic locati0ns.

philfearon:

Lol.
Christopher Nolan cannot do GOT in 2hrs no matter how good he is.

It is impossible to do a movie in two hours for a story with too many characters without prior background build...that's exactly how you end up with bad butchered movies which fans and critics will love to make the joke of the year.

I thought you knew this already.

philfearon:
Location no be here o...e no easy!

TheKingIsHere:
Is Ayer cut about to be released too?

Let's watch and see

Minemrys:

downey was never a B list. His career only suffered due to his drug problems. He was a house hold name. He was kn0wn. Mark ruffalo isn't an unkn0wn. Check his films. He's popular. The only b lists were hemsworth and evans bk then. Johans0n was kn0wn bro. Gwyneth patrow, is a star dude. D0n't kn0w abt jeremy renner bk then. D0n't let people hear u say this.

Minemrys:

Bvs would make it 2 times. Oh, then there's David ayer.

philfearon:

Lol. Guy you dey funny.
I just wonder why is it that this people have too many materials in their hands, yet keep hoarding it for no reason.
But, DC and Marvel are getting wise...at least if you look at some of their future release templates. But, it wouldn't be bad having.

The character development in the big screen is too poor and rushed.
Maybe, i read too much novels...lol!

Maybe but it's not a bad thing to want your character fleshed out..some people still prefer movies tho like me

If you can remember I told you the only series I had ever watched was GOT, I only just started watching series when I joined this thread and all of them have been superhero series...I dont need toomany to see toomany scenes of a character to make them feel relatable or built up

Minemrys:

dude, n0lan would find a way to do seas0n 1 of GOT in 2 hours. It's abt kn0wing what u want to tell, how to tell it and achieve it. GOT was fr0m a b0ok, guy. And u are telling me N0lan can't adapt a b0ok into a 2hour film? He did incepti0n that had many characterz in it and was able to tell a story. How abt TDK. Lord of the rings is one film i find unnecessarily l0ng and would've benefitd fr0m a 2hr run time..

Minemrys:

na why i talk say series c0mpared to films are cheap.

philfearon:

He could...but will the characters be as developed?
That's my point bro, character development. There are a lot of things he will be forced to cut off because of runtime.

philfearon:

A lot of people prefer it the same way as you do too. I'm the one that made my siblings love series too cuz they too prefer one off movies.

It's just that i prefer well rounded stories, not the one dimensional clusters that is prevalent in BO movies.
Box Office is now used mainly for flicks and VFX...

@abduleez1 nice to see you here bro.

Hope you stick around more often

philfearon:

Of course.

philfearon:

Series Lover here...

If you ask me, I will tell you that All Superhero films should be reduced to series cuz of Character development before being pushed to the big screen. That is, most of the build ups will be done in the small screen while the big events happen on the big Screen. More like a combo.

abduleez1:


Nope I don't buy that idea.
There are various and numerous comic characters and various level of importance and popularity. Some don't belong in the small screen, while some are definitely well suited for the Big screen.
Characters like Uxas you don't really need a tv series character development style to know what he basically IS. Same for Supes, Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman etc.

Being a theater film doesn't really translate to poorer character devt, it all depends on the writing, direction and portrayal. Besides for character devt that's why you got sequels or prequels to handle that.

The public reach of Big screen release is also far greater than series. Also profitability on big screen has many positive potentials over series.
