Thursday, August 21, 2008 Dark-Who...'make it more Kid Friendly! POST A COMMENT There's a major power struggle on the set of Wolverine between the director Gavin Hood and the studio heads...'And, I can't understand why this isn't front page news all over the place, but, maybe I nerdgress. Tom Rothman, (a picture of evil?), 20th Century Fox CEO... Study that face! 'cause this Rothman guy is the douche ruining our X-Men movies!! -- by taking the Dark out, and wanting to make it more Kid-friendly. "If there's one important lesson that can be drawn from the blockbuster performance of Warner Bros.' The Dark Knight, it's that audiences aren't afraid of a comic-book movie that takes a walk on the dark, grim side," offers Defamer.com. "However, the same can't necessarily be said for Fox topper Tom Rothman..." -- who's widely known for being a very willful and meticulous micro-manager. "Despite the fact that the gritty, Hugh Jackman-topped film was met with a giddy response at this year's Comic-Con, Jeff Wells says that Rothman is pressuring director Gavin Hood to make the movie more kid-friendly..." "Perhaps Rothman has taken his fan letter from Steven Spielberg too much to heart, but a child-friendly Wolverine feels less "X" and more "Y?" Does this mean his bristly greeting of "Bub" will be redubbed "Buddy," or his iconic cigar will be replaced with a pixie stick? C'mon, Tom: Wolvie isn't meant for buoyant musical numbers..." WTF? 'Cue the broadway tunes...or pink outfits?'I have to say (and I know I'm showing my Geeky side), if there's anytime true comic book fans should use the power of the internet for the forces of good...'here it is! Pass this story around...let them know we can do dark just fine. Please, please, please, save Wolverine from being turned into another Disneyfied-toe-tapper.
