[edit] Inclusion in the List

This is only for Marvel Universe-related properties, right?

The following are not based on Marvel Universe properties, but were done by publishers that were later acquired by Marvel (such as Malibu Comics). I feel this makes them ineligible for this article.

• Men in Black (1997) (by Aircel Comics, which was acquired by Malibu Comics, which was later acquired by Marvel Comics)
• Men in Black II (2002) (same as above)
• NightMan (1997, TV movie) (by Malibu Comics, which was later acquired by Marvel Comics)
• NightMan (1997, TV series) (by Malibu Comics, which was later acquired by Marvel Comics)

Also, Darkman and sequels are not Marvel properties, though Marvel did publish a licensed 3-part movie adaptation and 6-part limited series.

KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park is not a Marvel Comics-based movie, despite the fact that KISS did appear in the Howard the Duck series. DS 14:06, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categorising films

This film is listed as "The Fantastic Four (1994, unreleased)" in the 1944-1988 category at the beginning of the entry. This film should be listed in the Unreleased category instead.

I've added released/unreleased to the pre-1998 category and moved the unreleased F4 movie into the pre-1998 unreleased category. By the way, what is the reason for spliting the list at 1998? Does it have something to do with the launch of Marvel Entertainment? Journeyman 01:40, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Daredevil 2

Avi Arad's said in interviews that there will NOT be a DD2, that marvel learned from it's mistakes. I'll try to find some cites, but any idea that there will be a DD2 is fan hopes, not Avi's words.ThuranX 05:42, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Old/New Era

Now that a TV section has been created, there is no point in having old/new era. Therefore, do not add those headings. --Jamdav86 09:20, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

And yet there is a real difference in the quality of movies prior to the release of Blade (cf. Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.). Journeyman 01:11, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Do you have a citation? --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 14:45, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Quality is irrelevant. List length is the only reason it should be split up, and all that you split off are five articles, which seems silly to me. --Jamdav86 16:34, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I didn't split the list. I have no citations but have a feeling it's probably linked to Marvel's recovery from financial difficulties in the 90's; and can be seen in Marvel's current aggresive development of live action movies from it's character roster. Journeyman 01:53, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fan films

I have removed the beginnings of a list of fan films:

== List of Marvel Fan Films == 
*Spider-man: The Peril of Doc Ock (Lego, 2004) 

I do not believe it fits the scope of this page - definitely listcruft turf... Ah having now searched for it and found the production details here. I would say the cited production is not a fan film but promotional video. Cool certainly, but I'm still not sure it fits the scope of this page. Perhaps the film could be cited in the Spiderman 2 article. Journeyman 00:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
