I'd rather having something good than nothing. But I'd rather have nothing than more of the same. "Doing it right" doesn't concern me, regardless of the source material.

I agree. As long as what we get entertains me. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film is a good example.

It's a shame, since there's often a massive (well, massive in terms of internet fanboys) outcry that people are even daring to film something.... To heck with them. A film or TV show of something is always going to be different.

Rumours of a Blue Beetle TV show (if there was such a thing, it's just an example - keep it in your pants) would make me go "ooh"... I'd then wait to see what kind of thing they were doing with it (sci-fi action, dark and broody loner in gritty streets, teen drama, comedy claymation etc) before going "sweet jeebus, not another of those..." ;-)

Indeed. I agree, but not in the specific case of a Green Lantern film starring Jack Black as Kyle Rayner. A world of "NO!" :)
