Hollywood, where's the remake?


The jackasses in Hollywood remake every terrible movie under the sun, and have a massive hardon for comic book movies. It's time for the second coming of Howard the Duck.

After seeing the gritty looking, rough voice sounding CGI Howard at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy, I'm convinced it's time for a darker R rated remake, right along with Deadpool adaptation.

I wouldn't call it a remake. I'd call it another adaptation. "Howard the Duck" was a very cool, sophisticated 70's era comic book that that douchebage George Lucas and his talentless cronies tried to adapt to appeal to a completely uncool and unsophisticated Reagan-era kiddie audience.

I don't necessarily think highly of the comic-book movie audience of today, but I think they would be a LITTLE more receptive to Howard the Duck today than the idiots back in the 80's who were expecting another "Star Wars" or "ET".

This film tanked at the boxoffice and I do mean TANKED, so do not expect a reboot anytime soon, if ever.

IMO, the MCU could pull off a remake of the movie

Sense8 (2015): "If you don't mind, I prefer to think you are a hallucination."

Audiences do now accept a talking raccoon and it was a blockbuster

I don't think they would know how to make this better to begin with. Yes, it is good to remake terrible films to make them better, but sometimes you just can't. Remember, you cannot polish a turd.
