only rival would be Dr. Strange.

Sacred the shit out of me as a kid!!!

Spawn's cape is the real hero.

Agreed. I had a blast and to this day is still one of my all time favourite movies.

Yes!

The matrix and Jaws are the 2 movies that made it okay to make mainstream R movies

Punisher

can't help but wonder how good this movie would have been if they weren't trying to make it PG-13 from the beginning.

I loved Spawn, Spawn HBO series, Blade 1,2,&3, also The Crow!

@@MetalFacedGamer jaws was PG-13

I’d say it’s better than the comic. Well atleast the first couple of years

I think getting McFarlane on board for the cartoon, and also having it as directly tying into the comics helped. My understanding is that the numbers that flash up in the cartoon shows where the cartoon happens within the comics. I watched the cartoon straight after watching the original Hellsing anime, and honestly, I couldn't say which was better.

My only problem with the animated series was that it ended on a cliffhanger. Wanda was impregnated by Spawn, Angela only made a cameo, and the whole Mask of Genghis Khan plot was never resolved.

Soony 005 The HBO Series was amazing. McFarland had to take the animation to Japan because no American animation studios could get the look he wanted. I think they did a hell of a job. And Keith David as Spawn was EPIC. EPIC!

I recall an interview with McFarlane where his first question to HBO suits was can we say fuck and they said yes. I believe they weren’t the first place he went to pitch it.

So true bro .

Very true

Yeah, I was pretty young back in the 90's but I remember that character being all the rage.

I remember, since I already about 9-10 years old when Spawn was a thing. You can't walk 10 feet into a toy store or comic book store without seeing anything Spawn related.

My to

Ever seen The Pest?

That is stupidity

It's just proteine

@@jeremybackman2782 omg i love the pest movie funny azz

Not only that, but the Clown suit required him to squat in order to fit inside it, so he had to endure the entire production squatting while carrying around nearly 50 pounds of extra weight from the fat suit and special effects makeup.

Howd effects look in the theatre?

Mcfarlane is doing it himself. www.imdb.com/title/tt1206546/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2

@@j.h.17 HELL FUCKING YEAH! Didn't know that, thx man, you made my day with this info.

DeLiqueRS Don’t get to exited, it’s been in pre production limbo for forever. Low budget and Todd won’t give up the directors chair and has made Spawn a mere ”shadow” more or less only hinted at in the new movie....

Wishes granted lol

It'd be neat, but some might throw a fit at Witchblade's 'outfit'. Should also do a Darkness movie as well.

Youngblood, too.

Witchblade is top cow

@@snitchardcunningham7466 true, but she was Image first. Plus, she has been in many of the comic crossovers.

wstine79...I would LOVE to see an Image cinematic universe and definitely all the characters you’ve mentioned but I’m not so sure about The Savage Dragon (who is my favorite by the way) only because that character/comic is waaaay more adult/r-rated than Spawn especially in the last 5 years. If they did make a Savage Dragon movie it’d probably just be watered-down and pandered more towards kids like the cartoon was. If they wanted to stay true to the source material they’d have to make a live-action show and air it either on Netflix, HBO, Showtime or Starz lol

True mortal kombat was pg13 but the studio wouldnt let it go any further then that. I think the same situation was withe the theater release of spawn. Both still good movies though.

Mortal Kombat actually fits as a PG-13 if you follow the storyline. The fatalities are almost all non-canon. Barely anyone ever dies in the series, and if they do, it's offscreen between games, and always retconned away. If you check the story of the first game, the first movie is actually far more violent, as the only death was Scorpion burning Sub-Zero.

And coincidentally Spawn is gonna be in Mortal Kombat 11

And not only that Jamie Fox has signed to play Spawn and it has been a known fact for quite while

Armando Dy ....i remember the Mcafarlane toy craze...he had the hottest looking comic book! Its a shame they dont draw like they used to..the early heyday of spawn comics is really incredible..today its not so great.

Dario JL and Jeremy Renner as Twitch

@@KingJoffy Yeah i have totally forgot about that

No it isnt cuz Todd wants a high budget which no one wants to buy it. Pretty good chance we wont see it

Yes one of the best villians of 90s.

What about the pest?

The pest sucked

He played the clown... The violator was cgi... Idk if the clown can be considered his best role. Have you ever seen 'too Wong foo, thanks for everything Julie Newmar'. Now that's a good Leguizamo role.

@@poughkeepsieblue The clown is the Violator... same character, clown isnt a separate character just like a costume for Violator. A guy dressed as a clown is still a guy.

*DEMONIC ROARS* YOU FOOL

@@troymcclure681. (Clown) "And that's just the kind of behavior you don't tolerate"!

@@aarongreenfield9038 Dr. Claw Get SPAWN to lead my army and kill inspector gadget!

shit kills me everytime

Zack Reynolds yeah, always thought Spawn was right on the edge of a Ghost Rider rip-off.

Fuck yeah!🤘🔥🤘

Same here.

I liked it to. I actually went to see the pg13 theatrical release in theaters wasn't bad but ironically enough that's when I was first introduced to spawn enjoyed it since

ME TOO!

Soundtrack was the best.

It's crazy how fast spawn went from comic to movie , the characters popularity spiked faster than anything I've ever seen.

@@jeremybackman2782that is facts!!

I was born in 86 so I remember a lot of the 90s , it was the best time to be a kid we had hella violent toys n shit.

@@jeremybackman2782 lol good times! Aint nothing like the 90s🤘

they 3 years of HBO animated shows

_*rimshot_

Yeah. Though, the reboot is coming up.

I see what you did there 😅

Isn't that more of a martial arts character rather than a superhero?

@@bigkmoviesandgames By that token, what does that make Blade? In LD he does gain special powers called "The Glow" which he uses in the end.

@@gutz1981 I wouldn't strictly call blade a superhero a comic book character yes but not really a superhero.

@I Am The One Who Knocks I never said he was a villain. I'd put him in the same category as the punisher. More vigilante. I also very much like blade and spawn I dont know why you made the assumption I dont like black superheroes just because I dont feel blade fits the traditional superhero category

@I Am The One Who Knocks the last dragon is a martial arts film that has a supernatural element. The main character only even uses the glow towards the end. As for blade like I said he fits the vigilante role more so than a traditional hero. Also considering I like all the characters talked about in this thread I'd say your reading too much into it.

The animated Spawn is awesome! Better than the film, in my opinion.

...and both are horrible.

He just Batman, Ghost Rider, Deadpool and a Black Guy in a blender 😂😂😂 Not saying I don't like him tho, I fucking love Spawn, I mean, read my name.

Damn.Always thought it was the devil

#NeilPrice They'll Still Demons either way.

@@sainttrunks1982 A "Spawn" isn't a demon, but a lost soul enslaved to become basically cannon fodder in battles against the Heavenly host. His living costume, that gives him his powers, is the demon.

@@neilprice513Alright your right technically based on the movie's perspective, But im looking at it from a realistic stand point and answering it as such. In the movie what you said is true. But realistically a human soul once there body's dead can't return to the earth under any circumstance or deal. But demons are allowed to takes it place/imitate particular humans and return to the earth.

Neil Price He said Devil like, Not the actual Devil.

I don't know, from what I've seen every time a comic writer and artist directs there own stuff to film it doesn't do so well. But hopefully Todd has observed the business long enough to know how to bring his vision to the screen.

Probably give it to guillermo del toro or the guy who directed the crow and honestly prefer Michael j White than Jamie.

They still do. Thats why all the reboots of reboots they keep pumping out

Awesome suggestion Aj

He's been talking about that movie for years. Still nothing to show for it.

Jurassic Park was 4 years earlier so we knew how bad the CG looked at the time. Still liked the movie though, even with the bad reviews.

Green Man - Very true. I would really like to see this movie completely remastered and released in an Unrated edition. I want to see all that stuff they had to take out in order to make it PG-13 along with some of today's CGI effects. It's the least the IP deserves.

@@blazerocker1734 they did a few years ago on Blu-ray. I was watching it earlier today for the first time. Mad that I come on KZfaq and find Minty uploaded about it.

John McCormick - Did they really update the CGI?

The effects were already bad when the film was released.

Let's be honest: Frank Welker is EVERYTHING!

Yep. Jamie Foxx plays Al Simmons/spawn

They should’ve let MJW still play Spawn. He is a baddass fighter/ actor. He did well with what he was given in Suicide Squad.

What you talking about?? Reboot. What is this you talk of???

The movie might be trash tho cause Todd says spawn is gonna barely be seen. Only in the shadows type shit. And it’s gonna revolve around Sam and twitch!!! Straight crap!!

It's a Cape. Cloaks have hoods and mcfarlane calls it a Cape. And his entire suite alive not just his cape without his suit he's just a corpse

Ghost Rider vs himself? Surely you meant vs Spawn.

@Mike Bushnell No wonder I had never ever heard from the damn thing. Unlike the actual Ghost Rider the so called "Mecha" version is from an obscure videogame and not comic book lore.

Roy CyberPunk aa in like Ghost rider vs Freddy vs Jason

Roy CyberPunk sorry that’s what I meant

(Can’t you) Trip like I do by Filter & The Crystal method

@@ezeziel1498 yeah.. I loved that he said he remembered this track, and as always got it wrong.. AGAIN 😂😅🤣

Your Keith David has some great voice acting and it definitely brought some great attitude to spawn

Keith David will be coming back to Mortal Kombat 11 as the DLC character spawn

No, because he's not.
