some choice quotes...

“How many people in the audience have heard of Martian Manhunter?” After hearing some light applause and cheers, he added, “How many people that raised their hands have ever been laid?”

I think She-Hulk is the chick that you could [frick] if you were Hulk, you know what I’m saying? … She-Hulk was the extension of the male power fantasy. So it’s like if I’m going to be this geek who becomes the Hulk then let’s create a giant green porn star that only the Hulk could [frick].

Oh David...

 

[gutshot]

Frick?

 

[Mainstreamer(1up)]

I don't know that first bit was pretty funny.

 

[massoluk]

Hopefully comic geeks will finally accept the fact that David Goyer have never written a good comic book movie script.

 

[J10]

Except that Hulk and She-Hulk are cousins so she wasn't created to give Hulk someone to fuck, but OK, David.

 

[daviyoung]

maybe comics will be taken more seriously when we start using the proper words, the censoring just bashes his point home

 

[Nokagi]

Hey that's cousin fricking!

 

[lednerg]

I... kinda agree...

 

[anaron]

He's disgusting.


Can't believe this idiot is involved in any capacity in bringing Wonder Woman to the big screen

 

[Delta Assault]

*shrug*

Ummm... he's not wrong...

Edit: I mean, not in the sense that he's right that She-Hulk was about the Hulk fucking her, cause that's obviously incest. But her existence being partially fueled by male sexual fantasy... I can't disagree with that.

 

[Acorn]

Frickin 'el

 

[Darklord]

The only thing that would have gotten less applause is if he asked “How many people in the audience enjoyed Man of Steels script?"

 

[dabig2]

Except that Hulk and She-Hulk are cousins so she wasn't created to give Hulk someone to fuck, but OK, David.

Well, there was that one time after Betty died in the 90s...

Well, they didn't do it, but Hulk wanted that ass!

 

[kirblar]

I disagree on She-Hulk, it's more of a "What would a guy do with a girl's body" sort of deal.

 

[Dennis]

The only thing that would have gotten less applause is if he asked “How many [fricking] people in the [fricking] audience enjoyed the [fricking] Man of Steels script?"

fixed

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

“How many people in the audience have heard of Martian Manhunter?” After hearing some light applause and cheers, he added, “How many people that raised their hands have ever been laid?”

Goyer knows who MM is. Does that mean he's never been laid?

 

[Hot Coldman]

I mean, I'm not a woman, but I always thought She-Hulk seemed like a pretty good female power fantasy by the standards of the Big 2. Strong, confident, assertive. His comments about the Hulk shagging her doesn't really make sense either (besides her being Bruce's cousin), she's pretty liberal sexually, no?

Anyway, we didn't need more evidence this guy was another jumped-up overpaid Hollywood turd, but I'm not gonna complain.

 

[The Adder]

*shrug*

Ummm... he's not wrong...

Considering Martian Manhunter was a primary character on one of the single most viewed superhero cartoons of all time and the She-Hulk is Bruce's cousin...

Yes, he is.

 

[Jarmel]

Can't wait for him to script the Wonder Woman movie.

 

[Toa TAK]

The only thing that would have gotten less applause is if he asked “How many people in the audience enjoyed Man of Steels script?"

Yes.

I mean, he had his script (co-written by Snyder) re-written, come on.

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

That MM line got a laugh out of me. But I've been laid. So Goyer is wrong.

 

[RedShift]

I know it's cliched to constantly rag on about how much better Marvel handle their movies than DC but...

That first quote just sums it up. "Lol only virgins have heard of Martian Manhunter, why would we make a movie about him" vs. "We're making a movie about a talking raccoon. Deal with it".

This is why DC has two successful movie franchises, and Marvel has Spider-man, X-Men (well, not theirs but still), Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Avengers, and to a lesser degree Hulk, Fantastic Four and Ghost Rider. And they're still making news ones like GotG, Ant-Man, Dr. Strange...

Spoiler

I've never really heard of Martian Manhunter.

 

[crimsonspider89]

Yeah She Hulk is a strong female and Bruce's cousing. Strong, confident, assertive and such.

MM was one of the most requested characters for Injustice and starred on JL and JL:U heavily.

 

[inky]

I mean, I'm not a woman, but I always thought She-Hulk seemed like a pretty good female power fantasy by the standards of the Big 2. Strong, confident, assertive.

She's also career driven.

Goyer sounds like an idiot. Now a lot of things make sense.

 

[Elginer]

What a jackass.

 

[Hot Coldman]

She's also career driven.

I should have remembered that. That's like the ultimate proving point. Goyer's kinda telling us more about him for automatically assuming She-Hulk is eye candy for hormonal teenagers.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Dude clearly doesn't know a damn thing about my Shulkie.

She's obviously designed to be sexually appealing to the typical male reader but she's soooooo much more than that. And dude, she pretty much sleeps with everyone BUT Hulk.

 

[Kinyou]

“How many people in the audience have heard of Martian Manhunter?” After hearing some light applause and cheers, he added, “How many people that raised their hands have ever been laid?”

 

[Salamando]

What're his thoughts on Wonder Woman? One of her original weaknesses was being tied up by a man. Do that, she's helpless. How is that not part of the male power fantasy?

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Biting the hand that feeds, good job there David.

 

[Affeinvasion]

I would heckle the shit out of that guy if I was at the panel.

 

[J10]

It didn't occur to him that more people might actually get to know Martian Manhunter if they actually attempted to treat the character decently on screen. How else are you supposed to break the cycle of "this won't sell because nobody's heard of it because it doesn't sell?" You can't have heard of something until you've heard of it, dumb ass.

 

[kai3345]

lol fuck off goyer

 

[GrizzNKev]

I know who that is and I'm not a virgin. Frick you buddy

 

[Spinluck]

I would bone the She-Hulk that appears in Marvel vs Capcom 3.

That apple bottom doe.

 

[MisterHero]

I fucking hate Hollywood

 

[Exterminieren]

I absolutely cannot wrap my head around a guy who makes a good chunk of his money writing comic book movies saying stuff like this in public.

I mean, regardless of whether he's right or not, and he shows his ignorance in a big way about She Hulk, it's just the most colossally stupid move imaginable.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Except that Hulk and She-Hulk are cousins so she wasn't created to give Hulk someone to fuck, but OK, David.

You should probably be having words with Mark Millar then.

In Old Man Logan, the Hulk Gang are the inbred redneck children of Hulk and She-Hulk.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

how many people have heard of Cyborg?

 

[Deleted member 13876]

I fucking hate Hollywood

Reviling your audience while being paid millions to do so.

 

[Nairume]

Totally not like MM was a main character in a popular show that lasted half a decade or anything.

 

[Shaanyboi]

dude just sounds bitter that he's getting his "vision" for MoS2 rewritten

 

[Hot Coldman]

In Old Man Logan, the Hulk Gang are the inbred redneck children of Hulk and She-Hulk.

this is a concerning recurring trend with that dude

 

[MattKeil]

“How many people in the audience have heard of Martian Manhunter?” After hearing some light applause and cheers, he added, “How many people that raised their hands have ever been laid?”

I don't know, David, but I bet a good number of them helped pay for your house, considering you've been writing movies based on comic books for almost 20 years now.

 

[gutter_trash]

William Shatner has done this numerous times.. no big deal


*making fun of fans that is

 

[G-Fex]

Wow that's..wow.

I don't know, MM is pretty OP in the Injustice game.

Goyer seems like the guy Kevin Smith talked about.

 

[SmithnCo]

Can't wait for him to script the Wonder Woman movie.

I want to see that out of morbid curiosity.

 

[Toa TAK]

Wow that's..wow.

I don't know, MM is pretty OP in the Injustice game.

Goyer seems like the guy Kevin Smith talked about.

Link?

 

[Shaanyboi]

how many people have heard of Cyborg?

How many people heard of Hawkeye or Black Widow, or even Thor before the Avengers movies? Or Scarlet Witch, or Quicksilver, or Vision, or Black Panther, or Ms. Marvel/Captain Marvel, or Dr. Strange, or Ant-Man?

It's such a fucking stupid mentality that "no one has heard of them, therefore we can't make a movie with them." It's some eye-roll worthy bullshit, and the fact that this guy worked on the Nolan Batman movies is just... ugh.

 

[Exploratory]

That's why DC will always be second and Marvel first.
