Hey, all. Love the show and you guys are awesome. I have some questions for you. With films based on lesser-known comics like The Losers, Scott Pilgrim and Kickass not being huge box office successes, do you think studios will shy away from non mainstream comic book movies? Or will they continue to make them based on the popularity of the comic book genre in general? Also, what are some non mainstream comics you would like to see made into movies? I would personally love to see Umbrella Academy and maybe Danger Girl. Thanks

Hey guys and gals love the show. All these rumors about Bryan Cranston as Lex Luthor are awful! I personally think he's too old to be Lex in this DC universe. I think they should get someone younger, and bigger, so Lex is actually kind of terrifying when he wants to be. Maybe Aaron Eckhart? I'm not sure. What do you guys think? Thanks!

Greetings to you all I'm a total fan of your show and I love what you guys do so please keep up the good work. I'm writing because I thoroughly enjoyed the recently seen "Now you see me". I was shocked by how great this movie was and the stellar cast that supported it. I don't know if any awards were achieved from this movie but this was a well thought of and put together film probably one of the best I've ever seen actually. Towards the end they give you hints of a second movie but I was wondering did it do well enough to deserve a second movie? I don't remember there being a lot of publicity for it though. Anyways thanks and be blessed.

So Walt Disney had a philosophy regarding sequels, and it came about after his Three Little Pigs sequel flopped: he said "You can't top pigs with pigs". My question to you is this. Is Pixar being a bit hasty in creating so many sequels to their films? Obviously all of the Toy Story sequels have done marvelously, but what about the rest (Cars 2, Monsters U, and soon Finding Dory)? I know John has expressed his eagerness for a 2nd Incredibles, but should Pixar embrace Walt's viewpoint and stop trying to top pigs with pigs (so to speak)? I enjoy sequels as much as anyone else, but if Pixar announces just one more sequel I'm going to start wondering if they have any more clever, original stories left to bring to life. The original stories are what they're so genius at, after all!
Thanks guys.

Hey guys, big fan of the show and watch daily. My question for you guys is, how do you think they will introduce Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch? Will they wait until Avengers the Age of Ultron or just maybe could they introduce them through Marvel's new TV show, Marvel Agents of Shield? What are your thoughts on how they will introduce the brother-sister duo?

Hey John and Crew this is Louie. I was reading an article and it was talking "Facts" about Captain Jack Sparrow and it got me thinking since ths character's legend even in the movies is larger than life what would you think about doing a story of how he became who he is. (I know John doesn't like Prequels because you know where they are and that they survive.)I have heard everything from his sister was turned into a cat and he almost had his hand cut off. it says that he was born on a Pirate ship in the middle of a Typhoon and that he ran from home because his Grandma was mean to him. I would be interested in seeing this tale, What do you think?
