Man-Thing - Caravan of Garbage

Recently the MCU saw the first live action appearance of Man-Thing in the Halloween special Werewolf By Night. Sorry I just forgot right now, there was a Marvel adaptation of Man-Thing that dates back to 2005 produced by Avi Arad who's producing credits include Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Hulk, Blade and even Iron Man. Filmed entirely in Australian with a next to nothing budget it certainly is an odd duck of a film that was quickly swept under the rug. I will never forget though. And now you cannot either. Thanks for watching!

I don't know how the Blue Harvest thing keeps managing to catch me off guard.

[@heelmoxley365]

It’s the greatest running gag of all time. Part of the reason being the confused people in the comments who don’t get it😭😭😭

[@ArchahcrA]

Just like how the original Star Wars (which was named Blue Harvest during its filming) caught everyone off guard

[@godzy323]

The lengths James goes through to get that Blue Harvest bit is pretty surprising and we love that dedication. The joke's okay, but doubling down on that bit truly makes it feel personal with their videos.

Imagine the foresight, going to a movie set 17 years ago and going "ya know, that blue harvest (which is what I am calling our possibly toxic algae growth that is killing our set) sure is everywhere. Also did you know that the shooting title of Star Wars was also blue harvest? Funny ol' world innit!"

Do Auzzies ever try doing "American" accents by going for Boston? Might be less of a gulf to bridge. We stress words the same ways, just with different sounds.

[@hamishsmith2685]

[@CityPlannerPlaysChair]

They need to do an entire video of Aussie and Kiwi actors pretending to be Americans and just compare whos better. Rose McIver, Anthony Starr, Toni Collette, The Hemsworths, Rose Byrne, etc should all be on it

[@nolanhartley8265]

Out of curiosity, my dad and I wanted to watch through every non-MCU/Fox Marvel movie. I remember actually being excited as a kid about Man-Thing, because he was one of the most interesting Marvel characters to me. I cannot describe the whiplash I experienced as a kid when that opening scene with the couple played, and then again when Man-Thing was barely in the movie. So glad he got a second chance in live action with Werewolf by Night

[@pious83]

Going in watching it blind. It's really quite surprising.

[@user-gw3bs2in5i]

Fun fact. To my knowledge, the same actor who played Man Thing in this movie got to play him again in WBN. So it wasn't just the character that got a second chance.

[@nolanhartley8265]

I thought that was really interesting if true, so I had to look it up, but sadly it's not. The original Man-Thing was professional wrestler Conan Stevens, but the MCU iteration is Carey Jones, with some additional voice work by Jeffrey Ford

Ted Sallis is mentioned but only in passing. In the comics he does often attack indescribably reacting to peoples emotions.

[@SKAR__FOX]

I don't know if I'm the only one pointing this out, but there are shots of the swamp, and it's not forced and you can miss it if you aren't paying close attention, but you can pretty much make out the Man-Thing in every shot where its just got the swamp in frame. He's always somewhere in there, almost like a creepy Where's Wally

[@v8bitecho]

*Man-thing It just looks like Swamp-Thing, but due to international copyright law, its not

[@Rydonattelo]

I was in Australia for a while last year from Scotland UK. Bendigo I was in and an Australia guy I was in the company of one day showed me a steak pie and he said something like " What you think of that mate eh? A meat pie " . He thought it would impress me, like a can you believe we in Australia put meat in pies kind of thing. He either didn't realise that this was a British thing or perhaps because of my Scottish accent he thought I was from somewhere else. He was so proud to introduce me to the famous Australian dish that I didn't have the heart to explain to him that I not only was aware of it but that I was pretty sure this came to Australia with the British.

[@legogoldenglider6684]

Another interesting thing about the Man-Thing/Swamp Thing similarities was that Len Wein (Swamp Thing’s creator) and Gerry Conway (Man-Thing’s co-creator) were roomates at the time these characters were being created. Apparently Conway tried to talk Wein out of Swamp Thing’s origin, but Len “didn’t see the similarities”. So maybe it was some kind of subconscious exchange of ideas? Either way it’s really weird
