Such an underrated character

[@NickolasNameolas]

Brad Bird did a pencil test for an animated Spirit movie in '80 but the project never got backed and they lost the rights. It's on youtube.

[@Mr_Movie_Fan]

For anyone coming over to this comment, the movie never got greenlit because the studios never understood why the movie was animated, there wasn't any funny animals and it wasnt a fairy tale

[@yoshaosaxofonista]

Makes scense. Mr. Incredible seems a little bit with Spirit

[@daiichikuroslightnovels7293]

What if Netflix made a an original Netflix series of the spirit? As we have the Daredevil TV series on Netflix this could be the same way.

[@_Snafu_]

God no. Anything that was once cool back then needs to wait it out until we can get some competency back in entertainment.

[@821lancevance]

I really want a reboot movie of the spirit

[@cha5]

One of my favorite comic runs, I own several Sunday Spirits and Police Comics Spirit reprints from the 1940’s.

[@josephtravis1032]

You guys should talk about more Pulp and Poblic Domain heroes

[@astrocitizen]

The Same Jones TV movie also starred Nina Visitor (Major Kira, STAR TREK: DS9) as Commissioner Dolan's daughter, Ellen.

[@Douglasman123]

I don’t know if The Spirit or the characters themes could be consider relevant on still matter in Todays culture. But if the characters is ever made a return to media outside comics, I think a series in Netflix’s with the Daredevil formula would be great for the character. Obviously there would have to be some change( Ebony White , All women he hits on, etc) But it could be The Spirits comeback like Daredevil !! Plus after the Frank Miller movie. The character really deserves a fresh star

[@_Snafu_]

I ask you though if you change too much about the characters- pigeon holing them into shallow representations of their former selves- would it still be anything worth watching. Even with the Daredevil formula? It wouldn’t be the Spirit you loved I promise you it would always feel off.

[@justin42520]

I feel like you probably haven't read the new series that DC released along with the others that Dynamite Entertainment did that successfully updated the character. Not a lot about the character was changed up only except the environment with how they handled Ebony especially. That wasn't a jab on the first sentence but there are a few resources that definitely showed off the character in a much better light that Eisner wanted in his later years. The video did mention the update on the characters but I do highly recommend it since it is a fun series that definitely captures Eisner's original series In a modern setting. The Dynamite Entertainment version continues where the original series left off, but based around one of the last storylines of the character going missing on his own adventures while Central City spins into anarchy.

[@EmmettF.W.]

The Frank Miller movie itself was shit, but Gabriel Macht portrayed the Spirit really well.

[@eyeseer1]

Frank Miller sought to bank into films as he did with the Sin City series, but he couldn’t par with the original material of The Spirit.

[@oldmanlogan9616]

You should make more videos about these characters out of the Marvel/DC zone. I love them both, but It's nice to see different stuff sometimes.

[@jakebryant3445]

The Frank Miller movie was a horrible adaptation.

[@jaredgarcia8638]

It was post DK2, so is that any surprising?

[@williamkornegay1504]

I agree.

[@jonathanray5819]

COOL I LOVE Comics Awesomeness

[@MrSafior]

You should made a top aboot the best super heroes mada outside the USA. Or atlest made a video aboot them.

[@Lamont24012]

The Spirit beat batman in there crossover it was good . And Doc Savage was way ahead of batman athleticly in the crossover of all 3 of them which is a honest depiction I respect the story wasn't a fan boy issue .

[@diegom-a7970]

make a video about Blacksad and a video about Mark Millar

[@GalerieBD]

Here's an exclusive Will Eisner comic art show : kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHjbhKOGbJmBo9E

[@devinweathers7520]

hey boss would u do vamperilla

[@lilamdan]

1:06 What are they gonna do woth this character in next film?

[@GenerationWhyProductions]

So could you class the 2008 movie as a DC film? Also, if you have knowledge of American Splendor and it’s respective film, could that also be classed as a DC movie also?

[@camerongiles334]

Cool character but really underated and unpopular

[@soccerandtrack10]

[@tizkonfusionvoiceover2446]

the other elephant in the room i like the movie adaptation is not that bad

[@pious83]

So was the 80's film any better? I can't imagine it being much worse...

[@jakebryant3445]

I'm sure it's better than the Frank Miller film

[@hezekiahramirez6965]

It was better. It was coherent at least. It was a sitcom and very cheesy but if you like The Spirit there's a fair amount of charm in it. Those of us who are big fans are still waiting for a good adaptation but there's at least stuff to like in that version. Not very good but not terrible either.

[@darnellevans7183]

As a fan of will Eisner, I was very disappointed in the movie adaptation, which was horrible!

[@shehulkwerunthisfrankcastl9528]

Meeee Koo Koo squad

[@AbdouSefiani]

FIRST

[@_Snafu_]

Because he look bad it racist. One day we will be able to look back and judge by the character of a character not the look of a character.

[@niallreid7664]

Man he literally looks like some Jim Crow shit lol. Don't even try to defend that.

[@CJFCarlsson]

"The elepant in the room was the racist character ebony white". Spare me your cultural marxism.

[@lilamdan]

Not a racist character, just a racist character designer. If the character was racist, he wouldn't go to assist the whitey. If he is autoracist, how does he live
