Early cartoon was great, later character redesigns killed it for me though. Also the third movie looks like its gonna suck

>>37089942
Can't be worse than 2, right?

3rd movie looks horrible, makes me sad

I liked it. Pretty good characterization for a cartoon and the opening is probably the best opening ever.

>>37089942
>>37089967
3 will be an average at best movie and will feel strange seeing as it's been a full 10 years since MiB II

but it won't be bad

>>37089967
Yeah, but there is a lot of room for terrible in the space above part 2.

Cartoon fucking rocked from what I recall of it. Saw the first season is on dvd, haven't picked it up though. 2, besides being pretty terrible on it's own, annoyed me by not making a situation that would bring the cartoon into line with movie continuity (due to J flashing thinying L out of story)

No one talking about the comics?
for Shame /co/

>>37090147
The majority of people, even here, don't realize it was based on a comic. Even I barely believe it.

>>37089942

There were character redesigns? I do not recall.

>>37090147

It's amazing to think how different the comics are to the film and the cartoon.

And it's funny, since the MiB in this comic act a lot like what the "alleged" MiB act like in reality.

Providing they're real.

>>37089987
looks better than Avengers

Intro was kickass

I liked it, then I discovered that is a Marvel franchise and now I don't care anymore

>>37090147

Does anyone have the comics to post? I'd love to check them out. Sheer curiosity of course.

>>37090342
Hell...can anyone do that?

Shit, It's the series I'm watching at the moment!
Interesting factoids - Tony Shaloub does the voice of Jeebs, same as the movies, and they get Vincent D'Onofrio back to voice Edgar's vengeance-driven twin brother at one point.

>>37090373
you can't derail the thread !

this storytime is going to happen you wanting it or not

>>37090373
It wasn't originally. They sold the right to marvel before the first movie

>>37090317

Nah, I don't mean in general with film adaptions, I mean just for MiB in particular.

Like in the comic I think they shoot people if they are aware they've seen an alien to keep them quiet, whilst in the film they had the pen things that wiped your memory.

>>37090403

I don't want to derail it, I was just telling my experience

Will Smith claims he came up with the plot of MiB3, but doesn't it seem a lot like the episode where K gets accidentally neuralized and now he's a young man again, mentally?

The comic is completely different in every conceivable way. The character's names are the same (Jay, Kay, Zed), Except Jay is white, Zed's a computer, and the MiB are the villains of the comic

Can anyone post the gif of OPs image? The way they walk is just so cool.

Downloading first now...going to do first issue.

Just mediocre.

i was reallly hoping that the movie would somehow revolve around alpha from the cartoon

I have little hope, but the fact that we haven't seen much from trailers gives the chance there will be good stuff.

Thanks for the storytime. Reminds me of reading the original TMNT years after I saw the cartoons.

No problem

>>37091084

Well that was...very weird. Interesting though...but weird for sure.

>>37090903
It's neat...lots of sinister undertones.

Why didn't you guys tell me MiB3 was tomorrow?
I was planning on seeing Battleship then

Years ago I read on some alien conspiracy website talking about how the movie and cartoon sugarcoated "real" Men in Black compared to the comic. I think I understand what the guy meant now.

>>37091282
>Paying 10$ to see a movie based on a board game

How droll. Go see this.

>>37091326
I would never pay $10 too see it tickets are $6 at my local theater. It was basically an excuse to hang out with my friends and it looked like a good comedy. But seeing this is a much better idea

File: 1337907995264.jpg-(321 KB, 1024x1634, 01.jpg)

I'll pick up the storytime for at least the second issue. As much as I loved the first movie and the cartoon, the comic is a lot more interesting to me, partially because they didn't just deal with aliens.

Anyone else noticed that the plot of the movie is kind similar to one episode of the cartoon?

Basicly J get's his brain fucked up by an alien device, suddently he is the only one who can remember veteran MIB agents. Meanwhile in the present the MIB lose more and more of their high tech stuff and are reduced to a pittyfull small organization. In the end J has to travel back in time and stop a crazy alien believer who's neuralisation didn't worked, removing agents from time.

Not exactly like the movie but the idea of agents dissapearing and no one remembering them and a time travel into the past where J meets a young K is very similar.

Also anyone else pissed they not only wrote out L in the second movie but completely removed her from the MIB, instead of just saying she got transfered?

After the first movie this wouldn't have been such a problem, but after making an entire cartoon with her as one of the three main characters, this was just insulting.

File: 1337908353384.jpg-(508 KB, 1024x1634, 04.jpg)

Quoting this exchange was pretty much the one thing in the movie that was faithful to the comic.

File: 1337908461829.jpg-(448 KB, 1024x1634, 05.jpg)

>>37092183
Insult to injury, yeah. It wasn't bad enough they deprived us of a hot, breathy mortician lady?

>>37092183
>Anyone else noticed that the plot of the movie is kind similar to one episode of the cartoon?
Lots of people noticed that early on.

I'm actually excited for MIB3.

>>37092467
The season 2+ K voice and design worked so much better than the season 1 version.

Actually, I can't think of anyone who was worse after the design change,

File: 1337909223075.jpg-(531 KB, 1024x1634, 16.jpg)

I will say this - I much prefer the more streamlined neuralizer from the media.

I like how K is the only one who got a facelift.

>>37092637
They only released DVDs for season 1 - think they might only have the master cels/film for that season. At the very least they haven't cleaned up the episodes for HD airing.

By the by, the first season of the show is already on DVD as a Target exclusive.

Since Men in Black 3 is coming out tomorrow, I'm going to stream Men in Black tonight in approximately 15 minutes or so.

Stream link:
http://cartoons.streamchan.com

In the past I've streamed other things, like the entire Spawn Animated Series and several movies and the quality's quite good.

Until it's time for me to start the movie, I'm just going to be playing something on repeat, so if that annoys you either wait until it's time or pause the video.

Why is it SO taboo to rehash ideas from the other formats to movie audiences that haven't seen them yet?

I'd rather see them again than shit piles like Men in Black 2.

>>37090649

Didn't even have to be the Jackie Chan villain he was in the show. They could have just used the basic concept and written him 1 of a multiple number of ways.

You haven't missed much if you still want to jump in.

>>37092637
But MIB the Series is on Netflix. Though I hate that the pitch is high on the opening for it (and a bit high on the rest of the show, frankly). It feels totally weird for someone who used to watch it a fair bit. Contrast:
