GPC Episode 7 - The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
Guilty Pleasures Cinema | Posted on Tuesday, May 8, 2012 at 6:58PM
The GPC returns with easily the most widely hated source yet, and yet it has so much in common with what has just become THE all-time box office weekend champion... Is comparing the two blasphemy? Pff heck no, Avengers Schmavengers (ok no that movie is AWESOME) but its now time for The League of Extraordinady Gentlemen!
Super big thanks to Rob Quinn at Hill City Comics and Jennifer White for once again helping out too!
Oh and the blurry text that shows up (you'll know it when you see it) is the 'it didn't render like in the preview' close-up of the poster focusing on the title "Marvel's The Avengers"... hmm who would that aggrivate?

Holy potatoes, that was long!
But totally worth it. =D The Avenegrs homaging was awesome and funny. But how does Purple Widow stay like that without the crown? ;)
A great look at a frustrating movie. I don't like it as much as you, for many of the reasons you cite, namely that it crapped all over the comics. But I do respect and can enjoy it as an entity unto itself.
But you defend the movie well, and it is easy to see why this is a small cultish film. The parallels to Avengers are almost frightening!

the cross referencing was pretty good, but whats a shif?
