(DC i.e. Metropolis) As for plantes such as Krypton, other life sustaining planets don't really exist so that doesn't matter. I love Black Panther. He's just so awesome. Part of the reason is just that his character is a big cat. And I love animals. I have really been meaning to see the Hellboy movies, but I'm waiting till my mom is gone sometime cause she doesn't like us to watch scary movies. Ha. I mean, "scary." Also my movie watch list is getting just tooo long. Maybe sometime I will get like, all the movies ever and just watch TV for all day.
The Hellboy movies are decent, but they're very PG-13. Not that violence and super adult content is a staple of the comic series or anything, but the tone is a lot darker in the comics. There's some unnecessary humor in the movies that really rubs me the wrong way.
And I mean, Marvel is known for using fake locations too, but the thing that really bothers me about DC is that they focus way more on the Superhero than the actual person behind it, and that just leads to huge continuity errors and stuff like that.
Black Panther is cool because he was literally the first black superhero in mainstream media. The first. That's a huge deal, and his entire story is pretty non-caricatured for the time. The lore and religion behind his powers is pretty interesting too. Obviously his stuff isn't being serialized anymore, which is a damn shame in my eyes. I mean, he's not really a big cat, it's more with what the entire Black Panther thing represents rather than the actual animal itself. Even though his name pre-dates the Black Panther Party (which was a party of Black Supremacists in the United States during the '60's) it was kind of a black pride thing that was going on there, which HAD NOT been seen before in comics.
If you like Spiderman, you might want to check out Deadpool. He's not really in movies, but his entire relationship with Spiderman in the comics is really cool.
