2. The Legion of Superheroes
The Legion could be an X-Men level franchise if treated properly.
A group of teenaged heroes in the 30th century, inspired by the legendary heroism of Superman, the Legion vacillates between “children’s club with too many rules†and “teenaged rebellion of Les Mis proportionsâ€.
Many people pick on the Legion for overly complex storytelling and characters with absurd powers. These people confuse me. The Legion is about as comic book-y as it gets, and without those overly complicated storylines, we would not have modern comic books. Do you love it when characters die and come back and lose limbs and turn evil? The Legion did all’a that first. And with such a large cast, a core team of these characters would really give a filmmaker something to dig into.
Want to know what a Legion movie would be like? Think X-Men meets Star Trek. Sold yet? I thought so.
