========================
Matt Brady, the author of the article on the LSH in Wizard #59,
was present and indicated that the response to the article had
been positive. He indicated that further positive feedback sent
to Wizw...@aol.com might increase chances of future Legion
articles.
Tom had finished the coloring proofs on Legion Archives volume 6.
Jeff observed that character deaths were sadly a fact of the
Legion.
Gates real name may show up soon.
The creators are discussing what Inferno's real name should be.
Plans have not yet been made for a Mary Marvel/LSH team up.
Tom would like to see Shadow Lass sometime--he'd like to color
her skin blue again.
Tom doesn't know if Timber Wolf will be normal or in furball form
when he shows up in the postboot.
Tom points out that Wildfire will be in the upcoming LSH annual.
He further observed that no one said the annuals were Elseworlds,
and that the Legion annuals were a little different. They have
put Legion characters in the Legion annuals.
Tom complimented Jeff on the sketches of new characters for L*
#43 that Jeff had done. Tom wouldn't identify the sketches, but
indicated that Tyroc was a bad guess.
The postboot Dream Girl will still foresee events in her dreams.
Her dreams will hint at future plotlines.
Superman will be the first guest star in the 20th century
storyline in LSH. The Deadman appearance was delayed to LSH #86
for the story's sake.
The Legion will be appearing in one of the Superman titles, but
Tom wasn't sure which title. Tom would like to see Stuart
Immonen draw the Legion again.
Editor Kevin Dooley stopped by the chat and announced that the
Legionnaires will be appearing in SOVEREIGN SEVEN and GREEN
LANTERN.
Tom indicates that Shvaughn Erin will be along to act as
adult/mentor for the Legionnaires in the 20th century. Tom
figures her age to be at least 22. She's the only 20th century
bound character that can drive.
Jeff observes that the 20th century characters will not stay in
the past. They will return to the 30th century.
Jeff thinks the better characters are going to the 20th century.
He'd like to keep Spark.
Apparition will show up again in LSH #83. Tom indicates that she
is not dead, never was dead, and still (sort of) has her powers.
She can fly and still go through walls. Her survival will be
explained eventually. LSH #86 will explain a lot.
Tom is glad that LSH #83 will come out after the Chicago
convention, but figures that there will be Previews at the con
for fans to review.
The 30th century team will be adding at least 4 new members after
the split. The characters will be mostly new faces.

Probably because the Legion concept (set in the future anyway, based around
the idea of a type of team rather than any particular character) let them
do so?

He's only handling one of the characters, and he's subject to the same
editorial approval as to what he can do.

The Legion could take him. Hell, Triad could take him.
BTW, KC indicated in the 6/11 chat that there are no plans for a Legion/GL
crossover. I've given up trying to figure it out, and will spend the rest
of my speculative time trying to figure out if there are plans for Ferro. :)

Pity. Gates is one of the few Legionnaires that I prefer to be known
as just his hero ID. I'd rather his real name were unpronounceable.
>Plans have not yet been made for a Mary Marvel/LSH team up.
But the Ferro/Mary Marvel teamup is preceding apace, I understand. :)
>Editor Kevin Dooley stopped by the chat and announced that the

Aaargh. I'm mildly curious to see Claremont do the Legion, but the
news that Marz is getting his hands on the Legion is not good news.

Eh, the worst that can come out of this is a bad story. It's not like Marz
is going to measure the team for Frigidaires or anything.
And KC Carlson denied the GL crossover in the 6/11 chat.

"Ti'Julk Mr'Asz" is pronounce "Ti-julk Mer-az". And "Ayla" rhymes with

Volume 5 reprinted up through Adventure 349. Volume 6 should take us
through issues 350-360, covering Sir Prize & Miss Terious, the Fatal
Five and Ferro Lad, the Adult Legion, and the Legion Chain Gang. Man,
what a great volume! (And hopefully we'll be spared Mantis Morlo from

Sorry, I should have been more specific. It's pronounced "Tih-julk".
First syllable sounds like the first two letters of "tick", and "julk"
has the same "oo" sound as "book", not rhyming with "Hulk".

If I recall right, she was yet another 20th century history buff
(along with Rokk, R.J., etc.), and given v.r. capabilities might
have actually driven a car, in a manner of speaking, before.
I'll assume they have the flight rings, but occasionally want
to travel inconspicuously in a car. Good. I like it when
they dress "normal" when visiting. How long has that been...

Hmmmmm I notice they've established Thom as the worst driver
in the LSH, of spaceships, anyways. Piloted into a comet
by mistake, did he?

Tinya's survival could be related to the way that her phasing power works.
Perhaps it's an alternate from of Astral projection, with the physical body
being shunted into an alternate dimension for safe keeping. If there's a
delay between the astral and physical forms seperating, and the physical
form being hiden, you could conceivably kill it.

If true, the second is going to irritate a lot of people in this
newsgroup who seem to hate Kyle Raynor (who, IMO, should be replaced by
his Frankie Raynor incarnation from DR STRANGEFATE).

Andrew looked up from his commemorative LSH/LSV chess set when he heard someone using Iain McCord's account
say:
I believe she is still dead and acting alive. She may believe she made it into Jo,
but her body was clearly there, burned to a crisp, and buried. She is something
else now. TPTB said she was not coming back to life, I hold them to that. She's
back, dead, but still back. I don't think she really realised she didn't make it,
this may in some way be a manifestation Ultra Boy's ultra-energy... remember, it
was never completely defined. In an extreme case of physical duress, it made him
intangible to keep him alive. This is a case of extreme mental duress. For all
we know, this might not even be her, but a creation of his ultra energy sub-
consciously... but I don't believe that. I believe that her spirit, perhaps helped
by his Ultra-Energy, was kept around for some reason. Deadman might be able to help,
it'd be interesting if she can inhabit other people...

I somehow doubt that Mr. Big will write the Legion, and that
Wayne Boring (rip?) will draw it.

So I was thinking about how much fun we all could have if they ever
made a legion movie... griping about how the ruined everything...
bitching about pronounciation of names... griping about actor
choices... which [clever seguay] leads into this:
If they were making the Legion as the "summer blockbuster" what actors
should play what parts?
I'm not even going to ATTEMPT to share my thoughts (I play this game
with my other film student friends where we try to come up with the
most utterly attrocious casting possible ie Hamlet with Jim Varney and
Pee Wee Herman as Roz and Guil and James Earl Jones as the title
<<G>>)
Well maybe one. wouldn't it be a hoot to see Christopher Walken play
Macauley? He can do the evil mega-billionare (Shrek from Batman II)
but he can do that dead pan evil, slimey, wierdo, streak that Macauley
needs.
Well Legion fans... who else?

Welcome to rec.arts.comics.dc.lsh, Brad. It's always great to have a new
voice here, and we hope you'll stick around and contribute.
Unfortunately, your question doesn't belong in this newsgroup even though it
is related to the Legion of Super-Heroes. Your question is what we call the
"casting call" question, and there's a special newsgroup where such
discussions are on-topic. You'll probably get several people pointing you
to the correct newsgroup, rec.arts.comics.other-media, and I hope they're
all polite pointers.
Feel free to repost your question in that newsgroup. Hopefully, anyone
interested in discussing the potential cast of the Legion movie will
accompany you there.
Why isn't the casting call discussion on topic in this newsgroup? Mostly
because those discussions periodically occur about all the characters, and
the discussion became old hat to many of the people that have been on the
rac.* groups for a while. Finally, the rec.arts.comics.other-media group
was created at least in part as the appropriate place for the casting call
discussions that many posters still find interesting.

I genuinely don't think LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES would make a good
live-action movie. It would make a TERRIFIC animated feature, though. If
Warner could ever get a solidly running feature animation division
running...wow.

Who would be in a Legion movie? Unknowns, of course. A cast of unknown
teens would be the only way to do it. Known actors in comic book
adaptations never work - look at the Bat-films. The Superman movies and
Lois and Lois & Clark work because the stars were virtual unknowns. It
would be better to have the stars limited to villain roles and supporting
parts, and even then, good acting rather than name appeal should be the
criterion.

Well I hate to disagree, but I've just been reading the pronounciation guide
from Who's Who #16, which agrees that it's pronounced Ay-la. I'm with you on
Gim's name though.
