SInce Avengers did so well, could we be seeing a day where....

The Scott Pilgrim books got a huge boost from the movie, which is weird considering the movie didn't do all that well.

No real mystery here. There are a couple hundred thousand people who buy comics on a regular basis and almost all of them never heard of the character before the movie came out. Well even a flop of a movie will be seen by a million people and millions more will have heard of it so all those people who read comics but never heard of Scott Pilgrim became aware of the property for the first time and thus a few of those decided to check it out via trade.

I don't realy think you want that with ongoing comics. There will always be compromises and changes to make stories fit better into a movie. If a comicbook gets a salesboost through a movie, Marvel or DC would actually stumble over their own legs to get the comics as close to the movies as possible. That's why we got the Joker OGN with a Joker being extremely close to the movie version.

This makes me sad. When they are made into movies they are simplified and alot of the bulk of what's what be it batman or avengers gets left behind for the sake of making a thrilling movie that's not 6 hours long. I get it, I don't mind it really but I seriously dislike that due to a minor interest/success it might have the comics are simply butchered be it in minor or major ways. Often it's costumes.
I don't mean to come across as unreasonable but I don't want captain America looking like he movie counterpart. I hate the green lantern Glow in the dark flesh suit and hawkeye looking like his ultimates counterpart. I love hawkeyes costume and all it's variations his look is all his own, why deviate from it.
Fine.. Them making a nick fury jr that just so happens to look like the Samuel L Jackson ultimates fury is fine.. He isn't THE nick fury and they are are at least attempting to branch it out into it's own mythos within the comics not simply changing things for no real reason.
The lazy execution of introducing movie elements into the comic universe is sad.

I'm thinking that maybe Joss wanted to see emotion or thinks that masks don't translate all that well into movie costumes. I'm not sure if Ultimate Hawkeye wore a mask since I haven't read much of the Ultimate Universe. But didn't Captain America lose almost his whole skullcap/mask fairly early on in the last big fight? The only reason I could think that happened was to be able to show more of Chris Evans's face. But that's just a guess on my part. And while Stark has the Iron Man helmet, it was easy to follow previous movies in showing Tony Stark's face inside the helmet.

Ultimate hawkeye is much like the movie version in fact almost exactly the same down to the outfit much like ultimate nick fury is Samuel L Jackson. He later on wears a mask when he Gains a death wish after the murder of his family by his partner black widow but that was a redesign done in ultimates 3 that frankly was rather horrible and resembled more a bulkseye character even going as far as to have the 'shoot here I don't care if I die' target/bullseye on his forehead. A mask devoid of any possible exspression.
The above is much of my point. The movie versions seems tailored after the ultimates incarnation even down to the wetworks/assassin origins shared in being a member of sheild and his partnership and trust in blackwidow so why go so far as to warp his 616 incarnation who has always worn a mask.
I know it's a small thing but i feel the same as if they would attempt to change iron mans armor to seem more like that of the movie a obvious step backwards in the characters development in tech.

You make much sense, I won't take away from that and it makes me think from another perspective. Your correct that much facial exspression would be lost and I also noticed the removal of captain Americas mask near the end of the final battle. Thanks for giving me something to think about. =D
