Swamp Thing

I've always liked Swamp Thing. Ever since I was a kid, I watched the absolute hell out of my "The Return of Swamp Thing" vhs, and I had action figures and everything. In retrospect, I kind of like the Wes Craven original more, but while the Manfredini score of the original is great, you just can't beat the start of the second movie, which plays "Born on the Bayou".

So yeah, I like both movies, even though part 2 is super cheesy. I think a lot of my love for that movie is from nostalgia, and all those feels I had as a kid watching it. I'm pretty sure it sucks though, but I really can't tell.

Both movies had Dick Durock playing Swamp Thing, and he even came back for the tv series in the early 90s. Sadly, I'm a pretty shitty fan, because I've seen next to nothing of that tv show. I might binge it some year, but speaking of tv shows...

There he is again! After a quarter of a century, Swamp Thing will be crawling out of the muck once again for another live-action movie. How has it taken the powers that be this long to jump on the Swamp Thing bandwagon again?

The show might actually be alright. They have Derek Mears playing Swamp Thing, and he's been in some cool things. Even if the F13 remake sucks, he was awesome in it.

I'm feeling somewhat optimistic with this news.


Any thoughts on DC's ugly monster and his movies/shows/comics?
