Man-Thing (2005)

As the boys continue tredging through their Miscellaneous Marvel characters, this week they have run into a doozy. Man Thing is a character who hung out with Howard The Duck in the comics. But other than that, there’s not much identification with him apart from being a side show character made up right around the time DC’s Swamp Thing made its first appearance. So who better to bring it to the screen other than the one man who was sued by Children of the Corn’s creator Stephen King. That’s right, the boys already covered filmmaker Brett Leonard when they reviewed The Lawnmower Man last year. And here they’re doing it again, as Leonard brought an origin story with him, along with a horror aesthetic, and the chick from 2007’s Transformers. As Garrett, Adam, and Matt already covered the SciFi channel original Children of the Corn remake from 2009, will they still have any venom left for this other SciFi original, which was originally supposed to go to theaters. And oh yeah, was produced by future Marvel powerhouse producer himself Kevin Feige.
