Which Comic Book Adaptation Is Truly the Greatest?

Hey guys, I'm Jack O'Shea

And I'm Mikayla Pascal. And this is Who's On Top, the show where we each rank our top five favorite things

about an exciting topic, and then you tell us who made the best list, or..

Who's on top. Who's on top. So today, Mikayla, we are going to be ranking

the best comic book movies ever made. Okay, so movies that were made based on comic books

Yes, and actually, while I've been making my list, I've been sort of excluding a lot of the Marvel movies

basically all of the Marvel movies. There's just so many comic book movies in that Marvel Universe that it's like I would put the Marvel Cinematic Universe as number one. Yeah

But it's all like one story. I'm thinking of movies that were really based on like one comic book or graphic novel

Here's the thing. Good old Michaela has never opened a comic book in her life

So, you guys are just getting what movies are like. And so, suck it. Okay

What's your number five? My number five was rankers number 10. Guardians of the Galaxy

I know it's in the MCU, but it feels, even though, you know, they're obviously involved in all the movies

it does feel kind of like it's a little side story. Yeah. And I am just a really big fan of Guardians of the Galaxy

I think it's one of Marvel's best franchises. I've never heard of any of the Guardians of the Galaxy things. Same

And then when people are like, it's awesome, I'm like, I don't know, we'll see it. Dance off, bro

Me and you. Okay, so my number five was Ranker's number 46, Kick-Ass

I love Kick-Ass. Who are you? I'm Kick-Ass. That movie is so badass. Yeah

Nicolas Cage, that might be his best role. Yeah. That might be his best role as Big Daddy

The scene in Kick-Ass when Big Daddy is being tortured. No! Take over, child

He's just yelling at the time. Now he is Da And then she does it It awesome I love Kick Kick is great Alright so my number four is rankers number 61 Transformers Transformers Was that based on a comic book

I wouldn't know because I haven't picked up a comic book in my life. So if you're mad at me, you can't be

Yeah, Sam Witwicky? Of course. Listen, I was like just young enough to where I was just getting into action movies

and I was like, this is the coolest thing ever. And of course Michael Bay just blew everything up

But yeah, I just love this series so much. I think it's very entertaining

Okay, so my number four was Ranker.com's number 30, V for Vendetta, based on the graphic novel

by Alan Moore. V for Vendetta, it's just, it's so iconic, especially now with like the anonymous masks

Yes. Like the anonymous symbol. Yeah. And isn't this episode coming out on

Is this coming out on the 5th of November? Remember? Remember? Remember

Remember, remember the 5th of November. Okay, my number three is ranked at number 14, which I'm surprised it's number 14, but I don't know

Dark Knight Rises. That was one of those movies where when it came out, nobody shut up about it

I saw it like seven times. Yeah, watching the rest of any DC movie now, it's like they're kind of a joke

But that movie was so good. But Bane, I mean, best traps in the game though too. Absolutely

Tom Hardy, he only did drugs. All your money! Good stuff. What's your number three

Okay, so my number three is Ranker.com's number 35, another Alan Moore project, Watchmen

The one downside of Watchmen is you can see it and not immediately walk into the theater light a cigarette and go like the world a f up place Like you just get so invested in this world I down to watch watch men

whenever you want to watch, watch, men. Okay, it's a date. I love Powerborn

Anyway, my number two is Riker's number 44, which is a little bit of a cheat code

the way they put this on the list. So I had to put it in just the Avengers franchise. Oh, that is such a cheat code

I don't know. It's like, I love all of the Avengers. Obviously they all go together. It's the center of the MCU

It's just probably one of the most incredible franchises in movie history

The MCU is seriously... The most impressive thing ever. I struggle to think of a more impressive cinematic accomplishment

I think the MCU is just a little bit less impressive than Amazon

Yeah. It's like up there where it's like, the people who strung this whole thing together

it's like, dude, they should be working for the Department of Defense the way that they can string things, connect sh**

Very, very, very, very impressive. I know Endgame was like the big one or whatever, but I'd probably go with Infinity War

Yeah, Infinity War was really good. Because it was so... Yeah. I don't wanna go

I don't wanna go. Sorry, please. What's your number two? My number two is Ranker's number 11

It's Logan. Have you seen Logan? I have. I kinda could only watch that movie once

I mean, talk about a great way to have like Hugh Jackman is getting too old to play Wolverine

which let's be real, no he's not. At the end when, spoiler alert, he dies and she's big

basically like they're burying him and she stays and she's just crying

I was in the theater, I was with friends. And I was just like not even worried about it

I was just like, I was just literally sobbing. I was with my friends. Yeah

What's your number one? This might surprise you. So it's rankers over 17

I put the first Wonder Woman movie. I literally put on my notes on this I put not WW84 I had never been so let down

It's so hard to tell like, okay, does this movie actually suck or are people reviewing

it just like misogynistic assholes? Yes. And we were watching it and it was like kind of pretty shitty

And I was like, who got this? I don't know if it'll come back. The whole plot was how to get around the whole three wishes thing

I'm going to wish. I really wish I had a coffee. Wishing us. I do know what I'd wish for

Then your wish is granted. Your wish is granted. Wonder Woman 84 set the woman's rights being a black

Five years. True or false? Because the first one was so good. That was, to me, up with the Batmans where they absolutely killed it

Patty Jenkins kicked ass with this one. I was so excited she was coming back for the second one

I remember being originally really skeptical about the casting for Wonder Woman

I wasn't really feeling. Miss Gal Gadot, but then she showed up. My number one

is Ranker's number one. This is actually the only mainstream one, obviously, but yeah, I had to do it. It's The Dark Knight

How could I not put The Dark Knight number one when I literally compared it to Godfather 2

Greatest villain ever. Kind of, like you said, it set up the DC universe

but it also kind of set it up for failure. A little bit, yes

Because then when they give you on like a nice little plot of Batman versus Superman

And it's like, what is this ? Send it back to the kitchen. It set the tone

It set the bar way too high. If they had kept it up, it would be like, OK, DC movies

are all going to be nominated for Oscars. That's the tone it set. There's no way they could compete with it

And that's why it became just such a jumble. And now they're basically just trying to do Marvel movies

It's one of the best movies ever. I don't think I'm really controversial saying that

Bye
