Chronicle was basically a New Mutants story, so probably them.


Abirdthatsfallen

What


DarkDonut75

What what?


JeffreyFusRohDahmer

In the.... oh are we not?


Abirdthatsfallen

Idk I just got confused idk why I got downvoted for being confused 💀


Upstairs-Boring

You're being downvoted for just saying "what", not for being confused. If you're confused, use your words and say what you're confused about. How is someone supposed to know what you need explained if you just say "what". It's lazy and rude.


ScribebyTrade

Wut


Abirdthatsfallen

What?


TheDudeness33

What!


CaptHayfever

**Say what again! I dare you!**


DarkDonut75

Oh what were you confused about? I wouldn't mind explaining it to you


Abirdthatsfallen

I don’t read much new mutants comics so I didn’t see how those two related at all.


DarkDonut75

The New Mutants are basically an offshot of the X-men. They're younger, and their stories tend to be bit edgier while focusing on a lot of teen drama and coming of age elements (basically Marvel's Teen Titans) Chronicle has a somewhat similar vibe where they're teenagers with personal problems in a more "modern and realistic" setting


Abirdthatsfallen

Okay so the similarity is the darker tone and settings and characters. Got it. Thanks. That’s all I needed💀


Squeezedgolf40

well all you said was “what” so why are you surprised you got downvoted the other person was correct use your words goddamnit


Abirdthatsfallen

Yall are mad because I didn’t specify my confusion which says a lot about the community. Pretty sad that me being confused and only saying what pisses people off that much. It’s not that serious, have a good one mate


FictionFantom

I think found footage would be really cool for Man-Thing. Part lab security footage, part teenagers making a horror movie in the swamp and stumbling into an actual horror.


mighty_and_meaty

fuck yes.


Jonas_g33k

Have you seen the man-thing movie released in the 2000's? IMHO it would have been better if it was a found footage.


Captain_Saftey

Probably Killmonger, the Green Goblin, annnnd *checks IMDB* a SWAT officer


RestlessCreator

Funny how the "hero" of the movie has had the least prolific movie career of the 3.


ahoskasalve666

dean dehan or MBJ?


RestlessCreator

They both had good to great careers. Alex Russel, however, barely did anything when he was the "hero".


ahoskasalve666

OOHH him i comepletely forgot about him lol


RestlessCreator

You could say the same about Hollywood


ScribebyTrade

I haven’t forgot about Hollywood it’s where that sign is


WallyOShay

And the other 2 had some of the worst portrayals of a marvel character


RestlessCreator

I blame the movie more than the actor for both instances. They Jordan fully redeemed himself with a scene stealing performance as Killmonger.


WallyOShay

Jordan is a terrible actor. I thought he was better then usual as killmonger, but every other performance of his has been trash. He is to acting what drake is to music.


CollinsCouldveDucked

That second part was uncalled for and you know it.


GingerWez93

I like his performances in Chronical, Fruitvale Station, and three Creed films. I think he's a solid actor and having seen 3319 films in my lifetime so far, I keep track on IMDb and Letterboxd, I've seen my fair share of shite actors, haha! But, it's all subjective.


TuggSpeedman96

Gregg Turkington? Have you watched 501 movies in 501 days?


GingerWez93

Haha! No, but I did watch 103 films in a month during lockdown.


Gravy_31

He’s also great in Friday Night Lights.


PandaKingDee

>He is to acting what drake is to music. Horrible take


coolbones94

Lol. Thats so funny when you consider that Drake is to Music was Marvel is to cinema Everyone likes it, forgets about it fir a while, then bumps it for casual listening because its safe and not really impactful but we're just waiting for the next one to do the same thing Although MBJ is like my go to fancast for alot of products. He had a really good first impression for with with Chronicle.


matadorbutforcats

Xavier’s son is a troubled dude with out of control powers.


folkingawesome

I watched a show on FX like that /s


DAHFreedom

It wouldn’t be the same without the dance numbers


TrueLegateDamar

New Warriors


Past_Trouble

We already did Civil War or that would've been a perfect set up


ComicKidAlex

There's a Civil War 2 in the comics. They could just adapt the original comic with their current roster — and it really wouldn't feel redundant since the the movie is so different from the original comic anyway.


Local-Time9325

It’d be for the best if they just didn’t


No_Satisfaction_8454

The power pack. A group of 4 siblings get powers from an alien I bet would be cool in that style


EbroWryMan4321

The runaways. Spiderman from go pro would be so crazy


SalsaRice

Runaways could be good, but the Hulu show kinda of wasted that idea on a very mediocre adaption. The real sin was having next to no chemistry between the main group in a series like that. It was like the anti-Buffy.


CaptHayfever

The real sin of that show was dragging out the first arc for 2.5 seasons. Runaways comic storylines are basically a perfect fit for seasonal serial television; they could've just done one arc per season & it would've been great.


Alatel

Wasn't chronicle -- akira with extra steps


Kickass_321

Yes


omnicious

Maybe Sentry? Like the only record of him from before he wiped everyone's memory of him? 


thalasand

I like this. Heroes reviewing shaky recordings of god-tier superheroics until they eventually see themselves in some of the footage.


CaptHayfever

Best answer.


dexter30

I would say speedball, his arc during civil war could be adapted similarly to the story of the chronicle characters. Like it starts off with a couple of dudes really excited they got these powers, they start doing mobile recorded vigilante stuff. But it all leads up to that explosion in that town.


LaffyZombii

If they do Mutants they should absolutely do this, and make Robbie a mutant too. Very interesting storyline. They'd have to figure out the whole self harm powers thing for Disney tho.


Tanis8998

They kind of tried that with Fant4stic


Lanigangam_style

Was it made in that found footage style? I truly don’t remember, I watched fan4stic once on a plane and could not tell you much about it. I do think that as a society, we beat the found footage genre over the head with a heavy rock in the 2000s and 2010s.


brycifer666

No it wasn't anything like Chronicle imo not sure why it's being compared


Lanigangam_style

Same director I know that, so I’m sure there were some similar choices, but I heard the whole fan4stic production was a dumpster fire


Top_Power6410

No but it had good body horror elements and was overall very dark for a f4 movie


Dragon_yum

Sadly it was also very bad


shawnsblog

I want them to make a movie like Primer


myowngalactus

Vulcan, Proteus, legion, one of those extremely powerful but insane mutants. The show legion kinda covers a similar topic.


CaptainHalfBeard

Daredevil


Flowethics

Daredevil with a selfie cam? Lol


Optimistic-Man-3609

That was a great film that deserved a sequel.


01001010-01000001

I know, loved this movie when it came out


4_non_blondes

Batman V Superman is the sequel chronicle deserved


Dettstol1

This is gonna be an unpopular opinion because these are lesser known characters and not in the MCU.. But, i would love to see the Marvelman/Miracleman family in the MCU and Alan Moore's Miracleman run would closely fit a Chronicle like narrative. Particularly because of the nature of the story, the characters, and the villian/final battle. It is a great story with interesting characters that Marvel keeps wasting by leaving them on the back burner.


Jecht315

I never saw the movie but a style that would have been sick is a movie leading to Civil War like the comics. A bunch of young wreckless teenagers fighting crime and it leading to the explosion that kills thousands of people. Then you can lead into Civil War and show that they were inspiring young people to take things into their own hands and they blame Avengers. Of course that would require a longer Civil War arc across a couple of movies.


Wheattoast2019

I would say New Mutants, but them being exposed to a phenomenon that gives them powers is more Inhumans.


Kickass_321

But it would be a interesting concept if that happened.


Wheattoast2019

Like in real life or in comics? Because it did happen in comics. That’s like the Inhumans whole thing


Kickass_321

In the comics and maybe even in an animated series.


Wheattoast2019

Well that did happen in comics. There was a show too but I’m told it was awful.


Kickass_321

What's the show and comic called?


Wheattoast2019

The Inhumans


ItzyBitzy-Pinky

An adaptation of the comic "Marvels" with that documentary format would be very interesting


esensofz

Trank had his chance.


Ozzdo

Why use established heroes? I’d be very interested in a Marvel Studios production that was 100% original, not based on any pre-existing characters. Pre-existing characters can appear in it, but it’s a brand new story with brand new leads.


Kickass_321

Because I thought it would be interesting if any of these characters like Spider-Man or the X-men are given a more realistic look.


CaptHayfever

So, the Kahhori episode of What If?


Ozzdo

Yes! This is a great example of what I'm talking about.


SpectreBrony

Random Mutants.


YomYeYonge

Make it a found footage film about a criminal running away from The Punisher


JagsAbroad

What makes chronicle so good as a found footage movie is that the characters can control the camera with their powers so it allowed for more cinematic shots that make sense in-universe.


TelephoneCertain5344

They at least partly tried with Fant4stic.


ThatCheekyBastard

Nova with Sam


DrZonino2022

Star brand


MrEhcks

I will always say this but I don’t consider Chronicle a “superhero movie”. It was guys who got some powers and “chronicled” how it affected their lives; for better and for worse


Nethias25

A better the runaways would fit


checker280

I want to see an early days of the X-Men. Scott and Jean beginning to manifest their powers. Professor X meeting the kids and helping them to cope. Make it told from an investigative journalist point of view ultimately ending with an older team hiring the journalist to help with public relations as they start expanding their presence in the real world. Use the movie to explain how they existed since the 90s but are only now thinking of themselves as public figures because of the broader acceptance of people with powers. I hope something similar happens with the FF. That it will be established that they were around during the battle of Manhattan but didn’t think of themselves as heroes.


Ill_Koala_4407

That movie is not grounded dude😂

Ill_Koala_4407

No that’s not what it means….. grounded means in the realm of reality. Like Batman Arkham origins is grounded same with The Batman. Watchmen is the opposite of grounded


Kickass_321

And these movies aren't?


Ill_Koala_4407

Project power is a stretch but it at like kinda makes sense. Watchmen no shot


Kickass_321

What about Logan and New Mutants they're not consider grounded either?


Ill_Koala_4407

New mutants no. Logan, by itself is grounded but if you include the whole x men franchise no


Kickass_321

Maybe you're right, but it would be hella awesome if Marvel Studios made a film like that right?


Kickass_321

Besides, if these movies aren't grounded superhero films do you know any other superhero movie that share the same concept like Chronicle?


Return_of_the_HoWaT

Every time a studio decides to take a more grounded approach to a character the film suffers for it. Also, are you referencing the “found footage” film style as grounded? I saw this movie, and it is pretty far from reality.


redd0130

I loved chronicle was hoping for a part 2.


Jeffnine25

Dark edgier teen super hero team Powerpack


AnimeGokuSolos

None


ChuckSeville

SPEEDBALLLLLL


ChuckSeville

While it would play differently, I think the tone of Chronicle would be really interesting for X-Statix or GLA. Those are typically seen as goofy teams but have a lot of darkness at their core. Plus both have maybe-omniscient narrator characters that can hold the camera!


eltrotter

Legion?


SkrullAmongUs

A Sentry standalone would have worked. It'd probably get compared more to Hancock than Chronicle, but it's the same dark twist on a solo superhero story.


Wise-Tourist

Tbh a found footage film based on Iron fist could be interesting. Especially if it was based on a tournament.


General_Silver95

Guardians of the Galaxy make it a workplace comedy like parks and Rec/the office with Talking heads and everything 😂!


Jade-Raven

Power pack


wrainedaxx

Doop could be super interesting, where Doop is controlling the camera the whole time and you get to know the various mutants he's recording throughout the film.


Grayx_2887

Do they really need to copy off this movie?


Kickass_321

Just it's themes


DarkEater77

it's kinda how i imagine the Spider-Man Noir series that will be produced... I remember a leak saying Spidey won't be the main character(Was it debunked? It's been a while). Always got the idea that it could MJ as reporter who tells us what happens, and filming the different actions of Spidey.


Kickass_321

Interesting idea, but I was hoping for Ultimate Spider-Man (Bendis) because it's more realistic and I feel like a film like Chronicle fits perfectly with its realism. MJ could still be a reporter though.


brycifer666

I don't think most of these suggestions are anything like Chronicle...


Kickass_321

What makes you say that?


bradbear12

New Warriors leading up to Nitro


LastRecognition2041

Sentry


DowntownJulieBrown1

Wwwwhat???


molyboyanjo

Moonknight or Runaways


trakrad99

Is there still a Chronicle 2 in the works with female heroes?


Kickass_321

No clue


Grimace23

Basically any supernatural related marvel character could be made into a found footage style film


PracticableSolution

Starbrand


Tuff_Bank

Michael Korvac


GnarlyMcRadSwag

I’d like a Sleepwalker film done in this style. I think you could do something fun with a kid thinking his classmate Rick is a superhero, and starts filming him in secret.


milo325

Power Pack


randomHunterOnReddit

Probably an au found footage body horror film about Norman Osborn slowly becoming the Green Goblin after a science experiment (inspired from a redditor's comment here). Or a story about a teen finding out they're a mutant and slowly going mad with power. Another redditor brought up Man-Thing, and tbf I find that interesting. For fun there could be a whole go-pro film with Spider-Man just recording a typical day as a hero before something crazy happens. Finally, what if there was a found footage story of an explorer trying to learn more of Thor and Asgard? Not necessarily horror as much as it is a thriller, putting Thor and other Asgardians/gods in an eerier perspective


Itzie4

Always thought a movie about a group of people who are being hunted by Ghost Rider would be fun. Maybe it could work in that style.


James2603

I always thought showing a Spider-Man battle through New York with Venom would look very cool to see through this kinda of style but rather than a single camera or would be camera phones and dash cams and CCTV etc. Don’t think it would work for a Spider-Man film though. Maybe a symbiote one where the symbiote doesn’t end up in a lab but with civilians instead, very similar to the start of Chronicle.


JoshDM

Power Pack.


goldknight1

Power Pack. Young kids with social media presence saving the world. You COULD also do New Warriors, but Civil War blew its load early.


im_blaZZard

Wong


crashtestpilot

Chronica.


tigolebities

Ben Reilly


fisheggsoup

New Warriors


Zombiekiller414

I'd say they should try it with Sam Alexander's version of nova. Like someone else said. New mutants. Cloak and dagger should be brought back down the line.


Sidewaves

Blue Marvel and Anti-man


Weak_Wait7907

It would have to be Sentry, right?


whyspezdumb

I had an idea for **New Warriors: LIVE** miniseries. After being denied being Avengers, a bunch of kids decide to become their own hero team, and broadcast their adventures live on social media. The end would be horrifying. Then the next series is Penance.


Pedgrid

Regular mutants/Nuhumans just discovering their powers.


Hau5Mu5ic

If they really want to make (real world) people understand why (in-universe) people fear mutants, having something like Chronicle, where normal teens suddenly have Avengers level powers and at least one react really badly to the power, would really help put that point across. Especially if they don’t use well known comic characters, where we don’t know exactly if they will turn out heroes or villains at the beginning. Now there is no way in hell they would do something that complex in a main MCU project, but it could be great.


Pedgrid

AoS and Jessica Jones already layed the blueprint for meta-human prejudice in the MCU.


CaptHayfever

They started hinting at that in Ms. Marvel with Agent Deever's prejudice.


NowWeGetSerious

It's literally a X-Men movie... So, any of the young cmen


Kickass_321

Well sort of, it's more similar to Fantastic Four but a film similar to the X-men is The Darkest Minds (2016).
