Hi this is Kay Harrison with the next issue podcast with recent rumors that Taylor Swift might be playing Allison Blair dazzler and the upcoming Deadpool 3 I’m curious if she could be a full-time X-Men have a solo movie or even revive dazzler the movie but who is
Dazzler in 1979 Alice donfield a Marvel executive pitched a superheroine singer character she wanted to reflect the success that the Archies had done jumping from comic to radio the Archie was a comic that put out music like their top 10 hit sugar sugar in 1969 using Studio musicians Jim shooter Marvel’s editor
And chief gave Tom DeFalco and John Rita Jr a shot at creating the character my initial discussions with them I believe we came up with the notion of giving her light powers and therefore being able to provide her own light show hence the dazzler part of the
Name disco dazzler John Rita Jr imagined disco dazzler to look like Grace Jones Tom defal said I wanted a female character that goes to clubs that you see all the time hanging out in New York in the 70s and ‘ 80s at the club I saw
Grace Jones that was the first thing I thought of her hair was buzzed stunningly beautiful statuesque she wore this skintight outfit she was on roller skates I said this is the [Applause] Character deter nothing’s going to stand in their way you is my ambition I was born the 19th of May you make me run R her mutant ability allowed her to convert Sound Vibrations into light and energy and she could manipulate light in various ways including creating powerful energy blasts and light constructs Alice and Casablanca record wanted to launch their collaboration with a half-hour animated special that was quickly upgraded to a feature film
After reading Jim Shooter’s treatment they wanted a lot of Marvel heroes in the special and Casablanca records wanted the Stars they had under contract to provide voices for the non-marvel characters they wanted lots of Marvel heroes in the special and Casablanca records wanted the Stars they had under contract to provide voices for
The non-marvel characters there had to be therefore characters to play for Robin Williams Sher Donna Summer Rodney Dangerfield the Village People kiss and Michael mckin and David Lander who played Lenny and Squiggy on Le and Shirley the project fell into limbo Alice went to Khan film festival
In May of 1980 to take a meeting with Bo Derek with Jim Shooter’s treatment on the basis of shooter treatment Bo agreed to become attached to the project she wanted to play dazzler this created a bidding war for the movie Marvel commissioned a script from Leslie Stevens in those days despite the
Reasonable success of the first Superman movie Comics were still thought of silly and campy so that’s what Stevens went for it was moronic B dropped out then Daryl Hannah was attached but then the project didn’t go any further meanwhile in comics dazzler debuted in X-Men 130 and dazzler number
1 was the first allir comic book and it sold 428,000 copies the series would last 42 issues ending in March of 1986 and prompting dazzler to join the X-Men the following is an abbreviated version of the gym shooter treatment The Avengers made up of Iron Man Beast wasp Falcon and Scarlet Witch
Along with Spider-Man and Dazzle are teleported to a Mad Max Escape From New York future New York they are separated and captured by two Waring factions the witch Queen has her Army including kiss Dewey played by Rodney Dangerfield and Michael mcken the queen of fire has her Army
Including the Village People how played by Rodney Dangerfield and David Lander Lord Chaos is our big bad and has thrown Spider-Man The Avengers and dazzler in to disrupt the two factions as they are perfectly balanced dazzler is similar to a sun queen that is some part of a prophecy
But tempting fate Lord Chaos still pulls her into the future chetam and Tristan have been manipulating dazzler into war with the Queens once on the battlefield the Queens explained to dazzler that Tristan was involved with them both and that’s why they hate each other dazzler and the Queens agree to
Work together and stop the war dazzler creates a light show so awe inspiring that both armies stop fighting the war ends the factions unite the heroes are returned to their time period I want to make two notes on this The Avengers are defeated by kiss and the Village People twice in this
Movie and even though it’s a Happ the ending they still live in the postapocalypse I hope you enjoyed please hit like And subscribe if you like this video thanks for watching
