In the spirit of turning a comment into a post I give you my idea for how you would take Prince Namor from the Captain America movie to his own franchise. This one kinda is a no-brainer if you rely on what already has been done in the comics. No need to change a thing. Just make it all so much bigger and cooler.
"I would totally see how the transition from Cap's movie to Namor's movie would go. After the war, Namor returns to his beloved Atlantis to find it in ruins and goes off his nut blaming the surface world for the destruction because of 'their' war and waring ways. He feels especially betrayed because of the actions he took to save the surface world from the tyranny of the Nazis.
Then he discovers that while protecting the Allied shipping lanes from the Nazi U-Boats, he himself may have unknowingly caused the destruction by being reckless.
This makes him more crazy and angry at the surface world. Only we know he is being manipulated by powerful enemies, both Atlantian and Human/Nazi. It is ALL personal and all about revenge.
Here is where you add the fight between him and the original Human Torch, his old war buddy.
You would make Attuma the main villain who does the old switcheroo at the end to side with Namor and Atlantis against the evil humans.
Then you have him lose his memory at the end and he is ready for the sequel which begins when Johnny Storm (the FF Human Torch) finds him and restores his memory and we are off again.

Genius! Sadly, as was said in the earlier thread, therefore Hollywood would never use it ;)
They can kill the dreamer but not the dream!
It would end up being the comic "superhero" version of "Brokeback Mountain."
Sub-Mariner comics have so many "gay" overtones. Some of them right on the cover.
"not that there's anything wrong with that!" I'm just saying...
I don't care if they kiss but I want it to also include lots of explosions and fighting. I still remember how cool a moment on 'Torchwood - Children of the Earth' when Captain Jack kissed his bff Ianto while the Hub was about to explode around them. That was great writing and direction and just put the whole moment into a totally different and awesome perspective for me. I know people who would be offended and turned off by that but I was thrilled and I am straight. I think I respected most the bravery for actually putting something like that into a TV program in a world that may never be ready for soemthing like that on mainstream TV.
