Marvel's Odd Ones Out

On the data. Five films with nothing in common except that each is the only one of its kind. Howard the Duck is the one everybody has heard of and the story behind it is bigger than the film. George Lucas produced it, it cost about thirty-seven million dollars, which was more than Return of the Jedi, and it lost so much money that Lucas had to sell assets to cover it. One of the things he sold was Lucasfilm's computer graphics division, which Steve Jobs bought and renamed Pixar. That is not a myth; it is the documented sequence. Nick Fury in 1998 is the one worth being surprised by. It is a television film with David Hasselhoff in the part, and it was written by David Goyer, who wrote Blade the same year. Blade came out two months later and changed what Marvel films were. This one did not. Power Pack is twenty-seven minutes of a pilot that NBC ordered and then passed on, which Fox showed once on a Saturday morning in 1991 to fill a slot. Man-Thing was shot in Australia for a theatrical release, lost it, and went out on the Sci-Fi Channel. Dracula: Sovereign of the Damned carries a title flag because the title is the only thing unsettled about it. It is a 1980 Toei animated film of Marvel's Tomb of Dracula comic, and TMDB holds it under that comic's name rather than the one it was released under in English.
