2011's Big Questions in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy Geek World

There's a lot happening this year when it comes to the Sci-Fi, Comics and Fantasy world. Some things will be epic, some things will be a soggy mess.

But I have some questions about these big happenings in 2011?

Will we see A Cabin in the Woods in 2011?
Joss Whedon created a horror movie that was the talk of the town a couple of years ago. Well, last year the movie hit a snag. MGM, the studio behind the movie, was in big money trouble. Many fans got worry if the movie will see the light of day. However, there hope... MGM is out of a financial bind; so maybe, hopefully we will this movie.


Will X-Men: First Class fly or flop?
This movie will either give Fox credit or solidify reasons why they should NEVER do any comic projects again. So far, the movie sounds like bad mix of 90s X-Men stories. The X-Men timeline does not exist in this film and feels like a free-for-all. But who knows, it could save the X-Men film machine... But I highly doubt that.


Will the Buffy fans KILL the blasphemous Buffy remake?
I hope so. This movie doesn't seem to have much fan support and if we are powerful enough, this flick will die before it's even cast. It is a bad idea, they know it, we know it. However, we will how much info they will put out and how bad we (fans) will trash it.



Who is going to die in Fantastic Four?
Johnny is my pick.



What will be the breakout TV hit in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy world?
I think Misfits will get worldwide props. This show changes the game when it comes to the 'heroes', The characters are so right on and stories are really strong. You really care about them and feel their pain, happiness and silliness. I hope we (USA) do not try to remake this show. It's just fine as is. Now, it's not available in the US, but check it out on YouTube.



Who will rule the comic world, DC or Marvel?
I don't know.



Which Sci-Fi/Fantasy Movie will dominate this year?
Transformers 3, Harry Potter, Thor, Captain America or Green Lantern? Who will be the biggest hit in 2011? I hope it's not Transformers 3.


Will Jean Grey come back?



And Torchwood the US Season deliver?
With Starz strongly backing this project and a cast of gifted actors, will this show truly shine? My fingers are crossed.

Misfits is cool! How much have you been able to see? I don't think they would be able to translate it very well to a USA show, largely due to the sexual content! Lord!!! I also wonder where the Series 4 stamp comes from on your image since they are only filming Series 3 right now. Aren't they? Man if I've missed Series 3!!! Grrrrr... I'm very interested in seeing what the powers situation will be next season!

Where is my Jean Grey? Will Hope & those new mutants of her's all die in a sacrifice to bring Jean back... like Legion of Super Heroes did back in the day.

That X-Men will probably make money, but be a creative flop.

Do you think Johnny will be the FF memeber to die... to prove that he's the glue that holds them together. Just like Flash dying in the DC Cartoons effects the DC Universe?
