Spiderman the Musical - I think it's oxymoronic - what other ideas for stupid musicals can you think of?

The Bob Fosse version of Shindler’s List.

The Quentin Tarantino Version of The Sound of Music.

The Danny Elfman Version of Gran Torino.

Why is Spiderman the Musical oxymoronic? Perhaps ill-conceived, but why oxymoronic?

anything by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

@MyNewtBoobs I’ll answer if you promise to wait at least 10 posts next time before asking the OP a question instead of just writing an answer: IMHO, as someone who grew up on Spidey, myself and most men/boys wouldn’t want to see Spidey – our hero – burst into stupid song and dance when he meets Doc Ock. It just aint right. Hey – the male population seems to have agreed with me – voting with their feet. And girls, well, there aren’t that many who read/watch comics – just a fact. Yes, there are some, but the demographic is male.

I thought a musical about the Scottsboro Boys was a terrible idea and yet they did it. My first thought was also Schindler’s List.

Found it but it wasn’t the first one I asked.

This is a Spidey question I asked in March 2009 for those interested. It’s hard to look up questions when the account is closed.

Well then, Night of the Living Dead, The Musical. Wait, doesn’t that seem interesting?

Musicals can be so inane, even when the production is an impressive effort.
IMHO “Titanic” on Broadway was just the most foolish thing to witness folks sing and dance through.

A sequel to The Phantom of the Opera, where the phantom and Christine somehow managed to conceive a child together, and now he’s a successful man on Coney Island and, oh, hang on…

I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with a Spiderman musical, they just didn’t go about making this one in the best way.

@mazingerz88 There’s always room for another zombie musical! That sounds awesome :)

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. Just didn’t work for me. Carly Simon and opera. I didn’t care for her Romulus Hunt. Pee Wee Herman on Broadway.

Something tells me you wouldn’t appreciate my favorite musical.

@mazingerz88 Sounds bloody awesome to me.

@zen I can’t think of anything that wouldn’t be awesome as a musical. Going from your comic book example, I was going to mention Conan the Barbarian. The hardcore black and white ones, Conan Saga and Savage Sword of Conan. Not those wussy colour ones. See, people like him and Spiderman are about action. (and philosophy, whenever the artists got lazy and didn’t wanna draw action scenes) That’s what people come to see. You can’t make a musical with that.

But then, at least 17 Xena the Warrior Princess episodes are musicals. And somehow, they still rock.

Conan singing things like If it can die, then it has died. or Ha! They call my people barbarians, but at least we do not sell our children. in his super sexy low voice sounds epic to me. (if yall thinking bout Arnie, you don’t get my picture) He could make a rap song where the chorus is Bitch, don’t grab my sword arm EVER AGAIN.

SO. In answering your question correctly, my answer is, Conan the Musician. Lulz.

A friend of mine at Emerson participated in “The Human Centipede: The Musical” :P

@DominicX…seriously?

For serious :) It’s nothing professional and it’s meant to be a huge parody, but it’s pretty ridiculous… lol

Parody is always awesome. I’d see that.

Justin Bieber : Puberty is painless, it brings on many changes…....

Charlie Sheen: The Musical.

Now that was funny. You see – when you shoot a hundred arrows in the air…

Dogs

Baby Geniuses: The Musical

The Little Tramp musical actually would be an oxymoron. At least it would be if it were actually a Little Tramp story.

I just thought of something. Somebody should totally make one of em annoying dance/electronica songs about ET, where ’‘ET phone home’’ repeats over and over as horny people dance around.

You mean like the Dune song?

I’m only about not even two minutes through it but…’‘dances’’

Exactly that. The spice must flow!

…wtf lawlz
