Alpha Flight Movie?!

[Legerd]

The way I read it, if a character came out of a comic book whose rights were purchased then the purchaser owns that character. That means Fox owns the rights to the original AF line up (since they first appeared in X-men) but not the rights to Department H, Puck, Marrina, or any other character who was introduced in the Alpha Flight books. That's why Agents of SHIELD can mention Department H, but not Alpha Flight, and why Big Hero 6 didn't fall under Fox's control. Hell, if AoS wanted to they could introduce Puck as a Canadian agent, or the Master as a villain.
Still, I'd rather see an animated series or movie than a live action one. I like how DC is doing a lot of Justice League, Batman, and Superman animated movies straight to DVD. Also, they've produced animated shorts of other characters like Green Arrow, and the Spectre to get them out into the public's consciousness. If only Marvel would do that with some of their properties.
