Talk:Mark Millar

message: The Ultimates has a "liberal-based plot"?  Where did that come from? The demiurge 02:50, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
:I believe the comment was suppose to cover Millar's overall writing style.  and in effect bring the thought of his background dealing with solicalist - his father - as an influence for his writing, although in Superman: Red Son he seem to illustrait a sort of anti-socialist view on that Elseworld title.  However his portrayal of Captain America is not a rabbid Right Winger he is probably the closest to one as Millar could stand to get to.  I mean anyone who try and censors naked pictures of Lindsey Lohan off the internet must rub Millar the wrong way (reference recent article from Wizard Magazine on Millar and Hitch).

message: Please provide a link for the claim that Millar has had an arranged marriage.  This seems utterly insane and I suspect that this is a joke.  Also please provide a reference for the Ken Livingstone comment.  Otherwise, I shall delete both of these at the end of this week.  Thanks Vizjim 18:10, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text:  Look, the sum totality of human knowledge is not contained on the internet. I know this fact to be true. Not every single word on Wiki can be backed up by another link. Now this will be the 'source' for other people wanting to prove this fact. It is true. It is important. Millar often makes bold claims and issue out of his religion. This is an aspect of his religion. It is true - it remains.
At least tell us how you know it, maybe? And which religion are you thinking of?  I understood (though I may be wrong) that he was brought up a Catholic - not a religion famed for its arranged marriages... Vizjim 18:56, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Please keep the marketing maelstorm out of encyclopaedic material...
Some of the article parts read like a used car sales man, particularly the ones that keep repeating is an awesome, amazing, lauded, spectacular, most popular, everything of comics or the internet.
He's not particularly Jack Kirby ya know...
Millar is all about the self promotion. But zero chance of getting that onto this page.
Even with citations his fanboy army kept deleting. sigh.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.68.249.128 (talk) 21:30, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Video Games are for Pedophiles? And other comments 

message: Please remember that if you are saying something negative about someone you're going to need a cite for it, as per WP:BLP. "The other links support it" doesn't cut it. And yes, critical comments *are* held to a huigher standard than onesin praise, again see WP:BLP. Also even if you have a cite theres a possibility that your comment might be deleted anyway, due to issues of tone and weighting. Again reading WP:BLP will help you make best judgement on that. 
Thank you

message: :::The source provided for Millars birth clearily says that he was born in 1969. Unless the anon editor can provide a source that contradicts this then he/she should stop adding back information that is innacurate.

thread_title:  Best selling British comic-book writer?? 

message: "Mark Millar, the Hollywood comic book writer behind hits like Kick-Ass, has backed Alex Salmond and the SNP in the Holyrood election. Millar, 40, from Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, said: "He is the best in the country - and I am including Westminster. He is a guy you want in charge." ", The Scotsman, 14 April 2011

thread_title:  'Hollywood comic writer backs Salmond' 

message: There's a distinct theme running through Millar's work, blurring the boundaries of fictional worlds. Characters interact with comics within the narrative universe (Marvel 1985), break the 4th wall to address the reader (Wanted) or take inspiration from comics or films (Kick-Ass, Nemesis).
No reference but it's there in his books, particularly in Millarworld.

I've recently taken a bunch of photos of Millar, including three portrait shots. However, he is not in formal wear as he was in the October 2010 photo that is currently in the Infobox. Should we change it to one of the new ones, or keep the old one? It's not like his appearance has changed all that much in three years. Nightscream (talk) 06:53, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

message: Would it be correct to give Mark Millar some credit for the 2012 Avengers film? There are elements taken from the Ultimates: Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, SHIELD putting the team together, and battling the Chitauri. It's not a direct adaptation, but neither was Captain America: Civil War nor will Logan be exactly like Old Man Logan.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.81.156.221 (talk) 02:00, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

message: This is a discussion to decide whether Millarworld should be a separate article from Mark Millar. Personally, I am in support of this as Netflix has just acquired the company. Inevitably, future information about Millarworld will be less about Mark Millar's involvement with the company, and more about Netflix's influence in developing the company to fit within the Netflix brand.

replies: text: I dunno: Since Millarworld is all written by Millar and isn't publishing anything not by Millar, I think there'd be a lot of overlap and repeated material.

replies: text: We can just transfer all of the information about Millarworld from the Mark Millar page into the Millarworld article. Mark Millar still makes headlines and conducts interviews outside of just Millarworld. Iftekharahmed96 (talk) 23:05, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Only three editors seem to have commented so far. Given lack of clear consensus, I'd suggest using the procedure at Wikipedia:Splitting. That'll get a split discussion posted automatically at :Category:Articles to be split from August 2017 and generate a more thorough discussion. If splitting is a good idea, it should gain consensus. Note that I'm not necessarily against the idea, but I do believe we need to have more editors than this discussing the pros and cons. --Tenebrae (talk) 17:47, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
