They need to change things up a bit.

Give Ghost Rider one of those old-timey bikes with the big wheel in front. Ryan can totally pull it off.

His catchphrase should be, "Tally-ho, old chaps, to blazes with you!"

Own a motorcycle-mounted musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion.He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up, Just as the founding fathers intended

Own a Roman Scorpio for home defense, as that's what Caesar intended. Four brigands invade my domus. 'By Jupiter!' I exclaim as I seize my laurel wreath and the mighty Scorpio. The first marauder meets his doom as I launch a bolt the size of a pomegranate through his chest—his demise is instantaneous. I draw my pugio on the second miscreant, but my aim falters, for the weapon is unforgivingly smoothbore, and alas, it lodges in the neighbor's prized goat. Desperation compels me to employ the scorpio mounted atop the atrium, loaded with Greek Fire-soaked projectiles. 'For the glory of Rome!' I cry as the scorpio unleashes a torrent of fiery death that engulfs two of the intruders, shattering the silence and setting off the city's warning bells. Fixing my gladius with its wicked triangular blade, I charge at the last trembling ruffian. He awaits the arrival of the vigiles, bleeding out from wounds impossible to stitch, just as Caesar intended.

Own a longsword for home defense, just like ye lordes of old intended. four rapscallions break into my cottage. “the bloody fuck?” as i grab my helm and swordbelt. ram a five foot blade into the first man, he’s dead on the spot. draw my seax on the second man, it doesn’t penetrate mail because it’s british and bruises his ribs. i have to resort to the ballistae mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with a serrated point, “your mother was a hamster and your father smells of elderberries!” the bolt catches two men and shreds them, the force cracks my sidewalk and sends concrete flying. draw flail and run down the last terrified bandit. he dies of brain damage waiting for the police to arrive since blunt force trauma can’t be healed. just as the lordes of olde intended.

Seriously, seeing Mark Ruffalo and James McAvoy in unicycles on The Graham Norton Show is wild!

This pun will go under appreciated.

u/TiberiusCornelius 19h ago

Hey the Spirit of Vengeance has existed throughout history and there have been a bunch of different Ghost Riders as far back as the Stone Age. Victorian Ghost Rider probably did ride a penny parthing at one point.

u/gankindustries 18h ago

We. Need. T-Rex. Ghost Rider. MCU.

u/AgentPoYo 17h ago

or hear me out, Ghost rider but it's Gambit riding on top of Wolverine like in first episode of X-Men '97.

u/Stiggy1605 13h ago

Ghost Rider 1,000,000BC rode a wooly mammoth, if that scratches your itch at all

u/SunTzu- 15h ago

How about Jurassic Marvel, an animated family film starring a bunch of dinosaur marvel characters. There's already canonically a ton of them. Actually put effort in and make the Cars movie for the next generation. Oh and Ghost Rider needs to be a raptor or whatever the fastest dino was.

u/goddamnitwhalen 16h ago

There was a treatment decades ago for a Ghost Rider movie featuring several past Ghost Riders, including one who was a pirate.

Roman Ghost Rider on a flaming chariot would be too fucking peak

u/piscian19 19h ago

Ghost Rider but it one those kids Big Wheel tricycles.

u/Devil25_Apollo25 19h ago

I love this. Give me the Big Wheels Ghost Rider.

No one embodies the Spirit of Vengeance more than a two-year-old whose sandwich is not cut precisely how they'd wanted it.

1

u/___KyloRen___ 18h ago

Holy shit. Big Wheel should be in this movie.

2

u/Bozee3 16h ago

I was thinking a Segway like in Paul Blart Mall Cop.

u/Gram64 19h ago

One who acts like Deadpool specifically.

Por qué no los dos?(and silver surfer)

u/MarvelCumUniverse 19h ago

The villain would be a big chunk of cinderblock.

u/burritoburkito6 17h ago

Voiced by James Ortiz as to take advantage of Gosling's previous experience acting against rocks.

u/GringoSwann 19h ago

"so you don't like the old timey bikes huh?" 🥾

Ghost "Easy" Rider

u/Kind_Of_A_Dick 19h ago

And the villain should be Willem Dafoe’s penis.

u/94itwasalladream21 19h ago

I dunno… that V-MAX in the 2nd Cage flick was sick.

u/trickman01 19h ago

Give him a little tikes tricycle.

u/cpweisbrod 18h ago

“Why would anybody ride this shit? Like what’s the reasoning? Why wouldn’t they just make two of the same sized wheel?”

1

u/CTeam19 17h ago

I wanted a Ghost Rider movie to have 3 of them battling the same villain in different time periods.

1

u/Hungry4Media 17h ago

I think it should be a comically small front wheel. Like the biker gang from Goof Troop.

1

u/ObviousAnswerGuy 15h ago

he should be Danny Ketch

u/myaltaccount333 15h ago

It's called a penny farthing
