decked out in gear inspired by David Aja and Matt Fraction’s beloved Hawkeye comic run

Atomic Robo by Brian Clevinger had an excellent take on this. The monster exists outside of time, and enters the universe through different points in different decades, and each time the monster learns by taking a trickier form.

I’m rather bummed they went with Gozer again. Obviously it’s just more goddamn fan service, but it also shrinks the world of the story.

Does anyone else find it a little terrifying that like 3 companies (therefore maybe 100 people total) completely control SO MUCH intellectual property that they can sort of just fart this sort of slashfic bullshit universe around to bring in petty cash?

I kind of want to see an origin of this Spider-Man, because he doesn’t SEEM to be the sort of guy who decided to fight crime because his uncle was killed by a criminal he didn’t stop. He seems like a kid who became a superhero because it was cool and fun, and now that it’s not fun anymore, he wants the rest of the…

Don’t forget Bernie Wrightson’s monster designs. Each ghoul has a personality, even if they’re just molded from rubber. It was just gross and gory, it was gross, gory, and cartoony. Wrightson was a master.

Does it bother anyone else that David Aja’s art on the Hawkeye miniseries seems to be the basis for every piece of promotional material for this show, and he hasn’t seen a dime for it? Pay artists. Disney. PAY ARTISTS.

Now that you mention it, that’s EXACTLY the kind of movie I want to see. Like the moon smushes Tokyo and starts rolling across the Pacific Ocean toward the United States, and the only plan is to pull it back into orbit with a big winch screwed into Mars.

I’ve seen jokes about how the sandworms look like an anus. I think that misses the point, when to me the gaping maw looks exactly like an iris and a pupil. Looking into the maw of a sandworm is literally the void gazing back.

Boy seeing a lot of “Indians knew what treaties they were signing. If they didn’t want white people to take all their land, they should have just not signed!” takes.

The best case scenario is that the people who created the characters and stories take ownership of them, and the corporations are required to pay a percentage for all profits reaped from said characters and stories from the moment of creation up to the present day. And when the copyright expires (as Superman’s will in…

If more people were able to make money from Tolkien’s IP, maybe there would be a bigger pool of people with the dough to contribute to an even wider variety of charitable causes.

That would be the best possible outcome for this case.

Please. The point of the lawsuit is that the conditions it was created under allow the contract to be revised after a period of time. Do you not get that? They signed the contract, now they have a legal right to change the contract, so they’re taking it.

I feel the same way whenever I think of doing something like cave exploring.

Am I the only one not excited for this AT ALL?

This must be a prequel to the live-action version.

There’s no one “shot” that I can point to to make my argument, but I always got the sense that Zack Snyder thinks “Destruction is something you GET to do when you’re a superhero.” He sort of frames it all as if the buildings are there only to be knocked down, and civilians are there only to gaze up in terror and awe.

Interestingly, the ‘00s is sort of when postmodern meta-humor took over sitcoms, with characters looking directly into the camera, making jokes about product placement, and spoofing other genres. IF the creators are clever, characters will start breaking the 4th wall literally AND metaphysically around the same time.
