It makes you think: maybe all that Cthulhu was trying to do was invent all of popular music and spicy chicken.

This is above my paygrade, but maybe more illustrations. Newspapers should print an illustration along with every feature, and the Sports page should bring back cartoons.

The problem superhero movies will ALWAYS run into is the question of “Why?”

Children of Men was the same movie, but the characters were actually human, the stakes were higher, and the mortality theme was reflected and strengthened by the girl sidekick being heavily pregnant instead of a homicidal maniac, and the sacrifices of the good characters along the way were about accepting mortality,…

There will never be a truly great movie about superheroes until they make one where you do not root for the hero to win.

No, Marvel movies are a perfect metaphorical parallel for American strength. No matter what their moral failings or tactical judgments, they are always portrayed as heroes. And no matter how legitimate the outrage or reasoning against them, no matter how ridiculously over-powered they are, they are always scrappy…

I imagine an HBO drama about a troupe of low-rent chorus girls named the Insect-ettes being hunted across the country by a stalker in a van with some truly dreadful pixel art on the side. Think GLOW meets Death Proof.

“You wrote this?”

That’s a common misconception. He’s always played well with other creators. If he hates the adaptations of his work into movie/TV form, it’s either because A.) they objectively suck or B.) they’re a result of DC and Warner Bro.s owning the majority of his catalog and generally pissing him off by exploiting legal…

Don’t make him Ang Lee.

Everyone only thinks Idris Elba should be the next Bond (also, for some reason, the next Doctor Who, and I think I’ve heard Willy Wonka and Terminator thrown around too) because no one can think of any British black leading men beyond him and John Boyega.

Well, it makes the people who count as “diverse,” feel a little happier, and it generally doesn’t detract from the quality of the show, and the people who don’t feel happy about it are all, to a tee, kind of assholes, so all around, win!

How about intellect and romance?

Hey, howabout, instead of trying to revive a dead property for the umpteenth time, you take the beloved characters and slightly change their costumes and personalities, so you can stretch into a new creative space and explore themes and ideas that would have felt awkwardly wedged into the property as it now stands?…

Ideas for art projects:

Azzarello: Getting rid of the iambic pentameter. We’re replacing it with more of a hip-hop [thing].

Yeah, but given his personality, I have no problem believing that he’d say “nigger” in mixed company just because he feels he should be able to do whatever he wants. It’s not like any of the black people in his circle would reprimand him, and it’s not like any of the white people in his circle wouldn’t laugh, because…

I’m not sure he would be the RIGHT voice for The Twilight Zone. He’s played so many nerdy and creepy characters in K&P that it would be hard for me to see him as doing anything but playing a character who was interoducing the Twilight Zone.

Because the soul stone targeted the “sense of self.” When you imagine “yourself,” you usually aren’t naked. After all, when someone shoves you, you don’t say, “Hey, you pushed my clothes, and my clothes pressed on me with roughly equivalent force!”

Yes, but it all has to make sense internally, within the narrative. Otherwise you end up with a transformers movie.
