Honestly, the best thing that Marvel can do with the Punisher is kill him off. Publicly. Drop him in a story where a couple of his bullets go stray and they kill someone else’s family, the same way he lost his. He allows the surviving mom (or dad) to hunt him down, but they refuse to kill him, because punishment…

The core idea behind Watchmen was “what if superheroes were real people and what sort of impact would their existence have on the world?”

It means cameos.

The immutable law of the comics says that if Punisher kills someone, they were a bad person. Maybe they weren’t a criminal, maybe he overreacts, but they deserved punishment.

The kind of person who idolizes the Punisher is also the kind of person who would join the police just to be able to legally shoot “punks,” “creeps” and “scum”. People who want to live out murder fantasies by murdering people and getting paid for it.

One might begin to think serial superhero comics are actually constructed around artificial stakes and inconsistent world- and character-building, with thematically empty stories and foregone resolutions in order to maintain the profitability of certain corporate properties rather than any meaningful attempt to create…

Charles Addams was a much, MUCH better cartoonist and designer than whoever okayed the designs for this movie.

Ah, that’s just trailer editors doing their trailer thing. Have faith, my good man!

I’m going out on a wire and saying that the best possible actor currently living to play Donald Trump is Tyler Perry.

My own spin-off idea: after suffering a mental breakdown following routine demon possession via haunted doll, Cheryl trains in the ancient art of cyborg-karate only to emerge from 3 years in her sensai’s underground dojo finding that Werewolf Jughead has infected the entirety of Alaska with lycanthropy. At which point…

Outrage! I, and those who think like me, have the absolute God-given right, according to all major recognized religions, to be watching Cartoon Network on Sundays at 10:30 PM from mid-November through December, 2019, and not be forced to listen to the affected voices of Justin Roiland.

You’ve heard of late-stage capitalism?

Oh to have a job where you only get to produce things of value.

The Hand is played by Christopher Hart, I assume, expect, and demand.

DC and Marvel are BOTH corporately-owned media machines run like mob fronts that have routinely bilked, shafted, fucked over, and ignored the creators of the characters that make them worth anything in the first place.

Scientists figured out how to synthesize psilocybin in the 50s. In fact the guy who did it was the same guy who figured out how to synthesize ANOTHER hallucinogenic fungal alkaloid in the 40s: LSD. His name was Albert Hofmann.

Okay, easier question: how would one go about shutting down just, say, Amazon and Google? Factor the cost of plastic explosives and the janitorial shifts into your answer please, and try to keep the ground team to no more than... 11.

Well that, and he planned to kill a bunch of them off.

Does it seem to anyone else that Chris Ware keeps telling the exact same story over and over: “Miserable person suffers and grows old” in the exact same way: gorgeous designs highlighting the minutia of said miserable person’s life.

There are no new stories in the big 2. There haven’t been for several decades. Just new combinations of heroes and villains beating each other up, occasionally involving the use of other dimensions, clones, robots, time travel, etc.
