I'll see your schmaltzy nuDoctor with the Doctor who would (and still use plenty of brains):

Why is it ridiculous for Hawkeye and Black Widow to be involved in that fight, but you don't mention Captain America as well?

"Nick was right; there is definitely less job security in the private sector. Dammit Steve!"

"Perhaps I should have taken out that life insurance policy."

Ecsqueeze me but The Legendary Journey's is special and can do no wrong.

Well it's not like Boblol was exactly suggesting Brett Ratner would get following a crappy trend right.

Well, of course it is. Nothing like a dead wife and kids to get a hero's Angst Points up! Also, I cannot believe it is 20-bleedin'-14* and we are still killing off female characters (children optional) to prove how dark our hero's past is and how troubled and wracked with manpain he is as a result.

Beat me to it! Thank you!

and/or cheesiness

I thought Hercules was just the Roman name for Heracles? Didn't they just go Oh, these gods are good. better than the ones we've got. "Cause the Roman gods before that were kind of crap, you know – Jeff, the god of biscuits. And Simon, the god of hairdos. And uh, you know, they had the god of war, the god of thunder,…

Yeah, like, at the end he basically pushes a 10-story building over with his muscles and then McShane is immediately like, "Is he REALLY a demigod!!?!?!? WE MAY NEVER KNOW." Are you sure? Are you sure we don't know?

I don't know about you, but the whole Heracles mythos is pretty much D&D without acess to steel, right down to the GM's interventions, who as usual are portrayed in-game as divine meddling. Some of his antics and ideas sound like stuff my group would come up with.

I'm happy dancing, chanting, "Love this show, love this show, love this show!" I'm not a huge horror fan, although I have a soft spot for the classics. As some of you may have noticed, my popular vampire knowledge is pretty extensive, so I'm totally looking forward to how they bring in Dracula.

You'd think that any movie with both Ian McShane and John Hurt would be awesome. In fact, Imagine them the leading men in some sort of gritty space western (Man with no name in space sorta deal) where Swegen is the lovable evil baddass, and John Hurt is the aging scrappy worldly leader/father figure who dies about…

So.. once again the Bard saves the day?

Well, at least he didn't have to be transparently evil, so I guess that was a nice change of pace for him.

Vague spoiler warning:

Nobody likes Ant-Man, Marvel should scrap the project and just give us Black Panther already.

I'm a little put off that Doll writes, "despite the proliferation of "cohabitation, same-sex marriage, and women who ably bring home the bacon," because what among those things prevents using wife/husband as terms? My gay married friends are husbands, my lesbian married friends are wives, and I bring home the bacon…

No.
