Black Panther is an interesting character and he's got a cool aesthetic, but making a story about him would be a hard sell for the mainstream. A superpowered African king would be very hard to keep relatable for everyone. Not to mention the environment. Wakanda is an unusual place, but that's where Black Panther's…

Recycling plastic isn't as helpful as you might think. It requires expending extra energy resources transporting and processing the used material than if it was just transferred to one of our many available landfills. This energy used up in transporting and processing usually comes largely from burning fossil fuels.…

I thought that was so great. Casual fans would be smiling about it, looking forward to the romance playing out, while those who know Gwen's history would be grimacing, knowing her ultimate fate. It's so perfect. Peter is just life's punching bag, and they set him up to selfishly screw everything up even more.

Mary Jane in the other films was an amalgam character. She was called Mary Jane, but in reality, she was both Mary Jane and Gwen Stacey. This, obviously, got twisted up a little by the third movie, but the point remains. She was conceived to have features of both characters. With them cementing Gwen's character in…

It's not a TV show, really. Not even much of a mini-series. Three "episodes"? It plays more like a three-act short film.

It is common sense. Old doors would have bars across them. You would slide the bar to lock it. You can still find these sorts of locks in hardware stores.

Apple has never innovated anything. Everything they've ever done, they were far from the first horse out of the gate. They just found success in taking what others had done and adapting it and selling it. Home PCs, computer operating system, Mp3 players, smartphones, tablets, they did a good job of selling these…

Bruce started as Batman at 25 originally. Comic book time has forced them to retcon it to like 20 now. Someone in their 20s could absolutely play an experienced Dark Knight, they just wouldn't be able to play him as the grizzled old man that many apparently want. We'd get a 20-something Batman who has been active for…

You won't HAVE TO watch anything. And it's not like Guardians of the Galaxy movie would be directly crossing over with a Jessica Jones TV show. There's likely to be more crossover potential with the SHIELD TV show that you admitted sounds like a good idea.

Hey, I didn't say the actions of the police were appropriate. Just that there was a place for legal concern with what he was doing. It might not be criminal, but it's not something that copyright law permits at the very least. And if it does fall under the category of impersonating police, I'm quite sure that that…

If they bring Black Panther into the world of the Avengers, they'd end up ignoring Wakanda in favor of SHIELD and all that business. If they use Wakanda prominently as they should in a respectable adaptation, then SHIELD, the Avengers, and the United States has little to no place in the story. But a story about the…

It's probably a civil matter of using a logo without permission of the copyright owner. Perhaps it could be classified as slander...? Impersonation of police is definitely a crime, but I'm not sure if this could count as that.

Not sure why you felt the barely hidden vitriol was necessary. I mean no offense when I say that most Americans have little interest in a story about a character so far removed from their own lives or familiarity. He's an African king who is active in a fictional African nation. That would be an unusual protagonist…

Yeah, I've been using my retired OG Droid as a dedicated music device for a while now. The best part is that the speaker on that thing is a beast and I don't even need to use separate speakers.

He's a weird character with a weird history. They might be able to adapt and change some things, but I think it'd be a hard sell to get most people to check out a movie about an African (not an African-American, an African) who hails from a paradoxical fictional nation which is both highly advanced technologically and…

Evolutionary? It picked up a mutant gene from it's one of its parents... maybe the Samsung Galaxy S2? Cross pollination! Evolution! Adaptation!

I think it's really interesting to think of characters recursively inspiring each other. For example, I'm kind of surprised WB didn't notice Rorschach's popularity in the Watchmen film and turn around and give us a movie about The Question that would heavily draw from the characterization Moore gave Rorschach. I…

The iPhone did not create the smartphone. Hahaha. This was only a few years ago, it's not ancient history, you should know this. Apple helped bring the smartphone to the masses, but they didn't create the idea and they also didn't even have the first product of that type on market.

It wouldn't be hard for them to do what the carriers do. Design a launcher, a theme, a look-and-feel, put that on top of plain Android and release it like that, WITH the Play Store also available. It'd be relatively easy and it needn't be as differentiated as the rom they made for the Kindle Fire.

As inexpensive as 10 dollars? And does it include a micro-USB charging cable and a place to plug it in?
