Thor from mythology was male. And the character by birth was named Thor. He may not be worthy suddenly and he may not have "the powers of Thor", but the guy is still named Thor, right? I wonder how they're going to handle that part of this situation. Thor's had a weird history in the Marvel universe too. When he first…

I agree with you completely except that I think City is pretty deserving of most of its praise. The story isn't PERFECT, but nothing is, and anyway, I think the kind of disjointed feel that City might give with its story only helps it feel more comic-book-y. And that's fine with me.

Batman Forever isn't horrible. I'd say it's worth seeing even with the problems. Batman & Robin, meanwhile, is horrible, but that actually just makes it even more worth seeing. It's entertaining in the same way the Adam West stuff is, except with a huge budget and sculpted rubber costumes.

I just wanted to say that I agree completely. The game stands on the shoulders of giants, but it's still a good game. Story is fun, gameplay is fun, acting is fun. Yes, the acting IS solid. I have a soft spot for TAS, but both lead actors deliver effective performances. I mean, Arkham City is lauded as a masterpiece,…

Why? There are enough mainstream costume designs that would work well as a skin. I'm going to be mad if they don't give me Dr. Mario as a skin. Alternatively:

That's the picture you choose to represent her? When she's at least half-plastic?

I always preferred her in the beginning of the film, before the plastics rubbed off on her at all. Even in that extra large pink polo.

This is really cool for the auto industry and the consumer, but I can't help but feel this isn't going to end well for Tesla Motors. Why would anyone buy a Tesla with an awesome electric motor if they could more easily find a dealer who has an awesome Toyota with the same workings "under the hood" and less than half…

People are upset about this?

Sonic generally exists in a world with real people. Is Eggman not a "real person"?

That's not really how Fair Use works.

Gohan dressed in the same gi as his father during the end of the Buu saga. He had been training with one of those kaioshin dudes while wearing weird kai clothing, and upon completion of the training, they magicked him up a set of Earth clothes based on the only model they had at hand: Goku.

Not obsoleted. The new one is its own thing. Like they did with Fullmetal Alchemist. The original anime still stands on its own as a great series, but they also did a whole separate thing with the second anime that also stands on its own as a great series.

I like the freckles added for Peter Pan. It's not something you generally see on the character, especially if you're aiming for Disney-faithful, but I feel like it fits the character really well.

When Gold faces him at Mt. Silver. In both the original and remake, Red has hit hat tipped down like a true OG.

Even if that's the case, they're the best at running in the world. Most people are not. Most people do not know how to walk/run correctly. Olympic athletes, presumably, do, and they'll perform well in anything. But again, I was never talking about speed. Shoes might make a person faster. In fact, I'd almost bet that…

No, you're right. It's absolutely literally learning to walk again.

The body evolved under barefoot conditions. The human foot is "designed" to be used barefoot through natural selection. The foot has a spring in it and to not use that spring correctly will only encourage damage to the other areas that have to absorb more shock.

The "arch" of the foot isn't really an arch. It's a spring. It's not supposed to rigidly support the weight of the body, it's supposed to spring and release so that there's less tension in the heels, ankles, and knees. This would probably be more apparent if everyone walked/ran CORRECTLY, but so many of us have gotten…

You're right. Minimalist is a broad and poorly defined term.

Part of the transition is learning to not heel-strike. That's not how feet are "supposed" to work, but normal shoes "encourage" it. Concrete is something else, but it shouldn't be too bad for anyone who is capable of standing on their bare feet on hard floors normally (i.e., basically anyone who is physically capable…

Maybe try and read the article before jumping to conclusions. Nothing was debunked, all that happened was that it was made apparent that the claims were misleading due to the risk of injury during transition to barefoot running. The claims were misleading because there is risk involved, but the claims were NOT lies or…
