So kinja won’t let me edit that obnoxious sized logo that it was supposed to shrink. Sorry everybody.

Dude... Shane is going to make an AWESOME Punisher. I can’t wait for season 2.

I told you I wasn’t going to bother to try to change your mind. You’ve descended into a siege mentality where everyone has to be fought, not talked with, because your opinion is the irrefutable word of God and nobody else could possibly have a fraction of a point. I’m not playing a part in that. So stop fishing for a…

How much do they really travel in outer space? They certainly deal with threats from space (Galactus, Silver Surfer, Skrulls, Terminus) but they aren’t exactly spending that much time out there; they’re not like the X-Men with their Shi’ar buddies and the Starjammers. Many of their alien foes are encountered when they …

Nobody cares about Space Travel because we stopped doing it. Many of the same people who call space travel a waste of time and resources are the same people who keep the F-35 program going. The problem is that too many people (and maybe this is partially NASA’s fault) treated the Space race like a TV show or a…

Of course it doesn’t happen every day. I’m not an idiot. But the principle is sound, that- Oh, your mind is made up on this, why should I even bother?

“Nobody cares about SpaceX or Virgin Galactic “

GotG proved that there’s a shitload of custom for deliberately colourful, throwback space operas. FF can do that all day, every day.

Starred based on the title alone. Will read fully when I’m not at work. I’m so fucking SICK of hearing these on-the-fence, tapioca-pudding-chest-cavity-filled motherfuckers going “Well at least Trump is honest. It’s SO different.” OR “Hey, at least he’s speaking the truth.”

There was a discussion on io9 yesterday about how lousy the movie is, and how this is yet-another swing-and-miss. A few of us in the commentariat kinda brainstormed into thinking the key isn’t to make the F4 hip and young in today’s era; it’s to go back to the hipster`50s/swingin’ 60s, Space Age-era and have the whole…

“Going into space isn’t cool.”

So why not just get Brad Bird to do the Fantastic Four?

Yeah, but nobody on Earth knows about them.

Yeah, I hear what you are saying, but going into space actually is cool, so it seems to me that the problem is that they haven’t figured out how to communicate that in a way that speaks to the general public yet. It seems like they should be able to figure that out.

But why does everybody have to be grounded in something that’s happening right now? What do the Guardians have to do with today’s world? Same would go for Thor. Ant-Man was originally a gee-whiz 60’s scientist, but for the film, they made it a heist movie related to military tech. So it’s a bit much to say that it’s…

You'd have to make it a period piece.

Nobody REALLY cares about space travel and exploration.

“He’s making it so easy.”

Beautifully written. I am a New Zealander (currently living in Sydney), and The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are truly the best shows to come out of the US in the last decade. Not only are they unrivalled in terms of comedy, they’ve provided a fascinating insight in to the state of US politics and the lives of…
