The phone on the wall let you make and receive calls. Smartphones are portable computers. If you want to compare it to “stone ages” technology, they’re phones, cameras, datebooks, personal computers, walkmans, road maps, wallets, calculators, encyclopedias, alarm clocks, and televisions. All in one device. If you…

It’s counter-marketing*. If Marvel hadn’t been pushing it in every form of media they could, readers would have looked at it, gone “Huh, that’s a mind-control plot, obviously”, and nobody would have cared beyond the occasional 4chan post. But it’s “shocking” and “unexpected”, so it gained some traction, which Marvel’s…
Yeah, came here to say this too. Since when was instant gentrification a good thing?
Maybe... Maybe just stick to DC Comics, CW. You have Supergirl now! You can polish that into a great show! And it’ll have lots of company with Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and iZombie! (And Arrow, though maybe we need to sit them in the corner for writing exercises before letting them out to play next season.) Let’s...…
Am I the only one that finds using holograms in concerts/performances kind of ghoulish? Copyright being extended centuries after death is bad enough, but literally taking the voice and image of dead performers and sticking them on a stage? It seems only very slightly removed from actually digging up the bodies,…
Paid.
Hm.
You know, NPR had a segment on Marketplace today where Michael Uslan, one of the owners of the Batman film rights, talked about becoming the first instructors of comic book folklore at an accredited university. He persuaded his school’s headmaster at the time to approve the course by explaining how comic books had…
It’s missing a rather notable live-action entry.
You need to provide a source, then, because every media outlet reporting on this story says his first speech on the subject was in 1987. The only mention of it he made in 1985 -I- can find was in response to a question at a press conference, where he vacillated on the subject of letting children with AIDS remain in…
First, 1987, not 1985. If you’re going to repeatedly claim people have the facts wrong, it helps if you don’t make basic mistakes like not getting the years right.
I can readily accept it being a mistake, but even out of ignorance, it’s still very offensive. And that’s a LOT of ignorance to be showing off - like, Trump refusing to disavow white supremacist groups level of ignorance.
Are you seriously suggesting she deliberately insulted an entire group of people who might vote for her? That is not a rational belief.
Yeah, she screwed up. It happens. Idk. But she apologized soon after. I really don’t know what people want her to do. Like, she’s not gonna be like “it was a malicious lie to pander to republicans” bc duh, and also I doubt that’s what happened.
It wasn’t a misstep and she didn’t misspeak. To say that the Reagans were ADVOCATES for the gay community during the HIV crisis is like claiming Henry Ford didn’t really hate Jews, he just had concerns about how they were stereotyped. Anybody with even the faintest knowledge of LGBT history in this country should know…
The plan was to distract Kilgrave long enough for Jessica to get close and kill him. That didn’t work, so she had to improvise.
The other brawls are still easy enough to make gold in, if you spend 5 minutes looking at someplace like Icy Veins for a quick basic decklist.
If you play the Tavern Brawls, usually pretty easy.
The difference between profits from comic book sales and box office sales is the difference between a glass of water and the ocean. The BEST comic book titles will sell between 100k-150k units, while the average will sell anywhere from 10-50k units. Most of those unit sales will have a profit of well under a dollar…
As much as I love seeing the various X-Teams doing their thing, the X-Men line has needed a massive reboot for at least a decade, because their continuity is just horrifying to a casual fan at this point. Unfortunately, since Marvel doesn’t have the movie rights, they’ve actively tried to keep the X-Men out of the…
