Peter Parker was a whiny pouting bitch in Raimi's Spider-man movies. I hated the cast in that series (except for JJJ). I wouldn't say Garfield did a great job with the character either though, too much of that "aw-shucks" crap. Spider-man is a cocky bastard in the comics, though, so I was glad they represented that…

Yeah, I saw that too, him searching for a father figure was a big part of his character development. Which is pretty unlike the comics so I'm not sure how much it'll help the mythos if they keep it going in the sequel.

dry land is a myth

yesssssss, thank you

Fund NASA, build a mining infrastructure on the moon, bring Helium-3 back and develop fusion reactors. Be energy independent by 2025.

Good thing women never cheat, otherwise the data from this experiment would be entirely inconclusive

I didn't really like Contagion. I thought I would, but the multiple story lines, that didn't really connect, made the whole film feel unfocused. I never really cared about any one of those characters because none of them were important. That form of storytelling works well in literature, but is much harder to pull off…

All right, I'm super confused. So, the NASA Authorization Act in 2010 was signed, supposedly to support growth in space activities. But the Constellation program was canceled. The Orion spacecraft stayed in development, however. And apparently so did the SLS. But now, they're saying all these big plans might be…

I definitely agree with you there. I'm all for clean energy, but only because it makes more sense than relying on non-renewable resources. As for global warming, maybe humans are accelerating it, but I don't think we can do a damn thing about it except attempt to stop contributing to the problem. Even if we don't, the…

Star Trek-n-Field

I definitely don't think there's a controversy here. Maybe bad timing for the Internets delicate sensibilities. T-Dog wasn't some 'black stereotype', he was just an unfortunately bad character. That's on the season 2 writers for not fleshing him out more when they could have. It seemed like they were starting to…

I thought killing Lori off early like that was a bit risky, story-wise.

Is it any worse than the 'astronaut's wives fashion shows"?

I thought that somewhere along the way they discovered that the Tyrannosaurus was a scavenger and not a hunter. Now I don't know who to believe..

Good point about Hershel and Beth, you're probably right there. I thought the same thing about T-Dog at first too, but I read this thing where the show runner made some comment about wanting to introduce Tyrese at some point. So he might be coming yet. I kind of felt like Daryl was taking some of Tyrese's second in…

Does anyone else think that the prisoner that Rick abandoned in the basketball court will either end up being Tyrese or end up taking Tyrses' badass survival story arch? Granted he didn't resemble Tyrese from the comics, but Daryl and Merle weren't in the comics at all and Sofia and Dale lasted a lot longer too. I'll…

Yeah, I love that they didn't Sam-Raimi Gwen out of this reboot, but she's gotta die at some point in the trilogy. Naturally it's just speculation, but it's kind of too bad I keep hearing it wont happen til the third movie. It almost has to happen at the end of the second. You can't kill her off at the beginning of…

I think Helium-3 is the best reason to fund NASA for a return to the moon. It's silly really, when you think about it, after billions spent developing the technology and procedures they only went up there six times. The first three were just exploration, checking stuff out, they didn't really even start geological…

Someone should pitch Warner Brother's that idea, kill them all off in the first movie. That way I wont have to read about terrible DC movies that are in production every morning here on io9. It's bad enough that they publish every production photo, interviews with no information in them, every casting call, every…

Oh, don't get me started on Superman. Easily the worst character imagined. Who cares about someone who's never really in danger. Being Superman on Earth is like me going to a kiddy pool and saying I'm a better swimmer than all of the 2 year olds in there. He's boring. Oh don't get me started on Superman.. and Wonder…
