I have to say, that statement wasn't very coherent. As I understand it, the article is 'taking shots' at shit textbooks that claim they're teaching knowledge, not at religion. This particular book just happens to involve religion. As for the 'failure of inner-city public schools to educate minority children", you're…

You know, from a business standpoint I understand why Hollywood is trying to appeal to Chinese audiences, but at the same time I find myself asking "why bother?" Doesn't a foreign movies' charm come from it being heavily rooted in that countries culture? I mean, if China developed it's own version of Hollywood and…

Well, I'm getting my information on this from io9 (the most reputable news source on the internet), and they said it was a permanent change. Hence the outcry. I doubt even fanboys would pitch a fit like this and send in death threats if it were announced as a 12 issue story arch or something. I highly doubt it will…

My point is that good characters and good stories are what sells. Not gimmicks. The idea is neat and all for a storyacrh, but to come out and say it's permanent and Peter Parker is gone forever makes it a stupid comic book selling gimmick. Just like Supermans dead and X-men's Age of Apocalypse and Spider-mans Clone…

I know what you mean, but saying the comics should reflect the movies is like saying the egg should be more like the chicken. There ought to be a movieverse comic line (isn't there one for the Avengers, Ultimate something or other?) and the mainline comics still get to do what they do. That way people introduced…

I don't think a big confusing gimmicky wind-up is the way to revitalize a long-running comic character. An interesting storyarch, a new artist, new villains, crossovers, ...but a new protagonist?

I agree. I have no problem whatsoever with black and white comics, it's actually less distracting and I can focus on the art that goes into each panel. Or even color comics on regular paper for that matter. Glossy paper isn't necessary except when it's an event comic. I always thought those were cool with the thick…

I'll be honest, I liked the episodes with as little Dean as possible.

Based on your views about how you believe you can speak to your god, you sound more Lutheran to me than Catholic. Speaking through the church is a staple point of Catholicism, and one of the main restrictions that lead to the formation of the Lutheran Church in the first place. Lutherans believe that you can speak to…

I find things the pope says about as relevant to my life as things the president says. But I'm neither religious nor patriotic, so...

He said a while back it'd take two season to tell that whole story, so if it's somehow getting condensed into one season then him leaving makes sense.

I don't know, it's the timing that doesn't make sense to me. Like I mentioned to someone else who argued that same point, Mazzara planned for the prison/woodbury storyarch to take two seasons, he said it in an interview a while back. It doesn't make sense to me for a person to spend all of that time and effort…

The season 2 lull seemed to happen out of a lack of direction while Mazara found his footing as new showrunner. since this is happening in the middle of a damn storyarch, just about anything can happen, my guess is the narrative will get messy in an attempt to up the pacing. The new person will at least have a clear…

Well they're definitely done filming season 3, and I take from those quotes that he'll be around to finish editing it. My point is that he said from the beginning of season 3 that the Governor story will span two seasons. It seems unnatural to put all his time and effort into developing this two season storyarch, then…

"I have told the stories I wanted to tell"

You think plot holes and unmotivated character decisions are easy to come up with?? You have to work hard to make a script that bad.

Here's a little backup to my claim, an interview with Jon Spaihts, the original script writer, talking about how the film compares to his final draft

After I left that reply I was curious so I looked it up, found an interview with Jon Spaihts, the original script writer.

How long do you imagine writing the script for a 2 hour blockbuster sci-fi movie set in an imaginary far off world with multiple complex characters and situations while linking it to an existing franchise and setting up a film that can support sequels should take?
