It makes total sense though, it's the first movie since Avengers where people have been actively doubting it. "Say hello to Marvel's first flop" and all that shit I've been reading for the last 6 months. I haven't been hearing it as much since they've been flooding the internet with clips and character breakdowns and…

Thanos, baby.

It could be something just to restart the clock too. I know for most people, myself included when I first started, you're coming into issue #300 or 400-something and it's a little daunting knowing what's good or where to start. Having a #1 probably helps encourage new readers to pick it up because it's a fresh start…

I'm more commenting on how many books they've done it to in the last couple years and that it seems like a sign of trouble on the comics side of things. And changing the status quo isn't the issue as much as changing it while they have hugely successful movies to bring in new fans. A kid who's just seen Captain…

I'm not a comic reader anymore, even back in the day it was just a lot of Spider-Man and some Xmen, but Marvel is shaking things up in multiple books lately, which makes me wonder if they're hurting bad or something. I know major shake ups are always temporary, but it's also a ploy to boost sales and when they drop…

what's the big deal? every woman watches the view. it's how they all get on the same cycle, i thought. and they vacuum during the commercial breaks. or eat chocolate. and when the man of the house (ie. the guy who pays for the place) gets home, they nag him to death instead of letting him enjoy his beer in peace.…

beefier computers more help during production though, while you're working, rendering is still a bottleneck. Big productions get by on hour+ frames because they have huge render farms with a hundred or more machines working. Everything is going GPU these days though so yeah "choking" your computer isn't the real…

Not the answer we're looking for, thanks for playing

I dunno, there hasn't been that many. The last batman origin before Nolan was in 89. The last relevant superman movie was the 78 one. Xmen technically didn't do a new origin. The only unnecessary one is Spider-man's but I never thought Sony was one to think outside the box anyway. BvS is skipping the batman origin all…

I never said he wasn't [exclamation point]

The Force, will be the explanation. It gets out stains, it fixes your space cruiser, it brings back the dead. Billy Mays will explain it all.

In general I've always liked the 2-parters because they're usually two stories with one thread that connects them in the middle instead of one long story. Some of the Smith 2-parters weren't so great, but the Tennent ones I always remember liking. Except that epic 3-parter they did with the Master. I guess it was all…

I agree, forums are the new focus group. Problem is that your typical forum user doesn't really know what they're talking about. I can't help but feeling like Vin Diesel got the role for Groot simply because he started the rumor that he was playing him though. So maybe it works.

I get the feeling with most of the BvS rumors that it's just some asshole executive troll's idea for how to drum up interest in the movie. Flood the internet with rumors "from a reliable source" just to get people talking about it. I also just got the image of an executive troll living under a bridge reading memos.…

I think it's more to do with all the unsubstantiated Star Wars and BvS rumors that come out on a daily basis than with Morning Spoilers as a whole. I just skip over those two now so I don't suffer the same overload that this poor bastard did.

check it for space dust first

eh, it's 'right tool for the right job' for me. The addition of 3d printing will improved what they could do with the animation and I agree about how some practical effects pull you out of the movie. Smoke and rain being chief examples.

story wise it looks like Jungle Book meets 101 Dalmations to me. Except instead of jungle animals it's box trolls and instead of the bad guy wanting Dalmations fur for a coat it's cheese.

This is off topic a bit but I wonder if he makes more off the books or from the HBO deal. I'd think the books but if he was smart with HBO I'll bet he'd stand to make more from the show and blu ray sales in the end. Not to mention merchandise. If he was smart about it at least. I guess you could argue that without the…
