Hah! I’m not a comics reader, but there is a chance that via regular pop culture osmosis that is where the idea actually came from! Thanks for that link.

They just don’t make superheroes like bicycle repair man anymore:

That’s my point though. When you make the decision to buy into a large shared universe like Marvel or DC or Star Wars or whatever, you have to accept that every character has their own stories, and that sometimes that means that, logic aside, they go it alone instead of getting help.

“The CW take on the suit is a little different, retaining the cape of Hoechlin’s usual Superman outfit while giving the look a frankly much-needed collar.”

Maybe it’s just me, but this never bothered me. Any superhero universe falls apart when you ask that kind of question - Why doesn’t Spider-Man ask Thor to help him beat up Rhino? Why doesn’t Batman ask The Flash to lend a hand next time Scarecrow’s seconds away from dousing Gotham City with fear gas? Why does any…

There’s a certain city in my dreams that is not exactly a real city, but definitely shares some characteristics with cities I’ve known, and which recurs occasionally in my dreams. I’ve taken to referring to it as my “oneiropolis.”

Oh, well, I’m sure if you’d made clear earlier that you were a Michelin-Star-Eating-Motherfucker, everybody would have agreed that you were right and they were wrong and asked for forgiveness.

Counterpoint: a paying customer has the right to ask for a product that is normally served in an array of levels of being cooked and a cook worth his skill will know how to prepare it in such fashion and still be good. These chefs and the dregs of society known as steak snobs are they overgrown babies that constantly…

Yeah, totally! A properly cooked well done steak is plenty juicy and I have gotten good at cooking them. You have to switch up how you approach a steak to be cooked well done to better do it justice. I constantly see people bitching about cooking well done steak while cooking it like a steak you would cook to a…

My order is medium-rare because, like basically everyone you interviewed, I understand how fantastic a steak tastes when cooked to medium-rare. (By the way, someone should fire Kevin Pang for ruining a medium-rare ribeye with some steak sauce, and doubling-down on doing so by saying it wasn’t just for the assignment,…

Looks like we need to pick up the lingo.

It kinda looks like they modeled the Toddler off of toddler Moana.

I love Harry Potter as much as the next guy, but it’s full of ideas that would be extremely terrible in real life. The Sorting Hat and the tribalism associated with the Hogwarts Houses are two of them.

Changing the music and the cuts in a trailer can really make a world of difference. For example, I give you Shining:

I think you should really take another look at this show. It delt with allot of real issues.

The origin of amber is still somewhat mysterious and geologists still disagree whether amber deposits represent the chance preservation of normal volumes of resin over a long period of time; or if ‘succinosis’ - the production of abnormal volumes of resin - is a result of stress in the trees either from disease or…

Modern angiosperms had not yet evolved at that point, so most of the trees were either gymnosperms—which are very sap rich—and lower plants like cycads, ferns and mosses. So yeah, there was probably a ton of open sap around given that a large portion of the foliage was of the sap-producing variety.
