Fair enough. But Spencer dragged himself. He refuses to acknowledge that he *might* be in the wrong, he attacks fans with straw man arguments, etc. Fanboyism may be bad, but a block headed creator is no better.

That just makes it worse. It means they made a shit sandwich, expected us to eat it and like it, and thank them afterwards. It justifies nothing.

Most of us knew there was going to be some bullshit “twist” at the end that will make Marvel act like nothing’s wrong, and their protestations that this is “the real Captain America, no brain-wash, no alternate reality, no clone, no LMD, no nothing” were always going to be as close to the truth as Moffat claiming the…

Congratulations sir, you continue to not get the point of why people were mad entirely. No, really, I commend you on that.

Ha ha, fuck those people for actually caring about things. You’re so much cooler with your ironic detachment and your early 90's forced irony.

I remember when knowing such blisteringly esoteric factoids like ‘Comic book twists are usually bullshit’ made me feel special too.

You just hang on to that feeling, buddy.

If the creative people with whom Anita Sarkeesian meets have so little conviction in their work that they wilt to her whims the moment she talks about what she values in the depiction of women in games, that’s on them, no?

Is anyone else picking up the connections between these events & Snyder’s fun Easter Eggs in his DC films? First, Owl saves Bruce’s parents, during the excellent Watchmen opening credits (which COULD explain why Thomas Wayne is Batman). Next, in BvS, JD Morgan (Comedian) plays Thomas Wayne. Then, in the upcoming…

Bruce: So you’re Batman and I’m dead in this universe? What happened to mom?

my favorite part of this meme will forever be Selvig’s gritted face in the corner. It’s so good and it goes with every joke.

“Diversity hurts our sales so we are gonna make all of heroes Nazis like Captain America”

It doesn’t get much better than David Cronenberg’s The Fly, the 1986 remake of the scifi classic. That’s a film that works in so many ways, it’s silly to think anyone could do better.

This “it’s for the fans” garbage is what creates the kind of toxic backlash the nerd community has become known for.

Absolutely not my intention, and thank you for pointing that out. I’ve edited to clarify what I meant, and I hope it’s better!

I would personally pay them 50 american dollars for a Vehicle Voltron 1-3 episode arc. I don’t care how they contrive it narratively.

“New content added” just gave me horrible flash back to the Transformers Generation 2 “cartoon” which was just the original G1 show with weird CGI bits thrown in for transition. Power Rangers did something similar a while back as well.

The mads’ outfits are the only part that seems weird to me- even when Pearl was just visiting Dr. Forrester, or when she was flying around in the Widowmaker, green was a major color in her wardrobe.

They’re trying to give Jonah his own jumpsuit color, kind of the way Joel (mostly) wore red and Mike (mostly) wore blue. And Joel has said he doesn’t want anyone to know the movies ahead of time, because he thought part of the fun was being surprised by something obscure and culty, but he did say that they would be…

They have to use bad movies in order to make jokes. Good movies provide fewer jokes. It also costs less to get the rights to crap movies.
