Can't they just get rid of everybody at this point? Fire Gruden, Cut RGIII, and someone get on finding the 7 horcruxes needed to destroy Daniel Snyder. That would be the only good outcome at this point.
Yeah, because if there is one thing we can all relate to, it's being a handsome career criminal who all of the sudden gets to be a hero general of an insurrection and fall in love with a beautiful princess. I mean, that's my Tuesday.
This always bugs me. That you can plug in the right kind of elements and get a great story. Good stories are good stories. Whether it is saving the whole of reality or going to the grocery store to pick up a frozen pizza, if the person telling the story is talented and knows what they are doing, chances are its going…
One of my personal favorites from "What's so funny about Truth, Justice, and the American Way?"
It is something that I've come to expect in SF. Look at Doctor Who, the Doctor has been around for over a half century in all kinds of media and we still know very little about him. Also the Xenomorphs from Alien(s), there was an article here that talked about the confusion over what their name really is, and it's…
I'm excited this one has finally got a US release date. I doubt it will play in the theaters where I live, but hopefully they will do VOD around the same time. Hopefully it is not one of those "it's all in her head" type movies. That twist has lost its punch.
There is a difference between displaying dysfunctional relationships and acting like relationships are the enemy of good stories.
That's how I have always viewed it. Not that a functional relationship was uninteresting, but that it was a handicap to the character and women somehow suck out the magic superhero juices or whatever. Modern comic book writers are terrible at this, cloaking their own discomfort with women as storytelling wisdom. It's…
What exactly is the point of the Sinister Six movie? What's the conflict? Is it a heist movie or something like that? I would actually go see it if the plot was "because Marvel is making a crapload of money, we want some of that action too." Otherwise this seems like a disaster waiting to happen.
Not sure, that's why I said my knowledge is spotty. But I think they are older.
What? I said the Eternals, not the Inhumans. Besides, I'm going with Adam Warlock as the most likely.
Making it Adam Warlock would work in the overarching Infinity Gauntlet storyline. My knowledge is spotty on the matter, but could it be one of the Eternals? I know the Inhumans are going to get a big push, but the Eternals seem like a prime target to fill the void caused by the lack of mutants. But I would bet on…
That's a false equivalence between hard science fact about not being able to move faster than the speed of light and made up social conventions that govern gender. Gender roles only partly deal with biology and are constantly changing. Even limiting your view to western history reveals this. For example the ancient…
If the Batman v Superman stuff is true, doesn't it create a post "Avengers" style problem, like where the hell was everybody while Zod was trying to turn the planet into a giant alien nursery? I can understand Batman not showing up, but Wonder Woman would definitely have stepped in to stop the world from ending.
I tracked down the editor of Avengers and Winter Soldier, pictured here:
Michael Douglas inferred it when he gave the background to his version of Pym at Comic-Con.
Even with Hank being a non-starter, they could have chosen to use an older Janet instead of an older Hank, a solution that probably never occurred to Feige or any of the other decision makers.
Watchmen comes to mind as a combination of dystopia and superheroes. To a lesser degree The Authority. Also Batman: Holy Terror and The Dark Knight Returns.
I figured it out the hard way. But thank you.
