It makes sense. At this point, the X-Men and FF films (and their respective source IP) represent competition for Marvel’s film business. While they are forced to honor the letter of the contract they signed back in the 1990’s, they don’t have to make it easy for Fox to make money off the characters.

The beauty of the patch/eyepatch question is that the answer isn’t truly an either/or. You can have your casual glass eye for when you’re out and about taking care of day-to-day things and want to be inconspicuous, and then you can always just put on an eyepatch for when you want to look like Nick Fury. Best of both…
That...would have been epic.
I also really enjoyed Agent to the Stars. It’s bizarre, and often hilarious.
There is no more sure-fire way to make a person grumpy than to tell them that they look grumpy, and need to stop being grumpy.
Ultimately, I think the appropriate level of lightness/darkness is dependent on what fits the character, as there is no real one-size-fits-all mood. Part of what people disliked about Man of Steel was that Superman, and other members of the Super Family, tend to work better in a lighter tone. After all, Superman is a…
The problem is that I don’t think you could have precog abilities without developing a horrible neurosis.
The biggest problem is that universal precognition might in fact make you eminently stoppable, by virtue of decision paralysis. You’d spend so much time drawing up pro/con lists for all possible futures that you’d never actually affect them, which, for the rest of the world might be a good thing.
In all probability, both.
Oh man. It turns out that the Illuminati comics have all been a bunch of supervillains playing in Dr. Doom’s D&D campaign, with Doom playing Reed Richards as his DMPC. MODOK plays Tony Stark. Dormmamu is playing as Dr. Strange. Killmonger is playing as T’Challa. Magneto is playing as Professor X. Attuma is playing as…
I suspect Pegg’s perspective is in no small part influenced by his time working within the entertainment machine. Perhaps Pegg is reacting to the way that the major decision-makers in the industry have learned specific lessons from the films he cites, namely that people don’t care about the other stuff so long as…
Yeah, price discontent is always a tricky thing, and usually has a lot to do with the person grumbling not understanding the economics involved.
I know some people that run a sort of nerd social club in Seattle. It's a pretty sweet space, and tends to be a bit better for running a recurring RPG than just the local game shop or gaming pub, which are really better suited for tournament-style games.
And just like that, a kinda’ crappy Tuesday becomes much better. Thanks, guys!
The Denim Kit is a national treasure.
I don’t know. It seems a little early to be jumping to conclusions without having heard a line of dialog from her. We don’t even know if she will be speaking Galactic Common (English).
Fair enough! Makes sense to me!
Fear of gorillas is a new one. Not entirely irrational, but it’s an oddly specific fear, so there has to be a story behind that.
A few thoughts:
