Brawn and MMA physiques don't make one a killer or a fighter. Ronda Rousey's mom, a judo master, could probably kill you and me, but she looks like a petit middle age lady. Master fighters like Jack Dempsey or Sugar Ray Robison didn't have hulking physiques. In fact, overly muscled fighters can fatigue quickly, to

Clemons death bugged me in that it felt like a tired trope times three (cop near retirement, consistent voice of moral clarity and the black guy). And Marvel had already used this story beat in Daredevil with the black Ben Urich. But mostly I just really like the actor playing Clemons and he had such great chemistry

I think the context clearly showed that he was making it up on the spot. Otherwise, Simpson would have been more precise as if he was sure of their routine. Note we never see the servants outside (reinforcing that they are prisoners). Could Simpson's team subdue and remove the servants before triggering a bomb

Way too brief. I thought his role in Kiss The Girls, opposite Naomi Judd and Morgan Freeman, would be included, as well as Twister, Glory, Ella Enchanted and Hot Shots! And did we forget Elwes played Ted Bundy and Pope John Paull II?

Its called the Mission Impossible franchise and people love it.

Where are Black Lives Matter protestors when they are really needed!

Diamondback was actually the closest to an arch-villain for Cage, since he killed Luke's girlfriend and helped railroad him into jail. I'll admit I sort of liked Nightshade and Cockroach Hamilton.

The People Under The Stairs always struck me as Wes Craven's version of a Grimm's fairy tale, with Fool as an amalgam of those tales plucky heroes like Jack, Red Riding Hood and Hansel. I was always disappointed that there wasn't a vast Tolkein-esque realm under that house.

This means Cap finally gets laid, right? He'll probably die in Civil War, he should know the touch of a woman (who isn't trying to his ass) at least once.

I admit unapologetic appreciation of Dirty Harry, The Dark Knight, Sean Connery's Bond and other semi fascistic, authoritarian heroes even though I would oppose them vehemently in real life. There is definitely a part of brain that gets a dopamine rush from the faux justified street justice and power fantasies.

While DD doesn't have Wolverine's healing factor, there have been multiple allusions in the tv series to his ability to survive wounds and recover more quickly than ordinary humans (see episode 2). This may be the result of his training with Stick, akin to how Iron Fist can use his Chi force to heal himself.

How could Homocide: Life on the Street not make this list? The episodes where Vincent Donofrio is run over by a train and realizes he will die when the train moves come to mind, as does the episode where Det. Bayliss kills himself.

Judging by the show description, I'd say fans of the original comic book series.

Close tie between the pool party scene in Boogie Nights and the Sister Christian scene in Boogie Nights.

Missing from consideration: the original Johnny Quest, Young Justice, Justice League & JLU, Tartakovsky's Clone Wars, Frisky Dingo (no Archer without it), Harvey Birdman.

That primal scream you hear is BET rending its garments.

I'm getting a hard on just from reading this debate. Star Wars geeks are back! And by the way, you're right about the plasma but I've never heard light as being a reference to the weight of the saber. Are there "heavy" sabers in the Star Wars Universe?

I'm liking this season's start a bit better than the first season, in part because there is more team chemistry and agents all seem competent at their job. But I've come to the overall conclusion that the series tight tie to Marvel's movie continuHeity is hampering. It limits the narrative possibilities and slows the

After catching the last two episodes of Boardwalk Empire and discovering its good again, I had to binge watch the last half of the prior season. Then I had to do some research on ABC Family and ended up bingewatching the first season of The Fosters. And I'm not ashamed: Teri Polo is terrific, the other actors are good

I can dig it. It is just a shame that we may never see an iteration of him on the big screen. He hasn't even been in animated Marvel show in decades.
