The Preacher adaptation is better than the comics, but the comics didn't set a terribly high bar. Sandman is the comics equivalent of filet mignon.

Batman does show up at least once in The Wake. He was also mentioned in a stand-up routine in Death's first appearance. (I was wondering why the comic didn't know Batman was Bruce Wayne, and then I realized of course she wouldn't, because Batman is a real person to her.) Martian Manhunter figured prominently into the…

I'm assuming the problem is that the execs want a superhero movie.

Again, no reason we can't do this AND Sandman.

Yeah. It's like a 5 or 6 year TV show at minimum, and that's pretty much just a straight adaptation of the existing material, without accounting for changes in adaptation.

Why is it one or the other?

Negga is great in Preacher. She took a boring, flat character from the comics and made her the best one on the TV show. No easy feat.

True, but it seems mean to point that out.

Don't put your hand in that. Now we have to start all over.

You know, that really was the best X-Factor, in retrospect.

So, why is Luke Cage's forearm nearly as big as Iron Fist's whole torso? Are we just bad at art or is this some weird fetish?

But did Roland actually remember everything after the reset? I thought he still forgot it all but had the horn, and that was the only thing that was different.

That was my thought exactly. Moving a film to the summer should increase visibility and box office.

That's wildly unlikely. It's marginally more likely he'll win the electoral vote and lose the popular vote. Still, Hillary has the edge for both, according to every model I've seem.

I don't think it's that they are annoyed that they have to hear about it. It's that the whole thing produces so much anxiety that we hope it will all turn out okay and we can stop worrying about it. I doubt any of the folks you're talking about are neutral when it comes to who wins the election.

In the second season of Black Mirror, a literal cartoon character ran for Parliament and rose to power solely by hurling vicious insults at his opponents. TV critics at the time said it was simply too tenuous to be believed, and that it was far too heavy-handed to be taken seriously.
