Speaking of Jesse Pinkman… The theater where I saw Thor started with a trailer for something called Need for Speed that looked so generic, overwrought and content-free, I was sure there was going to be a punchline at the end.

Oh, no! I'm trapped in an alternate universe where Warren Ellis is the kind of guy who would buy his daughter a pony!!!

Hey! Doesn't the Taco Bell Bong need to weigh in on this comment?

20 is a teenager. You'll figure that out 10 or 15 years from now.

I think more than a few people feel they already watched zombie versions of Hugh Laurie, Omar Epps and Robert Sean Leonard during the last few years of House…

That's true (about the SoL head. On the other hand, it's probably bigger than my "office" at home.
@avclub-41b182cde0c7b7efe3545795c447bbc5:disqus I think you're way off base about representation within the Marvel Universe. Here in the "real world," we worry about how well various minorities and the genders are…

My prediction: I'm going to post here to the AV Club in five years and ask if there was a remake of Robocop. At least 70 percent of the people who read it will have to really think about it or look it up on IMDB before they can answer.

The Bible says Adam and Eve not Modem and X-151!!!!

Yes, I love robots! It's not wrong! There are dozens of us! Dozens!

I thought I was seeing this movie but it turned out I accidentally got a ticket for Gopher Sisters starring Edward James Almost.

Imogen Gay Poots would beg to differ….

Maybe she could be a member of the Legion of Superheroes who can split into three different duplicates, all named Becca!

Yeah, I thought about that too. In specific, once you've found one oddball to be in your documentary about people obsessed with dolls, how do you find other oddballs with the same obsession to also be in it?
At a guess, I would say the Internet helps. No one has to be alone in their obsessions anymore no matter how…

(Exploiting family tragedy for a cash-grab crime novel couldn’t possibly have an adverse effect on a young girl already living through a trauma.)

Can someone explain this comment to me? Is McFarland trying to shame a fictional character over something that never really happened? Is he shocked because a TV show is…

And he thought his dreams were his ticket out…

Here's what I can't figure out: Have these people never seen a documentary? Don't they know that the whole purpose is to make them look like a weirdo freak?
(Yes, I read the review but all it tells me is that this documentary maker didn't quite underline the point three times….)
Why do these people who are the subjects…

I think you're talking about Grasshopper, at least in part, and there were multiple incarnations created to die. Which does, uh, not make it funnier to me.
Again, good for you if you liked it more than me. I'm sure I've liked some comics you thought were godawful. But It seemed to me that after their earliest GLA…

Right.
And the whole point of Jim Balent's art was to comment on how women are sexualized in comic books…

The "hero is killed off < wink, wink > to be replaced by a worse version" has been done to death with Batman, Superman, Captain America, etc.. Derivative.
Gets awful when we're expected to follow the adventures of a murderer for more than a year. And then, what, root for him? If not, why would you ask the readers to…

Nope.
Awful, derivative idea. Awful, creepy writer.
The "Clone Saga" didn't do it. Quesada's Magic Reset Button didn't do it. Chrome covers and dull art didn't do it.
But after decades of following Spider-Man's comic and regarding him as my favorite Marvel character, I'm done. Don't see the character recovering from…
