Jesus, I hope it doesn't take that long. As the production technology gets cheaper (distribution costs of digital files is already practically zero), I expect many creators of colour to completely bypass the existing studios and their white execs and go with some kind of online-release system. You can kind of see it

Now you can fight your loved ones over something else that's completely inane!

"My enchanted shin!"

I hope Adam Warlock shows up in his 70s briefs.

There's a cool ending. For what it's worth, I think it goes downhill after Lord of Chaos.

The Norse didn't have the resources to really exploit their discovery, unlike the English, French, or Spanish, and did not have the population to build lasting colonies.

Indonesians sometimes still go by one name only too. That's changing too, or so I've read.

Those were actually huge two-and even three-hulled canoes (catamarans and trimarans) that were more stable on the ocean than single-hulled vessels, and thus better at transporting colonists and their livestock and whatnot. A mid-sized vessel could hold about 50 to 60 people. And these guys were really good navigators,

Stop looking on Grindr.

I wonder if Skeletor ever got over his obvious need to work out all the time to compensate for his skeletal head. (Body dysmorphia issues often arise from poor self-worth.) I also wonder if anyone ever told him he was pronouncing Evelyn's name incorrectly.

It seems that the writer considers Superman to be equivalent to God, as 'he' and 'his' are capitalized when referring to him. I guess this makes sense if you consider his god-like powers. If he can alter mass and inertia through pure force of will then he's basically God-Man from the Tom the Dancing Bug comic strip.

They need to adapt the Predator vs Magnus, Robot Fighter comic book. In summary, it's the future and the Predator comes to Earth to hunt down the asshole who stole one of its trophies. Said asshole is a military guy who hunts down thinking robots for fun, so there's some irony there. Magnus, general do-gooder, then

Haven't the producers every played Total War? You don't send your cavalry into a forest, because then they lose the advantage of their speed and mobility, and become vulnerable to your enemy's war pigs.

They can just do a flashback kinda thing, with an establishing shot of the Red Wedding's aftermath and maybe a comment or two from the characters to clue in the audience about the timeline.

"A Man who was Superman" is pretty interesting, but it helps if you know a bit about the Gwangju Uprising. Same for "The President's Last Bang" and the dictatorship era. The somewhat recent Sunny is very fun and also kind of morbid.

It would be interesting to see a regular movie (i.e. where they're not constantly bringing up how black they are or whatever) where all the characters are minorities and there's one random white guy.

I always figured that meant the two guys got together in the end.

I don't watch Girls, but apparently Archie comics have a more diverse cast.

Probably still another five to ten years until human safety trials, then another five to ten years for efficacy trials (to prove that it actually works). So you're looking at least another ten years before you can get a prescription for hearing loss (and that's assuming the drug proves to be safe for humans and is

Empire Strikes Back was a planned part of a trilogy, and not created from scratch like Robocop 2 or Godfather 2.
