Stiffler's a dick, not a douchebag. Stiffler was a hyper, clowning, immature bully. He makes lame insults about your mom, chugs a gallon of Jose Cuervo, dry humps some chick before she slaps him, and then vomits all over himself. In other words, likable in the right context.

He's a handsome douchebag. It sells. Trixies wanna do him, douchebags wanna be him. Thing is, Cooper's not bad when playing against his obvious type, like he did on "Alias." But when he plays a douchebag, he's just insufferable since he's like some kind of Platonic ideal of The Douchebag.

I think a lot of the objections here are based on the fact that:

GeoX is spot on the money. We're not ignorant about the subject. We've seen Quirk churn these one joke tomes out month after month the same way Hollywood churns out Jennifer Aniston rom-coms. I don't need to see "The Bounty Hunter" to know it sucks. The pedigree is enough.

Oh, that's bullshit. Yes, they can. I mean, how do you think Celine Dion's Vegas show was?

Agreed. STOP IT, AV CLUB! You're just encouraging it.

Hhhmmm… should I listen to the person who saw and liked "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" or take it at its title that it sucked?

Fuck mashups
God I'm so fucking sick of this stupid fucking trend.

Well, I thought she was mostly wrong about her own character, who I thought was funny and likable with realistic flaws. She was human.

Heigl was right about "Knocked Up," but she justifiably earned the world's scorn by releasing movie after movie that make KU look like a Jezebel discussion thread.

Wait…
A black Spider-Man is fine, but why the fuck is it going to be a "gritty reboot"? Why the fuck would you make Spider-Man gritty?! Dammitt, that shit ruined 90% of comics in the '90's. Spider-Man especially, who has no business being gritty.

Kielbasa,

Yeah, Hollywood does WW2 better than almost anything, since they do it at least twice a year. But Thor's tricky, even in the comics. When done well, he's amazing: a Thunder God battling other gods, or frost giants, or monsters. When he's just another superhero battling the Absorbing Fucking Man in Tribeca, he sucks.

"You see, I'm not actually 40-years old…"

Chartex,

Weinerslave,

What do we think about Thor?
I was excited about the possibility of a Thor movie until the shot of his hammer in Iron Man 2. It looked like something you'd buy in a Marvel Cosplay booth at a Comic Convention. Still, I have to admire Marvel's long con with the Avengers. Taking a decade or so to build up interest in an…

I hope they still have Cap's origins in WW2. It seems so integral to his character.

Slattery
It's a shame they're not keeping Slattery. I thought his awkward, boozy Walt Disney take was one of the highlights of Iron Man 2.

Yeah, that interpretation is screwy. Then again, I guess I just don't like a show where the "good guy" crashes a jetliner full of people just so he can find the one guy to kill his brother, whom he made into a monster, just because he wanted to leave. And why does Jacob just let Richard kill them all, even the…
