OH! MY! GOD!

Trump's presidency delves pretty deeply into media theory, which is something that politics in general have only flirted with in the past (and most of it is just a surface understanding). If this country isn't a massive crater or some sort in a decade, there are going to be a couple thousand books written about this

About as much as Casey Affleck and Scott Caan did in Ocean's 13.

It wasn't hard to see that was already on the table given that he only listed two movies. I mean, he could have included Man of Steel in the list and at least there would have been *just* enough to see a pattern. Also, apparently there's a story floating around that negative critical reaction of BvS "forced" WB to

Ben AFFLECKS us all.

Only 30% though, which is where those positive reviews are coming from obviously.

I think it has more to do with the person in this case.

I flipped through the new Rom and it at least looked interesting enough. The stuff they've been doing with Transformers is really interesting and More Than Meets the Eye is surprisingly an excellent book.

Yes, right, there is the potential for a really great writer with Mark Millar but too often he's left to his own devices and just the worst comes out. People point to his Captain America as being somewhat terrible but he's also able to capture what it would be like for someone who was in the '40s to be transporter to

Doesn't IDW also have the Micronauts?

Okay, so Ta-Nehisi Coates was present for the monthly Black Panther book club the comic store in DC I go to regularly does and a lot of things he was talking about that he was trying to do with Black Panther I thought was entirely in the realm of Starman (I didn't mention this because it felt entirely too tangential

Ugh, and this is the exact kind of thing that needs to be thought through and shown in the main series instead of the world (or maybe just the US) celebrating Clint killing Bruce.

He has moments too that just makes the frustrating parts that much more infuriating. Like there's an amazing, conscience writer in Millar but his worst habits have been so applauded and reinforced time and again that we get the relatively shit writer he's become.

And Rick Jones was the most important person…I mean cite "source material" we could go on like this.

Ugh, I saw something this morning where a person was claiming no one understood Trump's satire (presumably in regards to his tweet storm last night). This election has made it pretty hard to do satire just based on how difficult it'd be to identify it as opposed to what's actually our current reality.

That's been my biggest issue with the last week. I'm all for protest, but you have to be critical in your analysis of what you're protesting. If Sanders platform differed greatly from Clinton's at this point in the election or if the DNC had actually rigged the primaries against Sanders' campaign instead of just

Please no.

Make America 60 cents again!

Or really that it's just one large house in DC.
