Science fiction seems to be the new big genre from funnybooks. I am just noticing this now. I guess everyone wants to be the next Saga? Or at least get away from the long underwear and talk about something serious while still retaining the distance that science fiction allows.

Got a spare couple of days?

I feel like a "Mwa-ha-ha!" is in order. I really do.

James Bond does the same in that first Dalton movie.

I always assumed that was because it was the 80s, and interracial hook-ups were still a no-no in pop culture. Got to be able to play in the South!

It's like, every time they have gone over the top, the next scene they find another top to go over.

I've always liked Thunderdome.

Does it have anything to do with Joel Gray in yellowface? I love the Destroyer in all his forms, especially that movie, but in today's climate, maybe the fact that the Korean badass is not played by a Korean, let alone an Asian actor, may make folks leery about Remo Williams.

I think Indy just had a lot more shirtless scenes in Temple, so you notice. He looks fit in a 1930s kind of way, but hardly "ripped."

Foley!

Uh, no. No they don't. At no point do Batman or Gordon murder anyone, blow up a hospital, hold a city hostage, or try to trick a SWAT team into killing hostages. They fail to save Rachel and Harvey, but they find a way to make those losses matter and salvage victory from Harvey's death.

She doesn't have superpowers, which is different from being "unarmed." But she's still willing to get into the thick of things and fight to save the Earth. That's pretty much the definition of heroism. Firemen aren't fireproof but they run into burning buildings. Why is that something to mock?

Well, shit, this is where I admit that I am not as immune to this kind of crap as I thought I was. I would burn a MacGuyver reboot to the ground, but the idea of Thomas Magnum's daughter playing private investigator in paradise tickles me to no end. I loved that show - I still love that show - without irony. The world…

I always thought Magnum's "little voice" would turn out to be actual ESP, too! This must be what it's like when doves cry.

The woman who uses guns, knives, and tasers against the aliens? That's "unarmed"? I'd stick with the Hulk, if I was you.

His plans fail, he ends up captured by Batman, and the Gordons are saved. No, the Joker doesn't win. I can see how you might be fooled, but then again there's a scene in the film where Batman actually says "the Joker can't be allowed to win" and then outlines a plan whereby the Joker doesn't win. Textually, Batman…

But you said that the bad guy wins? You're not making a lot of sense, Blurred Lines. Which is it, now?

3!

Yeah, but the unarmed guy was the fucking Hulk.

Actually, to be fair, Thanos usually wins.
