The only time I've ever seen Deadpool used to deconstruct anything was when Daniel Way & Steve Dillon used the character to deconstruct the role of Wolverine as a commercially successful faux-antihero, in their "Wolverine: Origins" series (which has very few ties to the similarly-titled movie).

Where have you been that they haven't tried all-ages Batman comics?

I'm pretty sure you're "the worst kinda nerd there is", champ.

Marvel and DC have repeatedly attempted to create all-ages and young-adult lines for their books. The reason they've attempted it over and over is because those lines keep failing. They don't sell.

Because they've determined it sells.

But we're talking "iconic" to a tiny sliver of the audience for this show. It's like complaining that they used the Golden Age look for "The Brave and the Bold": few of the all-ages viewers would know or care. I'm sure some people did complain. As for this look, the beard in this episode looks like a lot of the DC…

I had a great time with it until cutesy-wootsy, timesy-wimesy started showing up in the scripts. It's part of what kills Joss Whedon's shows for me, how they live half on the Internet discussion medium of whatever era they're in ("big bad", etc.), but I understand there's a big mutual audience for his shows and that…

If I had to guess, a good 70-80% of your comments are nothing but whining about identity politics. Sava's getting paid; you're providing your whining for free. It seems like any criticism that applies to him applies to you, and you're also a sucker.

I was about to give you a remedial course in how pretending problems don't exist isn't the same as solving them, but then I saw "SJW" in your comments so I know you're not a "learn new things" sort of guy.

Um…

On the other hand, you could also call someone the "Jack Kirby of kung-fu cinema" based precisely on how many movies they can crank out.

Hey, now. That's incredibly offensive to his species.

And does he also get a budget ten times larger so that he can actually ever do any of his cool Daredevil bullshit

Hey now, that's incredibly offensive to his species…

Hey now, that's incredibly offensive to his species.

Man, to be a culture writer, and have a "favorite Oscar memory"…

It's hard to make Rip Hunter nice. Everything about that character has always had an amoral tint since its genesis. It's the same reason that it's so easy to make Mr. Fantastic into a creepy psychopath a la Venture Bros. or nearly every alternate universe version of him that's ever appeared—it's that awkward chunk of…

And, in the books, a blond. John Byrne must have been livid.

That's a great summary of how the shine wore off the show you're referencing, though.
