I always thought "Terminator" would cross over first because alternate universes became part of the concept with the second movie.

It was a brilliant move for that series to make, from chop-socky kung-fu to man-sized movie monsters. Exact same audience, exact same decadent gore.

Superman fought the Aliens once. It wasn't a great comic, in part because the writer felt he had to gimp Superman. I don't know why, since one of the scary parts of the monsters in those movies is that you might have to carve up an innocent person to stop them.

They kind of tried it with Predators, but didn't stick the landing.

Wow, I wonder why people in Manchuria might have a chip on their shoulder about the Japanese…

That ongoing push into VR is really gaining momentum! *leans into wall of Grand Canyon and continues to push*

Let's not make any more "Alien" movies without Sigourney Weaver, okay?

The one thing I really liked about the original X-Men design was how their similar outfits looked like a paramilitary strike force, as in, you might have some reason to be scared of them, but the costumes also seemed semi-practical just because they were uniform. And that changed pretty quickly in a "this is growing…

It's idly entertaining for me to match the comics of the '50s and '60s to the New Age religious trends that surrounded them, which were always friendly with, and in many cases endorsed by, science fiction writers in the United States. The Flash brought the Golden Age back by "vibrating" at the "frequency" of another…

Kirby's "X-Men" was pretty lame as well by my estimation, also one of his solidly lesser achievements of the age, and the sales from the book's first era reflect it. Arguably there was more potential in "X-Men" for the sort of histrionics that Claremont would invest in it, since any kid could imagine turning into a…

Pass.

I'm one of the biggest diggers for Kirby gold on here. And I'd still rank the Inhumans as one of Jack's lesser-to-least creations, a sort of proto-New Gods interesting mainly for how his other work outclassed them. The origin is kind of interesting, with the Kree as funky ancient genetic engineers, but that's about it.

Terrible look on all the stills from this show. I thought TV animation got a lot better from when I was a kid… when did it start moving backwards?

I think one of the sickest things I've seen yet in 2016 is the conversion of the privacy debate into a fake debate between a government controlled by private companies and one of those private companies, which is very happy to turn over your data to that government, they just don't want the bad press of baking…

Let’s repeat that again: She has trouble revealing to her iPhone that she’s not sober.

I love "Batman '66" but it is primarily a book for nostalgic adults. There's no other reason they'd waste pixels on a nod back to the Green Hornet crossover considering how well that character's revival went over with the kids.

Pretty much every time you see a Batman cartoon on the air, you can go to your LCBS, describe the show and they'll have a tie-in all-ages book they can order for you at least, although they may not have it on the shelf. Again, they don't sell well.

I'd like to see something along the lines of "History of Violence" for superheroes.

I can honestly see the appeal but I feel like it would perhaps be the true, no-fooling-this-time death knell for that particular property.

Not especially. He's created some good things but he's also fed into a norm of impeccable laziness in TV comedy. That said, it's easy to make the argument that he and others like him are just giving viewers what they want, which I would characterize as "the momentary feeling of being clever".
