One of the weirdest experiences of this whole mess was when Marvel proudly unveiled the hit new Inhuman who would finally justify all of this and I clicked the link and it was Akuma from Street Fighter.

You'll hear no dispute from me there but it's probably worth something that Iron Man had an ongoing series that sold well enough to run pretty much unbroken from 1968 to the year the movie was released (with a few glory years of a parallel spin-off title) and that staying power probably had something to do with why it

Why are you focusing on Alias like that's where most readers would know Jessica Jones from? Let's put aside the dollar difference in magnitude between comics and movies nowadays and the difference in audiences and just talk about the knowledge of readers. Let's say I started reading non-Spider-Man Marvel books in

And this is why it's the joke that won't die. King couldn't settle for some vague suggestions about lost innocence, no, he's down there in the sewer with a golf pencil and a scorecard. Most of the murders in his books are less specific about who put what where and how deep it went.

And some, I assume, are good clowns.

For a second I thought this was a reply to Mike_From_Chicago's later comment and I was gonna say, no no, Stephen King really gets into the "able" aspect and its variation throughout the scene. Like a judge at a New England county fair.

Because sometimes that works and sometime's it's the worst idea in the world.

It's pretty generous to King to say that he "just" failed to find an ending to a story about the world ending.

It's making your comment not creepy right now! This very second as I read it!

Putting the gangbang before the first movie's cliffhanger? Seems like bad marketing.

Most movies, that approach would require you to cut the sex scenes. But Stephen King got this.

Like the mundane moment where the kids all cement their relationship with each other with some mundane group ahahaha no I'm not going to talk about it. I'm not. I swear I'm not.

I really want to make a comment about the casting requirements for the kids according to that one scene in the book but I won't and that proves I'm classy.

To be fair all the interdimensional monster shit was the worst part of both the book and the movie. Except for the other part of the book that maybe we shouldn't talk about.

*spins around to face you in mod 1960s villain chair* Starsky & Hutch.

This one time, at computer camp,

Climax to π, no question.

You may have missed it but they are trying to do DC Comics characters on live-action television again right now. And I mean, if you missed it, good on you, don't shake that up, you can't unsee this shit.

*shifts in canvas chair, adjusts beret and raises bullhorn* A LITTLE LESS DRAGON. LESS. NOW MORE. PERFECT

Likely by a discreet phone call from 20th Century Fox to their advertisers explaining that they were not going to pre-screen or promote the movie and they expected it to flop horribly, which it did.
