Slater lobbing that apple and Orton "catching" it was hellfire.

I loved it, too, but I also completely understand why someone would hate it.

I agree. I LOVE Starscream, but seriously, fool me once…

Shockwave is awesome, and we shouldn't punish him for having writers less brilliant than him.

I'm leaning towards Digital Style; taking something you already recognize, and putting it in slightly different clothes.

I was going to make an argument that subversive art like this can often alienate the very people one is trying to reach, but then I realized I was arguing for the artist to water down the message to reach more people, making me part of the problem.

I think Millar's contributions to the Marvel Cinematic films is widely overstated. We got the redesigns for Nick Fury and 40's Cap from the Ultimates, and that's mostly Bryan Hitch.

"I wonder if there's a room without 400 lights that we could talk in."

The first time he does that, he knocks off his hat, and looks over his shoulder to see what's going on.

Johnny Blaze can occupy the same place as Hank Pym; a hero from an earlier, more secretive age that they can retroactively reveal whenever they want.

It's a thorax?

"Unpleasant, but fun"

Is there a practical or aesthetic reason the costume has so much… texture? The comic/cartoons basically designed him as a body-building eraser, and the sleekness of the Warburton costume was one of my favorite things about that series.

The "no touching rule" is such a great idea. KO can goad Sami over and over, only to fall back to a George Bluth-style "NO TOUCHING!"

Honestly, the Obama press conference disturbed me. "Yeah, we made the president say that. Remember this moment every time you watch video footage for the rest of your life."

25!

Goats go to Hell.

New characters that aren't tied to existing "franchises" don't sell enough. Marvel will occasionally make an attempt in good faith to create new, diverse heroes (Avengers Academy, Runaways) but eventually the book sales will drop below the point of no return.

One of my favorite moments in storytelling. "How would a really stoned guy who's been hanging out with engineers all day solve this problem?"
