X2 is pretty awesome. God Loves, Man Kills and the Weapon X story arc differ from most X-Men comics in that they work really well as standalone stories, so combining elements of those two into one movie was a really smart approach. Using the first few movies to build up to a Dark Phoenix movie probably could have…

I think the fundamental appeal of the X-Men has always come from the long-running buildup of storylines and character arcs into an elaborate web of soapy drama, which is something that movies could never really duplicate. A TV show maybe could, but overall the comics medium is just where X-Men works best. Having…

I hope Apocalypse looks exactly as ridiculous as he does in the comics. The giant A on his belt buckle is a must. If nothing else, I'd really like to see his Jake the Dog-esque powers faithfully translated to a live action movie.

I think the best example is from The Avengers, when someone is watching footage of all the Avengers in action and it includes footage from the Captain America movie. Apparently battles during World War II were being professionally filmed in color while they were happening.

It's really reassuring to find out that I'm not the only one who keeps getting moderated whenever I try to say his name. Apparently disqus really hates people talking about that particular German X-Man.

Don't forget "The Last Boy Scout" and its brave campaign to curb gun violence on the football field.

Sounds like you've been investigating this like an aspiring Fox Mulder.

The idea that prequels can't have things at stake because we know the protagonist won't die has never really made sense to me. I don't expect Morpheus to die in the prequel, but I was equally certain he wasn't going to die ten or twenty issues into Sandman because I already knew that the story would continue longer…

I've also wondered what sort of consequences there were for Delight turning into Delirium, since I'd kind of assume that whatever function she was fulfilling when she was Delight was no longer being fulfilled.

Nancy from Nightmare on Elm Street easily takes it for me. Filling her house with deathtraps and dragging Freddy into the real world is one of the most badass things anyone has done in a slasher movie.

I'd probably put part 9 as better than average. I like how it tried to build up Jason's menace by acting as if having him back in his body would be the worst thing ever, and the possessed killers largely kept the slasher movie feel going despite how ridiculous it all was. Of course, saying that it's better than…

I'll second the love for 4. Better characters than usual, Crispin Glover, and the showdown between Jason and the final girl was a lot of fun.

The second Elm Street definitely has its moments (I found the transformation scene pretty appealingly horrifying), but I think that the majority of it is just really dull and poorly made, to the point where I found it pretty thoroughly unenjoyable. That said, it definitely deserves some credit for doing something…

The image makes it pretty clear that he went out of his way to avoid punching a lady. That's why Batman carries Bat-Female-Villain-Repellent. http://goodcomics.comicbook…

I kinda thought Freddy vs. Jason was about a thousand times better than it had any right to be. It made Freddy creepier than any movie since the first one with some pretty neat surreal dream sequences, and it captured the appeal of Jason with his indestructible rampage. So my list would probably be:

Yeah, it occurred to me that the crucifixion line might not have stuck out that much for everyone. I should have been more clear about it.

I'm referring to a statement he made in the second episode: “Crucifixion has such a bad reputation, but the Romans used it to punish people who acted against the public good.”

That too! This show has layers.

The moral of this story is that anyone who suggests that crucifixion is underrated is probably a horrible person. That was a pretty severely messed up thing for someone to say if he wasn't going to turn out to be totally evil.

That might be the first time I've seen Mark Millar associated with the word "tasteful."
