I think you'll find that the main problem with christianity is not belief in the bible—it's cherry-picking bits and pieces of the bible to whatever suits their needs while completely ignoring or purposefully misconstruing other parts. The history of christianity is pretty disgusting—it's always been used to control,

NORMAL CHRISTIANS UNITE! BUT NOT IN A WEIRD, CHRISTIANY WAY, YOU KNOW?

"shaky PG-13 camera"
Yeah, they should have made this piece of shit rated R!

I thought the one thing everyone agreed on with this movie was that the opening scene was awesome?

I interpreted it as him "retiring" as well, but as everyone is pointing out, that's not necessarily the case. It would have been nice for them to address it A LITTLE, though.

I still cannot fathom why Age of Ultron is being labeled as this unexpectedly bloated, uneven mess. What the fuck were you expecting? A tight thriller? The whole point of the Avengers is to cram in as many characters and action as possible. You get to see all your favorite characters hanging out and beating the shit

The farm shit was the one of the best parts of the movie. It allowed the movie to actually slow down, concentrate on the characters, remind you that they're real people.
Giving Hawkeye a family was a nice character touch—it helps him stand out from the rest of the Avengers, which was crucial since he didn't have a

Yeah, but that's been done with like every superhero ever, save for maybe Superman. It's too broad a conceit to be considered ripping it off, IMO.
Having Jim Gordon as Batman is the cool twist—not that Batman is dead. That's been done.

Since when did "Great job!" start meaning "Worst possible job"?

Unless you're talking about the show MASH.

Never forget.

I read it.
I just finished my rewatch of this season last week. This episode is…way better than I remembered. It may have to do with what we know about Desmond and Penny in hindsight. But man, the implosion of the hatch is just one of the best things the show ever did. It's the perfect culmination of the season. It

Not Superman himself being dark, but the world around him.

Michael Chiklis was perfect casting, really. I get that they wanted to go in a different direction, but it would be like if they made Spider-Man a beefy jock douche-bag. It just works completely against the character.

The artwork and layouts are legitimately wonderful. The way they do Bruce Wayne's first encounter with Edward Nigma…it's pretty damn incredible. It was a year-long arc, so some of the story threads were weaker than others, but I loved the pulpy, colorful tone with which they portrayed the majority of the story.

Will Smith was barely in the trailer. It was mostly Harley.

Superman is more of a figure or a legend than a character, for me, and he's been interpreted a lot of different ways. So I don't mind the idea of a dark Superman movie. FF, though? No.

Darkness works in stuff like Batman or Daredevil, where the darkness is built into the source material. Or hell, even Superman (who's had a lot of different tonal iterations in the comics). But Fantastic Four…just stop. That's not what the Fantastic Four are. It betrays the fundamentals of the characters and why

"How can we make a zombie movie with even worse acting than we normally accept?"
*Watches "On the Line"*
*Grins. Picks up phone. Begins to dial. Lingers. Hangs up phone. Hand slips down pants. Grins wider*

^^ this is a good call. Mad Love still holds up as being pretty incredible.
