In a lot of ways Carol is a weird character to choose to be the
female face of Marvel. I wonder how they will address the fact that
she's been raped twice (she was mentally dominated and forced to give
birth to her rapist , and her powers and mind were "permanently" removed
by Rogue for most of her history).

Maybe he cant interact with world when he is moving too fast.
Or maybe he is just imposing some limit on himself that he will overcome conveniently the last episode of the season.

it sounds like Night Nurse will tie into Luke Cage's story as well as DD's. Maybe she is a connective tissue between all the miniseries.

Translation: Waah! Someone doesn't agree with me!

To be fair, Black Panther has made New York his home several times, including a stint as a replacement of sorts for Daredevil. He also never said BP was from New York- he's offering his "grit" as a reason why he could be BP.

I don't see Head Six as being a justification of Starbucks: i see Starbucks being a totally different phenomenon- more Messiah-like. The fact that Head Six and Baltar exist as messengers/angels opens the floodgates, especially since their master doesn't like to be called "god"- maybe he is one of several higher beings

Not to be a dick, but it sounds like BGS was never the show you wanted it to be.It is much more about terrorism and resolving crises of of faith in a post-9/11 world than it has ever been about the cool sci-fi trappings. I'd argue that Star Wars is much in the same vein- it is much more about the hero's journey and

Except for the part where "god", gods and angels have been a part of BSG since the beginning.

The show never really used Superman or Martian Manhunter properly, IMO, while Batman was given way to many "bad-ass" loner moments where he gets to outshine everybody else.

Dont buy it. The play off "keeping it 100" makes a lot more sense to me- like he REALLY keeps it real and fits better with the rest of the verse/the point of the song.

There are no Romans in 300- that's the problem.

Death Proof is a sexploitation film, which by necessity has elements of horror, especially slasher films since they are about the domination and then masculinization of women. I guess the key difference is the direct focus on sex in sexploitation films in the form of rape, as opposed to the implied rape with the use

Zaheer had little hope of beating a a fully-functional Korra not in the avatar state. He was just good enough to hang with Tenzin, who would have eventually beat him.

-Other than the grind house esthetic, all his movies are very different.

"But I'd argue that there's a certain protectiveness that I doubt Sue would have if Johnny weren't her little brother. The four of them are a family no matter what, but Johnny and Sue have a bond that is unique within this family unit"

So if Sue was four or five when her family adopted Johnny, black or otherwise, and he's been nothing but her brother well into her mid-to-late 20's, your suggesting she'd have no deep familial ties with him?

Where did you get the idea that Psylocke was repressed pre- transformation- she was a model/jetsetter and she wanted to take her brother's place as Captain Britain.
Her whole thing while in the X-Men pre-transformation is that she was an action junkie and she wanted to be in the thick of every fight, whereas with her

While her original costume was silk/lace number, Psylocke's second major costume changed had her in armor.

Even with the origins there are a lot of details that have changed. Was Joe Chill captured or is he the one bad guy Bats never caught?What blew up Krypton?

There's no need to be dick.
No matter what Lin's point of view, SHE is the one who let the actions of another person freeze her into a what she is. Everyone else involved has moved on.
