I will say, if you haven’t seen it, that the Advent Children Complete version is much more coherent, has much improved animations/renders, and the added scenes actually add some much needed backstory.

You really should. A lot of the game mechanics are actually better than in 3 and the story is actually really good. The only real let down was New Vegas in and of itself.
I think the problem comes from the fact that they set out to create a realistic Superman film when they should have just been setting out to create a serious Superman film. They also could have made Zod’s death work if the film itself had a bit more levity. There was maybe a whole handful of moments where you could…
The problem most people have isn't that Superman kills Zod, it's more about how Snyder and Goyer decided that Superman had to kill Zod. They could still have had a thrilling climax where Superman fights Zod and manages to get him into the Phantom Zone. Heck, they could have even had some tension over whether Superman…
I’ve always thought there needed to be a balance with Superman’s powers. While I’ve always thought the Grant Morrison idea of “he’s as strong as the situation requires him to be” offered a lot of interesting story possibilities, at least when he’s toned down in power level we don’t get an unending number of stories of…
I think in the case of Bruce Willis he’s just sick of the movie industry. His enthusiasm for acting seems to have gone massively downhill over the past 7 or 8 years. I think it’s because a lot of people just started casting him because he’s Bruce Willis and not because they want him to do any actual acting. Sure, he…
I’ll be passing on this. On a side note, and I’m probably going to catch flack for this, my favorite version of the Batman origin is the recent Zero Year. I even prefer it to Year One. That book, in my opinion, is a wonderful depiction of Bruce’s rise from damaged, petulant man-child into the aspirational Batman you…
I hate the way most tech looks today. Rectangles and boxes in black or white are just unappealing to me most of the time. I miss the days of incorporating a little bit of art into the design. Sure, it does not always serve practicality and might take up a little more shelf space, but I’m of the opinion that aesthetics…
You know, I agree with you on his performance as Batman. I always liked his take on Bruce Wayne, though. I liked that his version would occasionally blur the Bruce/Batman line such as the “Okay, now I’m a little worried” line from Batman Returns. His version of Batman was simultaneously stoic and slightly more…
Did you see the serials? Clooney was definitely not the worst. Not good by any stretch of the word, but definitely not the worst. I’d say third worst.
Yeah, kind of hard to judge someone’s performance based on photographs and two sentences worth of dialogue.
You mean the quirky, neurotic guy with the sense of humor? Because that’s who was at the party at the beginning of the 89 Batman.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I was hoping the New 52 was going to take everything about the characters that worked and throw out the parts that were becoming stale. I was fine with new costumes so long as they were respectful of their roots, and most of them were for the most part. But I hate the way…
O.O I must have it.
I don’t really have a question, I just wanted to say congratulations on being Tim Schafer.
Yeah, I thought the New 52 would be them taking everything that was working with the previous universe and building on that. Instead the baby went out with the bathwater.
I fully agree with you on the adaptations point with one caveat: If we ever had to “endure” another version of the Batman origin I would love for it to be an adaptation of Zero Year.
Truth be told...I’ve never been a fan of The Dark Knight Returns. I always liked the art style, and I think it has some bright spots, but for the most part I just don’t like Miller’s interpretation of Batman. I appreciate what it did in terms of renewing the general public’s respect of the character, but I think it’s…
You know, I’ve never been a fan of the idea of Luke facing off against Vader prior to Empire. I always liked the confidence that Luke has going into that first real confrontation and seeing it be completely wiped away as the fight progresses.
There’s a parallel universe where the Jim Henson Company made a Star Fox movie and it was incredible.
