“The Dark Knight” deserves the praise it gets because it’s a movie about post-9/11 social anxieties. It made a mint in the US for exactly that reason, and it really needs to be viewed in that context.

To be fair, Superman in this continuity has basically done nothing but be nice to people and in return he has mercilessly been shat upon by both humans and his own damn species. If my kid were dealing with that, hell yeah I’d say “Fuck ‘em with a rail.”

Well, there’s always the practical solution.

So, who wants to go in on Kickstarter to buy every ticket to Qualcomm and donate them to local Sikh temples?

It’s a PS4 exclusive? I bet this one shows up a lot faster in the US.

I like how none of these fans realize they might be the reason he decided to get the fuck out.

There is a small quest there! You can actually get the mall up and running with a charisma check. The game just does nothing with it.

I came across a random guy, and as I was approaching a radscorpion burst out of the ground. That wasn’t the best part, though, the best part was he screamed “DAMMIT, YOU AGAIN?!” There wasn’t any payoff to that, but it was funny.

From my brief time covering court proceedings I can tell you right now that in his mind, he did nothing wrong. All the victims wanted it and are lying, in his mind. He can’t believe the jury “fell for it.” All monsters feel pity, but only for themselves.

I was just razzing Ja’mie up there for pretending to be a crunchy granola hippie, but since you asked, I’d replace the coal burning electrical plants with molten salt nuclear reactors and just require cars to be EVs.

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood your comment!

You do understand that the minute you buy a car, a pollution-belching ecological disaster that loses 30% of its sticker value the minute you drive it off the lot, a vehicle that was likely assembled hundreds if not thousands of miles from where you live, that any demand that people stop buying shit and buy local rings…

Or you could just get rid of fossil fuel burning, period, and replace everything with nuclear reactors. Molten salt reactors come to mind as a useful solution. A lot cheaper with less destroyed infrastructure!

Yeah, I’m sure all the people with back, knee, hip, leg and foot injuries would love that.

So far, I like the ideas and themes better than I like the execution.

My favorite entry in the Weird Place Now game involves Cohen:

If we’re applying Occam’s Razor, and according to you Man of Steel was such a failure... why, precisely, is the director and more or less his entire production team from that movie working not just on BvS but Justice League as well? If he fucked up so bad, why’s he getting their single most popular character to play…

Gotta admit, that is pretty smart.
