Who cares about “established?” DC’s best superhero books are when they do something off the wall, like give a teenager the Doomsday virus and stick him in a wacky farce, or give a fat guy and an aging hippie a magic dial that turns them into superheroes, or let a former CIA operative turn the Omega Men into an

Meh; the fans wrote in and asked for Clark and Lois to get back together, so DC did what the fans wanted (it helps that Dan Jurgens had a pretty good idea to use pre-Flashpoint Supes and DC assigned Lee Weeks to the book), and it’s been a pretty good book so far.

Yup, at least some of them actually really do believe this.If you probe deep enough in this rabbit hole you’ll find people who think “the abortion industry” is engaged in a eugenics program to breed stronger, dumber non-whites who will then be used as soldiers to storm Christian communities.

Or, you know, they knew Marvel was gonna bury them with hype at CinemaCon so they’re holding off until after people go see it?

Oh, yeah, it’s the no-texting thing. It’s not the fact that your average movie ticket is now above $10 in most major markets. It’s not the fact that concessions are at ten times cost and rising. It’s not the fact that theaters overhype IMAX and Real 3D despite the fact that attendance to both is sinking.

Ahhh, teachers, the area of government where taxpayers demand the most quality for the lowest conceivable price. Watching wages skyrocket and states essentially pulling guns on their rich districts and forcing them to actually pay their share over the next ten years is gonna be hilarious.

Speaking as somebody with a lot of Southern family, seriously, that part of the country confuses “friendly” with “invasive and pushy” way, way too often. Seriously, the next time somebody asks the new neighbor about religion, thwack them on the nose.

The MOBA aspect make it a multiplayer game I’m enjoying for once. Instead of just Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture The Flag that Becomes Deathmatch Because Nobody Can Stick To A Goddamn Strategy, and Deathmatch with Objectives, you can do other things and actually be successful at them. Sneaking into enemy

Yeah, it’s a shame Marvel has to wait so long, it’s not like they have a fully established female hero with an enormously popular actress locked in who’s been in most of their movies.

Well, you know, when I think “fun times in history,” I think World War I. Chemical warfare and utter social collapse! Hi-larious!

But if everybody owes each other enough money, nobody will ever nuke each other.

My personal favorite is when the study title picks a side in some dumb debate (vegan vs. carnivore) etc. but the actual study is saying something else entirely, which almost inevitably is more interesting than yet another “SEE! SEE YOU FOOLS! MY PERSONAL CHOICES ARE OBJECTIVELY CORRECT!” study.

As a life-long pedestrian, I can respect a jogger who clears a busy sidewalk when there are no cars coming, and I hate most joggers for being sidewalk-hogging dicks. Now, the people who walk in the street with a clear sidewalk? FUCK THOSE PEOPLE.

I’d rank Boston and Miami a bit higher. Pittsburgh, Memphis, and Baltimore aren’t really that great unless you’ve lived there your entire life and have roots there.

Eh, just like Marvel is always heading back towards the status quo, DC is always in flux. Since I’ve been reading DC, they’ve killed every last member of the Justice League, redone the line about seven times, revived beloved characters, gender-swapped them, etc.

Banner even complains he’s not a therapist!

Only if we get more Agent Carter out of it.

To be honest, I’m getting kind of annoyed at “Tony has issues” as a plot device. Iron Man 3 used it well by forcing him to confront that he was using the suit as an emotional crutch, but then AOU used it (far less effectively) as a plot driver and now it looks like Tony’s issues will drive the conflict in Civil War. I

After two movies about dick billionaires having apocalyptic visions that drive them to unilaterally do stupid shit, I’m kiiiiiinda leery about seeing a third one.

Man, it says something when you can’t sort fetish videos from comedy skits. Seriously, I’m not sure if that’s a ball-crushing video or a gag.
