Is it bad that I read that panel dialogue as “Rick’s groin”?

Are you seriously saying that Jackman is the only man out of hundreds of millions of white dudes on Earth who matches up well with Wolverine? I bet if you scoured the unknowns out there you’d find dozens or even hundreds of good candidates. Going beyond that, neither Singer nor any of the former cast (with the…

Technophobes and Luddites SHOULD be teased. They have no excuse for their ignorant hostility.

Remember the story of the Phoenix? The original Dark Phoenix story from X-Men. The core message there was that the difference between a person and a monster is a monster doesn’t care, while a person wants to do and be better. To become better. They resist the darker impulses they have and work to improve. The fact…

It’s been said that in the darkest moment when someone is ready to go through with it, any disruption on the path can make it difficult to go back to later. Saving someone in the short term can actually make a real difference long term too. If you get pulled back from the edge, however it happens, it just might lead…

I know the arguments for why representation matters, but I don’t think it -should- matter, at least not nearly to the extent it does. I mean yes, I get it, sharing characteristics with a character might be a window for identification with them. And demonstrating characters from classes of people who have been…

No offense intended, but Kotaku isn’t the proper place for this. Kotaku is for video games specifically, not comics. Stories related to comics belong on the io9 site, where comics and other geek / nerd media are covered. This should probably be moved there where it is on-topic. This is not a criticism or in any way a…

All your nucleobase are belong to us.

“If every game company went down the path of designing their games to milk money out of consumers instead of designing around fun, people would stop buying games.”

That’s why regulation is NOT necessary. Those companies who are too short-sighted to survive will fail and others will step up to replace them. If they’re…

Sorry if that came across harshly, it was meant more teasingly than aggressively. Thank you for acknowledging the point and changing the article! I didn’t expect that, really above and beyond response. It’s very appreciated.

There are plenty. Mutants with serious power are a fraction of the total population of mutants, more by far have minor powers at best or maybe even no power at all just some odd trait like swirly rainbow colored glowing eyes, a third breast, horns on their head, a tail, scales for skin, whatever. Those are the lucky…

Because Kung Fu Master was a platform game with a completely different play style. Double Dragon originated the formula that Final Fight, Streets of Rage, TMNT, and every other game of that type embodied. I played both when they were new and I never felt that Double Dragon was related to Kung Fu Master, it was fresh…

How the hell can you talk about great 2d side-scrolling brawlers without mentioning the game that started the entire genre, Double Dragon?

Matter of opinion, really. A lot of people truly love that movie, myself included. In fact it was my favorite movie I saw that year, and in a year that saw The Dark Knight and Iron Man that’s saying a lot.

I too am looking forward to the new “ANY-MAN and the WASP” movie.

Can we put the “Fermi Paradox” bullshit to rest now? We’ve got a fast-moving interstellar object passing through our solar system right now, and we can’t even get an exact read on its shape let alone get a clear picture of it. If it were a spacecraft, we wouldn’t even know! And this is for an object nearly the size of…

They do already.

If a man made such a comment regarding female characters, the line to string him up by his balls would stretch around the block. Just sayin’.

He’s right. These are decades-old characters, nobody working on them is the original creator and they are working to add to a canon, not do their own wholly original thing. Somethings can and should stay consistent, and the goal of the people making the films (or comics, games, whatever) is to make the best possible…

Another person learns the lesson that “guilty until proven innocent” is easier to go along with when it’s not you or someone you know. When you and yours are in the crosshairs of the witch burning mob, you suddenly realize that accusations believed without evidence are not justice, they are lynchings.

The only rational…
