Has he made a great car chase? I can’t think of one.

Flicking through this new volume because I have it to hand, the Catherine section is all “waifu” (understandable, given the game in question), but that’s only ~20 pages, and the rest seems fairly even.

I’m not normally one for art books, but I have both of these and the Persona 3 and Persona 4 books. Soejima (and team)’s work is just gorgeous.

Which forgets that the show arguably hit its strongest period in seasons 5 and 6, much of which were post-Martin. Or that A Feast For Crows and (to a slightly lesser extent) A Dance With Dragons weren’t even close to being as well received as the earlier books, so it’s not like Martin’s source material was infallible.

If Tarantino’s going all in on alternate cuts now, does that mean we might finally get a proper release of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair? It’s been sat on a shelf for at least 8 years already.

This is a bad take. The show is telling a new story, set decades down the line with a mostly new cast of characters, in a different medium. If you can’t follow it without having read the graphic novel, that’s a huge failing on the show’s part.

I’ve found it fascinating listening to Chris McQuarrie talk about how invaluable he finds them (he’s done several hours-long podcast discussions with Empire that are well worth tracking down if you’re at all interested in how the last couple Mission: Impossibles came together). The trick is, much like Scorcese suggests…

Except no one is praising Captain Marvel to the heavens here. Alliterator only offered spite as a reason to make more, that’s hardly a glowing endorsement.

Either you’re a misogynist or alliterator wasn’t talking about you. Your opinion of Captain Marvel is not a factor.

Screen time has nothing to do with it though. Their worth was being judged on how many eyeballs they were thought to bring to the show compared to how much money they were asking for. And despite your insistence that they had comparable careers, Smith was significantly more prominent. It’s not A-list or bust, there…

Yeah, I loved the character in the comics when Rucka was writing her, and to a slightly lesser extent under Blackman and Williams (it was still soooooo pretty though, at least when Williams was on art duties). I haven’t read anything since those two walked away.

Depends on how you’re judging A-list. In the UK at least, Smith was a household name and Foy was not. In terms of prominence, one Doctor Who is worth a half-a-dozen Little Dorrits and several Wolf Halls. Also, Smith’s period as The Doctor was one where the show’s international profile shot up. It may never have…

There’s a collection of the whole thing due in December. Digital copies are available from Comixology. And it’s worth taking a punt at your local comic store, Marvel have been churning out reprints, so you may be surprised and find they have (or can order in) copies of the all the issues.

True, but they didn’t rewrite it, it was just an after-the-fact re-editing. And Suicide Squad’s logic holes didn’t feel like they were the result of missing connective tissue.

Nah, it’ll probably just posit a timeline where Rasputin’s machinations would’ve decisively swung the war against the Allied Forces, if not for the actions of the Kingsmen.

I think they’ve just been increasingly working separately on their own stuff. Lilly “took a break” after the first season of Sense8 and wasn’t directly involved in the remainder of that show. She’s apparently now working on a Showtime series called Work in Progress.

They’ve got the directing down too. Their weaknesses show up in the writing — translating their (usually good) ideas into a compelling and coherent narrative.

Says who? The referendum didn’t make that specification:
37% voted to leave the EU (deal or lack thereof unspecified).
35% voted to stay in the EU.
28% abstained.

here comes his fiction debut

#24-39 is the Warren Ellis run which they put out a collection of a few years back. They presumably produced the digital versions at the same time. #14 was part of a crossover that got collected with Spider-Man 2099, so the same thing happened there.
