I concur.

It’s also very much in the James Gunn superhero-style (see: Super’s costumes). People who dress up as superheroes are kind of ridiculous and this is an action comedy so it works for me.

Agreed. There’s a LOT of comic history covering just about every genre and every possible tone, it’s dumb just to do the SAME THING over and over again. Batman is great, and all, but it’s dumb to make EVERY comic book character into Batman.

I think it boils down to a difference in corporate cultures. Marvel is all about the universe. That’s the selling point for the franchise. Warner Bros. never seemed to quite get the concept, and they rushed so hard into trying to create an MCU-like cinematic universe that it backfired on them. There’s no doubt that

I’m still hoping we might get some iteration of Kite Man in a mainstream movie someday.  I wouldn’t care if he was a supporting role, or a 5 second cameo, all I need is a “Kite man, hell yeah!” and I can die happy.

Considering that Mystery Men was a good movie, I don’t see the problem with this. Guardians of the Galaxy had a very similar ‘homemade’ vibe in regards to it’s presentation, and that movie went over huge.

Not gonna matter much when they're gonna course correct with Flashpoint

As a former Boerum Hill and Park Slope resident, I applaud this name. Say hello to Brooke Lynn Hytes and Murray Hill.

Mine is Vavavoom Indaroom.

Honestly, I don't know how people thought that TFA could have led to any other version of Luke. People don't hide themselves in the most secluded place they can find because they are eager to fight.

Sure, it’s about character popularity, but Peter Parker doesn’t exactly invite Eddie Brock to live with him and teach classes at a school he started. The X-Men are like “yes guy named APOCALYPSE, whose attempted to end the world (and succeeded in several time lines), come hang out on our living island.... yes, a

They should do a walking dead prequel. Set it in New York, 20 years before the outbreak. It could follow a group of people who investigate sex crimes as part of an elite squad called the Special Victims Unit.

You may want to read an arc or two before watching this - it is a sweet story punctuated by some shocking and graphic violence.

That looks... really solid. Cast seems great, animation is solid, good word on how the adaptation is going to go. I’m weirdly hype!

It helps if you’re willing to read SF historiographically — it’s never supposed to be about the “real” future, but the future as it was imagined in the ‘40s, ‘50s, ‘80s, ‘90s, etc. This is why I always get pissed off whenever someone tries to talk about how so-and-so failed to “predict” the future. They were always

Look, Dune really, super, actually can be dry, dense, and dead to one person and a masterpiece to another. It’s always been divisive and FH’s prose really can be tedious at times even if the ideas are fantastic. Smart people think this!

What I read was an actress who, while she admits she couldn’t get into the novel, was nonetheless eager and curious to understand what it was about and why it is considered so special. Since the novel itself didn’t work for her, she went to the extra mile of seeking knowledge from outside sources, including fan pages

it helps to understand that women are human and complicated, and so rather than existing in a binary capable/incapable they in fact have various preferences, tendencies, and tastes that might make it more or less difficult to get into a byzantine narrative about family, religion, politics, etc in a complex, contrived

You’re the second person (at least!) ‘round these parts to critique Rebecca Ferguson’s opinion on Dune, the novel, and I say this without trying to sound critical: I think maybe you should give her some slack.
