Geralt is that you?

oh god i almost forgot this exists

Mild spoiler, but she also had a healing factor (played up, ironically enough, in the Wolverine two-parter because that was set after Wolverine had lost his) and an Inhuman character speculated that it might be a zero-sum equation between her healing ability and her shapeshifting ability (whereas previously she'd been…

I watched the second Superman movie with my kids when they were pretty young and sensitive, they really liked the movie up until Superman gets out of the crystal that is supposed to take away his powers.

There is a special corner of hell reserved for whoever is responsible for commercials that are longer than the actual videos.

I really feel we're lacking a trailer for this trailer about a trailer.
