Very much this, there’s also the loss of goodwill that would undoubtably crop up if suddenly Marvel started handing out cease and desist letters to every cosplayer at comicon.  They’ve got a good thing going right now with the free advertising and keeping their IP fresh in the market.  However if there’s money to be…

The real distinction is how they are presented to the public.

You cannot copyright “clothing”, the parts that make up a costume, however specific aspects OF a costume can be copyrightable.

I’m a professional photographer, and while I would not consider myself the foremost authority on copyrighted characters as it influences the photography community, I am pretty well briefed on a lot of this.

Dihydrogen Oxide will give you cancer and increases your chances of heart disease. It’s found in 99% of all cancer tumors, and in 100% of all hear disease sufferers have found large amounts of it in their bloodstream. Cannot recommend avoiding it enough, unfortunately, nearly 90% of all packaged foods contain it in…

He does have both you know.

Will attest to this. You haven’t lived until you’ve heard “Good Night, But Not Goodbye” with full surround and a good sub to really drive home Bea Arthurs baritone.

The first Fast & Furious movie was a must watch back in my soundhound days. Master & Commander likewise was a must have for listening in a well set up room.

I love XII, but one thing that always bothered me about it is it feels like only part of a story.  For me, it’s like being introduced to Game Of Thrones right in the middle of the third book.  They do a great job of explaining the characters, but I KNOW there’s more story before, and after what we’re witnessing, and…

To me X is the most emotionally invested I felt in a FF game.  Something about the story line, the plot twist, and that ending just get me every time.

If you want something that feels incredibly epic (so epic that it feels like you’ve missed the first third, and last third of some multi-novel series) look into XII.

It really depends. If you want a very traditional take on the RPG, IX.

I really like that idea.  Have a Superman like character, however how he handles situations is one long story mode. Basically, since he’s incredibly overpowered, stopping a robbery can be an extremely life threatening situation...for the robbers. Superman COULD essentially burn them to death while leveling a city…

It’s unfortunate that a United Planets are so easly disrupted. Maybe they need a more centeralized ruling organization. Perhaps some sort of Federation could be set up to smooth things out and unify them?

To be fair, anyone and Poe worked well together...because Oscar Fucking Issacs could have a scene with a pile of dirt and still have chemestry.

He had chemestry with a characters that’s nothing but a SOCCER ball, with a tennis ball on top of it for chrissakes.

Keep in mind, any part that has more then 30 seconds of screen time and 2 lines of dialog would account for “a larger part” for Rose.

Not pictured: The severed bugs bunny head with a reminder who he’s actually working for.

I didn’t say he was irish. I said he was the was the Drunken Irishman’s Frank Miller. I’m not claiming Ennish is Irish then I am Mark Miller is a thinking man.

Garth Ennis made his career on writing complex interesting characters set against decent story telling and rape jokes. But mostly rape jokes.

And give up the Badman family name?  What would Dr. Mr. Badman Sr. say?

I don’t know. His 8-12 issues of the Authority were allright. I cant think of any work that hits Planetary levels, but that’s because Planetary was a nice little stroke of genius that wound up exceeding the sum of it’s parts (creating a long form narrative that incorporates all of pop culture from the western to the…
