It’s one thing to have characters in your flawed piece of fiction point out the flaws.

It’s another to actually try and fix the flaws.

Lampshading is lazy and may feel good in the moment but at the end your plot still sucks.

Wow. That’s a pretty big Message From Fred there, Marvel. “Have you guys all noticed that you’ve turned into irredeemable assholes to the point that your fucking supervillains just need to stand around and watch you kill each other because you don’t fight us anymore?” Why, yes, yes we have. Which is why we’ve all…

I’m still enjoying the ride, but goddamn this extra $5 for the Secret Empire book is still pissing me off. Fucking events. But hey, keep blaming women and minorities for your problems, Marvel.

That would have been better. I gotta be honest I HATE Jack Nicholson’s Joker. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it.

Surprisingly Agents of shield might have been the best Super Hero TV show this year. (I still have to watch Legion)

“I know what you’re thinking: What is a place like this doing in a girl like me?”

Rachel Weisz is almost always the best thing about anything she’s in.

The 1959 Hammer Mummy with Christopher Lee is fun, too.

I love these two movies for everything mentioned in the article. On top of that, I liked the fact that the married couple actually liked each other*. Their kid and her brother were great complements.

My closest friends and I all share a love for the scene where Brendan Fraser overhand throws a wicker chair at Benny. I don’t know why, something goofy about how effortlessly he tosses it and how the Benny crumbles to the ground when hit that makes us laugh every single time.

“Today’s that day, Evie.”

Rachel Weisz acting drunk is the best part of this movie: “I....am a liBRARian.”

These two films (lets forget the third one ever existed) are my favourites. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz had the best chemistry, and they’re just plain fun.  

I dunno. I don’t think we know the whole plot yet.

Pretty much everyone who saw what she did died in the gassing of the village. Good reason for it not to be remembered. (Some of the soldiers might remember, but it’s not likely that their accounts would be taken seriously — a woman in no clothes punching tanks? Pull the other one, Larry.)

Also great:

That’s the same attitude that gets us why we can’t have women-led superhero movies. Sure there’s missteps, but surely somebody can do it one day.

I think he mostly means that it seems a little wasteful to devote all sorts of creative energy to building a bunch of interesting characters with compelling personalities and potential story arcs, then do nothing with them outside of a (online-only?) comic that very few people will read. Not that the game itself needs…

So uh, when can those of us that aren’t into multiplayer games get a really cool single player story driven game about these characters? It feels like such a shame to build up such a world and characters and just have them randomly kill each other over and over for no reason.
