This is also a good example of why “Just shoot them in the leg” doesn’t work. Your thigh is the home of a major artery, and shots there are often at least as dangerous as some torso wounds.

OK, When Rey’s saber is tangled up in the chain sword, why doesn’t she just turn it off and then back on again?

I’m a little confused by the timeline of this show. He gave up being black lightning 9 years ago. He’s been the principal of the school for 7 years. Yet, LaLa, and the mother who was murdered were both students of his? Was he a teacher back during his previous hero stint? It would make sense, but I don’t remember it…

Good point. Should I buy 5 comic books a month or pay for my Netflix subscription?

Anyone remember “The Man from Atlantis” with Patrick Duffy?

It’s hard to have patience when a book from a top tier publisher sells less than some independent books. At the end of the day books live or die on their sales.

You want the honest answer? You just write good stories. You don’t write stories about a character’s blackness or gayness or transgenderness or whateverness. Avery Brooks of DS9 made this point remarkably when he was asked about playing a black captain on Star Trek. He said he wasn’t there to play a BLACK captain. He…

Too bad they couldn’t bring the movie to life. Amirite? *Rimshot*

If you’re looking for a very interesting take on this theme I would recommend “Lord of Light” by Roger Zelazny.

Man, I loved the original comic. I was SO afraid they would TMNT it up when they did the animated series. Then I saw the first episode and all my fears were put to rest. I’m glad to see this show is following in the grand tradition.

Truly? Source? Thanks!

It’s clear from some of the comments characters make that this world is not the same world shared by the MCU and (to some extent) the MTU. For Example, there was never a President Obama, or a President Trump in the MCU, but they are referenced in Runaways. It’s a shame that there are no crossover possibilities, but…

SPOON!

*Holds up a branch* We’re a hedge. Please move along.

Ah, The Tragedy of the Commons rears its ugly head once again. Go (away) Socialism!

I like the costume overall. Yeah, the little lightning parts (Actually, I think they might be seismic waves) look like a tacked on afterthought. What really bothers me is the mask. The design of it, with the heavy “V” shaped grey area in the middle makes it look like it’s sitting too low on her face, and that it would…

YES!

Wait, he’s allowed to identify as ANYTHING he wants. Those are the new rules. If Rachel Dolezal can identify as Black, and Elizabeth Warren gets to be Native American, and other people are allowed to be gender fluid, then this poor person is allowed to be a lesbian Japanese woman, damn it! (Wait, what? He’s not…

But, does anyone remember Zathura?

Yeah. Plus, the site keeps asking me to shut off my add blocker. I would happily do this if the adds weren’t so invasive that they often cause my browser to crash. I09, you’re the REASON I installed an add blocker in the first place. Fix your sh**, and I’ll gladly put up with your adds.
