As someone who gave up on the comic about 2/3rds of the way through—which I have never done with any other series with a definite end, even ones that got stale—I can reassure you that this series is much better than the source material. There’s still a ton of gore, but the writing is much more deft and Butcher is much…

I fully agree with you on the comic. It was lousy.

I’ve found myself really torn recently on if I should finally give the Boys a chance. The central issue is that I have actually read the comic from start to the end and just kind of hated it with a passion. It is Garth Ennis’s tendencies at his worst, even knowing there is technically worse stuff from him, but that…

Absolutely. His run of comics with the character was absolutely brilliant.

Ironically, a corpse.

This news reminds me we don’t have Darwyn Cooke around any more to make more comic adaptations of the Parker books and it makes me a little sad.

Farewell Dowd. You and basically everyone working at this site were so much better than J/O Media deserved.

It’s the only show that embraces the bat-shit craziness of comic books (with nothing off limits, too wild or nonsensical) whilst retaining the boundless optimism, colour, and fun of classic comics ... but amping it up with a meaty shot of the diversity they historically lacked.

I was bummed out when Arrow decided to take its final bow.

He’s a winning comic actor.  He’s not cast in comic parts often but he shines in them. “I will not eat one iota of shit!”

“folks”. No woman is doing this. No non-binary person is doing this. These are men. Men in their 30s and 40s most likely. 

“I mean, I guess he could argue that the big dumb boilerplate movies are taking away funding/audiences/box office from more thoughtful movies...”

You’re parsing Coppola’s comment as though he’s a rando on a comment thread.

Yeah - hard agree with FFC here, but it’s so easy just to not see movies you don’t think you’ll like. And leave it at that.

I mean, there was a brief moment where I assumed Poe’s mutiny (leading to deaths of thousands) might have some consequences for him, but then they patted him on the head, so I guess I didn’t know what was going to happen either.

I feel like the trailers, when they come out, should feature a disclaimer:

At this point, just about the last thing any Star Trek or Star Wars fan wants to hear is: more JJ Abrams.

Not sure about this one- at this point, JJ Abrams is the sad trombone of movie franchise announcements

I know what most Trekkies think of the Kelvin movies. I personally felt the first one was a bloated origin tale and the second one a big mess of disasterporn built around Cumberbatch as not-Khan. But Simon Pegg and Doug Jung righted the ship again with Beyond, which didn’t have any lofty ambitions besides just being…

Trust me, this is by no means “bad” Anderson.
