Flat out great. Strong writing, strong acting, great direction. Made me care and didn’t treat me like a moron. I’m so pleasantly surprised.

Boo! to your boos!
Checking IMDB, the only film or show by Goyer I can find that I think was good is Dark Knight, and he’s credited for story, not script.
Yeah, I have to chime in to say, no. No, no, no, no, no, no. NO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Applause.
Yeah, I have always hated that take becoming “reality” in the wake of DKR. Bruce Wayne is the person. Batman is a thing he feels the need to do. Pretending to be a careless playboy is also a thing he feels the need to do.
-Remember- Batman is the person- Bruce Wayne is the mask- focus on Batman.
Not even close originally. She couldn’t even hold her own in a fight against Sabretooth without help from the X-Men. The last time I read her as a character was in Remender’s Uncanny X-Force, and she was still getting—can someone help me find a less gender-offensive-but-equally-appropriate term than ‘bitchslapped’ or…
I was thinking about that. I have definitely liked him on the chibi cartoons esp. with Beast Boy, but even during his storied comic days in the Teen Titans I could take him or leave him. After that, not even a bit.
THANK YOU.
Sure, but that doesn’t mean all characters should start in the same place. Again, Danny’s experiences and development are radically different from the other characters in ways where it doesn’t actually make sense for him to be as irrational and delusional as they. Even at the beginning of the story. There are other…
I get that, and I agree about the racial/colonialist aspect, but I think there’s potential to do a take where he’s calm and self-assured and that comes from enlightenment, so that it’s actually deeper and far more interesting about a human than the surface details of demography. I’m not saying that’s what’s going to…
I have been thinking about it, and it occurs to me that if Iron Fist turns out to be the one protagonist who isn’t a self-centered, self-absorbed ass who’s unwillingness to let go of constantly torturing themselves with their emotions, posturing about it and responding dramatically and self-destructively all the time…
I never said anything about him first returning. I’m talking about him as a character in general. I started reading him as a kid a few years after he debuted, and I’ve read him off and on since.
Never mind.
Space Balls was when Mel Brooks’ stuff went from genius to crap. So bad.
The lead seemingly has no charisma nor gravitas. That was the problem.
Yow, thanks for this. I’d missed that title completely, but I’m going to track it down now.
Ah, see, I absolutely loved loathing him in Morrison’s series. I thought he was a great villain for the school, and then had to keep reminding myself that he’s sort of a villain but he’s also a mixed-up, angry-ass teen. Which made him a very enjoyable villain for me. I also liked Jason Aaron’s use of him a lot as more…
