Star for the truth. The original is still the hottest looking of the bunch for me, with the 2005 close on its heels. The new one looks downright tubby in comparison to its predecessors.

Dear God, that’s just Kingpin with a fez and Lennon shades but minus the cravat and stick pin.

Do you feel it’s problematic that that the author of the article you reference feels like Colleen’s culture has to be something easily and rigorously definable according to their own definition? Because I find that a combination of offensive and moronic.

The CWverse shows are almost universally attempting a very different thing than the NetlfixMCU shows. Yeah, the dialogue is crap, etc, etc- but they are aiming for adventure melodrama. In that regard they mostly succeed pretty damn well, which is why I think they get so much love. They really deliver on the elements…

I fee like Aaron has had Unworthy Thor be a bridge to future Thor, where he looks a lot more like Odin in body as well as the beard.

No, they never said that it was self-esteem. Thor never answered anything about it in this comic. He didn’t answer Bill’s question if he could have picked it up if he wanted to. It’s left more a mystery, I think. And I never figured it was the hammer’s decision. I think initially it was written as Odin’s judgment, but…

She’s really amazing and amazingly vile in this role, playing it with incredible gusto and evil. And the gender neutrality was clearly a great way to go with this character. No tv villain right now makes me angrier or gives me more chills.

Yes, this is a ludicrously long post, but considering the one-sided bullhorn delivery on Iron Fist, I feel like writing a rebuttal. Feel free to skip it. Not like you need my permission.

wrong place.

I agree with your initial point, but this is at least the second time I’ve read a piece here framed as Humans doing “a better job” than Westworld at showing robots in the real world. I don’t believe (yes, just my opinion) that Humans does a better job, because its take on ubiquitous AI as discrete personal, physical…

Yes, please go back. This sucks.

Or maybe stop needing to compare them to recommend Humans. Westworld had markedly superior writing, acting, suspense, production, action and direction, but Humans is still a good show and worthwhile on its own.

That was one of the great samurai battles. The focus, the emptiness of intention. Obi Wan had won it before they even squared off. That was the only way to do those characters justice and I have such respect for the creators for their understanding, for recognizing that Obi Wan would be compassionate and that his…

In 1892, the University of Chicago started its football program. The Maroons ended their inaugural season with a record of 7-4-2. They would go on to win two national championships and seven Big 10 championships.

two of only a few great outcomes from Lyndon B. Johnson’s otherwise fraught time in the white house

I’m more partial to Morrison/Morales Action Comics than Johns/Franks by a country mile in terms of both the writing and the art, but I’m in full agreement that the current story by Tomasi, Gleason, et al, is a blast all-around. Big props to the coloring, especially. In the digi-art era, it’s hard to tell what part…

io9, proudly proving Finn Jones’ “It’s for the fans” rationale for shit shows correct week-in, week-out in 2017.

Now I refuse to watch any future Matrix sequel that doesn’t feature that scene.

Holy shit, are people really finding ways to take offense at this? As if it’s important in the slightest bit? You actually admit that Natalie Portman was not interested in this, and a few lines later you are asserting the reality of this being behavior of Marvel’s we may or may not be able to “handle.” And it is clear…

I don’t actually understand what you saying with your sentences. I can’t go ahead unless you are actually hoping for me to make mistakes to offend you. I don’t actually want to to do that, so no.
