Hey, I never said I was in favor of Pete tooling around in a borrowed Stark suit, either!

I have to think of "solo Batman" and "Justice League Batman" as two separate and distinct characters, because the only way Bruce Wayne could carry any weight whatsoever on the League is if he were some unstoppable ubermensch-ian demigod, as he was in Grant Morrison's JLA. So why would someone competent enough to disman…

She's ended up on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. more than literally any other MCU movie character, aside from Coulson himself. Which somehow feels like the biggest slap in the face they could have given her, considering how the movie people regard that show.

I'd say the difference between film and digital is like the difference between wine and grape juice.

Oh, it doesn't count if it's the VILLAIN'S girlfriend…

Okay, why did no one tell me that James Cromwell was such a cool guy? I mean, you don't often see this kind of "f#@% the Man!" rebelliousness in a 77 year old.

Well, it was definitely a case of diminishing returns. The first Morlun story was amazing, I really dug the Shathra story, and the Doc Ock three-parter was a TON of fun… but the longer it went and the more frequently it hit those uber-dramatic beats, the less effective it became.

Which is why Dan Slott's "let's make Peter a respected tech genius and a billionaire industrialist!" run on Amazing Spider-Man just holds zero interest for me.

True… but that moment is actually completely incidental to the main plot. It's clear that the Aunt May subplot was written into the movie to give it SOME gravitas, but it's not the main thrust of the movie and it doesn't dominate the tone of the film at all.

Well, that's what the supervillain plots are there for: to provide a heightened counterpoint to whatever personal dilemma Pete is dealing with in a particular story. And to provide spectacle and action sequences.

I'm just thankful that this is the first Spider-Man movie in years to realize that Peter's story doesn't ALWAYS have to be poignantly tragic. Yes, some of the best Spidey stories deal with him losing people… but the OTHER great ones are usually about him trying to make his rent while he has a cold, or where he ends up…

Apparently Michael Giacchino actually worked it into the goddamn score this time, the same way he did with the classic '60s Star Trek theme in Star Trek.

I swear to god, one of the most heart-wrenching but subtle images in the movie for me is that one kid holding a Wolverine action figure during Laura's eulogy. THAT is a perfect illustration of your point in a nutshell: Logan is dead, but that kid will always have Wolverine to hold on to.

Uh huh.

Can we just get a Wonder Woman solo trilogy? Just ignore the "Wayne Enterprises" reference at the beginning and tell self-contained stories about Diana, dammit!

That mischievous little smirk after the bank robber tries to shoot him in the eyeball is one of my favorite moments in a Superman movie.

No one explicitly said anything about the terraformer creating Kryptonite, sure… but it's the most logical conclusion to come to, based on what we're told in Man of Steel.

Reeve is absolutely the best Superman there ever was, and I doubt that's EVER going to change… but I still feel like, given a chance in a second Man of Steel movie (written and directed by people who actually understand the character), Henry Cavill could definitely be a worthy successor.

The only problem with Dr. Doom is that he is so ostentatious of a character that it would be next to impossible to translate him accurately into live action without an extremely stylized movie surrounding him. I mean, there are theatrical bad guys, and then there are megalomaniacal armored supergenius dictators who lit…

So about this Joss Whedon Wonder Woman draft…
