My fan theory about Watchmen's ending was that he created our world, based on his not seeing parallel universes yet living in a world with a different history.

It's not.

Quite nice how the versiond if the characters in Age of Apocalypse are genuinely different, without playing the 'reverting to type' card too many times.

There's a fair bit of 80s Marvel art that's a paler version of what had been their house style since the beginning of the 70s, and in *that* context the 90s style looks like a dramatic and interesting break. But from all but the best artists it got tiresome fast.

It was the 90s. Villains with powers as far-reaching and ill-defined as their shadowy agendas were very much the in thing.

Kimmy Schmidt's version of the Ninja Turtle experience still looks more fun.

"Just show the Jan Svankmajer version instead" probably wasn't all that practical, to be fair.

Putting him in Ragnarok seems like it might be a substitution for Planet Hulk — plot probably won't be at all similar, but both are Hulk in a technofantasy world of powerful aliens.

Question is, who gamma-irradiated that cookie in the first place?

The comics version generally has the Horsemen mentally altered as part of their transformation — I was assuming that was the case here at first, but it's never stated and some things don't square with it.

And the new generation this time is basically that of the original trilogy — recast and slightly rearranged in when they joined, true, but without much that suggests things will be different this time.

I think we're also at the point of seriously diminishing returns on Magneto's struggle over which side he's on.

Also the arc of several of Apocalypse's victims.

Heck, Warner Brothers cartoons have a fair few that are just footnotes now.

Great, yet another superhero movie where no-one's wearing a mask.

She was during a (long and deeply self-indulgent) retelling of the Ring of the Nibelungs that the comic featured in the late 70s

People in the timeline where Spotnitz was kept on as a showrunner are wondering what it'd be like if he had been removed.

"a mountain of stuff that aired five or six episodes once and never again."

Reviews mainly coming out when a movie is released doesn't require much suspension of disbelief….
