I assume this has been contradicted by at least three other explanations given at some point or another?

9 children, 4 sons. Presumably Mr. Greene meant her eldest, the future Edward VII.

I don't think "Melissa McCarthy isn't available to do Sean Spicer very frequently" is going to be a serious long term problem.

He is drinking the bourbon neat, not straight up. Also, these dudes are intolerable.

But he's not a judge, he's just a higher up in the Bad Place.

It's not clear whether Mindy and the Medium Place were real or not.

Over/under on number of Hollywood superhero movies we get before we get a cure for cancer?

Justice League has shaked things up several times, to differing effect. A lot of people would probably say the off-brand Giffen/DeMatteis version was one of the best versions, and it more or less included none of the iconic characters (Well, Batman for a while, and Martian Manhunter, the least iconic of the original…

I mean, comic book creators try to make the character "their own" all the time, with mixed results. The problem is not deviations from the books. As I think Grant Morrison demonstrated with Batman, there have actually been a ridiculous number of versions of these characters over the years.

Depends on the character. I think non-comics fans have a much better sense of Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man than they do of the Punisher or Thor.

The problem is that they're all arc, no individual stories. 12 o r 13 episodes is just too many for the amount of story they actually have to tell. All of them would be better with 6 episode seasons.

So untrue to Doyle's Holmes stories in which, um, Moriarty appears in one story, at the end of which he dies.

He makes most sense as an antagonist who isn't quite a villain, which is more or less what he was before he got his own series.

Speaking of which, I'm a bit confused by the idea that there's a single "comic book characterization" of the Punisher.

I realize this is making fun of Sons of Anarchy, but it seems like there's, um, a more obvious candidate to write about the Punisher wandering around Belfast…

Sigh…nobody got my Fantastic Four #9 reference.

I saw it ages ago (when I was in high school?) I remember it being good, but not much more

But isn't Hastings basically just a Watson rip-off?

Northam as More was a highlight of the otherwise mostly terrible The Tudors (also Natalie Dormer as Ann Boleyn, and, um…that's probably about it…Rhys Meyers probably is the worst Henry VIII in the long history of the role)

Hasn't it been pretty baked into the comics character since Claremont and Cockrum had her rising up from Jamaica Bay, with the exception of the (terrible and thankfully brief) Layton era of X-Factor?
