Devin would've been a million times better.

I'm sorry, but no. As a kid, I could spot the fake Disney princesses from a mile away. I could spot the fake Disney characters in Times Square, too, and none of them were fat. I know I used to work at Disney World and all, but there's something called "character integrity", and they take it very seriously. It would…

Try fanfic based on your favorite shows!

Wait? WB and DC both have a super hero named Untitled? That would be almost as weird as if DC had one named Marvel.

"Our muscular oral appendages feint and spar," from a truly dreadful Mulder/Krycek slash fic back in the 90s, is still my favorite "erotic" line. I've come across plenty of contenders since then (I spent WAY too many years in slash fandom), but nothing ever quite rivaled that one for sheer awfulness.

But alternatively, the media buzz behind these two movies opening on the same day would have been unprecedented. Frankly, I was looking forward to seeing the carnage in the lobbies.

In other news, J.J. Abrams announced that Benedict Cumberbatch is absolutely, 100%, cross-his-heart-and-hope-to-die-stick-a-needle-in-his-eye, NOT playing Jar Jar Binks in Episode VII, but rather a new character named "Harrison John."

Looks like a perfect match to me!

Not long ago, people were convinced that Guardians of the Galaxy was too minor a franchise with too goofy a premise to succeed at the box office.

I'm not surprised at it's success. It's the perfect summer movie. It balances witty humor and action with real, nuanced emotion. All of the actors playing the Guardians brought real humanity to their parts but Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel even managed to bring real humanity and complexity to a talking raccoon and a…

ME was great and all but....

The more I think about it, the more I think Black Widow is strongest in a SHIELD agent ensemble. Captain Marvel is the female superhero they should go with. The should off her having a militaristic personality. You don't make Captain in the Air Force without a stick up your ass.

I agree, Serenity taken into account and everything. James Gunn didn't have to give us crazy fun space opera. He didn't have to give every character legitimate motivations based on a heartfelt backstory filtered through character flaws. He didn't have to make the movie so damned sincere and colorful. This movie…

If Guardians ends up making more than Man of Steel, this will be my reaction:

With this kind of opening Chris Pratt is set for big things. He would be the perfect guy to revive/takeover the Indiana Jones franchise. Get him in with Harrison for one and then put him in the drivers seat.

Here to eat Crow. When they announced this movie I said it would bomb. This is why I am a software developer, not a Hollywood person.

And for fun, look through archives of io9 and see the question of "Will GOTG be Marvel's first flop?"

Without hyperbole, this may possibly have been the greatest movie I have seen in my entire life.

CAPTAIN Marvel for the likes of you!
