Those wikipedia pages were clearly written by a crazy person

FrankenCastle was more fun than it had any right to be. I think the reason it works so well is that Remender didn’t change Frank’s personality one iota, he just surrounded him with a bunch of kookoo bananas monster nonsense, and it was amazing.

Meh, in the comics he’s usually going up against mob bosses and big fish, he doesn’t have time to waste on small fry (unless he stumbles upon a mugging or two, which are just a bonus for him)

I was having this argument back when the site was rolling out the reviews for The Punisher show, and without repeating myself too much, I feel like characters like this shouldn’t be sympathetic, and I’ve loved a ton of Punisher comics because they largely don’t try to argue that hes doing the right thing, or that we…

There’s nothing inherently wrong with a Death Wish remake, the issue is when you follow Michael Winner’s fascist bullshit views from the original movie that were not in the book. Ideally it would be a character study, a bleak tale of a man who can no longer function without killing people he blames for his misery, the…

There are actually now two 616 universe Steve Rogers’ in the Marvel universe, with the only real difference between them being that one’s past was changed so he joined Hydra at a young age, it’s an interesting conceit, that our Steve Rogers is faced with someone who is functionally him in every way apart from a few…

Well...The Waid/Samnee run was nice while it lasted I guess...

Per William Stout: “Dave had more artistic integrity than anyone I’ve ever known. He always marched to his own drummer whether it benefited him financially or not. He turned down many lucrative job offers—including a monthly pin-up assignment for Playboy offered by Hugh Hefner as a replacement for their regular Alberto…

Exactomundo, he had a lot of friends and was well respected (awesomely he was close friends with Bettie Page, who was his neighbor and who enjoyed a renewed public interest in her work after Stevens used her as the model for Cliff’s girlfriend Bettie in the Rocketeer) Stevens and the Rocketeer are so beloved because…

He spoke perfect English before he weaponized his body into high explosives during the events of Annihilation Conquest

Being familiar with the comic and being aware that groot is essentially immortal as long as he’s replanted, that scene had zero impact on me because I knew Rocket would just replant him like he did in the comic, it was actually what led to Groot only saying I am Groot in the comics, being replanted basically made him…

The comic had a fuckton of cheesecake shots and violence

Fuck you Disney. Dave Stevens must be spinning in his grave.

Have you actually read it? Because it’s an FF book through and through, and the solution to a problem Ben and Johnny have is going to involve them having to find Reed and Sue. If that Michael Allred run that didn’t feature any of them was an FF book or the short lived Fantastic Three after Johnny apparently died, or…

Oh, it was slow. Spawn is fucking horrible when it tries to focus on mythology or world building, which is basically the whole point of the series in it’s many forms... the animated show was just extremely violent and adult, even by the standards set by the comic book. Some might even say egregiously so. The Spawn…

Catman already was a real character, his sense of honor and sportsmanship, as well as being a fucking bad ass had already been well established in the comics, Simone just took all of that, cranked it up to eleven and ran with it, and it was glorious.

Um, as excited as I am for the Terrifics, Marvel just launched a new FF ongoing in the form of Zdarsky’s Marvel Two-in-one, which is a goofy and fun yet introspective and somber take on The Thing and Johnny Storm trying to pick up the pieces after Reed, Sue and their children apparently dying, we know they didn’t…

The Crow isn’t a super hero story, the comic barely even has a plot beyond the characters pain and systematic revenge, it’s basically just a supernatural goth take on Count of Monte Cristo. The Mask by contrast follows the traditional superhero template much more closely, and the character actually engages in some…

If you thought that Spawn movie was hard R you might want to skip the HBO animated series...

The creators approved the direction of the film, as they and the filmmakers were having difficulty translating the violence to live action while maintaining the humor, so the opted instead for a humorous take that was also violent, thereby retaining much of the same tone. A straight up adaptation would basically just…
