The directors cut isn’t what I would consider a failure at all.

It’s horror X-men, that’s the pitch, that’s how you sell it, for some reason the studio heads who ripped the movie away from Barker and re-edited it felt the need to make it more of a dumb as shit slasher movie.

Since it’s Clive Barker I’m assuming “meat” is both figurative and literal?

I am so fucking angry about the cliffhanger ending, because it is a legitimately great set-up for a sequel and left me wanting more, and I know that sequel is never coming goddammit!

You really really need to see the directors cuts of both films, they are wonderfully idiosyncratic genre mash-ups that for whatever reason studio executives thought could be “fixed” by focusing on just the horror elements. The cuts Barker intended turn Nightbreed into a sort of fucked up, “Hellraiser meets the X-men”…

Sounds about right: “Mr. Fish was once an ordinary human being, a petty crook named Mortimer George Norris who stumbled upon some stolen radioactive material while on a job. The exposure made him dizzy and caused him to fall into the East River. When he emerged, he had been mutated into an amphibious fish-man with…

And that seals the deal for me watching this season as soon as possible, I skipped season 2 of Jessica Jones (Don’t find the character interesting) and was on the fence for Cage season 2, but if Mister Fish makes an appearance then I’m in.

Let me rock you Sharukh Khan?

All of the increasingly specific descriptions is just reminding me of the future time police characters from Garth Ennis' Midnighter arc, who come from a future where none of that stuff matters and everyone just loves whoever they want. I feel like that's eventually where this is going to be headed, as eventually…

How is he a year younger than me?!

A wizard did it

So...basically like every other Dave Franco role?

I’ve heard good things

The original comic by Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee that played like a psychological thriller and metaphor for mental illness mixed with superheroes was brilliant. It boils my blood knowing that all people seem to know the character from was the execrable work Bendis did with him.

Or Fear Agent, the superior Tony Moore co-creation from the same period.

Maybe this will inspire somebody to realize that a Transmetropolitan animated series is finally worth making, with Tim Roth (Ellis and Robertson’s preferred casting choice) as Spider Jerusalem.

You’d think but well, there’s some seriously fucked up stuff in anime and that’s on all the major streaming services too and we never hear about that being a problem.

The best part of that bit was Luke Cage angrily responding “Black Man?!”
