It’s pretty good. The story is interesting, and is (at least) apparently focused on moving Banner’s character(s) in a new direction.

The weirdest part, for me, is that she has more agency in a comic book from 1980 than she has in this 2019 film. This movie is essentially, “Oh no! This woman can’t control her emotions!” It’s very cringey. >_<

a) Faith Herbert aka Zephyr is not-supermodel female super hero, and her series is a pretty good read:

Dark Phoenix is this year’s Solo for me. I’m going to actively avoid watching it until I’m trapped on a plane and it’s playing or something.

I haven’t read the books, but my wife and I tried watching that Outlander show and it’s just short of chugging along pretty tolerably and then all of a sudden it turns the rape dial up to 11 about half way through the first season and we had to stop. In any case, I’ve got to agree with Sauron here.

This is why it’s best to just kidnap your heroes and keep them locked in your basement. After a couple of weeks of them stewing in their own shit they don’t look nearly as impressive and you can really relax and just be yourself around them.

I’m genuinely curious where you feel like Immortal Hulk falls into your take. On the one hand, there are massive amounts of extremely deep cuts into Hulk lore in the books. On the other hand, it also feels like a new take on the character that’s driving it in a new direction.

It is, while pandering to the wiki-reading…

Moot points, like technical correctness, are the best kind of points.

I’m pretty sure if you bust ghost Jesus Armageddon can’t happen so bust that asshole, it’ll make you feel good.

Doomsday Clock just reads like bad Watchmen fanfic to me.

Operation White Blast From Above

I’m not a Warriors fan, but this -is- clearly a conspiracy. Do you really think it’s coincidence that the same season The Warriors hire a Canadian sports medicine head that all of a sudden their best superstar can’t get medically cleared to play against a Canadian team? This is clearly the work of the Canadian…

It’s very telling that the same season the warrior replaced the head of their medical staff with A CANADIAN!!!! that all of a sudden their players are all injured and their biggest superstar isn’t getting medically cleared against A CANADIAN team.

Don’t worry, now you can! How? With my mail-order “Learn to Write Like Ray Ratto From Your Home” series of at-home educational materials. Eager participants will receive a one-of-a-kind picture of Ratto signed by me! Just send 6 easy payments of 39.99 to PO Box...

Tolkien’s optimism is that there are outside forces that will work to save humanity, not that humanity has the capacity to save itself.

If Tolkien wrote like Martin the LOTR would be 18 books long.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that A&E biography I watched on him was 20 years ago. I imagine he’d put a much better spin on it now.

“subverting classic Tolkien-esque narratives with a more cynical take on human nature.”

I don’t know about that, Tolkien had a pretty cynical take on human nature.

What? No way!?

Looks like someone doesn’t religiously read all of Laserface’s posts. He was very excited for the Mr. Mind appearance in Shazam.
