I was new to comics when I read it as well. <shrug> Maybe I'm just more desensitized and tend to ignore the stuff that's disgusting so I can enjoy the rest of the story.

Annihilation is one of my favorite comic book arcs. And as a male human who likes sexy female humans, I don't remember the Gamora crotch shots at all.

I did not know this existed. o.o

I think it's more surprise at a relationship that we haven't observed yet. Symbiotic and parasitic relationships in the animal kingdom are something you learn about in elementary school science class.

Um, DS9 had 2 main characters who crewed on the Enterprise. That's pretty cross over.

"Oh, and the kid still kept yelling." and "If they try beating a kid and it "works," they'll go right to that well the second the kid acts up."

You can add custom amounts to a NYC Metrocard? That's news to me! I normally just buy the unlimited ride cards though.

Good authors may be good screenwriters and filmmakers but aren't necessarily so. It's that simple lol. This matters since movies are not books and books are not movies. They have different ways to tell good stories.

You know the people making the movies and the people making commercials for movies are completely different from each other right?

Your description of Firestorm is of the original. New 52 Firestorm is two separate white and black boys that can combine in to "Fury".

Vertical videos are not art.

I loved how many times they showed Tom looking at the diagram of the tether cable. We got it, there's a tether between the ship and the fence. Then, the last time the "I got what I came for comment" out loud. Man. They must really think the audience is stupid.

And then the crossover tie in: SuperClark

This is also a list of 12 movies that aren't Transformers movies.

He still has a Japanese surname, they just changed it to a more common one.

I recommend reading the comic. It's really short (only a handful of issues) and some light fun reading.
