It 100% does.

I’m getting the impression that Katherine agrees that this is a bad idea. That’s fine by me, maybe this twist isn’t to your liking.

I’ve written an essay about this, and will die on this hill. In bullet points:

-Nick Spencer, the writer is a nice, liberal guy who is famous for his love of plot twists. Especially ones that seem a certain way and then later when you flash back to them with new context, they mean something else. He is not a nazi, an…

I agree, most of the most vociferous critics seem to have not read the story that they’ve seemed to have mustered up a deep passion for.

How dare you malign America’s greatest hero!

The the old EU, Palpatine had a secret weapons R&D Facility in the Maw (oh boy, the Maw is a cluster of black holes, just outside of the Kessel system. Han Solo made his infamous Kessel Run by flying so close to the Maw that it warped spacetime, making the journey shorter by about three parsecs. I tell ya true! The…

Mutant Massacre is a perfect idea. The morlocks would fit nicely with the themes of the film series (and the fact that they haven’t introduced the Morlcoks, but given us six films of Charles and Erik indicates to me a lack of regard for the source material).

Agree with you on Spectre. Nostalgia makes people misremember. Same thing happened with the Ghostbusters trailer. Sure the new one doesn’t look like an Oscar winning movie, but it in the very least lives up to the lofty standard of “kids movie with a scene of Dan Akroyd getting falated by a ghost that looks like a…

Mister Sinister is a glam rock god, a demon fueled by pure HR Giger heavy metal sparkletastic Victorian-England insantiy.

This is the problem when the same group of people says two mutually exclusive things. When they were grim n’ gritty, they said that this was it, here to stay, if you don’t like it take a hike (hell, they even went through the trouble of doing a Flashpoint animated movie, and then exclusively did Nu52 related animated…

Interestingly enough, the character of Amadeus Cho was co-created by Greg Pak, who is now the main writer on the Superman family of books.

I think then, we need to distinguish between “dark” and “grimdark”.

The way I heard about this is my friend texted me with “omg can you believe this latest marvel bullshit!!?!?” and I googled it, and found this story, which pretty much covers my reaction.

*Skeptical eyebrow raise* Hey, I am on record calling Ike Perlmutter a monster the likes of which have been unseen since Nero played his fiddle. But Joss Whedon seems to have a history of finding himself in difficult positions with studios, making a product that shows a lot of promise, but ultimately fails in some big…

COUNTERPOINT. Death is cheap and the really hardcore writers come up with fates WORSE than death.

This works both ways though yeah? Death could be a cheap plot device, or it could get at a greater truth. Death in a bad slasher movie doesn’t really have much to say, besides that its fun to watch Jason rampage around a space station or whatever.

I believe in fact, that his stated aim is to misbehave.

I don’t think this is what Kirke0 was getting at but-

DID YOU KNOW that the upcoming 4th Squirrel Girl trade has the greatest title in the history of comics!?!?!?!?!?!

Volume 4: Who Run the World? (Squirrels)

I think I disagree, but it’s all a sliding scale of degrees. Like America Chavez {hailing from Earth-212, an entire planet that is covered with a Mega-New-York, America Chavez was created by a future-wizard to one day become her planet’s guardian. But when her two moms put the pressure on her, the teenage girl decides…
