Blue Lanterns really aren’t that bad either, taken in moderation.

If they are attempting to tie everything in this phase together and they want a loose tie to Dr. Strange, with Dr. Strange and Captain Marvel being the two ‘foundation’ characters of this phase, I would put my money on her playing a variant of this character.

Most of the time, rejection is not a well told story.  Rejection is a tiny event in someone’s life.  And it should be.

I suspect we’ll see the more robotic version of Vision since they would have to reconstruct him without the Mind Stone, which would probably result in a Vision with less personality, whose major arc would be to recover what he has lost.  There is a comic book analogue for that very storyline.

They are distinct from each other in the same way that the other eras are. They just aren’t far enough in the rear view for us to differentiate them yet. If you’d asked someone in the year 2000 whether there was a huge difference between the sitcoms of the 80's and those of the 90's, they’d probably tell you no, even…

Not really. The distribution system for comic books is singularly designed to prevent an influx of new customers. When I was 5-9 years old, a kid could find comics in convenience stores, supermarkets, etc... in other words, places where the foot traffic of their parents would naturally lead them. Today comic books are…

There are a few theaters open in Charlotte.

That’s always a problem with casting James Marsden as anything. Even though the guy is 47 (!) and they actually cast that relationship age-appropriate to the book, Marsden looks like he’s about 28 years old, which completely ruins the attempt to cast him as a 45-50 year old man.

I think they’ve tried to give Harold the most depth out of any of the characters in the cast, but even having done that, they’ve still almost completely missed the boat with him. They’ve gone so far in the direction of making him a pathetic loser that they’ve stripped away the things that made him very dangerous in…

In the book, anal sex was on the table and acted upon and Nadine herself grew sort of frustrated with the situation in her inner monologue, wondering what was so special about vaginal sex in comparison to all of the other degrading things she was allowing to happen to herself.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I think she probably has good reason and everything she’s saying is probably true and also that WW84 gave her ‘fuck you’ money to be able to say whatever she was going to say in interviews.  But I also tend to know Hollywood types and typically if you’ve been out in the wilderness for 14 years…

Her version seems, at best, a little self-serving and not very accurate. She directed Monster in 2002. It was released in 2003. Her next film was Wonder Woman and it wasn’t released until 14 years later. She had occasional stints as a television director, but the notion that everyone wanted her after Monster seems…

My opinion may be in the minority here, but I don’t think Patty Jenkins is a particularly good director of superhero movies.  I don’t think she really has an instinctive understanding of the nature of the one-on-one conflict that really drives most good superhero stories.  This isn’t to say she’s not a good director.…

That sentence was meant to be: “She can also fly, like a lot of other DC bricks, but she is limited by her lack of ranged attacks.”

Wonder Woman is basically the classic brick archetype combined with a higher degree of combat training than most DC bricks have and a couple of useful tools - chiefly the lasso and the bracelets - at her disposal. The lasso is not nearly the wondrous magical item that WW84 turned it into, but different writers have…

This was actually one of the biggest problems I had with WW84. Diana is strangely depicted as kind of a terrible person in several respects throughout and, far from her suffering consequences for it, the movie never even seems to acknowledge it or to barely even notice it.

Yeah, they cite Picard as a success, but imo, Data looked extremely creepy in Picard.

Because it’s a distinction without a difference really.  If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s usually a duck, even if it has left the Order of Ducks.

I think the reason that at least some people expected better was because by the time The Phantom Menace dropped, Timothy Zahn had written 5 Star Trek novels, thus proving this material could be elevated beyond what Lucas did.  Don’t get me wrong.  None of Zahn’s books were ever going to win the American Book Award or…

I imagine most of the mail-in ballots favor Biden because Trump spent months telling his supporters not to use mail-in ballots.
