“only Tolkien aficionados would know and care”

Which is what Colbert claims to be.

HA! can you imagine, though?

Henry to Tom: Hey, Tom, look... I need some time off, but they won’t give it to me. I hear you have a reputation during each movie...

Tom: Dude... this is the first movie since Outsiders that I didn’t get injured in. Unless you count when I opened a coke bottle for Ponyboy and I twisted my…

If I recall correctly, Serenity came out at the end of August... why isn’t that included? Why? WHY

Okay, I chill now. But really, is that why Serenity was released in an August? Because it was a low-budget sci-fi that the studios didn’t have much hope in? We all know that it kinda blew at making money, but can I blame…

All of this is fiction and none of it is practical. But if someone is going to claim to be a Star Trek expert and try to brag about it on the air, they sure as hell better be able to pronounce the characters’ names correctly. Especially in the case of Tolkien where the languages were created in detail, and the books…

Yeah, I would agree. If I created something and put it out there, I wouldn’t want it messed with. It’s part of the reason fan-fiction isn’t fun for me. Or how I’m really glad Zemeckis isn’t letting anyone touch his Back to the Future trilogy.

Can you imagine if we were still getting “Shakespeare” content this year…

Yeah, for the most part, I’ve felt the same after most things that came after Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales, in that he didn’t publish them for a reason. Like this is a guy that worked for over a decade (spread out here and there) writing Lord of the Rings. He was a bit of a perfectionist and took his time.

With…

The point is that he’s a self-proclaimed expert, and millions of viewers are not.

It’s like having two people go around claiming that they’re French language experts. One of them sounds like Phoebe in this video, and the other sounds like Joey. Which of the two would trust to teach you French?

“This is the stupidest fucking thing to get worked up about.”

“for he is wise in the ways of not being a flaming douche”

I don’t even care about his cameo... (and I know a person risks getting shunned from humanity anytime they speak anything remotely negative about Colbert... but here we go, you mentioned Colbert in Tolkien topic so I have to rant...)

... but Colbert mispronounces almost every name from Tolkien’s mythos every time he…

“It’s petty revenge against creators who have spoken out against Trump and the alt-right.”

It’s one of the stupidest mentalities that Trump supporters have. “Well, you’re not perfect either na-na-na-na-naaa-na”

But most of the time, as it appears to be the case with James Gunn, they totally missed the point. And they…

You know how in the original source material, Spider-Man was a grown up and already a full-on superhero by the time comics Civil War happened? They changed that for the MCU so that it will fit better for the Civil War movie, in the best way they could adapt it

Similarly, the Venom movie is changing its origin to fit…

but if Marvel/Disney thinks there’s money in bringing the X-Men into the MCU they’ll pay people a lot of money to come up with the best way

 He’s too busy kicking his girlfriends

“and bring back Nicholas Brendon to provide a link”

The guy who keeps getting arrested for violent actions, two of which have been for beating up against women who happened to be his girlfriend (not sure if they’re the same women) at the time, with the last one being as recent as October 2017...

... uh, no thanks.

Cast…

“What makes this a “2D Souls-like” and not a “Metroidvania””

The key gameplay mechanic that uses salt and sanctuaries is what makes it more soul-like than a metroidvania.

“DiDio: I never expected an actual wedding.”

^ That was a particularly mediocre shoulder shrug that really irritated me. It’s just such a stupid excuse/sentiment.
I enjoyed the issue as a whole, and I’m not even one of those that got mad that there wasn’t a wedding (a tad disappointed, sure). But I can at least…

“28. Wipe your ass thoroughly after taking a shit”

I can’t find it anymore, but there was a reddit or gawker (or elsewhere on the internet, I really can’t remember) thread a couple of weeks ago where a woman in the comments was talking about breaking up with a dude because she got turned off during sex due to that…

To be fair, I think that was just Titans, not Teen Titans

Agreed. I don’t want the majority of DC television series to be CW. I watched ten years of Smallville before moving on to Flash and Supergirl. And at the end of each episode, all I can think is how great it would be if all the major characters didn’t keep ending up CW-ified.

It’s okay, don’t worry! There’ll be new #1's again in six months!
