No, it's that the Hellblazer/Constantine comics always emphasized that all pantheons (and their respective demonic counterparts) exist simultaneously. So yeah, there's traditional Judeo-Christian existing as advertised, but you also encounter ancient Mesopotamian demons and at one point, an Aztec death god.

He doesn't fight demons as much as he tricks them into destroying themselves. John Constantine's always been a low-level mage at best. His strengths come from is ability to manipulate others into doing his work for him.

Except they allow countries with distinct, albeit related languages and dialects to comprise an "empire" (See Indo-Pakistan, Vikingland). With those rules, China, Taiwan, and the Himalayan Autonomous Region should comprise a Chinese empire.

At the same time, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei, which all speak some version

Except the Indian peninsula isn't grayed out, it's listed as a homogenized Indo-Pakistan empire, on the excuse that the Indian dialects are intelligible to each other. How come then, is the same principle not applied in the Malay nations?

Then how come Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Brunei aren't united under a "Malay empire"?

Also, what about China?

funny how they bothered to make a Korean "empire", but totally ignored China.

Uh, have you seen the show? In the very same episode we see Baxter Stockman mutate into a fly, Mikey wears a butterfly costume and calls himself the Turflytle. I don't know how much goofball you imagine the original show to have, but the new one isn't lacking any of it.

Ack, McRedhead ninja'd me! Serves me right for not scrolling down.

Not only the original, but by every incarnation since. They pay homage to the comics, the 80's cartoon, the 90's movies, 2003 cartoon, and everything in between.

I wouldn't call it superior, but it ain't no slacker. Plus I love how the video ends with the turtles in the TMNT#1 cover pose.

Didn't their chief of design just quit because of this phone? What's wrong with it?

A lot of things light up the Internet, because the Internet is, as a whole, easily excitable. I already cited Stan Winston's animatronic T-Rex as a perfect example of something that hyped up the Internet so much, even though it would've looked substandard compared to what we actually got. Hell, I remember arguing with

Explaining Jojo's Bizarre Adventure to an outsider makes you sound like a schizophrenic hobo.

First off: I'm not defending ASM2's goblin. I find it horrendous. The best one we've really had is Dafoe, hate the robo-mask or not.

Now playing

Have you not seen footage of the Goblin Mask? It looks downright cartoonish:

Let's be fair: even without the sword of Damocles that is the Winter Soldier reveal hanging over its head, Agents of SHIELD's early episodes were at best, meh. It's like the writing team that the Whedons (and by Whedons, I mean Jed and his wife Mo Tancharoen) conscripted weren't used to the episodic format.

Still not impressed. Will wait for the actual film.

Yeah, Waller's better as a BBW than as a thin-as-a-reed chick. Not disparaging the sexy ladies out there, mind you.

I make a very clear distinction between modern shooters — those sprung from the loins of Modern Warfare — and retro/classic/real shooters — those whose pedigree can be traced to Doom and the like. I despise the former, but still quite enjoy the latter.

Just want to point out a weird statement you made:
