Casting the villains as the protagonists could give them an opportunity to do something a little different: have the superhero unequivocally lose.

Because American actors suck at accents.

Come on, does a mask like that really need deeply-impractical eye makeup under it? I thought this show was supposed to have a facade of realism.

I guess it's the lowest, sure, but comparing 700 million to 740 million doesn't seem like a panic state.

Venom turns on Sinister Six. Venom loses.

He was basically conceived and birthed into this world entirely to perfectly embody Peter Parker on-screen. I only assume that his creation was plotted by his parents, and maybe even their parents.

As far as the original lineup, I think Kraven would probably be the most fun as an anti-hero, but since they're not beholden to the original lineup, and we know they're also planning a Venom solo movie, I'm guessing he'll be the one to grow a conscience (which will carry over into his solo).

Ah, I see. You made it up. That's OK.

It's the line formed by all the points when each of these major changes (that were supposedly permanent) are returned right back to the way things were before the headlines.

I guess we're just gonna have to take this as evidence of how people see data subjectively, because when I look at those charts (specifically, the ones which separate the individual companies). For instance, on the top chart (which indicates sales, not dollars), look at the area around Jul-12 / Oct-12 for Marvel. …

Hey, optimism is all well and good, but empirical evidence doesn't support your position. Comic sales haven't increased at all in recent years, despite the fact that superhero movies are taking over the mainstream AND they've done plenty of cheap stunts fairly similar to this in the past. So, yeah, it could be that…

Yeah, it's almost like they want to expand their audience, and then watch it shrink right back down again when they drop this new publicity-stunt girl like a bad habit as soon as Thor 3 comes out. I bet all the new female readers they get from this will be really thrilled about that.

"Dissenting opinions" looks an awful lot like "rape apologism" from where the fuck I'm sitting.

Maybe we should wait and see what kind of story is being told before getting our panties in a bunch.

Comics have always been about weird stunts and cover bait.

Kate Bishop doesn't go by Hawkeye-Girl. She's Hawkeye. Clint Barton is also Hawkeye. Holy crap, which one is which? How can there be two Hawkeyes? Consider Thor-girl. Wouldn't that be the same as calling her Thomas-Girl or Fredrick-Girl if Thor wasn't also a title/codename?

It's a different take. He has to; Joker says 'if you want to save Gotham (from the bomb or whatever) you have to stop my heart." So he does. Very much like the ending of Se7en.

Too bad shooting's already started on Batman v Superman. Clearly, this is the most qualified person to be playing Wonder Woman. No one would ever accuse her of not being strong enough.

The worst part was when the one guy said "Are you not entertained?" Like, how long have you been waiting to use that one, huh?

This is complete bullshit. If he didn't rape someone, he should absolutely defend himself. People are raped and it's horrible, but people are also falsely accused and that's also an injustice. These things come down to pure "he said, she said" and that's what makes them so difficult, but an innocent person shouldn't…
