See how much better it looks when it's not all dark and drab?

Yeah, that's a pretty good reason.

I get the exhaustion of cross over events but what I don't get is anger towards them. I just skip them when I'm not interested.

Hey, I've been there. I remember one day I saw an article announcing that Netflix was finally moving forward with a new Firefly series, and then I realized what day it was...

And it certainly helps that movies don't need WORLD DESTROYING OMG events to sell issues.

I disagree. I like "little" stories, and the minutiae of everyday life, and not everything being a world-ending crisis. In fact, that's what I think really needs to stop (or at least slow down), is the endless parade of mega-crossover events and "epic" storylines that just diminish the significance and impact those…

I have never seen that banner image before, but I'll be damned if it isn't my background image now.

The morbidly funny thing about DC's continuity is, every time they reboot the continuity, they just make it more confusing (by piling on additional layers of "what is and is not included now?") I don't understand why nobody at DC is able to see that.

Keep dreaming.

I was the same way for quite a long time. I considered myself a comicbook fan, but never actually read comicbooks. I'm so OCD about continuity, and was always overwhelmed by the ultimate question of "where do I start?" I finally figured out a way to do it that has proven satisfactory to my own needs and quirks, but…

I think comics are much more comparable to TV than movies anyway. Big-budget summer blockbusters are obviously "better" than comics in strictly visual terms because of what can be done with visual effects now, and because things are actually in motion instead of sequential static images. But in terms of ongoing…

I was always under the impression that Batman was older then Superman in the comics. About 5-7 older but still older, was I wrong?

I'm always saddened by the hero worship people have for Funky Flashman

And by "every day," do you mean that single time in that single thread that happened a few days ago (which was really just me expressing my solidarity with someone else's comment)? Because other than that, I haven't even mentioned Star Trek in months. So, if you can show any other examples of me hating on Star Trek…

You mean you'd rather everybody else have nothing than you have something you didn't like. If you just want to have nothing for yourself personally, that's quite easy to achieve; just leave before the credits are over. Problem solved, everybody's happy.

How about they continue giving the proper respect to the guy who, through both his writing and the editorial choices of matching the right artists to the right characters, really did make this all possible? I don't hear anybody claiming he did anything single-handedly. In fact, plenty of Marvel movies have featured…

I think it's possible to be taken out of a movie in a positive way. Whenever you're thinking about how good an actor's performance is, or how nice a camera-direction choice turned out, or even how great and detailed a job the set-dressers did, those are also things that pull you away from being immersed in the…

I've heard him joke that he wanted to shave it off a long time ago, but his wife said he shouldn't, because then no one would recognize him.

By light years, the worst post-credit scene out there.

Well, I can't recover most of the impassioned arguments that I made in the original thread, but I do remember one question that I was hoping you might answer; should people just immediately stop having any kind of fun for the duration, any time a national tragedy happens?
