Ah, good point. I wonder how old MCU Nick Fury is supposed to be, anyway. Clearly, he wasn't the founder of SHIELD, but he says he knew Howard Stark.

Marvel wanted readers to accept anti-reg because it was the status quo, but in order to do that they needed to make the face of the registration movement into Doucheking McGee so the sympathy for the otherwise logical side would fly right out the window.

Sure, you can say that the Superman that we saw in Man of Steel did not act like the Superman that people have come to expect.

If the show is about Coulson rebuilding SHIELD, then it'll be about him struggling with that question. Almost all of SHIELD's secrets are now public knowledge, but the former Hydra agents out there still have their secrets and anonymity. Coulson has to decide 'to what extent can I build a secret agency to combat a…

Particularly when you say something like this will be a "super young" version when Jesse is the same age as Cavill. So that borders on lying.

But for a woman to be only decoration for the man to react to or have sex with, there needs to be a man in the equation. She can't only be on the cover for the man on the cover to react to or have sex with, because there isn't a man on that cover. If you're gonna say the man in question is the male reader, that…

I do have a problem with doctor characters that die & then disappear & then come back to life naked in water "Forever."

That seems to presume that dying or retiring are the only two options.

In DC's defense, at least Man of Steel's Superman has a code against killing that he regretted breaking (ignoring for the moment his complete disregard for the thousands dying in the destruction of Metropolis, because I blame that excess on Snyder and Goyer rather than on Superman).

Since people have blind spots in one area that they fail to have in another let's put it in terms of race. If the cover of Luke Cage shows him chowing down on watermelon and fried chicken with a 40 oz while in a hoodie with baggy pants and mouth showing a golden grill, would it still be racist if the interior is in…

"I grew up loving Marvel. I did not for the most part love D.C. The reason is pretty simple, Marvel told grown up stories while D.C. was offering up Crazy Quilt."

On the other hand, if I may raise the popular controversy, what about fans of Man of Steel thinking it's okay to have a movie filled with flying aliens who shoot laser beams from their eyes, but they think it would be unrealistic to have Superman or the country folks who raised him just always want to do the right…

A lot of the reasons why those '90s superhero movies are so campy is because they were made by people who had zero interest or understanding of comic book storytelling or superheroes.

You're saying this is better than the Spider-Woman cover? I don't get it.

What was worse for me about the reboot uniforms was how they just ripped off the texturing from Spider-Man's movie uniform for the shirts. The whole point of doing that in a superhero movie was that people had come to associate simple spandex with cheaply-made, campy superhero shows for kids, so they were giving it a…

How do you know they were stiff and starchy? Sure, the props were, but the "in story" versions were probably made of space-age, super comfortable, highly breathable wonder fabrics.

I would say in most cases everyone tends to end up wearing coveralls most of the deployment. (Meaning Enterprise wins)

I really loved the way they seem to be defying convention by having Mack be played by a stereotypical "big black dude" actor, but have him display real knowledgeable skill and interpersonal ability, instead of just being more extra muscle. I love it when shows or movies have people play against type like that, it was…

Yeah, that's the one. The "Key Pages" drop-down has an entry called Lost Books, and it goes to a whole long page with dozens of anecdotes about unpublished Trek material. Good times.

As a veteran, I can speak from experience on this. The military cares not about your comfort.
