I'm kind of bummed that Namor and Silver Surfer are persona non grata in the MCU. That only leaves us Hulk and Dr. Strange from the classic Defenders. But since they're off in the movies we might not even get any cameos in the TV show named after their team.

I was kind of hoping Netflix and/or Marvel TV would be cannier about having a unified artistic vision. I mean, there's only 4 characters so hopefully you at least won't get the thing where someone's talking and you have no idea who the hell it is. (See Civil War and me wondering who Ultra Girl was and why Punisher…

That would kind of work like the mega-crossovers in comics. They, uh, they usually didn't turn out too well. In fact, now that I think about it, I can't think of a comic book crossover that had a genuinely good story. It was mostly superheroes either yakking at each other or beating up some bad and/or good guys.

An R-rated Batman versus Dracula might actually be worthwhile. They better not make any of the sequels, though.

Are they going to be working with the individual showrunners? I remember the Jessica Jones person sounding kind of annoyed she had no idea what was going on with The Defenders.

Yeah, I preferred Jessica Jones and season 1's more directly political themes. Season 2 got really comic booky and fantastical, which I do enjoy, but I prefer having something meaty to actually talk about in my superhero shows.

The Bleach fighting game for I think DS looked pretty fun. Also I'm getting Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax one of these days. I know fighting game enthusiasts say it's only passable, but you get to play Selvaria from Valkyria Chronicles, Holo from Spice and Wolf, Celty from Durarara, and a whole mess of other anime…

CHORTLE AT JOKER'S BONER
Pictures on Page 3

You know, Pac-Man was originally going to be Puckman before they realized that the tiniest bit of graffiti on his name could turn him R-rated.

"Also, I have the weirdest boner."

I can't really see the Joker cursing. I think he would consider it crass and lowbrow. By contrast his archnemesis, The Goddamn Batman, typically works blue.

Do you mean the last phase of the boss fight? Yeah, it can get tricky, plus the strategy is different for each ship and loadout. Once you figure out what works for which ship (or in my case, look up advice online), then you can more consistently get a win.

When I look up the game online I find complaints about the loading times for the PS2 version. Thankfully that issue is fixed for the PS3 and even the frame rate thing is mostly fixed. I think the only time I noticed a frame rate slowdown was during a boss battle when there was an ungodly number of enemies on screen. I…

I think you might be referring to Ultimate Spider-Man. This is the opening to Spectacular Spidey:

I'm doing Odin Sphere on PS3. I've never played it and have been half-assedly poking at it for a couple of years now. I think part of the problem was that I'd go months between sessions so I'd lose the skills I'd learned. But I recently let my PS+ lapse which has forced me to focus on the games I already have. Anyway,…

I've fed it 20 pics by now and it can't even identify something as simple as a piña colada. What use is a robot that is so fundamentally broken?

Which guy from Dodgeball? I guess you proved your point, I have no idea which character that was. In fact, I don't remember a single name from the movie (whereas I could name each one of the marines from Aliens, even the ones whose only lines were of them screaming as they died).

Also in Pride of the X-Men, that one-off cartoon from the 80's.

Badly, as far as the martial arts went. I remember being unimpressed. She was no van Damme, but to be fair neither was he. Everyone was basically just coasting in that movie.

Probably, but then Hollywood will probably just say "This proves no one likes Japanese stuff" instead of "We should stop making crappy adaptations".
