I *adore* Evo. It’s, hands down, my favorite X-cartoon. It definitely needs more love.

I came to the comments to say the same thing. I actually didn’t play it until the Intellivision collection on PS2, and it stood out as one of the few games that was still actually fun to play at the time. 

So Netflix made a deal with the devil?

Hooray for the mentally ill loner who devises a plan to kill as many innocent people as possible as an act of revenge for perceived slights from the “normies”...

I miss those two and I’m really happy that they have both become succesful and critically respected authors. It was always a joy to read articles from Charlie and Annalee. My step dad always says he was born to early and that his identity doesn’t fit in the world but people like Charlie and Annalee give me hope that

Why is this the first time I am hearing of this podcast??

So say we all!

I think Heinlein’s method of detecting if you were in an alternate reality was to check the phone book.

It bums me out. I came to the the kinja-verse through io9 initially. Now I barely bother with it.

Back when i09 was more than, “OMG MCU!!!!!!!” combined with every hyperbolic adjective possible. Yeah, me too.

Oh, how I miss them around here.

This is as good a place as any to say, if you’re a fan of io9, CJA, and Annalee, you should definitely be listening to their Hugo-winning podcast Our Opinions Are Correct. Trust me, you’ll thank me for it later.

Ambush Bug remains one of my favorite comics things, ever. Giffen is just on my comic wavelength in a way very few people seem to be. He’s also been criminally under-reprinted. I picked up his Showcase volume back when it was released and the price has skyrocketed on that thing. It’s one of my prized comics

My biggest and, I think, least shared comic opinion is that I’m furious Deadpool came along and stole America’s heart by taking the Ambush Bug schtick, but replacing the wry and well-crafted commentary on comics as both culture and medium and replacing it with a dick joke.

Ideology? Yes. The guys who wanted to start a new society underwater or in space certainly had an ideology. Specific, real world political ideology? A lot less so. They even changed SMERSH (a fictional KGB branch) to SPECTRE for the movies, and most of those assiociated with governments turned out to be renegades.

How many Bond villains are based on ideology or religion in the first place? It’s not really the Bond formula, he doesn’t fight terrorists.

Now playing

The myth Bond is apolitical is just that, mythical

Ya... the Craig Bonds are 50/50 right now.  They're pitching at Pierce Brosnan levels right now.

Live and Let Die had a voodoo cult, but the driving force for Kananga was drug dealing

Rumors suggest, though, Malek’s character will use technology to raise the kind of terror that would draw the attention of 007.
