If you subscribe to their Youtube channel, they put out a trailer for this target (the same intro you get when you launch it).

Yeah, an awful lot of people seem to conflate “has emotional depth and expresses those emotions” with “shrill harpy”. Clearly they preferred it when she was a perky wallflower who acted as team cheerleader.

“You look familiar...”

Even over the weekend the drop was massive - 58% from Friday to Sunday. There is normally a dip on Sunday, of course, but 58% is pretty extreme. The film is not proving to have the long tail it needs to turn mega-profitable.

I LOVE YOU, KITCHEN GUN!

Haven’t had a chance to watch the video yet, but wasn’t the whole point of Civil War that it was the result of Skrull meddling and infiltration, as revealed in Secret Invasion?

According to the comments in the Morning Spoilers thread, they didn’t want to tread on the Ghostbusters trailer/interview.

Whoops, double post.

Mirriam-Webster has the first recorded use of “superhero” as 1917, and Nietzche coined the term Übermensch in 1883, so you are technically correct.

B) Now all we need is the type of leader who can promise us “a flying car in every garage”.

Yes! When Luna was introduced in the books I was sure that was where they were going to go.

It is actually pretty chilling rewatching the earlier episodes with Dorian once you realise that his entire charming act is a complete lie, and he really is just using/taking advantage of Angelique the way she’s afraid he is. There are a couple of times that comes through, if you’re watching for it. Sadly it’s done so…

Visionaries were reasonably well-known in the UK, because they got a backup strip in the Transformers weekly comic for a while (as well as a Saturday morning cartoon). They definitely haven’t hung around in the public consciousness as much as MASK, but I think that’s at least down to MASK being easier to explain.

I’m not surprised - the only exposure I ever had to it in the UK when I was younger was “MST3K: The Movie”, which was really just a theatrical release of one episode. Got hooked to it when I lived in the US for a while - managed to catch the last few months before it went off the air. I still think the final episode…

The later career trajectories of videogame writers can get pretty strange - Kieron Gillen and Charlie Brooker both spring to mind.

This sounds like it’s based far more on Maskelyne’s self-aggrandising memoirs than actual facts. Which is probably okay.
It’s a shame that it means they’re side-stepping the man who really put the Deception unit together though, Dudley Clarke. He also invented commando units (the British version of them, the Special…

In his DCAU incarnation Hawkgirl was a major character (and a fan favourite), so at least some of it is down to people feeling that adding him in steals the focus away from her. In addition, DCAU Hawkman was very much played as a joke/creepy stalker-type (with his ranting about destined love and so on), and that does…

I immediately thought of Twin Peaks. Interesting to see people’s different responses!

That “is she with you?” line sounds suspiciously like a joke. Did someone miss the memo?
