I'd guess it's that they're relying on name recognition for the title but giving us a story steeped in Marvel history. I now look forward to the unnamed Avengers 4 turning out to be Hawkeye setting up a team on the west coast.

Earth X or whatever it was did something similar with Tony. His psychological downward spiral in the movies is even consistent with this.

everyone was expecting the end of the Civil War comic arc, and instead we got the beginning of that run in the 80's when Cap turns in his shield and wears Red, White and Black. It's all there, right down to he and Tony trading blows, and T'Challa in a position to give him a new shield.

Entropic heat is great for popping popcorn though.

Yeah I took this going in as a stealth article about superhero fatigue.

I think Kevin Feige said recasting will be the order of the day, sort of like James Bond. But if they're smart, Marvel will scoop up the rights to RDJ's likeness and can digitally insert his face onto a quick Iron Man cameo or something.
I think the real test will be how plausible it is that each new superhero will…

Don't worry. This is just the first example of a really engaging AR game, of one done right. This is pretty much the Super Mario Bros of AR games, everything after this will be different. You should get plenty of other companies learning from it and releasing a variety of good AR games.

They're dead, Jim.

That felt like the movie in a nutshell, this idea that should be ridiculous, but it's delivered in a loving, unironic way.

Yes, absolutely. That says something about the characters, and in that way it worked beautifully.

I was afraid going in that he'd be marginalized (he was barely in the frame before the crash), but pairing him with Kirk gave him some great bro-time. It wasn't as revelatory as Spock/Bones, but it made it feel like without a ship and a command structure, he and Jim could be considered equals.

He was governor of Florida! And nothing bad ever happens there!

I believe the full name of the ship was "The Defiant Benjamin Lafayette Muthafuckin Sisko Will Destroy You And Your Entire Fucking Quadrant If You Cross Him" but we only ever saw that one side of the ship because, y'know, stock footage.

I love the potty mouth.

I love it. So talented.

Saturday morning cartoon production values went way downhill in general around that time, favoring a scratchy, color outside the lines approach. See also: that terrible Little Shop of Horrors cartoon.

Specs appeal.

Gat Out of Hell broke me out of my post-Skyrim funk, and I'm playing the Xbox One version of SRIV right now. Tons of fun.

SMB2 level 4-2 for me. I can repeat the ducking/jumping/ice sliding but I can't tell you the sequence consciously.

The jetpack in San Andreas is one of the greatest game extras ever created.
