The first thing I heard about this was that it wasn’t true. Afterwards I saw io9's article from yesterday, and I facepalmed.

following incredibly (and justifiably) angry reactions yesterday to a report claiming

it was purchased by Disney merely as a jumping-off point

Good news, everyone—following incredibly (and justifiably) angry reactions...

It was not “justifiable” anger. It was absurd to believe an anonymous post in the first place.

“Vulture, citing sources close to the production, claims that while the original script did feature such a role, it was purchased by Disney merely as a jumping-off point rather than the intended final product.”

I wish people would wait for facts before they start organizing a lynch mob. But that doesn’t seem to be the internet’s way.

The original report reeked of outrage-bait from a mile away.

If it serves to draw attention to the show, and then get to keep those people interested, then I don’t see the problem. As long the show itself doesn’t focus on Superman that much

Whats this “Rebuilding trust” nonsense. They own you. Get used to it. Gawker got itself in this mess by being willfully ignorant of the openings it was leaving for it’s enemies. (and then acting like they’re the first news outlet to ever piss off a rich guy). Deal with it.

I invite you to plug that link into the Wayback Machine at archive.org and weigh any evidence presented there, such as it is.

I’d love to hear the discussions at Univision Legal about the merits of floor-shitting stories.

"Meanwhile, Jack Flack is egging Davey on to murder this man before he himself is murdered." Davey did not commit murder. That was legitimate self-defense. How could you think otherwise?

The movie is also notable for featuring one of the earliest cinematic instances of a proto-Comic Book Guy übernerd, played by William Forsythe (!). Naturally, the bad guys shoot him in the face.

The games are all on sale because the industry had collapsed the previous year. So, A+ for accuracy to current events.

..An hour of someone murdering kittens would be more upbeat than an average episode of TWD.

Zombie shows/films do nothing for me. Less than nothing. So even if one happens to be super duper amazeballs, I’m still not going near it.

Pretty sure Rick’s murdered some kittens on the show, hasn’t he? I mean, I stopped watching about midway through last season but the scenario where he had to kill them so walkers wouldn’t find them based on their adorable little meows had to have happened, right?

They’re milking that Robocop reboot costume for all they can get out of it.

It is ridiculous, I could never hurt kittens. That’s why I murder puppies instead.
