Fair enough. Happy to have a civil discussion and come to an “agree to disagree” point. The only thing I’ll say is that Zod escaping is the kind of thing that comes up semi-regularly in regard to non-killing superhero types. i.e. “Why doesn’t Batman just kill the Joker? He has to know he’s just going to escape again…

Yeah, He Did His Job in the sense of protecting the Earth, but he violated one of the self-imposed parameters of that job by actively killing a dude in the process. You seem pretty locked into the idea that the only way to stop Zod (or Hitler) was by killing him. I mean, way back in Superman 2 Supes trapped Zod in the…

Like Nilus already said, Superman would have found another way. Because he’s Superman and he doesn’t kill people.

“And there’s certainly nothing degrading about Superman snapping General Zod’s neck-dude was a perennial safety hazard. Who WOULDN’T have killed him?”

Sure, I wonder, but for now that’s all it is: wondering. It may be that it was the main reason he was fired, or it may be that the creators/show runners knew about it and overlooked it until his on-set behavior became too much, or it may be that they knew nothing about it until afterward. The point of kped’s comment…

I think this article was written under the (probably correct) assumption that the chances of him completely reversing that position within the next day or two (and probably denying he ever said any of that) are near 100%.

Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder!

(I’m assuming you’re talking about the Spider-Man burglar thing). The burglar didn’t fall out the window in the original comics story. If I remember right they just showed Spidey about to pounce on him and then cut to the cops finding him webbed up. As for the movie, you could interpret it that way, I guess. I don’t…

Agreed, except that they’re using Carnage as the villain, which is really the only way Venom could conceivably work on his own IMO. I have very little hope for any possible sequels.

I’m going to go ahead and second Laserface here. Maybe someone could get away with Batman killing a bunch of goons, whether directly or through negligence, and portray it the way you’re describing in a better-executed movie (my opinion), but I kind of doubt it. Like Laser said, Thor gets away with it because the…

I haven’t been paying that much attention, so maybe I’m completely out of the loop, but is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson no longer in this?

This is pure speculation, but my guess at what happened goes like this: Dr E read the article, had something relevant to Uma forgiving Quentin that he wanted to say, saw “That’s nice that she’s forgiven him; I’m sure it is good for her well-being to be able to forgive.” and maybe didn’t read the rest (or at least not…

I mean, I can’t really speak for Dr Emilio, but I interpreted his comment as adding what he felt was a relevant, if somewhat ancillary, point to the conversation. The way I read it, he was drawing a similarity between why Thurman might be hesitant to hold a public grudge against Tarantino, and why it took so long for…

It doesn’t. When did anyone say that? Honestly, it kind of seems like you’re looking for a fight where there isn’t one.

Always black on be-D’OH!

The only war involving Christmas is the one in which Christmas is assaulting and taking over other holidays. Like I said in another comment, Macy’s put up their Christmas display in late September this year. When I was a kid (not all that long ago, Halloween and Thanksgiving were actually distinct holidays. This shit…

This. For the record, I’m Christian. If I know someone’s Christian, I’ll say “Merry Christmas.” If I know they’re Jewish I’ll say “Happy Hanukkah.” If I don’t know what (if anything) they are, I’ll either say “Happy Holidays” or just “have a nice day” or whatever. Who gives a shit? Anyone offended by someone saying…

I’ve been working part-time at Macy’s the last couple of months, and they put up their Christmas display the last week of September. So in case anyone didn’t already know this, this gut has no idea what the fuck he’s talking about.

"Fuck you!"
"'Fuck you?' Those are your last words? You can do better."
"…c*nt!"
"You're shit at dying, you know that?"

Ok, but what did you think of the teaser?
