Oh god, you just reminded me of Terry Long. I’m gonna be grossed out for a while now

It is a retcon, but an excellent example of one done in the right way for the right reasons. “Who is Donna Troy” cleared away narrative clutter, honed in on the threads — the relationships and pieces of plot— that matter, and wove Donna a cohesive backstory that made her a stronger character (until it was retconned…

Just thinking about that issue still provokes an emotional response. Dick putting in no less effort than he would tracking down a supervillain just to make someone he loves happy was an incredible achievement. It’s hard to pull that off these days when realities are rebooted too fast for those relationships to develop…

I recently reread Miller’s Daredevil. My read was completely colored by my current opinion of how douchey he is...

He’s a douche now but we cannot pretend that the film noir look wasn’t influenced by the success of Frank Miller’s Daredevil, also huge at that time.

Whatever DC fixes or doesn’t fix or twists or turns or retcons or reboots, we’ll never quite get this back again. That’s ok, because the story’s there and we can always reread it and remember where we were when we first read it (for me it was as a 13 year old in 1995), but I think the Titans is second only to the…

It’s a cliche to say “they don’t make ‘em like that anymore”, but it is very hard for a modern superhero comic, with the constant pressure of universe wide events and retcons, to have the time to invest in sustained, quiet, character building, relationship examining plot lines like Who is Donna Troy?

This, in a nutshell, is why the Republican party gets more batshit crazy every year and yet survives.

Exactly and thank you. Franken didn’t engage in work place harassment and assault, and he champions women. He denies some of the allegations, and I have no doubt that the R’s are playing us and finding women to do and say things that aren’t true.

Still worth noting that we’re living up to a moral ideal that doesn’t exist for the other side. No matter what their guys are charged with, they’ll push off with “fake news”, which is why they can claim the mantle of family values and support a rapist president and a pedophile Senator-to-be. We better hope a majority…

I hate to be right here but, I called it.

Absolutely not. It’s a giant orb with an annihilation beam that explodes planets. It’s completely different.

While I’m excited for the New Mutants movie in general, I really have to say that the whole “faces stretched on a wall” bit seems tired to me.

“Health matter”.

I would hope putin would send a spy good enough to fake enthusiasm. Not that I would be surprised if someone told me that being around the flaxen fart trumpet donny for even one night was enough to crack even the facade of Mata Hari.

Melania’s disdain for her husband and the endless shitshow he stirs up is obvious and her expression always looks annoyed. Of course if, as I believe, she is a Russian spy and part of Putin’s long con of Trump, it’s no wonder she can’t keep the look of disgust off of her face.

His acting style seems to fit the character, so I’m willing to give it a chance. But yeah, there’s a lot of effort going into making him a big deal—even if his performances don’t always match the effort. He’s kind of 2017's Sam Worthington.
