a little bit confused about how this actually works. do you actually even need to buy the rights to something someone just posts on the web? I’m not saying “hollywood deserves to steal peoples stories” just surprised they’d go through the effort of buying them at all

if this movie in anyway tries to pull some doomsday clock nonsense I will lose my mind

I’m not sure that introducing mutants to the MCU is really as complicated as people have been positing it would be. no one ever goes “well what were mutants up to!” when looking back at the earliest Fantastic 4, Iron Man, Hulk or Thor stories. We understand from their introduction that they’ve always been there, in…

this makes sense

See, I am a *huge* ThunderCats fan - watched it every day when it aired on Cartoon Network, its one of the first shows I sought out bootlegs for. Hell, my mom was mortified when I told her I wanted to marry Cheetara when I grew up

yeah I remember when they floated this and then just fell back into the same dumb ass patterns

Maybe this is a nerd blind spot of mine because I was born in 1990 but...who exactly is a He-man fan? I’ve met nerds of all stripes in my life but I don’t think I’ve encountered anyone who actually gave a shit about He-man and the masters of the universe.

Many many many years ago when I was a young high schooler interning in a newsroom, my staff mentor (we got to talking about comics, she was a fan) told me that she had interviewed David Goyer about Blade Trinity who told her that “Chinese audiences tend see black characters as villains, so we put white heroes in the…

People have been suggesting this for a while and I really hope its not true. It would be pretty tragic for this character to lose his home reality

I don’t understand why they don’t just do a Ben Reilly or Spider-Gwen movie.

fake alt lex being John Henry Irons is such a good twist on Superman & Lois’ part. I can’t wait to see how it plays out

I don’t understand why they haven’t learned this lesson in 7 seasons but there is absolutely nothing interesting about watching the flash and co job to some villain over the course of an entire season. it would be much better if this show went semi-episodic, or focused on a rogue for 2-3 (4 tops!) episode stints.

he’s so good at it, I feel like he doesn’t get to flex as much

I honestly if this is why so many more modern stories get adapted to film. A lot of those older writers and artists with more years behind them than ahead of them would have no problem talking about how X or Y studio didn’t give them a credit, send them royalties, etc. But of the modern crop of writers you really need…

its absurd we even have to have this conversation given that both Marvel and DC are owned by massive corporations that regularly piss away billions.

Americans are by and large the most cowed population of people on this planet. We allow ourselves to be ruled by inbred mediocrities and launch into obscene defenses of a fundamentally broken system.

The opening sequence to Valerian is one of my favorite in all of sci-fi, but damn besides rihanna the rest of the movie is a snore.

this looks way better than it has any right to

it’s long been rumored that Brian Tyree Henry was going to come out as part of the marketing for this movie. there’s a part of me that really hopes that isn’t true, because it must kind of suck to gear up to do something difficult like publicly declare your sexuality and then....not do it because it doesn’t align with…

I think there’s some dancing around the issue here. Wasn’t part of the concern around casting/making the Ancient One Tibetan about how China would politically respond?
