It's the last scene of John Wick Chapter 2.

He wasn't happy about Deathstroke's strength being due to the Mirakuru, leading to his really weak return in that episode from season 3.

The movie really drags with all those extended scenes and you start to lose the focus of the plot. The theatrical cut really got it right by spending most of the back half of the movie on the core trio of characters.

I remember Matt Singer's review for Mockingjay: Part One described it as the first time a studio has ever released a movie consisting entirely of deleted scenes.

Withholding deleted scenes from initial releases and then double-dipping is inexcusable with modern releases. There's none of that "newly discovered footage" bullshit when you're making movies in an era where everyone expects those things to find a release eventually.

I saw it on opening weekend and laughed out loud at that moment, along with the rest of the audience. The movie is pretty average but they did a decent job of raising the stakes by getting smaller. The Pepsi can moment was a hilarious little capper because it was exactly what I would have done after going through all…

I think it's unfortunate for Axel Alonso that he had to be the public face of Marvel during this time of increased scrutiny. He only does those semi-regular columns because Joe Quesada built it as a tradition and the original Cup of Joe came out at a time where the internet was a bit less intense. It's the time when…

Spider-Man 2 has the best opening credits out of any superhero movie. I don't think there's even any competition.

I've been teaching for nearly a decade and I haven't met a single student who collects monthly comics. Part of that is because of the types of schools I work at, but the biggest comic fans I know among these teens will keep up with events by watching youtube videos like Comics Historian.

I really hated his style when I was a kid because it made me feel so uncomfortable and all the characters seemed so miserable because they looked miserable.

There's no longer any sensible long-term plotting on those X-characters these days, besides Cyclops over the past decade. It feels like writers are just handed a list of characters by an editor and then they just throw them around for a dozen issues before they themselves get booted off for the next relaunch.

Price makes a huge difference. I started collecting in the 90s when books were around $1.75 and then they grew and stayed around $2.25 for a long time. Now the typical Marvel book is $4-$5. Is that appropriate in terms of inflation? I have no idea why a kid would start collecting comics nowadays as a hobby.

What other notable works has he done? I thought he was forgettable on that Brian Wood Moon Knight run, which is why I couldn't believe it was the same guy. Really big improvement.

I know! I'm behind…

A lot of that "broken" feeling to the Marvel Universe is that they brought in a lot of unusual creators who hadn't done a lot of work for mainstream comics but primarily worked for other publishers or imprints, mainly Vertigo. I remember occasionally reading complaints about creators treating the continuity or even…

Tangled Web was a series I didn't necessarily buy every month (which tends to be the problem with anthology series), but the type of talent put on that book was so unusual. "Severance Package" is probably the best issue from the whole run, but I also enjoyed favorites from Darwyn Cooke and Kaare Andrews.

I had completely written off Tynion after being forced to read so many of his mediocre back-up stories in Snyder's Batman run, which were seemingly included just for raising issue prices. I had slowly warmed up but not completely during B&R Eternal. Now I consider myself a fan though. I guess giving consistent work to…

Liu's X-23 run is a real drag and I felt like I had to force myself to get through those last issues. I checked it out on MU just because I was a fan of the Kyle/Yost New X-Men run. I was most disappointed by the character assassination she pulled on Julian Keller, which it sounds like you mostly were able to avoid.
