Ares is back to being alive now. You should definitely read Al Ewing’s Contest of Champions series, it was awesome.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

I always laugh at “What’s the point of balancing a tack hammer on my head?”

I can say with utter certainty that my wife and I saw Mystery Men at 12:30am the morning of August 11, 1999. She had to be at the hospital at 5:00am for a scheduled C-section and there was no way we were going to sleep that night, so we went to a post-midnight showing. The theater was rather empty but we had a great…

You’re not well liked. You’re abrasive and off-putting. You try and say pithy things, but your wit is a hindrance so nothing is provocative. It’s just mixed metaphors. 

“My father died under mysterious circumstances.  He fell down an elevator shaft...onto some bullets.”

“Sorry, but am I to understand you’ve inserted your father’s skull inside of that ball for bowling?”

“There's not enough beer in the world, Spleen, I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

The bit where they’re in the Battle Jittny trying to make Furious angry was hysterical.

Macy is so damn great in this. As Tom notes, Stiller is hilarious as a parody of a dark hero but Macy is a repudiation and mockery of trauma as heroic necessity - he’s just a nice guy with one skill who wants to do more to help people - and while his earnestness is funny it’s never wrong and Macy doesn’t condescend to…

“Until you learn to master your rage—”
“Your rage will become your master? [Long pause] That’s what you were going to say, right?”
“Not necessarily.”

Wes Studi is a national treasure.

Only line I remember from this movie is the Shoveler saying, “We’ve got a blind date with destiny...and she just ordered the lobster.” I still think that’s pretty good.

Another great opportunity to do absolutely nothing about guns in our country, that way when a punk band makes a joke about mass shootings, we can all get furious at THEM for making light of tragedy instead of doing anything to prevent it ourselves.

...you can’t be surprised by this.

It is okay. The real revenge here is that trans women walk past her probably every day. She may even know one or two. She pees one stall over from trans women in the washroom.

You could say the same about Nintendo, except they actually allow cross-play.

The Onion is in the greys though. 

I trust myself least of all. Nobody has done more to sabotage me than me

technically its an incel phone
