World of Cardboard is such a good Superman moment and I’m sad we’ve never had a big screen Superman where that would feel authentic. We either have the Donner/Singer Superman who is so unapologetically self-sacrificing that he would never go all out on someone or Snyder’s who would beat the shit out of anyone,…

I think Man of Steel is generally *too* maligned by trying to make it line up with the rest of Snyder’s work. It’s not great, it made a lot of mistakes, but it has a decent core of Superman ideas.
I think Gustin’s Barry is basically the best Peter Parker that has been put on screen until Holland’s take. And Ezra Miller’s might be the worst. It is super frustrating how much they don’t want to do the comics Barry Allen though. I think John Wesley Shipp was actually a pretty decent attempt, when you try to get…
I’ve always loved Superman’s personal drama not being that he’s ever vulnerable, but that everyone else is. That he lives by a code of honor that says he has to be a paragon of virtue and has the power to uphold it, but how can he truly save everyone, even those who don’t want to be saved? I think it’s something that…
Brandon Routh has a ton of goofy charm and charisma and would’ve been such a good Superman in a better movie. I really don’t think there’s ever been a bad casting for Superman (that made it to screen, anyway), just bad movies that good actors have been cast into.
Counterpoint: Margot Kidder wasn’t even a great Lois Lane. Nothing against her acting or her at all, and I think she was good in the role she played, but like so many Loises Lane, she’s not really matching up to the character on the page to me. Which is fine, sometimes! I love The CW Flash even though that is…
I actually see Shuri and an AI version of Tony Stark being the ones to usher in Ironheart w/ Riri Williams.
Wait, why not Treasure Planet? That sounds great. It totally deserves another shot.
I believe the logic here is “Auli’i Cravalho would make a great Nani, huh? We better get on that.”
Haha you guys really sock it to this Spiro Agnew guy. Does he work here or something?
The worst I’ve heard about Vince Gilligan is that when he was stuck on an island with a bunch of other people, he broke their radio made out of coconuts and they were stuck for longer.
Technically yes! He only played the first quarter, Cassel played the rest of the game, but since he was the starter, I say it counts.
The death didn’t play well and didn’t make a lot of sense in the comics. Because he didn’t die, he was magically sent backwards in time at the moment of his death and Superman was only holding a clone.
Historically, the Electoral College has actually never served the Democratic Party. They’ve lost the electoral vote and won the popular FIVE TIMES. To be sure, most of those times we’re talking about old school pre-Southern Strategy hella racist Dems, but it’s wild that it has only hurt one party in history.
It is a goddamn outrage that a handful of people found a bug in the 12 hours it existed and managed to get some extra kills in a game where that has no meaningful permanent consequences. I’M FURIOUS.
Weird choice to kill the only character who is, canonically, unkillable.
I actually really like Quantum Leap’s ending. It wasn’t ambiguous- Sam got control of his leaps and spent the rest of his life trying to help people, starting with Al, creating a paradox where the Leap project was never started, untethering him from causality.
“It’s a shame how this industry continually recycles characters as intellectual property for profit.”
“Also, buy my new comic book about someone else’s character created in 1897.”
Is it? It’s an embarrassment of indie riches + some of the best entries in Nintendo’s legendary firsty-party stable. Third-party games are a bit on the thinner side, but if you cared about that, you should’ve never bought a Nintendo console in the first place.
