I’m already in love with this movie.
The Omega Effect also had the one scene which solidly explained how stupid the mentality that in order too be a hero, you must be motivated by the death of a loved one.
It’s a massive, MASSIVE flaw that Spider-Man would let him just walk away in the early days, because the Punisher would use “mercy bullets” around him. So long as he didn’t murder people in front of him, Spidey was apparently cool with it. The cherry on top is, unlike Daredevil, The Punisher is no match for…
But will she ever be as kick-ass as Julie Andrews, the famed Nazi killer?
100% agree. I think DC’s desperate desire to portray stories that are “progressive” has made them lose sight of which stories are TRUE, or at least, repeated lived experience. In most true stories the hero doesn’t get his One True Love. In most true stories, the abused girl doesn’t overcome her abuser, she just leaves…
The current teams writing Joker and Harley have been pretty bad, and missing the point for years: their “relationship,” such as it is, is never over. That’s where the comedy and tragedy of it ring truest. And I don’t know who that is up there, but that isn’t the Joker. He’s some half-baked caricature of an abusive…
That’s what I said. He wouldn’t shoot people who didn’t deserve it, so he would totally open up on the whole SDCC crowd.
I have enough of your shit, Preston! From now on, i’m gonna build my own settlement, with blackjack and hookers.
Loving Squirrel Girl. I mean, I’ve loved pretty much everything Ryan North’s written, so it’s no surprise to me. But that Jubliee cameo doesn’t show my favorite part:
I know it can be tired if used too much, but I think the whole “you’re one bad day away from being me” is just perfect. It’s true, and I think it’s why the Joker/Two-Face thing worked so well in Dark Knight. I don’t know what I’d do if I lost my family, and it scares me. It’s great drama to explore that and toy with…
A deranged tyrant who runs a technologically backwards country? Mac is EXACTLY what I’d expect.
There’s what appears to be a natural-gas container ship about to crash on London, too.
I personally thought how they characterized Avasarala in the show to be significantly different to how she was in the books. I don’t remember her saying “earth first” at any point in the novels, and I don’t know if she would have tortured a belter.
My snow day movie is John Carpenter’s The Thing.
Bad analogy as the 12 parsecs was explained in the old EU.
UGH STFU.
The EU explanation is little more than a nonsensical fanwank. It’s no longer canon, and nobody ever cared about it except you.
Honestly, the one defense that I’ve ever accepted for this horsepucky was that the original script demonstrates that Lucas…
He is doomed, but by his own making. He will never grow up and he prevents the whole Marvel universe from changing with his reality warping powers, according to the Franklinverse theory.
of course he’s not human
Out of everything about the game I dislike, Preston’s constant quest giving is the thing I HATE. EVERY TIME I’m in any settlement I get some recylced quest I don’t want to do forced upon me. Preston is the worst about it because when you complete one he’ll give you another. This is the single worst thing about Fallout…
There’s probably an interesting case study to be done in The Force Awakens vs. Jurassic World, regarding how to and how not to reboot a franchise.
