Shouldn’t the author of the piece know that this scene was taken directly from the (terrible) comic book?

Gaiman’s deeds with younger females who admired his work was well known among people who worked in the convention industry as far back as 2011. There’s a lot more women who may come forward.
561,000 people follow that kid... very sobering, sadly not surprising.
I think Rabin is working overtime to try to imbue a wealthy white woman in mostly shitty films as some revolutionary iconoclast because he has a crush on her. Yeah, born with “zero fucks to give” usually DOES come after being born into fortune and entitlement.
Here’s another secret: She’s White.
Again, I’m sharing this just because I read Priscilla’s book and Guralnick’s bio and there’s literally dozens of anecdotes shared that speak about Presley being icked out by vagina. Literally, it’s in this book that Coppola’s film is based on- one of the main reasons Priscilla leaves him is because he won’t have sex…
To be fair, I read her book (after learning it was the inspiration for DM’s “Personal Jesus” which I found completely bizarre as a 15 year old), and she does reiterate this in that book- it isn’t like she’s saying it now. Apparently, EP was not into sex and preferred to watch girls wrestle in underclothing and be…
“Naturally, that victory came at the hands of Robert Equalizer, Denzel Washington’s extremely capable killer (now retired) from Equalizer 3,...”
A lot of burnt bridges, eh? This woman took a stance for victims of abuse at the risk of her own career. That’s courage. Way to downplay the epidemic of sexual abuse.
Making an origin film for this character yet again would be lazy. I also would like to suggest doing something different for the Lois/Superman dynamic: not making Lois infatuated with Superman. Have an end credits scene where Clark is nervously about to reveal himself to her, and Lois just goes “yeah, I know”- she…
Again, this is a specific debate (Lee’s stealing credit, enabled by Marvel’s corporate owners) and you are referencing a DIFFERENT debate. It makes no logical sense. It’s just to dilute and ignore the actual issue. No one is saying comics aren’t collaborative. What people are saying is that Stan Lee gets undue credit…
Not a silly argument. By the way, the Golden Age of comics counts and Kirby sold literally millions of comics, had his name put on covers when he went to DC in the Forties and co-created the Romance genre with Joe Simon which outsold most of the Marvel line that appeared in the Sixties. So this dismissal of “Jack…
This is not the argument and this response is often used to sidestep the very genuine kickback scheme that was “The Marvel Method”. No one is saying Stan wasn’t important. But he was an Editor and a dialogue writer. It’s because he took credit for things he DIDN’T do rather than for the things he DID do. If someone…
“boldly going where he’s gone six times before”
This is minor but isn’t it seven times before. Three GoTG, two Avengers, 1 Thor, 1 Holiday Special.
Monica Rambeau is Captain Marvel. She was Captain Marvel in the Eighties and groomed to be leader of The Avengers. Editors fired her creator, removed her powers, and literally wrote the other Avengers suddenly questioning her and calling her “dead weight” and inept. The fact that a blonde White Woman becomes Captain…
They can play on point, on note or not and they’ll still be utterly horrible. Plus, they date raped a woman in a closet and yet continue to put their garbage bullshit out there.
Hopefully, the writer of QuantumMania will be one of the people let go in this apparently big shake up. Notably, I didn’t see QuantumMania so my thought isn’t in regards to that- what I do keep seeing are multiple interviews with a screenwriter, or headlines about him whining about reactions, etc. and then seeing that…
“Ramirez steps into the shoes of Joaquin Torres, a.k.a. the new Falcon once more.”
One hopes this isn’t another origin story film for the character. But I’ll tell you what would be refreshing, in my opinion: if Lois Lane is just not infatuated with Superman and doesn’t see him as a potential love interest. Then, post-credits scene is Clark, almost visibly nervous, revealing his secret identity to…
SNL is the enemy of comedy. Banal and enabling, the bad far outweighs the good and Lorne Michaels should be tried for all of the horror he has inflicted these past few decades.
