The rings are not in the comics. Also, the Ancient One is Tibetan in the comics, and there wasn't a great big school full of people, just Strange and Mordo.

No, it's just that John Carter himself is both horrible and dull. All the non-JC books are good fun, and full of weirdness. (Have you found the guys with spider-heads yet?) I was reading through them myself a few years ago, using the 3 volume omnibuses that Disney put out, and my read came to a screeching halt at the…

I was at a convention once where Virginia Hey had a booth. And even though my favorite TV show is Farscape (and I love Road Warrior) and I could talk about the show for hours, and even though Ms. Hey was there expressly to meet people and sign photographs of herself, I simply could not approach her.

Explain.

That's part of why this movie is so ridiculous. Snyder can't keep his vision of Superman consistent. Making him into a Christ figure is basically A=A at this point, but this is apparently a Christ who kills? Pick a metaphor or stance and stick with it, is what I'm saying.

No, Peg. [flush]

Upvote for Rise of the Triad. I only vaguely remember it - all I can think of are bazookas and fireballs and weird staircases - but I loved it.

Games like this are why I play everything on Easy now.

You don't need to go full Martian Manhunter ever, just show off a little in the last 30 seconds or so. Substitute aliens for ghosts, and baby, you got a stew going!

One of the best places to hide from a Hound of Tindalos, for sure.

It's the old "the First Amendment doesn't apply to my guy" line of reasoning.

Yeah, because it also brings this guy who has all of Superman's powers PLUS he can change shape, turn invisible, walk through walls, and read your mind down to a level where anybody can take him out. Which means in certain situations, he really has to think his way through problems. The Silver Age was great for that…

You and me both, buddy. You and me both.

I always assumed he was Rick Jones.

The bees are on the what, now?

This movie would be a lot cooler if he did.

At home, washing his tights!

No, no, no. Martians lose their god-like superpowers in the presence of fire. It's like Kryptonite. Not only will it burn them, but all their shape-shifting and psionics can't help them out of the jam. It's like a stake to the heart of a vampire. Sure, a stake to the heart will kill anybody, but it's especially useful…

The Justice League is God-like. Always has been. Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, etc. I mean, you have three people with super-speed right there alone.
