A question about the movie popped into my head last night and I wanted to ask if there's a part I missed. I did make a bathroom run toward the end, so think maybe I missed something on that.

Has it? I haven't read comics in a while, is that the new thing? Supe's slogan feels incomplete to me without a third thing, my ear has been trained to anticipate it, but agree that "American way" doesn't have to be it.

Thor: Ragnarok I have a real love/hate relationship with this movie. There are parts that are really beautiful and exciting, and there are parts that are juvenile and dumb, and there's almost nothing else in between. It does some really great character work and development between Thor and...

Unbelievable. The first Thundertank is the low point of my collecting. You can still get it from BBTS  with an in-stock Panthro for less than this. It's like the movie 'Brewster's Millions' but without the millions.

I was hoping to hear something like this. I have a deep knowledge of DC history (up until about 15 years ago, at least), and would occasionally wonder if some action or character would have any meaning to an average Joe. Like, I couldn't really tell if having Hawkgirl and Guy Gardner in the...

I suspect they're building up to a big, epic "Clobberin' Time" shout in the finale. They'll keep teasing it out like Jimmy Page waving a violin bow for the whole concert.

Somehow my favorite version of Lex Luthor is Jon Cryer, and I would never have predicted that.

Pfft. Even the Arrowverse had one of those. But she does get a bump for being part of my approval of Jimmy's upgrade and general plot involvement.

I ran out to see Superman this morning because I thought it deserved to be seen without spoilers. I... give it a solid C+. Of all the characters, some how Jimmy Olsen came out as my favorite. Likely because it was such a fun new take on the character that I sat up and took notice. I think I...

Oh yeah, I forgot about the vac-metal versions. Did they ever finish the team in that form or are there a bunch of mad collectors with half a crew of shinies?

Cortex Commander is what almost got me into the Worst. Then Fresh Monkey swooped in with their Dr. Caligari. I still kind of want that brain pigeon, though.

You guys make some convincing arguments. My gut has no counterpoints.

Same. I've no real business experience. I just think there's more to a HasLab than just a lost $400 HasLab sale being offset by two $200 PostLab sales, if that makes sense. Otherwise, why do HasLabs?

Those collectors will buy it regardless. I'm more vibing off the collectors who think electronics are an unwanted markup or who will skip a figure because they're waiting for it to go on sale.

I wonder if doing your four most popular characters as o-ring is really a valid test of whether the line as a whole has support.

I paid no attention to that one at all. Is it different than the COIL version? Better? For me, at least, the original HAVOC is on the wrong side of ludicrous. It's really just the dumbest thing for a guy like me who wants military(ish) figures in military(ish) vehicles. But, I really like the...

My only experience with BAFs was buying an entire wave of figures I didn't want to get Stilt-Man. I accepted it as a necessary evil because there's really no chance he'd get released solo. So I guess if a DC BAF were one of the weirdo characters I wanted I'd be game, but if they were to BAF...

I really think HasLab backing would take a real dive if collectors thought they could get it cheaper later. But maybe they're stockpiling them for when the HasLab well has dried up.

The more I look at this Snowcat, the more I really want a HAVOC II. It got me thinking, how much extra cost is there really in just making some of them in OD green? I can only guess, but it feels like, say, 400 additional purchases would offset the cost of buying 400 units worth of different...

We watched K-Pop Demonhunters on Netflix the other night. If you've read any of my film criticisms and wondered if there are actually any movies I do like, wonder no more. This movie was a lot of fun and everybody really enjoyed it. It's got a Spider-verse + Ghibli vibe to it and a few catchy...

Spider-Man: Homecoming To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of mixing my Spider-Man in with my Avengers. I know by the early 2000s that line was broken by having Spider-Man join the team, but I've always considered his loner status/lack of resources/public perception issues to be part of his...

@jayjonah If it helps, the HISS isn't actually called a tank. It's a HIgh Speed Sentry, which suggests a faster, more agile (and maybe smaller) vehicle than yer battle tank. According to the specs, its guns are 90mm, which is technically smaller than the 120mm fired by an Abrams.

No, there's definitely a guy at the bank teller window who's just kind of never seen again after Electro starts taking hostages.

I admit I've never read a single comic with him in it, but I consider that an advantage since it left me with minimal expectations. (Same with Joe. No idea how much of his story is based on the comics.) All I do know about the Hood was that I thought he was, like, the kingpin of superpowered...

Not episode specific, but I had a real "that's really it?" reaction to learning what his goal was. All told, it just winds up making him look small.
