    Marshall Rogers might be my favorite Batman artist. Close call between him and the even more overlooked Norm Breyfogle. Adams also in the mix.

    Agreed, Carol as fiery vengeance would be feeling cathartic at first (both her and the audience), but then realizing she caused am environmental nightmare, needed to lead off the story as a prologue. I wonder if there is a cut of the film that goes deeper into the dynamic of both Monica and...

    General Marvel Legends

    I think essentially all people are logical and moral, but the logic and morals of criminals can be based on the premise that whatever they want takes precedence over anyone else's needs and wants. So you insult me or anger me and I don't like that so I can kill you to get back at you; I can't...

    I think what bothers me the most about the backlash beyond the crude attacks themselves is that to me (as I have mentioned before), by far the most interesting characters they have to work with now (in terms of potential and acting quality and charisma) are Yelena, Kamala, Kate, Jen and Shuri...

    I almost wrote this myself. Maybe the change is that the group of fans who fantasized being/identified with the male hero viewed (as the films often did) the female sidekick as the potential girlfriend or eye candy prize who needed to be saved or protected, so it was part of their whole fantasy...

    I do want to add two things - although there is certainly a vocal anti-woke fanbase, I do think it is unfair to paint a broad brush that the "demographic" of males and especially white males have not been fans/supporters of many of those films mentioned - I have to assume the the majority of...

    I really am not sure what she and the directors were trying to do with the Capt. Marvel character at times - Larson is just very low key and serious in the role that I felt it held back what I think is her more natural charisma/spark. They show briefly that she could have fun in flashbacks in...

    Continuing my MCU rewatch

    I agree, that became a problem when it felt a bit like arranging the characters and set up to feed into Infinity War. I think if I tried to rank them it would be more in buckets - I am not sure any film was that bad so hard to have a "lowest ranked" and also not sure if I could pick among a...

    Continuing my MCU rewatch

    I've been enjoying this and think continuing to Phase 4/5 for at least the stories that sort of flow more directly out of the aftermath of Endgame and other Phase 1-3 stories (Black Widow, WandaVision + Dr Strange 3, Falcon and Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, Thor 4, GotG3, Secret Invasion) and resolve...

    Looked it up, I am sure I heard of it at the time - but was mostly out of gaming by that point (never deep in it), although I did have a N64, then a Wii. I hope you have recovered from your near medical emergency. If you want I can tell you all about the RCA Studio II, Atari 2600, Atari...

    Hasbro possibly doing Tron?

    Years ago I read that tie-in merchandise for summer blockbuster type films sold on average 40% of their product before the film even hit theaters. That would have included sequels for established franchises, but it is interesting how much is sold before anyone has actually seen what they are...

    Since I don't know what the Dreamcast is, I am going to guess no. That plus when I was in college my state of the art computer was a Mac SE with 1 MB RAM and 40 MB of memory, with a black and white 9 inch 512 x 342 display.

    I kind of doubt it - it should always be faster to be stay at top speed through the bag. Sliding only developed as a way to decelerate at 2nd and 3rd without overrunning the bag, and as a way to make the target for a tag smaller on tag plays, not to get to the bag faster. There is a reason...

    Yeah, the upping of the Wayne fortune from the wealthy family in the mansion outside the city - reasonable for a doctor who maybe came from some old money during the gilded age - to so well off he has unlimited resources, has made it too easy for Bruce.

    The Official Articulated Thoughts Baseball Thread

    Although the focus in the 10th was whether the catcher's foot regained contact on the plate for the force out, the real question was why slide at all - for force out plays at home and 1st you should run through the plate/base - not slide, which slows you down. I think if he runs straight and is...

    Crazy game and series. My condolences to canprime. (Sincerely) I admit that while I really didn't want either team to win, and when pushed I professed a desire for the Jays to finish the deal to validate the M's a bit, I will say I am experiencing some schadenfreude that the Jays hearts got...

    So what is the extra mini-eye that comes with Shuma? Is it from the game?

    Objectively, in the real world, a billionaire dressing up as bat to be a vigilante would by definition be dealing with some severe psychological issues. If I was to reboot Batman, I would have his parents death occur when there were already metahumans like Supes, Green Lantern, WW, Flash...
