You can't have Jameson in a movie anymore and not cast J.K. Simmons
it should be illegal
"Director Mark Webb was arrested earlier today under allegations that he attempted to cast someone other than J.K. Simmons in the role of J. Jonah Jameson. His attorney did not provide any comment at this time."
what I'm saying is your problem with Marvel is less Marvel's fault than it is yours
yeah that's fine
i never said it was because their shit sucked
also my problem w/ daredevil is that my intro to daredevil (besides the miller/JRJR man without fear mini which was titillating to a young buttlord) was the last run
and it's just such a huge switch in tone that it feels weird and i just can't get into it
this is actually very deliberate on waid's part
daredevil has been this serious noir dead-girlfriend crime drama for a very long time, since frank miller almost, and waid decided that's long enough and it needs a lighter tone
hopefully the shift in tone makes more sense in context? a lot of the serious stuff is extremely good, and if that's what like there's heaps of it you could read instead
no i mean i get the reasons for the shift
and i don't have anything against it conceptually
it's just that, y'know, it's the polar opposite of the daredevil that i started reading
it's weird
people like it and that's cool because it really isn't a bad book
every day i wake up and check the internet to see if kirkman's been killed by a bear
every day i wake up and cry
Man I like Invincible, and Guardians of the Globe (which he doesn't write I think but its a spin off), and I love me some walking dead. Not saying that as a writer he doesn't have issues but I think your being unjustly harsh
Invincible had some good moments before I got tired of unnecessary gore and the Walking Dead was unable to produce a single character more sympathetic than the zombies before it lost my interest.
I am really liking Thief of Thieves though, but that can be explained by Nick Spencer supposedly scripting the whole thing off Kirkman plot outlines
this is exactly the thing i was thinking of
because he has really great loose ideas
"teen superhero grows up in his dad's shadow, dad is really a conqueror" etc
radical. awesome. wanna read that book.
but he somehow manages to ruin some really great ideas with his bad dialog and shitty plotting beyond the loose ideas and his inability to figure out why the violence was such a big deal early on so he just keeps ramping it up until mark literally headbutts a dude until his skull caves in
I haven't read any Invincible post Viltrumite War which was volume 14. Volume 16 comes out soon so I need to catch up on it again. Might as well see the series to the 100th issue.
I can accept Phil turning evil slightly better (especially since they'd sort of planned to do it once before shortly after the Clone Saga, and apparently good things have been done with it now), but I'm still really annoyed he took over the identity of the Hobgoblin since Kingsley had finally asserted that the Hobgoblin identity was his and his alone only for Marvel to only use him in a single story (aside from Spider-Girl) and then have him killed off like a punk.
I really enjoyed the original Hobgoblin mystery up until the Ned Leeds reveal and all the stuff with the gang war and the Rose and what not (of course that's when Macendale took over and he wasn't a very good goblin). Then I really liked when they finally had Hobgoblin Lives come out and explain the original mystery.
Also I'm pretty sure Phil Urich did not have powers when he wasn't wearing his Green Goblin outfit, whereas Roderick did have super strength and everything because he had taken a refined version of the goblin serum, so that whole thing annoys me.
But apparently, according to Slott himself, "nobody gave a crap about the fashion designer
I think one of my saddest comic moments was getting somewhere into the latest trade of Invincible and just being like "...why do I still buy this?".
And that just sucks, because I used to love Invincible. The first few trades of it are some of the best comics I've ever read, and Ottley is an awesome artist (Walker wasn't bad but Ottley killed it). It was so cool to be in on the beginning of something and watch these characters grow and see the art develop and it was SO COOL, but I just can't do it anymore.
I also get uspet that I'm not excited by Hellboy. I used to rush out and pick those trades up. The wait between them sucked so hard.
But now that Mignola doesn't draw them they just don't grab me. I mean, the last trade had moments that should have been rad as hell, and instead I just sort of shrugged and finished it.

Ryan Reynolds is awesome though.

I have no truck with Ryan Reynolds. It's just a confounding sentence. Never in my life would I have expected to type or say those words.

thanks

just not for me right now
"Next up on The Onion News Network..."
ok yeah this will actually get me to pick up ASM again

Slott is a boss love em
Slott's doing a great job of balancing modernized plots and characters with classic Spidey soap opera dynamics and a fun, upbeat attitude.
and then i have Issues and jumping back on a book i've already dropped makes my brain hurt
but i'll make an exception
Man I like Invincible, and Guardians of the Globe (which he doesn't write I think but its a spin off), and I love me some walking dead. Not saying that as a writer he doesn't have issues but I think your being unjustly harsh
I mean he is good at world building and has some neat ideas
but he is horrid with dialogue and goes for lame shock reveals and violence at a moments notice
I am really liking Thief of Thieves though, but that can be explained by Nick Spencer supposedly scripting the whole thing off Kirkman plot outlines
the first arc of Invincible
his Marvel Team-Up run
Irredeemable Ant-Man
but his ideas are sound
if he would step back and do a kinda overseer thing, kinda like bru on invincible iron fist, that'd be alright
but his books are utter shit with one exception
the man is a savant when it comes to father/son scenes
"i'd still have you, dad" is the single best moment in invincible
this is exactly the thing i was thinking of
because he has really great loose ideas
"teen superhero grows up in his dad's shadow, dad is really a conqueror" etc

Your drunk "fuck Robert Kirkman" posts were hilarious
anyway, I am really looking forward to seeing what Slott does with a Spider sidekick
I like Slott's Spidey a lot!
kirkman is good at starting things.
Because it really does start out really great, and then is even pretty good for awhile before finally getting dumb
I wish I only read the first invincible hardcover instead of the five that were out

my drunk posts about kirkman are approximately the same as my not-drunk ones
just more typos
Ryan Reynolds to play Connor MacLeod in Highlander reboot.
What is this I don't even
Van Wilder is the goddamn Highlander.
sold
i'd watch this
just reshoot van wilder and insert sword fights with that guy who does the voice for mr krabbs
Of course, if the soundtrack has anything not Queen in it I'm out.
Jake Wyler is the goddamn Captain America
and his glistening, washboard abs
Not even his fault. He was easily the best(well maybe second after the first five minutes) in Origins despite being handed some pretty terrible lines.
It just happens.
The deadpool movie would have broken that rule so of course it can never occur.
