That guy with the hat tackles one of the more tolerable debut comics from the olden days of Image.
Linkara! -
Anyone else think the Sphere that Superboy rescued is going to be the equivalent of the Super-Cycle from the YJ comics? (Especially given where it seems to have come from, based on the ending scene of how it arrived in Bialya...)

I don't think so, but they did have him start pressing for healthier eating habits. Now he eats fruits and veggies, and says cookies are a "sometimes food".
... which he then promptly devours in his usual style.
Cookies just happen to be his favorite treat. -
Go into your Options menu and pick the "No XP, Double Inf" while exemplared selection. Then go run Ouro arcs and TFs/SFs below your level to your heart's content!

Quote:Yeah, I know. I meant a not-weaksauce TV series that writes out the main character's love interest from the comics so he can flirt/hook up with the pretty doctor and whoever the female guest star is this week and does practically nothing with the Rogues Gallery. Oh, and isn't trying waaaaaay too hard to make the Flash out to be Batman.Originally Posted by Mr_Apocalypse
In all seriousness, I actually do own the DVD box set of the old Flash series. I just think it's due for a new incarnation with the resurgance of superheroes in Hollywood and the popularity of crime procedurals/dramas on TV.
For a fun bit of stunt casting, I'd throw in John Wesley Shipp as Jay Garrick! -

It would be nice if she wasn't directly related to anyone from the Gaang. I do rather dislike that whole trope of, "Here's some characters who saved the world. They're also related to these people, who also saved the world." The idea that everyone who influences the world either knows or is related to one another is a trite storytelling mechanic.

Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. - Animated, because there's no way we'd get a budgeted live-action flick with that much awesome.
Starman - Live-action TV series with a set number of seasons, ala Lost or the like.
Flash - TV series. C'mon. It's Smallville meets CSI. No-brainer, Hollywood. -

Virtue is second busiest server and the unofficial role playing server. You are just as likely to find yourself caught in some erotic role playing with a fat 45 year-old shut-in living in his mom's basement as you would taking down Hami.

Is anyone even all that interested in Tomb Raider anymore beyond fanservice-y fan art and the like? I'm not saying that this won't necessarily be good and fun, but maybe it's time for a different video game property featuring a kick-awesome heroine to get the Hollywood treatment.
Metroid. You know you want it.

Kind of odd that they seem to be using the same character models from GL: First Flight, but different voice actors. But it all certainly looks epic and win.

Quote:This. What essentially made the Asgardians gods was that people worshipped them as such. In modern times, where the vast majority of people on Earth have consigned polytheism in general and the Norse belief system in particular to the dustbin of academic "mythology," of course they would explain away Thor and his people as being powerful, nigh-immortal aliens.Originally Posted by BrandX
I don't think that thought changes, because one is an alien and one is a god.
I think what changes, is one's view of basically coming down to...worship.
"Okay. It's an alien that can stomp me like a bug! But that's no different than me going head to head with a tank!"
vs
"Okay! This is a god! Do I start worshipping them now? Is my soul damned if I don't? Or I do? OMG! My chosen faith is so wrong, why didn't I think to worship forgotten religions?!"
Basically no different than what CoH uses for Zeus. He wasn't a god, he was an incarnate that was worshipped as a god by the people, as well, incarnates (and supers in general) are powerful enough to be viewed as such by those without equal power.
(That doesn't mean that there aren't people on Earth who still follow/believe in Norse mythology, and who might well see Thor's appearance in modern times as equivalent to the idea of the second coming for Christians. In fact, that might be an interesting angle to explore in a sequel...) -
Title's pretty self-explanatory, folks. The NChick reads off the rap sheets of the best of the worst.

Dark Nella's body count: +2 (possibly 3) -
I saw him in both The Punisher and Blade: Trinity. I'm not convinced he could play Conan.
Maybe the thuggish mute fiend guarding the evil sorcerer that Conan kills in an incredibly gory fashion at the film's climax, however... -
Throw in Strucker and Zemo, and we've got a party.
Seriously, that's some awesome makeup work. Looks like he just stepped right off the comic page. -
Anyone else want to see Cillian Murphy's Dillinger Jr. send a new version of Sark into the Grid in the sequel... played by David Warner?
Can you say, "Tron/Sark rematch"? -
The upside is that swinging all the way back around to villain will get you a special badge. But yeah, every AT of every alignment has access to the APPs now, though the villain AT versions tend to have at least a few powers different from their hero counterparts. I respecced my Brute out of his Patron Powers as well.

From the trailer, the art style reminds me a lot of Avatar: the Last Airbender, somehow. Anyone else seeing that?

And even though it goes against my desire not to hint at the genre of the game, the point about time-travelling Nazis was just too good to pass up.

Actually, Ragdoll and Cluemaster were in fact both characters from the comics. Cluemaster was the father of Stephanie Brown, the vigilante known as Spoiler and the current Batgirl, but the character himself really was little more than a less charismatic Riddler knock-off, so I was glad they didn't use him much in the show. Ragdoll goes back as far as the Golden Age, with a legacy that played a major role in James Robinson's excellent Starman series and the seriously twisted latest incarnation appearing in Gail Simone's Secret Six ongoing.
Anyway, I only caught the show in bits and pieces, but I liked most of what I saw for what it was. It certainly tried to be flashier and more action-oriented than BtAS, at least for a good chunk of it I thought. But I'm glad they steered away from making everything as different as possible from what had come before the way they seemed to be heading at the start of the series, and even threw in a few fun nods to the Timmverse at times. Though I am a little disappointed that they seemed to just drop the story of Yin, Rojas and the previous cop characters after Gordon made his debut, since Yin in particular had really become a pretty interesting character in her own right.
And... I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually thought the "vs. Dracula" movie was kinda cool, too. -
Loving Dark Nella's 'tude, as well as Dr. Tease's sexy-fun outlook on SCIENCE!! (Pretty sure I stumbled across a Twitter post somewhere regarding the relationship potential between Tease and Dr. Insano, heh.)
But mostly I think my favorite parts of the vid were whenever the "truth serum" injections cut through the Chick's depression and her usual faux-pretentious approach to the topic at hand and let loose the squeeing fangirl within.

World War Z might just float your boat, if you're interested in zombies. The book itself is told through accounts of different people's experiences related to a worldwide zombie outbreak compiled by the author, so the audio book has a number of actors playing the people being interviewed as they tell their stories.
