    I love that show.

    Too bad that Cybertronian culture wasn't explored more as I'd like to get more on Predacon Megatron's viewpoint that the Autobots and Maximals somehow made the Predacons a slave race as such a thing should go against both Autobot and Maximal philosophy.


    Another great quote:

    "Finish the quote Megatron! 'Nor would he surrender!' "

    Better yet: Optimal Optimus enters the Nemesis bridge for the big fight

    Megatron: "Oh well, let's have it! The usual destiny and honor speech!"
    Optimal Optimus: "SPEECH THIS!" and punches Megatron

    Here's how I see it:

    1. the first movie mentions the 10 rings organization, obvious Mandarin reference.

    2. Justin Hammer in IM2 is part of the 10 rings, not specifically stated but more then likely.

    3. Hammer got his hands on the IM Mark 2 armor that Rhodey took from Tony and weaponized it into the WAR MACHINE armor. This means Hammer has the tech specs on the armor and likely analyzed its software as well.

    4. Hammer sends this data to the 10 rings organization.

    5. Mandarin builds the Iron Patriot armor based on that data and Eric Savin suits up in it.

    However despite modifications, the Iron Patriot is still based on data from the Mark 2 armor, Tony went through the Mark 6 and then Mark 7 armors in Avengers so for IM 3 he is at least up to the Mark 8. Each new model likely contains upgrades and improvements so Tony should still have an advantage unless his enemy has taken Extremis. If such is the case, then Tony himself takes Extremis and augments himself (and purges the shrapnel from his heart) and then using his boosted intellect and data processing capacity he builds a new armor and goes after his enemies.

    Just speculation of course.

  4. I started reading this when it started, but I soon got hooked into Jim Starlin's Dreadstar. I've gone back and read some back issues of Grimjack, it was indeed a good series.

    I honestly don't get the hatred that some have of the second one. Granted not quite as funny as the first, but it was still about protecting Earth from the aliens and it showed that Agent J missed K and was glad for a chance to get him back. They seemed to have the same working relationship once K's memory got restored.

    MIB 3: interesting time paradox story. Basically Agent J has been a living temporal anomaly for most of his life. He's relatively immune to the time change since he's already been back there and lived the events in his own personal future,......this is the part that kind of threw me a bit. In Back to the Future 2, Doc and Marty and his girlfriend missed the time changes that altered 1985 because they were in timewarp and thus outside time. The explanation for Agent J felt almost like Bishop of the X-men when Age of Apocalypse began with the early death of Charles Xavier.

    Agent K for years knew what was going to come but really couldn't tell anyone for fear of breaking the timestream even more. Explains why he was so closed up and wouldn't talk much.

    During GL: Rebirth, I pretty much cheered when Hal's spare ring replicated itself and the replica flew to Guy Gardner. I was like "Thank you Parallax/Spectre for undoing that Warrior garbage!"

    Just read through this while eating my lunch, according to the article it was apparently a new form of LSD called bath salts which raised body temperature to a dangerous level and causes delirium, etc.

    I think we can postpone the zombie apocalypse warnings for awhile.

I can only speculate that Burton and Depp have entered a bubble where a third person point of view is incapable of entering and informing with constructive criticism. The Echo Chamber of Doom has been constructed. I fear that my $18 for an IMAX experience has only cemented the seams of that inwardly mirrored ball rather than shattered it.

    Just saying, the machines don't seem like they did much better as the rulers of the planet.
    Now this I agree with, the machines surely had the ability to remove the sky burn and let the sun shine upon Earth again. The Architect did say there were levels of survival they were prepared to accept, perhaps fixing the sky was a contingency plan if one of the Ones prior to Neo or Neo himself allowed the Matrix to crash and thus kill all the humans.

    But as to the question...hmmm...don't know! If K didn't kill the evil alien or didnt apprehend it there, then *** would likely be dead now.
    Indeed, the alien knew that someone was going to die. It could have been J or K or someone else but someone WAS going to die.

    As to who was going to die and how that person's death connected to things, I had that figured out when the alien saw the watch.

    Basically as it stands both K and especially J's are essentially walking time paradoxes. K had to live and save the Earth otherwise Earth would be conquered, and for that to happen he has to recruit J in the future and get him trained as an MIB agent first class. But K can't tell J certain things because then the risk of the time stream getting even more scrambled could occur. That would explain old K's attitude problem in the beginning of the movie, he knew that things were about to hit the temporal fan as it were and his phone call to J was his attempt to try to tell him but he didn't and J has to put the pieces together and then go back and set things right. Basically this reminded be of Back to the Future where Doc of 1955 learned of things of the future from Marty's visit to 1955 and then how later we see that Doc has been to the future and seen and learned things but couldn't or I should say WOULDN'T tell Marty about his own future for fear of altering things and that somethings Marty had to learn and realize for himself. Same thing with MIB 3, Agent J has to learn somethings for himself that K couldn't tell him for fear of altering time.

    The explanation for how J remembered things as they were however was pretty flimsy even though of course time travel is a fictional concept and thus the rules of time travel and changing the time stream and its effects can be broadly interpreted.

    Overall an interesting time loop plot.

    MIB 3 was fun, a bit better then 2 but then again I also for the most part liked 2. However Avengers is the superior movie by far and MIB3 is not going to take the top spot away from the Avengers. See both movies, have fun

    Thanks again for the help everyone.
    Now there's no need to torture the poor boy. Show him 70's Spidey and then ask is it awful or outdated or both? Also try to find the live 70's Spiderman from Japan.....where he had a car and a giant robot.....

    80's Cap.....yeah I'd call that a flop. The 90's Cap movie is best filed under W.W.N.S.O.T, along with Dolph Punisher and Hasselhoff as Nick Fury (WE WILL NOT SPEAK OF THIS)

    Good heavens that was some ugly Iron Man armor.
    Yes Iron Man 200 was the epic fight itself, but that issue was a healthy Tony Stark in a fully armed, operational and fully charged suit of armor.

    Iron Man 1 gave us Iron Monger vs Tony with a prototype power source that was insufficient for the Mark 3 armor thus life support/power problems similar to his original fight with Titanium Man back in Tales of Suspense and the 1966 cartoon.

    As to that armor from IM 200 that was the new Silver Centurion armor and it was a nice break from the red and gold suit but I was glad that Dave and Bob suited him up in red and gold again at the end of Armor Wars.

    This probably has more to do with getting the most bang for their promotional budget, which is where the real cost of big-budget movies is. Battleship might have earned poorly in the box office so far, but it's the huge marketing campaign and its huge price tag that's making the studio take a bath. There was (and is) going to be a huge marketing push for the new Joe movie, so getting it to a less-crowded spot on the calendar, while also making it as good as it can be in the editing room, is a smart move that doesn't have much to do with how good or bad this movie is.

    Personally, I think this movie will suffer from having come second. If it were the original Joe movie, we'd all be much more enthused about it. It can be a good movie and still not perform because of it's weaker sister movie.

    This is a movie I was planning to watch this summer, and moving it hasn't changed my mind about it. In fact, that's a good thing for my wallet. One less movie to have to come up with the bucks for in a short amount of time.
    I don't think the movie itself will suck, it is just that it will suck compared to the Avengers and not pull in the money that they are hoping it will pull in, which in turn will hurt merchandising sales, etc. etc.

    Had Battleship been delayed it may have done a bit better but then again......

When they re-booted and either just threw a lot of that out, or tried to compress it all into some ridiculous five-year timeframe, I just lost interest. When they essentially wrote the Justice Society out (who are my all-time favorite characters), I was just done.

    I've browsed through the new issues, but have yet to see anything that has interested me enough to get me to come back to the fold.
    The Green Lantern books have been perhaps the least affected by the reboot, I still read those as they still hold my interest but the pacing of Red Lanterns is too slow and I may dump it soon. Also it looks like DC is going to remove or else greatly reduce the multi spectrum Corps at this rate. The Sinestro Corps is currently deactivated, the Red Lantern CPB is poisoned and if it shuts down the reds all die, Larfleeze I think will soon become a major threat, the Blue Lanterns are about to face major trouble, the Indigo CPB was just deactivated recently, and the Guardians are slowly conspiring to kill and replace the GLC with a new "Third Army". Also having Sinestro as a GL again makes for interesting stories.

    Correct. The Iron Man vs. Iron Monger fight at the end of the first movie was based more on his original fight with Titanium Man back in the old Tales of Suspense issues.

    Villain in larger, more heavily armed armor vs Iron Man who is experiencing power supply/chest plate life support issues. Had Iron Man had a proper arc reactor in him for that fight it would have gone differently, I'm sure.

    Though I still laugh at this part:

    "How'd you solve the icing problem?"
    "Icing problem?!" suit shuts down
    "Might want to look into it!" bangs Iron Monger on the head.....
