Yeah... that would be me. Pay up.

Im in this pool as well, and called that one. Double payout!

That's because Spock is still reeling from not having access to all the powers he had as Sylar.

Or it could be a human that is really good at hand to hand. Vulcans are stronger, but someone who can actually fight, and not whatever combat training starfleet peeps think they receive, should be able to go toe to toe with a Vulcan without being captain America.

This is how my group manged to get into a wizard's tower during an adventure being run at a local convention. Friend of mine had been working UPS for a couple years and was happily drinking the Kool Aid, so the first thing he asked the two guards at the door "Do you guys have a union? Do you guys stand here all day? Just waiting for someone to show up and stab you? and for what?"

Now, Im normally the BS artist of the group. It's what i do, it's fun. But the entire group just stared at him in shock. The DM asked for a bluff, and let the whole thing fly. We ended up waltzing through the whole dungeon picking up the wizard's 'soldiers' and presenting a list of grievances to the wizard who proceeded to try to kill his rebelling underlings. We sat back and watched. It was disturbing.

Wasn't that the basic idea behind Noh-Varr/Marvel Boy? And Bendis turned him into 'Protector'?

Until i saw this flick, i didn't realize it was possible to completely loathe and still be amused by a movie.

If this story is an accurate depiction of how well the 'new 52' is doing, that inevitable reversion is gonna hit a lot sooner than most folks think. Though they'll probably keep most of the costume changes with Jim & Dan still calling the shots.

The first time i pictured someone using this in combat, i thought of a galaxy full of one legged smugglers who thought they could get the jump on them damn Force users.

Where she kept her good costume?

Same. Closing the 'boob window' is one thing, but seriously it looks like she's wearing a Power Bib. The people in charge at DC are morons.

This is probably the reason i don't mind them rebooting the series. As much as i did like the first two Raimi films, there were a lot of things about them that i didn't like. Mopey Peter was one of the big ones, and this guy doesn't seem to have the perpetual kicked puppy expression Tobey was rocking in his Spidey movies. I admit, i really want to give this new direction a shot, and from the two trailers they've put out, it looks pretty good.

That was Empire, not Return, and in frustration blew the 'secret' on some morning talk show the week the movie opened.

They went roughly 2 or 3 years between Bond films, even when they brought in a new Bond. So 5 years from when Spidey 3 being released isn't too short a time to run with a new Spidey, IMO. Normally im wary of trailers, but this one does what the first one didn't, sell the movie. Its enough to make me interested in seeing the movie, and with any luck, it'll at least wipe the stain of S3 from my brain.

I don't see why. almost all of these talented writers do have their own sandboxes to play in, but jump at the chance to write a SW novel, for the chance to add something to a universe theyve been a fan of since the first time they saw that text scrawl up the screen. Its like getting the shot to write a favorite comic book character, who wouldn't want a shot at adding something to the mythos of something you grew up on?
