I tend to think of them as Silver Agers because of the impact they had then, but yeah, you're totally correct.
Also found out that Joe Simon is still alive (at 98!) and drawing. Good to see that there's still a couple of the legends still out there fighting the never-ending battle.
dammit, this makes me want to go reread my copies of the history of marvel and history of DC hardcovers. -

So what was it like back then? Before, y'know...dirt...
Wait, what were we talking about? -

Awww.
Truly one of the founding fathers.
Is there anyone even left from the Golden Age?
I think he may have been the last one standing.
But keep it quick, it's almost time for jell-o. -

R.I.P good sir and thank you. -
It had a few giggles, but wasn't nearly as dead on as the Superman HISHE. The scene at the end was funny though.

It looks different enough from Raimi's spider-man movies that i'm willing to give it a shot. And the Mirror's edge style trying to emulate how he jumps across the rooftops is interesting. The trailer doesn't look great, but i do not sense great fail in this, only the frustration of fans that: a)this isn't a Raimi movie and b)they're rehashing the origin story again.
I haven't seen how the lizard looks yet, but if he doesn't look like a deranged Power Ranger like Gobby did, i'll be happy. -
Good film, but i call bullkrunk. If mud-covered Ah-nold, and an injured Danny Glover can drop a Pred, then Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow should be able to whomp the crap out of one. Otherwise, cool fan flick.

While the background of Jessica Jones is interesting, she's been kind of a bland player in recent times. I sometime wonder if she was brought into the fold just to antagonize Luke Cage. It may just be me, but every issue appears to have her either worrying about the baby or trying to convince Luke to retire. I can understand the sentiments behind both, but it seems like it's emphasized on a far too regular basis.
Snark aside, i dug Alias and think it would work well as a TV show. I just hope they keep any other references to the rest of the Marvel universe to a minimum. -
Chuck was special, he'd already been exposed to a rough version as a kid, and had to wear the watch to regulate the Intersect. They've already established the Intersect screws with a person's brain, so someone's already carrying the Idiot Ball this season.

Originally, i wouldve just blamed Ratner for the reason X3 was so bad, but after taking a look at some of the other scripts the writer had a hand in, yeah, im worried about a sequel now as well.

Ah, the Batman Beyond suit rebooted by Jim Lee? :P

I actually dug Grimm more than i did Chuck. I found myself facepalming a bit watching it. Yea, im grumpy, but i don't like Morgan with the intersect, and stripping away the lion's share of their resources before they really got a chance to use them just annoys me. Reminds me when they brought in that big storehouse that Chuck's dad had under the cabin, and then blew it up without using anything in it.
With any luck, Dekker will shape up to be a decent villain for the group. 'Cause Volkoff and his daughter were horrible villains last season. -
I really want to be excited by Chuck being back, but my enthusiasm is almost nonexistent knowing Morgan has the intersect, and that he may end up with it for the bulk of the season. It makes me glad this is the last season.

Quote:You say this like it's something Marvel hasn't been doing for years. Before the Decimation, this is exactly how a lot of the mutant books, and a handful of the rest of the earth based books treated mutants. The paranoia angle was probably at it's highest during the 80s and early 90s. After that, the base flatscans of the 616 generally kept their focus of paranoia on one large gathering of mutants or the other.Originally Posted by Samothrake
So, the thing about Marvel supers and mutants, if they wanted to be more realistic about mutants and the whole it could be anybody part of the fear, is that its not just your neighbors kids that could manifest powers and kill people at any time, its your neighbors themselves, hell even your own family could be an unmanifested mutant! Maybe even you yourself!
The problem right NOW, is that until Hope was horribly shoehorned into the x-universe, the paranoia was no longer that anyone could be a mutant, but that the ones that were left over would strike out at the humans and take the rest of the world down the tubes with them. (among other excuses) -

Quote:i call bullkrunk simply because while a terrible adaptation, it is awesome on pure cheese factor alone. also, i will not call shenanigans on any movie with Mark Hamil, Jimmie Walker, and Jeffrey Combs in the cast.Originally Posted by Nericus
4. Perhaps the worst live action anime ever: the first Guyver movie. Poor cast, poor direction, weak adaptation, weak budget.....and J.J. from Good Times as a rapping zoanoid.....egad......

Sorry for me the only Three Musketeers movie that mattered was the 1973 version with Raquel Welsh and Michael York.

The way DC runs things, it'll end up like every other Captain Marvel title, canceled and probably late.

Quote:wouldn't knock WotC too hard. TSR was crashing and burning when WotC picked them up. so if not for them there wouldn't have been any other editions of DnD to gripe about.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
Well let's face it. TSR was essentially bought by a collectible card company. Churn and burn is all they know.

Never dug 4e as much as i liked 3e. Seemed for every thing they got right (the defenses) they frakked something else up. (magic items) And i hate how they ended up changing the character builder. So im wary of exactly what changes they'll be making with 5e.
Still, as long as i can find people who will play Pathfinder, it does't really matter what WotC does.
