  1. About halfway through into the Des and Chris segment. Chris is an excellent salesman for Gene Colan, I gotta get me an Iron Man Essential to see his stuff.
  2. Wait, why the 20s? What relevance does that decade have with WW?
  3. Dyas after you dudes cover "A Taste of Armegeddon", it's directly mentioned on the Colbert Report!

    Take away Auto-Tune from T-Pain, and what're you left with? What turns out to be still a really friggin' great singer. http://www.mtv.com/news/1981000/t-pain-auto-tune-npr/
  6. Yeah at one point Flash Thompson's Venom series was the highest numbered title at Marvel at like issue #40 or something.
  7. Oh totally. I think the writing has more room to improve. There are a lot of teamwork and friendship themed platitudes that get tossed around too cheesily, but it's a very likable show. Gustin's Barry Allen is a distinctively nice guy who tries to do the right thing. He doesn't feel like any other superhero that's been portrayed in the media before. This gave me yet another reason to start watching Arrow, but I can't make the jump. I still don't like going from Chili-making, swashbuckling, liberal Ollie Queen to grim and gritty "THE ARROW" who lives in "Starling City". I know I should check my prejudices at the door and just give it a sot, but it's tough.
  8. Jesse Martin's damn near the best thing about the show. He's brilliant. Wentworth Miller's Captain Cold stole the show. He played it so gleefully straight. I loved his head-nod of amusement when Cisco called him Captain Cold.
  9. ^I'd much prefer her since she's more of a physical match AND already knows how to fight. Emily Blunt's not what I imagine when I think Carol Danvers.
  10. This is the day Marvel did practically everything right. Fans clamored for Black Panther and Carol Danvers, and we've now got them. I'd be surprised if we don't see She-Hulk in some form or fashion before the end of Phase 3. It seems like an obvious way to go to keep the Hulk more relevant.
  11. Colored me happy. WAY closer to a fit than Ethan Hawke or Jaquin Phoenix
  12. Got more sole than a sock with a hole

  13. I just finished watching it, and I enjoyed the character bits. Unfortunately the plot of fighting trees and the woeful child actors kept it down.
  14. I really like the fact that you guys are forced in some episodes to figure out the exact instances of sexism and misogyny. Even if you misjudge something (which IMO so far you haven't), you've certainly presented the listeners with the intent of being open to discuss it further if need be. I 100% agree with putting McGuyver's character as a whole into the sexist count, for all the reasons Dan said. That was ridiculous. Additionally, I was so happy you went back and discussed the ending of "Space Seed". When I first saw that I said out loud "WHAT THE FUCK?!" There's a worse instance of it in the next season where a guy brutally murders a crewmen in cold blood right in front of Kirk just because he can, and by the end Kirk is laughing with him during the solution to the episode. You get the idea sometimes that the writers fell asleep during the writing and forgot how the episode started out.
  15. I suppose it was only a matter of time...Wonder if Sabrina, the Teenage Witch will be in continuity with it.
  16. Get in line, unless it's played ironically.
  17. Let's not ever speak of War Crimes...or War Games for that matter. I think the show is on the cusp of reaching its potential. The last two episodes I found greatly entertaining, but it needs to develop faster and go somewhere. I actually routinely love every scene Bruce and Alfred are in. Bruce is the character, along with Bullock, I feel they've nailed the closest.
  18. ^Rhodey's in the film. You can see him in a scene.
  19. Man that looked badass. Song gives it a cool, creepy feel. Just the shot of the Avengers looking defeated with Banner twitching shirtless spoke volumes.
  20. The first time I ever saw it was when John Byrne had Superman doing it immediately post-Man of Steel, and then it was applied to Jay Garrick retroactively. Before that the explanation i always head for Jay's ID being kept secret as A) he moves so fast all the time and never stands still, so no one ever gets a look at him anyway, and B) even if they did, who the hell would recognize Jay Garrick? Mandatory.
  21. Gotham Knights was designed to examine Batman's relationship with his family. There was also the short-lived Batman Chronicles. I will say that Dick Grayson: Team Leader is practically and usually a different character than Dick Grayson: Solo Act. The Nightwing of the New Teen Titans era wouldn't bat an eye at the things the Nightwing of Chuck Dixon's Nightwing run was having trouble with. I'd agree that connecting him with the larger DC Universe by way of the Titans or even the JLA probably is the best use for him, because he has so many ties to different characters and is one of DC's oldest icons. Implying that he's never been popular as a solo act...I can't agree that. It definitely shrinks his audience down to Dick Grayson die-hards, but the character has maintained a consistent interest with fans for decades. It's not like he's Hawkman or anything.
  22. Umm... Are you implying that he's not popular now, or ever? In any case, I'd be inclined to intensely disagree.
