Wondered how long it would take for the joyless one to show up.

Listen, you can't just swan in here, drop a jpeg and fuck off again. Honestly, you're like a deadbeat dad sometimes.

I honestly think if they hadn't allowed Man of Steel to devolve into the BlockbusterSmashFest it did, it could have revitalised the SuperMan character for the contemporary market. If the wider audience watched him find his feet as a beacon of hope, and earn the acclaim that he begins BvS with, he wouldn't come off so boring. As it is, he's the infallible man of beige. Even Batfleck is more interesting. fwiw, I can't remember, but I bet Parky didn't like Wonder Woman either. Even though she's hard to describe as an androgynous stick woman.

Yeah, the comics gave you multiple examples of his arrogance and how he was ultimately neutered by his own hubris. Either in flashback, or in comics based in an earlier time. You got why Odin banished him to Earth, you get why he's always wanting to be thought "worthy" and why striving for that abstract quality with his power can make him a saviour or a tyrant... He's a self-destructive, petulant and flawed character who's reduced to Marvel's Superman for the sake of brevity in the films. Superman, now there's a Mary-Sue.

For something pre-Kirk to have the replicators, the floaty intangible interactive screens, 3D holographic skype calls... Like I said, it jars a little.

Sure, he's a double hard bastard. But any jeopardy he faces will be tempered with the knowledge of the Superhero tropes. Sure he might be lying upon the ground, blood seeping from a wound but it's Spider Man, he takes a licking and just keeps ticking. I think the next Thor (Ragnarok) will ratchet up the threat to him. To be honest, he's a more interesting character in the comics, but that's possible to achieve over decades of comics, and not so easy when you're trying to sell toys and advertising.

Right, that's it. You n me pal, knife fight. Wherever, whenever. I will stripe you up.

Hey, You shut your whore mouth! Thor has personality and isn't all powerful at all! "No personality and all powerful".... I oughta carve a lengthy rebuttal with a spoon into your fucking chest.

Nothing draws out the madheads more than calm reason. It's like the Gun debate in the states, make your case calmly and reasonably and soon enough they'll be trying to scare off a hurricane by unloading a clip into the sky.

"Fucking Dummettgate all over again lads, sorry"

Worst thing is I've got them all, just never got round to watching them. Might find a weekend when I'm on my todd, make some cowboy food (refried beans and the like), drink some American beers, then smoke cigars and drink some bourbon while watching all three. Might wear a stetson and chaps as well.

Yep, Parky is a cuck.

I mean, it was fairly obvious that she would, at some point, point them Dragon Tits westward, right? I don't get googling for what's going to happen in a thing I'm watching. The writer intends for me not to know yet, and if I've committed to the show I must have faith in the story they're trying to tell. If, like you, I wasn't bothered about the show really, I'd definitely not be invested enough to actively find out what's going to happen. If you're reading a book, and it's kind of got your attention, but it's not a page turner, don't you just stick with it? Either that or just put it down? would you skip forward a couple of chapters? Or flick to the end of the book to discover the butler did it?

Not just this though, you were googling for Game of Thrones spoilers in the first few seasons.

Now is probably a good time to say I've never watched them and I'm just being a dick.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollars_Trilogy "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is considered a prequel,[4] since it depicts Eastwood's character gradually acquiring the clothing he wears throughout the first two films and because it takes place during the American Civil War (1861–1865), whereas the other two films feature comparatively more modern firearms and other props. For example, Lee Van Cleef's character in For a Few Dollars More appears to be a Confederate veteran who has come down in the world, and a graveyard scene in A Fistful of Dollars features a gravestone dated 1873."

Your impatience is deep rooted, huh? Can't you just wait to find out?

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is pretty good mind. Batman Begins too. Does Godfather II count as a prequel?

You need a safe space? Might I suggest Wookie Hole?

Yeah I figured that. The discomfort Burnham feels at hooking the beastie up to jump-cables, so that they can get wherever they need to go is obviously going to lead up to a confrontation with Jason Isaacs. But the rest of the doohickeys they use, like floating interactive intangible screens and so on. Just jars a bit. That aside it's decent, much better than I thought it would be.

Whoops, they didn't go down;
