Re: The most petty thing you'd do as a comics creator
Can one of the imprisoned heroes be 80s Monica Captain Marvel, who is shocked to learn that her doppelgänger first tanked her rep as leader of the Avengers (way way back in the day) before blithely giving up her name - and then her second one - to Mar-Vell's idiot son, and on and on and on? Please? ...

Re: A Walk Down Nostalgia Street: Macyn's Movie/Television Reviews
You'd honestly be Suprised at how many Good movies were made around the 80's & 90's. True, some of them haven't held up very well, but they were all good movies regardless .... I saw the bulk of them in theaters, on VHS rental, or on cable back when it was less than 40 channels. :) Seriously, y...

Re: A Walk Down Nostalgia Street: Macyn's Movie/Television Reviews
I have long believed that 1984 may have been one of the biggest years for Hollywood in terms of creativity and cultural touchstones.

Re: Wonder Woman 1984: Out Now on HBO Max
I think ever since Batman Returns, a good rule for superhero films has been "pick ONE antagonist and stick with it". I think Nolan is the only person to come close to fully pulling off dual ones. As for the 80s setting, I suspect it never went deeper than Patty Jenkins having a 'Memberberr...

Re: Superheroes of Alternate Earths?
I've been poking at the idea of an alternate world in which Germany wins the Great War fairly early on. Generally, the divergence starts a little earlier, with the Germans deciding not to get into a naval arms race with the British (I'd have to look up specifics for dates/details), opting instead to...

Superheroes of Alternate Earths?
I'm just curious, has anyone tried creating superheroes from alternate history worlds? Either as worlds usual superhero PCs visit (perhaps even semi regularly, like the frequent Earth 1/Earth 2 crossovers of pre-crisis), as it's own stand alone setting, or as part of some sort of Coalition of Earths...

Re: Recommendations for new fantasy for me to read?
I have unfortunately only had the chance to read the first book, Foundling. It's a YA series/trilogy set in a part of the Half-Continent of the world of Harthe Alle. The setting is a sort of a late 18th/very early 19th century style with a lot of Dickensian and early Gothic overtones. Magic is a mix...

Not exactly new, but the Monster Blood Tattoo series perhaps?

Re: The Mandalorian
I have yet to see the show, save for a few clips. However, one of those clips was a bunch of fan reactions to the season two climax. I'm sure everyone knows what I am talking about here. Seeing it makes me want to go watch the entire show. In addition, it reminded me of why I loved Star Wars in the ...

Re: What's new with the big two: Marvel and DC Comics discussion thread.
It’s a shame because the artist has a cool style , IMO Yeah, I might like a graphic novel about Starfire from a writer who actually knew about and liked the character if this person was doing the art. This is actually one of the things I miss about the 90s: Back then, if someone wanted to do a comi...

And apparently said author is now going to be writing Batman.

Re: What's new with the big two: Marvel and DC Comics discussion thread.
I'll let Just Some Guy field this: https://youtu.be/VCPr5dD5jPY Him, The Critical Drinker, and at least a half dozen others I have seen. The really sad thing about it is that if you were to do a kid friendly animated series (say something in or around the range of The Brave and the Bold, Teen Titan...
