  1. I don't know how it is in Texas, but here in Ireland you would always address a priest as "Father" almost without exception, so that didn't stand out to me at all.

     

    Comic spoilers

     

    Cassidy is being chased by anti vampire crazies, possibly a combination of The Grail and Les Enfants du Sang. Don't see how that makes him a secret agent type. You acknowledge he's good otherwise, Tu is good, Saint of Killers is being set up perfectly, and personally, as long as Jesse's newfound faith is royally shat upon and thus sends him on a chases after God, I'm not seeing the issues here.

     

     

     

    Nick touches on it above, I'm addressing his prowess which you might recall plays significantly into characterisation and later events.

     

    Having read that Ennis interview and further comments I'm just not satisfied that the showrunners get it the way everybody claims.

  2. You liked BvS, tho, so...

     

    Yep. I like faithful adaptions. Could there be a pattern?

     

    Quit being a fuckboy and enter a dialogue instead of dismissing- forgot where I was for a moment. As you were, Panch, rest of cunts.

  3. Didn't dPREACHERig it.

     

    Spent a good amount of time prior managing expectations and recent Marvel Cinematic effPREACHERorts have helped lower the bar significantly.

     

    I'm so glad that they cleaPREACHERred up the confusion. Y'see he's a preaPREACHERcher by vocation AND his self-applied nickname!.

     

    Clumsy shit like hearing the title of the fucking show every two minutes is on the nose. The voice is worse than Bale's Batman, and John Custer looks like a fuckin' nerd.

     

    Joe Gilgun is charismatic as fuck even if Cassidy is suddenly Jason Bourne with an aversion to sunlight. His ability to fight is something that may become relevant guys.

     

    Tu works,Saint was good to see. Turning Hugo Root or his son into anything more than a punchline is a mistake but the Sylvester the cat voice is oddly charming.

     

    Just assessing this as a 'Supernatural drama', it still brings nothing that new to the fore, and kinda punched a counter-culture icon in the shit in the process. Now excuse me while I read why the guy who created the Sex Detectives is okay with the adaption.

  4. I like to think I've cultivated a reputation as someone who'll defend most comic movies to the bitter end. Daredevil hasn't aged well but Spiderman 3 was still as good as the fanboys deserved. This, was not good.

     

    Seeing a guy I kinda know personally was a hoot, and that's the end of the list of things to like. The whole thing played out like it was made for TV.

  5. I'd be interested in having a go, the problem is that I know nothing about the sport and Madden doesn't seem to want to make the issue any clearer so, if someone can link me a 'dummy's guide to gridiron and then drafting for a fantasy league/ panch's preferred ruleset' I'll do the homework and be ready for season start.

     

    When is season start?

  6. Yeah, I bought it with the Vita game bundle. I told the guy at GameStop that my intention was to open the box after the purchase, take the figure out and return the rest. Guy was so nice that he just put it all on the same transaction. In the end it came out to a little less than buying any other fig on its own.

     

     

    Man. Respect for playing the odds anf having it pay off. It's a damned pretty figure!

  7. The first and only time I've seen that figure retail was in the Vita starter bundle, which I considered purchasing just for said figure. Finding it standalone retail or even at a markup from amazon would be preferable though.

     

    Secondly, how long has hotlinking text been utterly rooted? Below is the link to vote for the next 3.0 figure. Darkwing should be the only relevant vote.

  8. Ku-dos to Little Nemo for reading all 106 issues. I don't think even I could have made that slog.

     

    Having just read the new Battleworld CW Book with no expectation, I was pleasantly surprised by the way they gave the event legs.

     

     

    So instead of Cap pussying out and eventually being shot, he and Stark divide the US/ landmass they occupy in Battleworld straight down the middle(separated by an actual fissure incase fans think metaphor is a new mutant ability) and each run their domains as The Blue and the Iron, respectively.

     

    Stark runs a well-organised beauracracy in line with what you'd expect from enforced registration. Have abilities? Pop down to your local precinct to log your info and head off to training camp. The alternatives from there are alluded to in the form of the Bullseye Boys(Bullseye is either a catylist or red Herring to what comes next). Cap's side is kind of a free state. The only governmental mandates are to help out when possible, and to not hurt anyone. Run afoul of either and the Punishers will be on your case.

     

     

    The framework is a bog-standard whodunnit with no sense of subtlety when it comes to imagery, what I'm liking is seeing how, some few decades on how things shaped up with two polarizing ideologies living next to eachother.

  9. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet as I'm working. I thought it might be too soon, apologies for the bum steer.

     

    Edit- You'd think I'd have learned after sitting through a Suicide Squad trailer that I found out after the fact was mostly cobbled together from bits of Focus and Arrow.

  10.  

    If Disney owned the Dragonball franchise, we would bear witness to an anime renaissance! Oh, man. That franchise would get the 5-star treatment. It would totally be a part of Infinity. I can see the trailer now: all the Disney, Marvel, Star Wars characters hangin' - then Vegeta shows up. Making fun of everybody. Whaaat?

     

    I'm positive you mean seven star treatment! ;)

     

    I would go apeshit for Roger Rabbit & Darkwing figures.

  11. Yeah they're all copying the Skylander model, and as I said previously the scale matches Nintendo's Amiibo so all I'm asking for is a similar set up.

     

    As far as gameplay goes I completed the Avengers mission pack but depsite owning the Guardians and Ultimate Spidey tokens have yet to bother. Initially I was infact roadtesting this as something I could play with Tilly down the track and am now just all about the figures.

  12. Yeah I bought the starter set 'for my kid' but have since quit pretending and have everything Marvel/2.0 barring a few Guardians and I think Falcon.

     

    Beautifully cast figures and the same scale as Amiibo which is handy, not that I have an amiibo problem or anything.

     

    Star Wars will be a grand expansion but I'll be disappointed if they quit on marvel figures this soon.
