A lot of fictional logic, from comics to movies, exists because without it, we wouldn't have a comic or a movie at all. The answer to questions like, "Why didn't Mrs. Wayne just let the necklace go?" or "Why not just kill the fucking Joker already?" come down to, "Because then there wouldn't be...

Yes, unless by underreported you just mean "It's like all crime, I use words because I like the sound of them. Pear. Peeeaaaaaar." Did someone not read what they posted? Find me "Hate Crime" in that link. Anyway, this is where I get off. Hostility and not reading your own citations? Not...

I'm pretty sure that this is an age thing. I'm the same way, and I find that my friends down to about 25 are as well. After that, it's more of a blend, until you hit 20 or so and then everyone talks about "Ships".

Hate crime is underreported... according to who exactly? Lots of crime is claimed to be underreported, but it takes some actual statistics to make that claim, not just a set of assumptions. Do you have the stats to back you claim?

I really, really enjoyed Jessica Jones. It was a solid, well-contained bit of comic book noire come to life.

Do you know why that is? It's NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE. As humans, we have no real experience with humanity that isn't human. We pretend, imagine, and fantasize about it, but as far as anyone can tell, only humans experience or demonstrate humanity. It would be hubris, anthropocentric hubris to...

It's activity, which this forum seems to need more than anything. Maybe it's actually site owners trying to make the place seem lively.

Who cares? It's just blogging, social media shit. There is nothing about this kind of e-criticism that is lasting, memorable, or consequential. The last thing you should feel as a result of people making noise on the internet, is angst.

No it does not. First of all, that's not what "Begging the question" actually means. Second, do the two seconds of work on Google to learn what the Oscars are, and which awards are determined by audiences. This isn't hard.

Hopefully you were in school at the time, or stoned. Those are the acceptable times to hear that argument.

Not being human though, that's something. The Flash is a guy named Barry Allen, not a Kryptonian named Kal-El. You can raise a cat with dogs, it's going to act a lot like a dog, but it's not a dog. I realize that this sounds like a racist rant, but keep in mind that I'm not associating a value...

Humanity is defined by being part of the human race, also known as Homo Sapiens Sapiens, yes. He's not an Earthling, he's a Kryptonian, that's why he can fly and shit. The negative aspects of Batman aren't really the issue here, and embezzling billions, getting people killed, and engaging in...

Bruce Wayne is no more alien than John Wayne Gacy, John F. Kennedy, Gandhi, Carlos Hathcock, or any of the other notable human outliers. People can be very cold, and training can do amazing things to people. I can't imagine what goes on in the mind of someone who doesn't even share my physiology...

I'd even make it a double play, and go for 'The Harbingers of Failure: And The Comets' and make it a Pips kind of backup singer deal. Every time I hear "Harbinger" I think "Harbinger of Doom!" and I think the first time I heard that phrase was in historical reference to comet sightings.

I think there's hope for you and people like you, with the oncoming rush of "DIY" 3D printing, which is only going to take off from here. The solution to mass marketing is to simply not need it after all.
