    Have you ever loved a series/francise so much that you DIDN'T want to see it continue?

    I agree with the sentiments, though not necessarily the reasoning, of the people saying Fallout with Bethesda still in control. I'd much rather someone like CD Projekt Red or Obsidian (in a perfect world where they have money and time) to continue the franchise. Bethesda doesn't have anywhere...

    Fallout 3 did not ruin the lore established in previous games.

    See, that's the thing. Regardless of whether it actually violated any continuity (which it did, a lot, but lets ignore that for a second), it still betrayed the series canon. Nothing that happened in the first two games mattered at all to the developments in 3, and the elements carried over...

    The Amazing Spiderman - Thoughts?

    It was pretty solid. Acting was good, the direction was well done, the more grounded tone was interesting, etc... But that's kind of all I can say about. It wasn't particularly fresh or new, and it never really took any risks. After the Avengers, the standard "origin, villain fight, grim...

    Your Inspiration.

    My only real goal is to live a good life the way I want to live it, and bring some measure of goodness into the lives of others. Secondary to that is something a bit less abstract; get a chance to write for a Superman comic. I guess my inspiration would have to be my older brother. He really...

    I've been known to dabble in the Deadpool books. Cable and Deadpool was great, And I still find myself throwing an issue of Deadpool Team-up in with my pile of Superman books.

    Why does everybody hate Superman?

    If your really basing your opinion on the character based of off the Silver-Age, I don't really need to respond. I think the idea that someone needs to endure trauma to be a good, well-rounded person that wants to do good things, or that doing good things automatically involves suffering...

    Why does everybody hate Superman?

    I think the problem here is people might be looking at him the wrong way. He's not supposed to be relate-able, not in the general sense (though on a thematic level, I can honestly say that I relate), he's someone you look up to. He's intended to be a paragon, more than anything, not just another...

    The Big Picture: Mailbag

    In all honesty, in our modern age of media fear-mongering, post-9/11 paranoia, and teen suicide a modern day, relevant Superman movie has never been more possible.

    Why does everybody hate Superman?

    I realize that as a newly active forum-goer here that the fact that most of my post so far are on the topic of Superman might make me seem a bit obsessed, but its something that's been on my mind recently. A lot of people seem to see him as over-powered or invincible, but the grand majority...

    So... Thoughts on Young Justice

    Fairly hit and miss for me. I enjoy the darker aspects of it and how seriously it takes its audience, the voice acting has been top-notch so far, and the animation and style is great but on the other hand the teen melodrama really doesn't click with me. And of course there's the niggling...

    Media Sandwich: Media Sandwich Episode 10

    It's a shame so many people still have such an antiquated idea of Superman as a character. He's so much more than "a nice guy who's invincible."
