Yeah, that's...pretty bad.
12:30 PDT
3.25 hours from now.
Thanks, tonlate for me
Man of Steel? Lois figured it out.wait, Supes has a secret identity in this? But Lois was calling him Clark the whole movie?
I dont think that was very good, I cant tell if its my general disinterest in DC or if its just bad :/
Like I said she was calling him Clark in front of everyone throughout the whole movie, and at the end nobody is supposed to know that Clark Kent is Superman (I wont even go into the glasses act like a mask aparently, because thats the same in the comics)

I've mostly gotten over the stuff that I didn't like in Man of Steel, but the Lois and Clark stuff is real bad. The line after their first kiss might be the dumbest post kiss line of this or any millennium.
Was it alluded to at all before hand and I've just forgotten? That would at least make it understandable.
Also from the one seen at the end at the scene from the BvS trailer I'm getting all ready to call this Clark Kent the laziest disguise yet. He doesn't seem to be trying to hide at all.

"In front of everybody"? I don't think I remember her calling him by name near anyone who didn't already know (or could hear).
EDIT:
Yes. For most of the stuff they're in - at least from the point that they're at the military base.
ok, youre probably right, I just remember her shouting "Clark" all the time. But what about the army getting his ship from the kent farm, wouldnt that tip them off that he was clark kent?
we were kids, it was just comics. There was nothing to "feel" about it, kids dont worry about politics or shenanigans

First things first, I came off as a jerk in that reply. I'm sorry.
I dunno if they got it from the farm or if Clark just gave it to them. He mentioned at the end that the military was "trying to figure out where I hang my cape", which implies they don't know who he is. But I could be wrong about that.
but because he says it doesnt mean its correct. Thats why its a plot hole
Im probably thinking too much about it, the movie was alright, I didnt hate it like others seem to, but I also dont think it was particulary great, and I still dont like the grimdarkness of it, but thats aparently the vibe for every DC movie now so I got to accept it I guess
I think if I cared about DC I would dislike it more

Not the romance itself, I mean the actual lines "They say it's all downhill after the first kiss" "I think that only counts for humans".
Was there a deleted scene where they watched a terrible romcom and this is an inside joke? Did the falling rubble give them both concussions? How did no one raise their hands when filming and say "are we sure that's what we want to go with?"?

I want all of it.
EDIT:
Ohhhh. Yeah, I've got no clue where that came from.
All the incessant crossovers of the early 90s (X-tinction Agenda, X-cutioners Song, Fatal Attractions, Age of Apocalypse, et al) pretty much killed all the interest I had in the X-Books until Morrison came along on New X-Men.

Surprised the Vixen animated series trailer hasn't been discussed. Character designs look like they're done by same team behind Young Justice.
It looks really good.

Speaking of Earth One, JMS said he doing another one for Flash
I'm not opposed to them in theory, but they really don't do a good job of keeping any momentum. They should also be one shots and not end on cliffhangers like in the case of Teen Titans to avoid issues where one of the creators stops working for the company (like Lemire leaving DC). It's a decent idea but they just can't seem to pull it off.
I think New Mutants is Claremont's best work.
All the X-Men stuff was super-convoluted even back in the 80s...but they were, and still is Marvel for me. My favorite X-Men arc was the definitely the whole Madelyn Pryor fiasco, that was just creepy in a fascinating way.
That was a time when no one gave a damn about Iron Man or Captain America haha
Yeah, it's like every 2 months someone comes up with a more and more sinister idea to wipe out all mutants.
I never got sick of it though, it was fun.
Oh God, Comixology has a ton of comic books, so why does every title I look for is absent. I'm beginning to think I have very strange tastes.
Groo ? Far from complete.
Usagi Yojimbo ? The same, better on DHDigital.
The Exterminators ? Absent.
Bone ? I would prefer the B&W version...
Cerebus ? No Vol. 1
Ok, that's very specific titles but hey, why you no like me, Comixology ?

Is that the technical term for "Bruce Wayne running into a collapsing building to save a child"?

That's usually what I mean when I say "green kryptonite".

why...why is Superman plowing through gas stations and convinience stores with this badguy?
It's basically his first day on the job, fuck ups happen.

I am now officially seeing Fantastic Four since El-P is doing the end credits music. Can't wait for a new El Producto jam I'll pay 15 to hear it.
Yeah but you forgot the fact that by the end of the film your eyes and eyes will probably be bleeding so you won't hear it anyways.

Saga is always fun. Though I find that I'm slightly less excited to read the new issues these days. This book needs some kind of change-up in the story.
Is that still a thing? Considering you guys do it more than I do? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to say you made a Messi out of that post?
Messi single-handedly keeping Zenescope in business.
Only because they couldn't have gotten away with making her a white dude, I'm sure.
That movie doesn't hold up to repeated viewings. I've gotten bored during rewatches too. If the movie was entirely about Faora, my eyes would be glued to the screen at all times.

Everyone probably got out fine. Explosions are easy to dodge.
Dark Horse was only recently added to comixology so there will be things missing. I imagine that will get better over time as they add old series and missing books.
Exterminators (the vertigo series?) I could have sworn was on comixology. I'm sure I saw it during the recent vertigo sale, but yeah, can't find it now.
