I didn't think it was awful but I didn't think it was very good, either.
Quicksilver and Emma Frost turned up in two different time periods in the same timeline, unless there's another silver-haired speedster and a blonde named Emma that turns into diamond. X-Men Origins did more than screw up Deadpool. They basically diminished major characters to cameos and then we were just supposed to forget they existed.
And Xavier was Patrick Stewart by the time he met Jean and she was like 14. Now he's younger and she's Sansa Stark. How does that work? Did the ripple effect cause her to be born sooner? Is this some Flashpoint shit?
I called this nonsenscal stuff out when i saw dofp. For all the drastic changes in the past, its kinda funny how everything lines up similar to the end of x2

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Oh yeah, no complaints at all. I can name a few writers that got death threats who'd love to talk to ya about that.
Easy mode is like JMS, Brian Michael Bendis, and Dan Slott. One More Day and Bendis' Avengers run alone would do it. Nevermind stuff like Zero Hour, Infinite Crisis, Flashpoint...

Okay I'm all done with Jessica Jones. I don't understand how
Overall, good show, though.
Are you defending X-Men Origins: Wolverine?
*pulls out baseball bat*
she didn't think of that "pretend to be mind controlled" plan earlier. That would've been my plan when he first tried to test the upgrade on her.
Well, about that...

Not even. Not ever.
That plan only works when she switches
from wanting evidence to wanting him dead.
She had to prove hopes innocence
Name one instance in any of the FOX Marvel movie franchises when they did this. One.

Changing the past changes the future in DOFP. Just because it worked out in a way that all the people we enjoyed were alive and well, which is incredibly convenient, doesn't mean it doesn't make sense
How does it make sense when characters are born in different decades from their previous timeline?

How does War Machine or Bruce Banner become a completely different person?
Hope was already dead
find him in that night club and Kilgrave tries to use his powers and realizes that they still don't work so he sends Luke after her.
You realize that those are in no way equivalent, right?
That's not the same thing. Changing actors is not a break in the fiction. They deliberately use Wolverine as an anchor to the universe before the retcon proving that they are still using the continuity. The shift that they implemented doesn't account for characters being alive in the time when their parents hadn't even met yet, or characters being older in the past from their younger selves in the future. There are leaps of logic, and then there is the absence of it.
I haven't played that in forever. I kept trying to make a Wakanda-like advanced civilization that tried to cut itself off from the rest of the world but I would always have to start branching out to avoid getting destroyed.

They thought they were casting one of the other young white women and didn't realize til it was too late then just said fuck it
I can be entertained by AoU, DOFP is too boring to watch more than once for me. I may just be sick of J-Law and Wolverine though. Shit aint entertaining to watch. It really makes me hope Deadpool is good and makes money so executives can see that what they do with X-Men aint the only thing they can do
Yeah, I typically don't go for Domination wins, but there's always some asshole that wants to start shit, so I end up having to fight regardless.
They didn't just change actors with Emma and Quicksilver. They changed backstories and characters in general. Emma in Origins was Silverfox's sister and Quicksilver was just some dude chained up in a cage.
Hulk and War Machine are the same character with a different actor.
And both Quicksilver and Emma existed as their first class counterparts BEFORE the timeline changed. You could say that the guy in the cage was just older Quicksilver but what about Emma?
The future parts were interesting to watch because they had some of the most brutal deaths in superhero films.

Random thing about the Apocalypse trailer.
For someone so proud to be a mutant, I don't think I saw Mystique blue once.

If you cut her scenes from the trailer, and placed them in a Hunger Games trailer - nobody would bat an eye.
This might be her "not proud of what she's done" moment, so she gimps herself so that JLaw has more screen time than Mystique.
They've bent over backwards to have her to the detriment of the franchise. And they ain't gonna stop until she decides to not show up anymore.

Of the two, I'd have to put DOFP over AOU. They removed everything that makes Ultron interesting and the rest of the cast was on bland pills or some shit. DOFP at least had 70s hilarity, Tyrion Trask and the mini-Sentinels, and Blink
Not really feeling that X-men trailer. Have no doubt its going to good, but like the BVS trailer it was oddly edited. Doesn't help I'm not a Jlaw fan, she's terrible in these movies, serviceable in Hunger Games, and out of that only thing people use to say she's good is winters bone.
Had a conversation with a co-worker on the subject of College football players getting compensated for playing. My argument is going to tier one schools is the payment, but her's is the NCAA system should pay them since not everyone goes to the NFL or actually get an education.

Ehhh month and a half away. The itch will be long gone by then.

So I was following my girl on tumblr and she reblogged a post from this movie called Heathers I never heard of. I decided to see if it was on Netflix since ole girl Winona Ryder is in it and to my surprise it was and decided to watch it. About 14 minutes in I wasn't feeling it thinking it was just another flick chick, but from the 80's and then shit went in another direction.
I was like whoa.
.
Biggest 180 I've ever seen in a movie and a mind fuck. Now I feel like writing.
A couple of jocks were jealous of the attention this one guy was getting and decided to walk up to him in the caf and pick on him. This guy replies with a retort and then pulls out a revolver and shoots twice.
Next scene revealed that the guy was using blanks. I was slightly disappointed, but intrigued if anything else crazy was going to come up. Unfortunately, the movie went back to feeling like a teen chick flick, but then.... shit brought back the dark and it fucking stayed there. The movie ended seeming like a commentary on suicide and glorifying it. That ended got me something serious. This bitch was dumb as hell for being interested in this guy to begin with and after a while I was suspecting that she was going to go off the deep end too.

Can you just remind somebody over there that the Virtual Console exists? Just like, mention it in conversation or something?

Now I feel old as shit lol
I believe that the NCAA should compensate players some way. Not all of em go pro, not all of em succeed, when a player suffers a terrible injury I feel bad knowing that they aint getting paid.
I've heard for years that Heathers was legit, but I just could never get with it. The 80's high school movie saturation was seriously overbearing for a while.
Shit. Every time I read the name Miles Teller, I get *insert generic actor here* mixed up in some Sons of Anarchy plotline in i my head. I just can't ever keep a face attached to that name.
I don't think you have to spoiler tag a movie almost 30 years old.
I saw that movie as a kid... I feel old as shit.

So Abigail Fisher. . what's your opinion on the whole situation?
#StayMadAbby
But how was Mr. Fantastic able to beat him with a wooden gun and them have him arrested with no limitations on his magnetic powers?
Can't defend from his Gravity Squeeze.

One of the best hashtags of 2015.
I hope they do Apocalypse justice.
She basically concern trolled the surpreme court.
Peter Dinklage didn't even act like he wanted to be in the movie. He phoned that role in as much as he did in Destiny.
Nah, that's ridiculous. Division 1 college football is a multibillion dollar industry, yet the only people who don't get compensated are the people actually participating in the sport. All this "the scholarship is payment; they get a free education" stuff is nonsense. That year-to-year scholarship costs the school nothing to get away but they get a huge return.
