They’re the group that comes in after a super hero battle to clean up the mess and rebuild. There’s a great episode of Ultimate Spider-man that features them.
I’m curious what their show is going to be like.
Bonus Fact:
They already exist in the MCU and were first mentioned way back in the original Iron Man. (bottom right)
Sure are. I haven’t posted much about it because we’ve been swamped with news of everything else. But yes, they’re shooting the pilot now. Here’s the official logo:
Here’s an article with Adrianne Palicki and Nick Blood on their departure from Agents.
I really have never understood the problem some have had with Leia and Luke being siblings. …there’s nothing that contradicts it.
“I know. Somehow…I’ve always known.”
Reverse order list? Always hated those, bleh.
I’m curious where THIS will end up falling on everyone’s lists.
Batman: The Movie (1966)
Batman (1989)
Batman Returns (1992)
Batman Begins (2005)
By far the best of the Nolan trilogy. The only film where Bale put in any effort. His performance just gets progressively worse from here.
The Dark Knight (2008)
Incredibly overrated. Ledger gives a stellar performance but the rest of the film just falls flat. Batman is barely even a character in the film.
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
The fact that Nolan refused to fix Bane’s voice after everyone collectively said, “What did he say?!?” after the big IMAX scene teaser, tells you everything you need to know.
Honorable mentions:
Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1994)
Unquestionably the best adaptation of the Bat that has ever graced any screen. It’s hard to articulate how amazing this series was. The writing, the art design, and performances all are impeachable. Kevin Conroy gave the definitive performance of Batman/Bruce Wayne. Similarly, Mark Hamill has never been topped as the Joker. One of the best television series of all time.
Batman: Arkham (2009-2015)
This is basically the adult spiritual successor of TAS. A fantastic series of games with excellent story and gameplay that has had a major impact on the video game industry and will undoubtedly hold a lasting legacy in the years to come.
Batman (1966)
A tongue in cheek parody of the comics of the time that everyone took seriously. Delightfully fun series filled to the brim with cheeky humor.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold (2008-2011)
Like its '60s predecessor, Brave and the Bold embraced the more colorful side of the character. The series revels in the Batman mythos in its entirety. Taking inspiration from every comic era of the character and using them to tell exciting and a lot of times meta adventures with the “Dark Knight.” It was incredibly fun and surprisingly touching at times in its exploration of the character and his legacy. Not a series to be missed if you’re a fan of the character as a whole.
That would make it even more of an incredibly muddled mess. It’s bad enough Luthor has no real motivation, at least Batman did to an extent because of MoS. Though that doesn’t cover the delusional vision suffering murderous psychopath he becomes.
Chappie was such a complete and utter disappointment. It makes me sad as Blomkamp seemed to have so much potential after his first film. But everything since has been pretty disappointing.
All I needed was that dang battle droid and I’d have won the million. =(
I can’t decide whether Frink should be Mr. Funny or Mr. Uppity.
Mr. Fussy
Mostly been playing The Division. Shortly before that was released though I had started on The Longest Journey. Will definitely be getting back to that but all of these in-game easter eggs/references to Grow Home are making me want to jump right into that.
Hopefully they’ll know to avoid the rock salt.
I made this a while ago and it’s finally become relevant!
No matter what order you decide to go with, don’t forget to play this before you start The Phantom Menace. Followed by this and this afterward.
You know, thinking on it, I think Marphalump would have been a big improvement over Jar Jar Binks.
Daredevil Season Two (2016)
Wow. That was excellent. I honestly think these first two seasons of Daredevil are the best thing that have come out of the MCU. The only thing else that comes close is probably Winter Soldier. Man that was good.
I know nothing about the source material so I know it isn’t that.
You really should give A Princess of Mars a go if you’re into Sci-Fi adventure stories. So much of what has come after in the last 100 years has borrowed from it.
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
Love everything about this film.I barely remember this film, other than the weird style that didn’t speak to me at all.
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was a love letter to the 1940s Max Fleischer Superman cartoons as well as the Sci-Fi action adventure serials of the time. All things I love and am a huge fan of.
It was originally meant to be completely in black and white but the studio nixed that and instead they settled on the unique recolored aesthetic the film is now known for.
Howard the Duck
It has highly questionable moments but I just find the film overall to be quite enjoyable.
Planet of the Dinosaurs
Pretty bad but love it for nostalgic reasons.
Mac and Me
Incredibly blatant E.T. ripoff but it has a charm all its own. How can anyone harbor any ill will toward a film with a scene like this?
SUPER MARIO BROS.
Another oddball film with its own goofy charm.
John Carter
Everyone had it in for this movie long before it came out. Dunno why, it was a fun romp. It took some liberties with the source material but I think they stayed true to the spirit of it. Sad that there’ll never be a sequel.
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
Love everything about this film.
Hudson Hawk
A super cheesy film that I have a real soft spot for. Apparently everyone else hates it.
This is the Rubber Duck…
No Over the Top or Every Which Way But Loose?
Over.
The Filmation style was by design incredibly basic to cut costs as much as possible. Given how few key frames it requires it is very easy to emulate.
I’ve always admired it for that. Along with its slightly more sophisticated forebear Jonny Quest.
He’s the spitting image!
I had to double check the date to make sure you weren’t messing with me. That’s awesome.
