Should I do another thread explaining how the rebirth (and eventual taking over of the industry) of superheroes had almost nothing to do with the comics code?
96%Yeah, show ‘em
4%Enough! Shut up already
24 votes • Final resultsIt’s kind of weird how the Borg are considered the defining Next Generation enemy, but they only appeared in five episodes (six if you count the Hugh episode). Q, Lwaxana, Worf’s brother Mog, even Gowron appeared in more episodes than the Borg did.
Another thing I learned from DC Finest is that a lot of Hal Jordan fans complain that Denny O’Neil ruined Hal Jordan. But he was written as an aimless drifter before GL/GA including stories written by John Broome and Gardner Fox
Reading a bunch of DC Finest and really surprised to see Denny O’Neil showing up in a lot of them. He wrote several GL stories before his GL/GA run, a few Flash, and a bunch of stories from the various team-up books. Way more than just a Batman guy
My personal thought is that Deanna Troi, instead of being the ship’s counselor, should have been the ship’s ambassador. now she’s a civilian so her cheerleader outfits make sense (kind of), she contributes diplomacy, and she can have conflict with the military aspect of Starfleet
I always thought of Prog Rock as the sci-fi genre. It’s all nerds writing 25 minute, 5 movement songs about galactic empires. But yes Power Metal is absolutely the fantasy genre

Welp.
I am constantly amazed at the way they don't seem to understand their audience. Geeks are generational. We love to pass on our love for the comics to the next generation.
But what do we have to pass on now?
Peacemaker and Lanterns?🤨
I just want everyone to know I could never actually fight with @DT2ComicsChat. We might have the occasional slight disagreement, but he’s just too right about too many things for me to ever actually engage in any kind of maliciousness.
My favorite Batman story is “The Batman Nobody Knows.” Bruce Wayne is with some kids that tell stories of what they think Batman is like. At the end, Bruce shows them the real Batman and they all laugh. It ends with Batman glad the Batman scares the guilty, but not the innocent.
The conceptual contrast is what makes it interesting to me. Batman dresses like a vampire to frighten criminals, but he's a kindhearted man. Superman is an alien who can punch a planet in half, but he's a gentle guy from Kansas. Likewise, I find Diana being a runway model princess who's also a formidable combatant far more interesting than simply looking like a hardened warrior because she is one. IMO, the former makes a statement that you don't have to sacrifice femininity to be strong. And that's exactly what I want from a character called Wonder Woman.
I’m not really a toy guy, but this is amazing

The reason American comics are in trouble is because 40 years ago they told the 8 year old fans to go die and now there are no new fans at all.
My ten and thirteen year old kids don’t believe me when I tell them there are people that like the prequels. They think they’re terrible and are constantly making fun of them especially the “I like the water” line.
The only thing worse than @espn app are the individual @nfl @nhl @nba @mlb apps. Why don’t my scores ever update on time or live activities start?
I have been waiting patiently for it to get fixed since I know nothing in this modern world actually works. But I give up. THE ESPN APP SUCKS MOOSE COCK! I cannot get Sunday NFL Countdown on it. It takes three or four buttons before you reach anything even when it does work. IT SHOULD SHOW WHAT IS LIVE ON ESPN THE MINUTE YOU GO TO IT! Does that take a rocket science to figure it out? Fuck!

I don't think we've had any good original Christmas songs since at least Nightmare Before Christmas.
No one ever complains about RLM pointing out how terrible the Next Gen movies are

Two interesting debates going on in

1) Debates over whether or not
Anakin Skywalker could truly be labelled evil
#StarWars
2) TNG Picard vs. Movie Picard vs. Star Trek: Picard and Patrick Stewart's influence on all of the above
