Vol. 1 of Daredevil goes from being okay, to pretty good in the 70's to great for a good to amount of the 80's and then just it just comes completely undone. Like it's absolutely baffling how fast the thing just completely unravels.

Finally got around to starting Chip Zdarsky's run on Daredevil and Jesus Christ what a read it's been so far. Marvel or DC, I'm comfortable in saying that this is probably the best comic being produced but either company right now.

Nah the latest issue just came out last week
-
So I'm assuming Superior Spider-Man is done already? The latest issue seemed pretty final.
Thank you Marvel for getting me invested in Otto's redemption just to pull the rug out from under me.

Just watched all ten episodes of Cobra Kai last night, its fantastic. They did an amazing job balancing everything, it was funny, it was touching, it was dramatic at the right moments, it was nostalgic, fans of the originals will love it, but newer viewers will be able to enjoy it all the same. There were some great callbacks to the original, they fleshed out the original characters and new characters very well, and a lot of characters are a bit more shades of grey than the originals, but they don't overdo it and make the good guys too evil or the bad guys too nice etc. See, that is how you update a story to modern times without ruining what it was. Very happy with it and ready to watch it all again, really hoping there's another season.
Binged it the other night, I was very surprised how much of a labor of love this was. The last two episodes of the season have personally my favorite viewing experience in a very long time that hit all the emotion chords they where aiming for. Considering the scuess it's been for YT Red and how the ended the series/season, I'll be very disappointing if we don't get a follow up of sorts.

Currently doing a proper rewatch of the Namek/Ginyu/Frieza sagas for the first time since my original viewing and although the brutality of second form Frieza torturing Krillin in front of Dende, Vegeta and Gohan has always stuck with me I had completely forgotten Gohan has probably has his third best moment in the entire series directly afterwards, only beaten by his transformation into Mystic Gohan and of course, during the Cell games when he goes Super Sayian 2.

As a huge, huge, huge fan of the first two Karate Kid movies finding out that there is a upcoming series that reunites some of the original cast has been a very pleasant surprise.

Binged the last 6 episodes of AHS: Cult last night and after it was all said and done instantly I thought to myself it'll be a shame that we'll probably never get Evan Peters as Lex Luthor either on television or in a Superman movie. The guy put on a tour de force as the megalomaniac cult leader and would be politician.

Just got done reading Stephen King's Christine yesterday and what book. I've seen John Carpenter's adaption a bunch throughout the years however it just doesn't do the source material justice, in my opinion, however it's still a fun film itself.
Also the ending though, well I wasn't expecting anything happy still left me gutted:
SpoilerEssentially the narrator, Dennis, tells us the one member of the Repperton Gang who seemingly got away died in a "freak accident" involving a car well closing up at work out in the west coast. He then wonders if Christine is working her way back to him, or is he being paranoid? The way it's played out just comes off as depressing and sad since Dennis is such a great guy, for the most part, and it seems like no matter he'll never move on with life, making him Lebay and Christine's final victim, no matter what.

Yeah so that blow out for the Raptors last night was something, it's fair to say they completely outclassed the Cavs.
-
Last night I gave Bob Clark's Christmas classic, Black Christmas a go, and although I tried to watch it years ago when I was super into slasher/horror movies from 70's/80's my only memories of it was that I was super bored during the entire movie ... However this time around, I can really appreciate it for the genre masterpiece that it is, today's group of horror writers and directors really need to watch this and take some notes on how to craft a atmospheric movie.
-
Dark Shadows is so odd, like the first year or so the show is utterly unremarkable (or atleast from what I've watched) then the Barnabas Collins saga starts and it becomes actually really compelling.
-
Not related to this season whatsoever but Michael Skupin was found guilty today of 11 accounts of child porngraphy and is due back to court next week on racketeering charges.
-
If the Jets can play with a sense of urgency this season like they did during the last ten or fifteen minutes of last nights game, they're in for a good season. Still a few years away from a Stanley Cup I think, though.
Laine has all the potential in the world, should be interesting to see how his career plays out.
-
I'm not an overly big Marvel fan but I'm really hoping Doctor Strange is well received, which I'm sure it will be.
One of my favorite aspects of the Marvel universe is its Supernatural characters and there's alot of potential for some fun stories there. If they own the rights or at least share them with Sony it'd be awesome to see Morbius finally get an adaptation, rather it be a movie or a Netflix show.
-
Enjoyed the on screen chemistry between Superman and Supergirl however...
SpoilerWas shoehorning the Luthor family into the story this early really necessary considering it seemed as if Maxwell Lord was being set up in that role last season?
-
I'd say more open, but I'm sure that comes down more to the person then anything. The whole "Emo band" wave of the mid 2000's was more of a fad then anything, so most bands that made there name during that time where almost forced to evolve there sound.
-
This is me just totally judging a show before it even gets up and running but I'm currently watching the Lethal Weapon series and besides a few instances here and there I'm totally not buying into the actor playing Riggs. Like he's a good actor, he's got a charm about him but unlike Gibson who made you believe he actually was a loose cannon who didn't give two shits about himself, I'm not just feeling it from this guy.
Again, its probably just a case of me judging a show before it even gets a chance.

I was going to give a shout out to Fallout Boy but I figured that'd be pushing it.
As others have said Panic! is something you should check out. Was never really a fan of them myself but anytime I saw one of their music videos they'd always remind me of MCR.
-
I haven't listened to MCR in a long time might but you might like Taking Back Sunday, just going off memory they had a pretty similar style for awhile but don't hold me to that.

Meh, honestly the original series was extremely camp, which was fun at the time sincs it was targeted towards kids. I don't mind them trying to switch things up and present the group as more complex they're targeting a broader audience with this movie, what worked in the early 90's probably isn't going to translate well in 2016, as much as I've always loved TMNT, the last two attempts at the movies have been proof of this.

I watched Wonderland for five minutes and it came off as an absolute mess. If nothing else I'm happy certain characters that happened in that series are seemingly going to be considered non-cannon from this season onward.

Yes, but it starts to go downhill with season four, unfortunately. I wish I gave up earlier than I did. My big gripe is with Mr. Gold. Him going from villain to villain trying to be a hero back to villain because he's a power hungry motherfucker gets old real fast. Especially since he did something in a season finale that looked like he had finally redeemed himself, only for the creators to yank the rug out from under that.
Honestly what where they thinking with that? His character had become the most developed and that episode was a logical conclusion to his story..
Then they just completely hit the reset button on his character instead of leaving well enough alone.
-
Yeah honestly, it may be a guilty pleasure of mine but it does get repetitive fairly quickly, season one to about mid season three are okay, then things kind of start to slowly but surely go downhill.
I'm honestly just jumping back for the Aladdin arc - if anything after that is still good, cool, if not I won't lose any sleep.
48 minutes ago, GhostMachine said:I gave up on Once Upon A Time after last season. Bringing in Mr. Hyde was the last straw. Plus his accent being horrible didn't help at all.
I tapped out on season five after
SpoilerAfter Hook became the dark one and sacrificed himself.
Mind you anything Emma/Hook centric loses my interested. The whole dynamic seems so forced.

The Comic Book Thread (spoilers)

The Frank Miller run was good and really introduced some important aspects of Daredevil lore but I much prefer the Anne Nocenti run in all honesty
Edit: does anyone know a good starting point to get into Thor?
