I Don't Mind

Shocker's outfit never bothered me. It certainly looks different but given the power of his gauntlets, I always assumed that's what the necessary protective insulation he'd have to wear would look like.

Cobra Commander's hood looks like the finest imported silk. That shit breathes and flows. Zemo's mask is made from some raggedy ass corduroy pants. That's why he looks pants-on-head retarded.

Is it his Nazi Tiara or his lavender towel mask?

To add to this, 1982's God Loves, Man Kills was the loose basis of X-2 and was pretty great. We just read it for the Marvel Universe Book Club

Groot by Jeff Loveness Read this fucking book. Delves into Groot's inner workings and the particulars / origin of his friendship with Rocket. I cried.

In an attempt to open things up to a larger audience, I'm going to try this again on Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/MUBookClub/ Anyone with an account feel free to join. If reddit falls flat, maybe I'll come back to just do reviews on the board again

Finally got around to reading Batman: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader and it was not what I was expecting at all. I've seen it top so many lists for "Essential Batman Reading" and "Best Batman Stories of All Time". Maybe it is objectively, but with the expectations I had going into it, I wasn't floored. I liked Gaiman's Sandman and knew he had a really weird, artsy style but at least most Sandman stories are stories. Whatever Happened is more of a visual essay on what it means to be Batman than it is an actual story. Literally, from cover-to-cover, nothing progresses. Nothing moves. You find out as a reader what the framing device means and then its over. Can other people who have read Whatever Happened let me know if I let my expectations ruin the book or if it's really overhyped?

Apparently they got rid of it. It was useless to begin with, so hopefully they'll fix it and put it back on the website. Just have to use the filters after clicking series or creators or characters for what you're trying to find. @Hutch2004 I'll consider it. I've gotten pretty lackadaisical utilizing my MU, so it would give me a reason to get my money's worth

Variety posted an exclusive saying Brie Larson is in early talks with Marvel to play Captain Marvel. Take from that what you will. Very talented actress, but she doesn't fit my idea of the character

Loved The Peanuts Movie. Great for all ages and level of familiarity with the franchise

Been burning through a bunch of comics on my vacation. Marvel 1872 - Gerry Duggan: Freaking fun and a quick read. Very fast-paced, lots of wild west action, lots of surprises and cameos. If there's one thing that disappointed me, it was how much more the cameos could have been if it stretched to a longer series. Gotham Central, Book 1: In the Line of Duty - Ed Brubaker: I've been watching Gotham on FOX since the pilot which lead me to this series. Complex, flawed protagonists, who aren't guaranteed a victory by the end of each story. Awesome stuff, and usually I hate cop dramas. Just the right amount of supervillain peppering in to make the situations larger than life and stories worth telling. Hawkeye Vol. 5: All-New Hawkeye - Jeff Lemire: I've read a lot of shade thrown on Kate Bishop's character in the past; I don't know that it was regarding this run or not, but I really liked the relationship between Kate and Clint. I really wasn't a fan of the storytelling format of this run though, splitting every page between current events and a scene from Clint's past. The story was alright, but the art was pretty lazy at times. Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows - Dan Slott: Where Peter's life should have wound up in the 616. Very rooted in the Peter I know and made me love all the supporting cast as well. Annie Parker deserved her own series. I'll have to see how she compares to "Mayday" Parker from the other universe

Captain America: Civil War

Just finished Kimmy Schmidt SS2 last night. I love, love, love Kimmy's story arc in this season. I was really left unsatisfied with how things were resolved though. The rest of the characters' stories were fine enough. Didn't become that big a fan of any of the new characters brought in this season

This time... it's personal

The worst part of The Hand is they're so crammed into a trope I can't find a name for.

Thoughts on the ending of SSN2 and a less popular opinion on something in the first half

Watched Black Mass, starring Johnny Depp as Whitey Bulger. Never have I watched so intently a 2 hour movie with absolutely nothing interesting going on. I'm really only hooked by any of the characters in the first act. From there, it just feels like an over-produced, sanitized attempt at any other gangster film. It tries to cover so much from so many perspectives that it lacks any connection. I just felt like it was a disjointed story that left out a lot of humanizing characters for anyone. Adam Scott's character pissed me off more than anything because he's frequently, FREQUENTLY cut to for reaction shots, but his character is completely inconsequential. I don't know if there's an entire deleted scenes side-story to his character or what but I could not possibly care based on what I saw. There are at least half a dozen characters who's names are hammered into our heads but who aren't memorable at all. For once I was wishing someone had made a story more Hollywood just to tell a better story. I also don't like the name of the film, but can't complain too much about that because they lifted it from the source material book

I heard it as "Anderu" which I thought was some military thing

Other than last night, I've seen every episode of Supergirl. That newsbite has too many exclamation points when talking about Supergirl.

Mad Max: Fury Road Kingsman: The Secret Service Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation Inside Out Goosebumps Ant-Man Jurassic World Avengers: Age of Ultron Get Hard Room

Has anyone checked out Lucifer? I haven't heard anything about it on the internet since it's premier, but according to wiki there's been good ratings

I was concerned it was titled Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts. Made me really concerned for what that could even mean

If that's episode 6, Red Faced, that's my favorite episode of the series. I thought Benoist was a fine actress but this episode sold me on her.
