Given that optimistic doesn't even describe Finn in the final movie (certainly not as his main attribute), I think we can safely say things have changed since Finn had another name (what even is this...

Couldn't care less about "grander in scale," I only hope they don't regress past character development (like Luke's marriage), and I was really hoping to see Danny train Pei.

Honestly, it matters little whether you personally resonated with him, when he was clearly designed for such using fiction techniques as old as the genres of sci-fi and fantasy themselves. I might...

Same, an average-to-uninteresting mystical exposition character, with no chance of Lupita redeeming the part because her acting was smothered by rubbery CGI.



Yep, Finn incapacitated and the...

Finn is unequivocally the POV character. That is why he often seems a little on the back foot in terms of experience and knowledge, because he asks the questions the audience needs to know. He also...

That wasn't the only part where I was left wondering if the reviewer read the same book I did. For instance: "Telekinian, the telekinetic weirdo" - at no point did I get the impression we were meant...

I wouldn't describe the art as bad, but the way Swamp Thing is drawn doesn't look at all... well, swampy to me. With the smooth skin he just looks like Hulk with a different face.

Right, so your problem is with the concept of myth itself? Because whether it involves aliens, or spirits, or gods, or one god, every society on the planet has come up with myths which attribute some...

That's a false analogy, because powdered wigs, tricorn hats, and the constitution don't have anything to do with mythology. A direct analogy would be Greek myth (Hercules, Ares), Norse myth (Thor,...

No, it really isn't. Because the people who assume the Egyptians couldn't build the pyramids are talking about real life, and here we are talking about a fictional universe where myth and magic is...

What retcon?

And its not offensive. Every society creates myths, which often attribute human achievements to higher powers (think Prometheus stealing fire from the gods and giving it to man). All...

You know what, yep. That's it. You got it. That's exactly it. Very perceptive of you.

Well I'm not a K'un L'un expert but it is supposed to be the birthplace of kung fu in the MU, right? So do all the elements of real-world Asian culture and philosophy which K'un L'un stories draw on...

It matters because you just held up the "I'm not joking I've got my checkbook right here" line as proof that Peter wasn't joking.

Now you say he might have paid some other way, so I take it you...

Oh well that settles it then. No one has ever said one thing while meaning something else for comic effect before.

See what I did there.

I mean think about the context. Does he have a...

This coming from the guy who accuses people who disagree with him of blindly excusing and apologising. A real paragon of civil discussion, for sure.

Peter has spent this volume making risky...

Well it can't fix instances where his enemies won't accept his money. Like in this issue. So, so far, that would be 100% of his problems that money can't fix.



Putting aside the fact he was...

Why would I take a side if there is no good or bad guy? I'm not a child, I don't need to my fiction to be so black and white.

Its all such a cynical attempt to cash in on some of the worst aspects...

You and me both, buddy. You and me both. :(

You say that, and yet the goons in the comic aren't even working for Osborn, he just supplied the weapons.

It was absolutely in character for Pete, both in terms of its jokiness, and the fact he...

I enjoyed the issue, but I found the writing quite pedestrian. The cat massacre was a good, creepy concept to build on but it seemed to be introduced and resolved very abruptly. I also didn't think...

Can you not just look them up?

Could someone explain to me how Bobbi flew a distance that takes a jet half an hour to cover, using only a pair of wings with no discernible propulsion?

Then could someone explain to me why...

While not strictly necessary for a Thor catch-up, I would recommend reading the entirety of Gillen's Journey into Mystery, not just Everything Burns (since Everything Burns is the culmination of that...

Unless I am mistaken G Willow Wilson has only ever written those four issues of the most recent volume of X-Men? That must be the best quantity of work to chart position ratio, surely?

Although I...
