Controversial Opinions (For Everything Other Than DC Comics)

Speaking of Debbie Gibson...

I will say one Elvis song I love and never tire of listening to was His Latest Flame.

For me, it's "Suspicious Minds"

The only worthwhile contributions Geoff Johns ever made to DC were Stargirl, his revival of the JSA, and maybe his nu52 Aquaman run. Maybe.

He brought back Hal and Barry, I'm sure their fans feel that significant.

I really like an Avengers arc he did called "Red Zone", it's probably one of my favorite "modern" Avengers stories.

I thought Mark Waid brought back Barry?

I think the story you might be thinking of was "The Return of Barry Allen" which was written by Waid in the 90's? It explained the Speed Force and Flash Legacy and what not, but the twist was that Barry turned out to Reverse Flash in disguise.

The Johns Barry Allen story I was referring to was Flash: Rebirth which done by Geoff with EVS in the early 2000's. Same team did the GL:Rebirth. This was like DC being, "Ok, no fooling this time...the Silver Age versions are back for real! We're giving them ongoings!"

John's is responsible for what I like to call the Mercury Age - the pushing of Silver Age only characters as much as they could get away with, added to some 90s excess. Looks like Silver, but it's actually a toxic substance.

I'm not gonna try and diss something certain groups of fans enjoy, but (imho), Johns and his tendency to simply bring back aspects of his childhood in comics is a big reason nostalgia has an unhealthy chokehold over the medium.

Pretty much this, yeah.

I just watched the trailer for the Netflix animated Good Times show and I was shaking my damn head...it has every ghetto stereotype of the last 30yrs smushed together. Then I saw Seth McFarland's name attached and it made perfect sense. He's trying to be offensive on purpose. Still not going to watch it though. But if nothing else, I hope it shuts up all these folks who like to say, "You can't do Blazin' Saddles today!"

Also, will any of the folks "offended" by non-binary Morf mention this show as an example "woke Hollywood" out of control?

Will the wokespotters act offended? Isn't that the default setting?

An animated Good Times? Seriously? I never liked the original version, so this will be a hard pas for me.

That is nothing compared to the Netflix Moses Docuseries. A look at the life of a man who did not exist. A fairy-tale based on Babylonian myth.

[Ghost Rider TheHellfireDemon]

I say it's still a plot hole even if a deleted scene removes a plot hole such as Jurrasic Park The Lost World that shows Raptors getting in the narrow area on the ship to kill humans which a T-Rex could not fit in which is a deleted scene, Ghost Rider which has a deleted scene that Blackheart saying he has all his Father's strengths and none of his weaknesses so he can walk into a church and other safe areas, etc.
Or a person has to find an explanation online to remove a plot hole.

A movie should be able to stand on its own for valuable information that removes a plot hole instead of relying on the audience to search for an explanation to remove a plot hole, look in a book or somewhere else for the explanation, and also a deleted scene or deleted scenes that didn't get used.

I'm over Jason Kelce's lovable, living my best life, goofball schtick. Travis > Jason.
