I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.
Just that half of the "delayed for reshoots" of recent memory (Justice League, Suicide Squad, maybe New Mutants depending on what they're actually doing with the new footage) have completely missed the point.

I only posted the cat one because it was funny and who cares about character posters?

I'd never guess someone would take offense at a kitty getting a spotlight.

Peter Parker is bitten by a radioactive spider, granting him the power to do whatever a spider can.... including design and manufacture a miniature device to shoot out webs.

Mind you I also think Superman shouldn't have laser eyes.

I accept death ray eyes. It's ice breath that feels like 1 step over the line. Might as well give him the super ventriloquism at that point.

It's a common joke about Network execs meddling with films in an attempt to chase an audience.

But the bit about including more cats was also a plot point in the film Scrouged.

Solar radiation is strongest in the yellow-green wavelengths (a bit over 500nm).

The sun is approximately black anyway.

the sun peaks in the green but it's not by any means a yellow star, whereas red stars would actually have much of their output in the red part of the spectrum. I don't blame old superman comics for using what was even then somewhat of an antiquated and outdated system for classifying how stars shine. I more blame recent comics for not doing some simple retcon and thus promoting a social myth, similar to stories that promote 'you use 10% of your brain' myths.

The sun being the closest thing to a true black-body in the solar system means that it doesn't reflect light and has nothing to do with its emission but I'm pretty sure you know that and were making a joke, so I'll just leave this here to explain it for those who don't get it. Because we all know that explaining a joke makes it a lot better.

Superman’s flight speed is entirely proportional to how determined he is at any given moment.

You're probably right. It should be one or the other, but not both. Except in like the video games or the really silly stories. Then give Superman every power possible because that's basically what he used to do.

I'm happy to accept that Superman has a muscle we don't have that he clenchs when he wants to fly.

I'm even more happy to accept that the muscle is in his rear end.

The general conclusion at the time was "He flexes his gravitons" which is somewhat like this, so yea, let's go with that. He clenches his butt real hard.

So the trailer for John Wick 3 just dropped. Looks like Halle Berry gets to play an actual badass, which is good since Kingsman, X-Men, and Catwoman have all shortchanged her on that count.

I think that is supposed to be Dr. Minerva (obscure Kree Super scientist.), as played by Gemma Chan. She was in a BBC series (Humans) and had a part in Crazy, Rich Asians.

She's of Asian descent with a posh British accent. So she's hitting all fetish beats.

She's had small roles in Sherlock, Doctor Who and was the big bad in TF5. Based on Humans alone I'd say she's a pretty good actress.
