Excelsiortothemax posted:My buddy regularly reads x-men comics and I guess in one of the main story lines their is this giant fart cloud killing mutants, which is also resistant to every known power, ability and science, and so the only way they can 'save' everyone is if they transfuse inhuman blood into them. Thus they are no longer mutants, but inhumans. Quite considerate of the cloud monster to check the wiki before killing someone.

Why do you cast that? Is it just for the bankable name recognition? Like, I get giving a great actor a bit part and having that role be the best you can, but giving them a bit part and smearing poo poo on the script before you give it to them just seems wasteful.

Sir Potato posted:From last page, but bears repeating. I don't think it's ever been proven outright, but I've always felt Marvel's MO is to give the heroes more time to shine than the villains. The thing I remember most from pre-Marvel films is the focus on the villains, and making them the main attraction over the hero. "Here's DOC OCK!" "Here's DOC DOOM!" "JOKER BE COMIN UP IN THIS BITCH TONIGHT!" and Marvel just moved that focus line and put the heroes in the forefront. Made them the main attraction. Used a lesser unknown villain for them to punch. Which I used to like because almost always the villains sucked or were kinda poorly done. Venom was terrible. Doctor Doom was awful. Galatacus was, uh. Essentially the one's we put high up, were the ones they gave the most focus too. The one's we get to know before they turn bad. Or just simply hanging around them more. It got to a point for me when TDK came out on DVD, where I just skipped to the Joker scenes because they were the highlight of he entire film. Although I see it getting a little old.

Naw, he's right. TNG has some solid actors stranded in a lame as hell TV show. It also looks like it takes place in a retirement home lobby. The original series is the best.

Uh I think Farscape is the best sci fi show outside of the Twilight Show ever, but even I can't agree with this. It's a completely different thing. It's more like a grittier Flash Gordon than anything (and I love my Flash Gordon). If I was a kid I would have loved the poo poo out of it. Even as an adult, I still think it's pretty good.

It has some of the worst episodes but it also has a bunch of really fun ones. It's the worst season of TNG, but that's more of a testament to how good TNG was on the whole than how bad S1 is.

The less said about movie galactus the better. Loki was a great villain on the other hand and positively chewed up scenery wherever he could.

After season 1, they fired the head writer and the rest of the series became character driven. It improved a ton. Deep Space 9 is the best series, however.

I can't understand how ANYONE in their early teens would have given up on TNG when you have Troi, Crusher, Tasha Yar, Ensign Ro...and Picard, Geordi, and Riker. Like Jesus, better than Skinemax.
