Some of them are genuinely fun and actually good, yeah. Some are just kinda dumb fun, others are just completely forgettable, and a few are complete dog doo doo. By far the biggest waste of time among those I read was the one that adapted the original Evil Dead, I guess under the fair assumption that most people are only familiar with 2 and 3. It tried to retroactively apply Ash's douchey personality from the sequels to his character in the first movie, who was simply a weenie who got pushed too far by crazy events. It didn't work at all, and it had none of the charm that the original film has. Speaking of Evil Dead 1 Ash, I appreciated the AoD comic storyline where Ash wished himself a better world where he'd never been involved with deadites. It reverted his personality from Duke Nukem to happy spineless dork, since he hadn't been FORGED IN HELLFIRE yet. Sheila was now his modern day girlfriend and remembered everything, and was dismayed at how much of a boring loser Ash was, despite being happy for him.

Comics don't have theme songs*, so there's no point to an Action Man comic. *Except for Nextwave.

I remember reading a mini-series from 2004 or so that was really good, but I doubt that's canon with whatever's being published right now.

I just don't understand why Bill Murray was ok with doing the game and not a 3.

Teenage Fansub posted:I think he just resisted Ghostbusters 3 as long as he had to be a cast member. He's apparently got a cameo in the new movie. From what I understand, he also resisted the new one when it was going to be a "passing of the torch" sequel, even without his role in it. That's the big reason they had to make it a reboot.

So I read the Ghostbusters/TMNT crossover the other day. Is the art really that hideous in the main book? It looks like everyone's mouth is trying to run away from their faces.

WickedHate posted:Raising a literal army of child soldiers is pretty weird inherently, but she's such a huge diva about it. A better writer would take issues like that and the other flaws of the pre-Empire Jedi Order and handle them with a lot more subtlety. I always thought the attempts to introduce shades of grey to a setting where the bad guys wear black and have a giant Death Star was idiotic at best and malicious at worst. The Jedi shouldn't be sketchy, the Republic shouldn't be corrupt and "deserving" of being usurped by the Sith. That can't exist in the same world as the original three films. Wanting it to is nothing but a manifestation of cynicism.

People who are made in a robot factory on commission from Dracula and have no free will are totally heroic and noble, and people who dedicate their lives to understanding the nature of the universe and using this understanding to do good are Hitler.

Chairman Capone posted:That's another thing I liked about Traviss, she insisted that the clones never had any sort of brain chip or conditioning controlling them, they were all fully free. And as a result they carried out Order 66 because they were just such good soldiers they followed orders from their commander-in-chief. You'd think someone truly free might object to forced conscription or murdering children for a government structure that gives them no rights.

It's loving crazy that Simon Baz, a car thief arrested on suspicion of terrorism, is one of the more progressive black characters DC has written in the past 10 years.
