Fixed that for you.

He was pretty fucking angsty, dude. Like approaching NR levels of teen angst shit.

@Byrd Man

NR only thinks he's angsty. And then he tries really hard to convince the rest of us that that is the case.
Mister Rogers had more genuine angst than NR ever will.

Nah, dude. Petey was an angsty boy for a long time before Seabiscuit got a hold of him.

I think those early Spider-Man comics showed me that I would have not liked teenaged Stan Lee.

@Byrd Man

I always got the impression that Stan was never actually a teenager, and his angsty stuff in the early days of Spider-Man, the FF, and the original X-Men was him doing a "how do you do, fellow children?" routine. He's like Patrick Stewart in that I can never imagine either of them as ever being young; they were just born old.

@AndyC

I know lol. Hell, even 90's TAS had angst.
I was just poking fun at overly emo Maguire-Parker.

@Master Bruce

Been dealing with a busy week on top of sharp muscular pain in my neck (I can't look left without tense pain). I'm trying to get the post done, but between having less time on the PC this week and some other stuff it may come a little late. Hopefully I can get it out tonight or tomorrow before my deadline is up. Just letting you know.

[Lord Wraith]

Anyone see this yet?



Looks fun!

[Lord Wraith]

And another!

[Retired]

As fun and cool as that may look, I will not be tricked again. Suicide Squad also looked fun and cool. Unlike Snyder's Superman emblem, I have no hope.

EDIT: I've always liked Mera. Can't wait to see how they ruin her.

[Supermaxx]

Well, those were both miles ahead of the Titans trailer. So they've got that going for them.

[Lord Wraith]

Suicide Squad still makes me angry.

@Superboy

That's really not saying much.
That's like saying the Hindenburg disaster had the silver lining of not being as bad as the Titanic.

"God, DC, don't you know, superheroes are supposed to be fun and optimistic, and fill us with inspiration and hope! That's why we're all cynical, snarky, dismissive, hyper-critical, and unforgiving!"

It's baby steps for DC. They're trying. By God are they trying.

I'll definitely be waiting to hear reviews before I even contemplate buying a ticket, though. Justice League and BvS spurned me.

[Retired]

I have no problem with grimdark, serious, edgy, and/or gritty comic movies. I have a problem with bad writing, poor directing, and awkward performances. And, while, yes, I am obviously being extra critical now for comedic effect, and I can't fully judge the films until they release and I see them for myself, no pretty trailer from the DCEU will make me interested in another one of their movies. Regardless of how fun they may appear.

[Supermaxx]

Preach. Dredd and Dark Knight are some of my favorite comic book movies, and boy howdy are they grim. I'd be down for depressed Superman if they actually wrote him well.

@Superboy

Yeah, I'm sufficiently optimistic.

@Superboy

Wonder Woman was the last DCEU film I will ever pay to see in theaters. Even if these two get rave reviews, I'll wait. It took me nearly a year to see BvS.
